Roseland Apizza: Authentic New Haven Style Pizza in Derby, CT

Just. WOW. very impressive pizza tucked in the quiet part of derby, just down the road from dew drop wings. I was right about leaving early to get a seat. It's a small joint with an even smaller parking lot. Server was warm, friendly and immediately noticed that it was my first time and showed me the massive portions of the dishes served there. I ordered a medium meatball pizza and the shrimp Florentine that I regretted because of the tall price. The shrimp was huge, and plenty on the pizza so they made sure it was worth the money. Short of that it was amazing. All the seafood pizzas including the Connecticut signature clam one is around $40 or so and it only comes in medium. So be advised should you order anything like that. It's very old timey and a warning that it's cash tip only. If you don't have cash, you have to write down the tip to have the server manually enter it in on the tab. My complaint is that I cant decide where it goes on the pizza scale. It's very close but below the three big pizza places but only by a tiny margin. I would put roseland pizza under zuppardis. I don't think I can recall another pizza place where I kept saying "WOW." I will be back now that I know what to expect.

Amazing food. All made fresh. I have allergy to olives and olive oil and they make my pizza without it. Everyone else puts olive oil in the dough or sprays pan with it. This is the only place I have found where they make there own dough free of allergens. They make there own bread to. Delicious!!

Pizza took forever, but wow it was worth the wait. Don’t miss out on the homemade sausage as it’s perfect. I also got the chicken, prosciutto, and spinach white pie which was delicious. I’ll be back. I think it’s up there with all of the New Haven spots

I am now able to see why this place is always at the top of so many lists. Wow, even after a 20+ ride back to my house, the pie was still hot and most importantly: crispy. A robust sauce, top notch toppings and a crispy, no flop crust? This is everything I want in a pizza. I wish I lived closer.

Wow! The amount of toppings they put on the pizzas is incredible! We got chicken , bacon, sausage and hot peppers. We also got a mash potatoes and bacon garlic Great place

Vintage interior design and very friendly staff. The shrimp casino is delicious — the the pizza texture is kind of like a less salty version of Frank Pepe’s. They give a generous amount of shrimp and bacon, but at $45 it still feels a bit pricey.

It's a great place. I've tried most of the Connecticut famous pizza spots and this might be in my top five.

Great service and great food. Came here on a Saturday night and didn’t have to wait too long. Got 3 pizzas pepperoni, a margarita pizza, and the shrimp casino which was recommended by our server. The pepperoni and margarita pizza were both great. The shrimp casino, was definitely something special. The amount of shrimp on the pizza was incredible and cooked perfectly.
