OT: Best Pizza in CT

I love pineapple and love it sometimes on a chicken sandwich. I love the sweet salty combo (melon with a cured meat) but never thought it had a place on pizza.

It's the temperature that makes it disgusting. Hot pineapple.... I'm sure if you tried hot melon and cured meat, it would be similarly disgusting.

Yup, that's it. :rolleyes:

Oh, but wait. 133 pages of espousing the New Haven Big 4 (Modern, Zuppardi's, Pepe, and Sally's) are better than any other parlor in the state, and thereby the country, is okay? That's not beating anyone over the head? Best you just get over my post and move on.

Getting back to peppers, Red, orange, and yellow bell are all fine, especially roasted, and they are more nutritious. On the other hand, the only decent green pepper varieties have some heat to them, IMO (Jalepeno, Serrano, Poblano, etc.). Still wouldn't prefer them on pizza.

Oh calm down and take a joke you green pepper-hating head beater.

My hatred of green peppers is not a laughing matter. Neck and neck with that of cauliflower.

Had a revelation about a month ago with hot pineapple as part of a crawfish boil. Fresh pineapple slices in a steaming hot very well seasoned seafood boil and it tasted great. All the natural sweetness of pineapple countered by the salty and spicy seafood seasoning.
First time I had that combination and it worked well. Think mango habanero.

Truth.

Wait does this quote group a bunch of things together and then use that disparage the culture as disconnected?

I mean it’s just objectively true that New Haven has the best pizza in the world
 
I just wanna note that I went to Sassano about a week ago and didn’t really like it. The crust is ridiculously thick. It’s like eating a loaf of bread. My favorite Hartford area may be Harry’s bishops corner, or Naples. Glastonbury doesn’t really have a great spot

Did a Margherita and a clam with bacon at Pepe’s yesterday before Trey show. They were on point . Right crust, right char, Pepe’s got some credit back from me, because they had been all over map on my recent previous visits. But yesterday was them at their best.

Wooster street is now a sheet show. The lines at Pepe’s and Sally’s were insane. Sally’s especially. Modern had a huge line too. Which you don’t see at that level. I blame the barstool idiot. Lots of pizza tourists making the pilgrimage. All out of state plates.

Some of the foodie shows will spike their filming to prevent mom and pop"s from getting overrun by Google search. Some joints don't want the press and just want to be a small little place off the radar.

Do you even Thai food, bro?
Expand ...

I enjoy savory over sweet 99% of the time. One can Thai or Mexican or Chinese and avoid curries with pineapple, al pastor tacos or sweet n sour dishes rather easily. It's rare I'm in the mood for sweet in an entree and I agree that hot pineapple kinda sucks (and overpowers other elements). About the only cuisine where I really like fruit in the dish is Moroccan, and that's usually either dried apricots, prunes or dates.

First day I went to work in my company's Mexico City office, staff ordered in pizza for lunch. It was like 6 pineapple and ham pizzas and one plain. From Domino's. That was so wrong on two levels. But the combo was by far their favorite, and they never understood why I wouldn't partake.

Moroccan food is maybe my least favorite cuisine for this reason.

Last day of classes at Yale was Friday. Im sure that didn't help. Ive learned to check the Yale calendar when considering Wooster Street eats. School was out on the night of the JRAD show, probably why there was no wait at Sally's at 6 PM on a Thursday . . .

Got my last paper due May 1! Wanna do Sally’s after graduation but impossible considering they don’t do reservations
 
Had Little Rendezvous for the first time today... Eh. It was good and better than most, but not even in the same stratosphere as the big boys, imo...
 
Before I look, I'm guessing vodka.

Edit: nope. But I've been seeing stuff on adding vodka to dough for baking. Haven't tried it but the science seems interesting.

So this is interesting

wait, hoad up. that pie in the pic, and in the vid looks downright nasty. dare I sayit--ballpark pizza. I thought the latest video blowhard za expert was gonna say add a little cornmeal in the dough, or mebbe don't forget to pour some oil on top, but nooooooo, I get a commercial for pepe's. I feel like Ralphie when he figured out the little orphan annie decoder ring scam. here, i'll help--'the ClifSpliffy world-famous Connecticut home pizza recipe!' as seen by 100's of thousands around the globe!
1. buy or make a one pound dough. cornmeal helps.
2. slice and distribute some fresh tomato,
3. add a half pound of scamozza. drizzle oil.
(variations encouraged, pizza stone helpful)
crank ur oven to the max and huck the pie in there. garruntee to not look or taste like that mess depicted. abbondanzza!

Nothing special. You can get better tomatoes for za at any decent grocer. Even stop and shop has a couple decent brands.

Kind of strange that they use a Costco looking pizza in the commercial when they could have maybe, oh I don’t know, used a pizza from Pepe’s? ‍♂️
