OT: Best Pizza in CT

Had a mootz last night at Sally's one week after having had Modern. Never had em that close together. Sally's blows Modern away IMO. Sally's and Pepe's are comparable, though Pepe's can be inconsistent.

"Blows away" is much too strong imo. My sample size with Modern is easily 100 times greater than the other two because I am rarely able to time Pepe's and Sally's so that they are not a hassle, so it's Modern for us most of the time. The thing with Modern though is you have to specify "light mozz, well done."

I agree that Sally's is the best of the three going solely by pizza quality, but unless the new owners have already made radical changes, the time/inconvenience factor is not enough to sway me there. Pepe's has underwhelmed me most frequently of the three.

But at the end of the day we're still quibbling at the margins of greatness to distinguish among them.

Except for Bufalina.

And Bobby's.
 
I’ve never had the luxury of eating new haven pizza (need to soon), however, I have had Frank Pepe in West Hartford several times and it’s not that good- usually undercooked.

Two best I’ve had in CT are Harry’s pizza bishops corner in West Hartford and Colony Grill in Stamford.
 
Went to Price Street pizza for a couple Pepperoni squares after game yesterday. Fra Diavlo sauce excellent on that deal. Not bad for a NY slice.

The "star" goes beyond a pizza fold and makes it a sandwhich. No credibility.

Pepe’s in Elmwood is okay but nothing special. Harry’s (both Harry’s) and Luna are better.
 
Sasso's in Torrington! Holy *&%#ing $#*!! The last time I was this pleasantly surprised by something Connecticut-related it was the 2014 tournament draw!

I am seriously shocked at how good this is – as good as Anthony's and IMO it's on par with the best any of the places on the shore have to offer (though obviously the crust is different – casual pizza fans don't understand that interior Connecticut crust is different from shoreline crust because of the yeast).

I can not recommend this enough:

sasso's

Go grab a pie and then head up to visit @idahohusky at Great Falls.
 
A few of us will be in Danbury (oh well) during the college bowl games. Delivery suggestions? None of us are local to Dambury and cant scan 1200 pages.

Google says Sono. Any thoughts local huskies?

Thanks.

There is a Frank Pepe’s in Danbury. It’s not the original on Wooster Street, but it’s real New Haven style Apizza.
 
Jerry’s in Middletown just celebrated their 50th anniversary on Thursday. So, of course, my son and I went and had the most disappointing pie I’ve ever ordered from the place! In all seriousness, it was late and they were probably tired from the festivities. It was still good, I love Jerry’s ...

BTW, if it wasn’t for New Haven we might be talking about Middletown; Connecticut pizza is that good.

If I had to get delivery, I'd go through Vroomservice and decide between Mangia Mangia or Michael Angelo's. I pretty much always get takeout so I'm not super familiar with delivery options. I'd only get Mangia Mangia if you're relatively close to the Brookfield line though
 
Anyone remember the old Genos Pizza on New London Tpke in Glastonbury? I know Greek pizza is a sin around here, but that place was awesome. Anyone know where to get a decent Greek style pie in the area now?

It’s a Harry’s now I believe. Foxy pizza in Glastonbury is Greek style and very good. I would give it a try.

Yes it’s Harry’s now. Harry’s is good but every once in a while I get a hankering for a pan pizza.
 
The casual pizza fans that I know, swear by Park Lane in West Hartford.

In G-Bury, Angelo's isn't terrible I guess. Just take two slices of Harry's or Luna's and stack one on top of the other.

Angelina's in Hartford on 97 Prospect Avenue isn't bad. Big portions. They also have sheet pan pizza. Food seemed to have some Greek undertones.
 
My wife is a fan of Greek style pizza. Her favorite, which I find tolerable (although it in no way satisfies a pizza craving for me) is Apollo in Derby.

I'm pretty sure Procaccini's near the East Hartford/Glastonbury line is owned by the brother of the former Geno's owner and Hartford Road pizza in Manchester in owned by his nephew. So they may be simular to what you're looking for.
