The Art of New Haven-Style Pizza at Mulberry Street Pizza
At Mulberry Street Pizza on Main Street in Manchester, we take pride in our commitment to creating authentic New Haven-style pizza. Every pizza we make is a labor of love, crafted with fresh ingredients and handmade at every step. Here’s a look behind the scenes at how we prepare our pizzas, from dough to slice.
The Dough: Where It All Begins
The foundation of every great pizza is the dough. At Mulberry Street Pizza, we make our dough from scratch daily, using a time-honored recipe that gives our crust that signature New Haven-style flavor and texture. We carefully mix just the right combination of flour, yeast, water, and salt to create the perfect dough that is light, chewy, and full of flavor.
Once the dough is mixed, we let it proof. This crucial step allows the dough to rise slowly, developing the texture and taste that make New Haven-style pizza so special. Patience is key—our dough is allowed to proof for hours, ensuring the crust is just right when it hits the oven.
Shredding Our Own Cheese
Quality cheese is essential to the perfect pizza, and that’s why we shred our own at Mulberry Street. We use fresh, high-quality cheese that we prepare in-house every day. By shredding it ourselves, we ensure the freshest, most flavorful cheese possible, with just the right melt and stretch on your pizza.
Toppings Made In-House with Fresh, Local Ingredients
At Mulberry Street Pizza, we believe that great pizza starts with the best ingredients. That’s why we make all of our toppings in-house, from our marinara sauce to our savory meats and roasted vegetables. Whenever possible, we source fresh, local ingredients from farmers and suppliers in the area.
Our toppings are prepared with care and attention to detail—whether it’s slicing fresh tomatoes, hand-pounding chicken breast, or roasting vegetables to perfection. Each topping is made to enhance the overall flavor and balance of every pizza.
The Oven: Where the Magic Happens
Our New Haven-style pizzas are cooked in a high-temperature oven that ensures a perfect bake every time. The hot oven crisps the crust while leaving it chewy on the inside, with that signature char that defines New Haven pizza.
We keep a close eye on each pizza as it cooks, making sure it reaches the ideal level of doneness before pulling it from the oven. Every pizza is finished with a hand cut, ensuring even slices that showcase the artistry of the entire process.
Fresh Ingredients, Handmade Preparation
From the first step to the final slice, everything at Mulberry Street Pizza is done by hand. We believe that the best pizza comes from fresh ingredients and a dedication to quality. Whether it’s our carefully proofed dough, our freshly shredded cheese, or our house-made toppings, every element of our pizzas is prepared with care.
The result? A pizza that is rich in flavor, with a perfect balance of crispy, chewy crust, fresh toppings, and gooey cheese.
