The 9,000-pound sculpture is now outside Modern Apizza on State Street, but after a few months, it will find a permanent home elsewhere in the city.

“We have pizza to make people smile too, but this is just a little extra ‘wow’ factor on top of it. I just think it’s really great for the community,” Modern Apizza owner William Pustari said.

The New Haven Pizza Club is a local art collective that works to honor the Elm City’s rich pizza legacy.
