NEW HAVEN — The new College of Health and Human Services building at Southern Connecticut State University was built on slices from Ernie's Pizzeria in New Haven.That's where construction workers usually ate when they took their lunch break, eatery owner Pasqual Deriso said. Throughout its history, Ernie's has linked itself to SCSU in other ways. According to Deriso, the family-owned pizzeria, located less than two miles from campus, has provided food for different sporting events at the school, including basketball camps and the Special Olympics Connecticut Summer Games.
