"The Ah-Beetz mission is to deliver the soulful, charred, and authentic "Apizza" culture of New Haven, Connecticut, to neighborhoods across America. Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza was born from the childhood memories of founder Nicholas Laudano. Growing up in the " Pizza Capital of the World, " Laudano spent his youth in the legendary kitchens of New Haven's "Big Three" pizzerias, Sally's, Pepe' s and This is where he learned the "alchemy" of making New Haven style pizza and the specific Neapolitan dialect."
"Every Ah-Beetz pie features the signature thin, crispy-yet-chewy crust with distinct "char"-the dark, smoky bubbles that provide character and flavor when mixed in with the other high quality ingredients, baked in special high temperature 800-degree ovens. From the iconic White Clam Pie (clams, garlic and olive oil), the "Classic Mootz" signature cheese pizza (mozzarella, family recipe sauce, pecorino romano cheese), to the Margherita Pie (fresh mozzarella, pecorino romano, tomato sauce, basil and oregano)."
Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza brings New Haven-style "Apizza" to suburban markets with a focus on soulful, charred pies baked in 800-degree ovens. The brand emphasizes a thin, crispy-yet-chewy crust with smoky "char" bubbles and high-quality ingredients across signature pies like the White Clam, Classic Mootz, and Margherita. Founder Nicholas Laudano developed the recipe and craft from childhood experience in New Haven's renowned pizzerias. Three longtime friends—Brett Benik, Jason Doherty, and Emanuele Cardaci—opened the first franchise location in Marietta, Georgia in late 2025. The company launched a national franchise program in 2025 and opened a second franchise in Port St. Lucie, Florida on January 6, 2026.
