OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I'll level with you, were drunk and need a nearby place more than anything else

Fat Cat & Colony will support you in drinking more.
Letizia's while more a take out ambience is probably best as drunk food.
The obligatory ask: who's driving?

 

[Ewekon]

Romanacci on Westport Ave. In Norwalk is very good and has beer.

Well hell then, head for Drydock or Uncle Joe's.

Not me

Not me

Where did you end up?

 

[Durks07]

Where did you end up?

Sadly, we went to a sushi place, so I ended up at a place called slice of italy. It wasn't great.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Boneyard, I need help. I'm in Norwalk tonight. What good pizza places are nearby?

There is a Colony Pizza in Norwalk. Its just north of I-95 and SoNo on the main drag in a new apartment building with free parking. It shares a courtyard with Barcelona Wine Bar and Sedona Taphouse. Its not New Haven and not even the original Colony in Stamford; but, its good.

As a FYI, there are a lot of dining choices in Norwalk.

Is Pasta Nostra still there? Use to love the place, went there a lot years ago, best freshly made pasta I ever had. Their garlic & oil with bacon and cherry tomatoes was the best I ever had.

To the best of my knowledge, no. I think Bruculino is in that space now.

East Haven’s Tolli’s Apizza poised to expand — to South Carolina

>>One of East Haven’s oldest and best pizzerias, Tolli’s Apizza at 410 Main St., is getting ready to open a second place later this year in a well-traveled, fast-growing shopping area of Johns Island, S.C., a barrier island just outside Charleston, S.C.<<

I keep hearing De Legna is comparable if not better than the big names in New Haven.

I have not tried it yet - what say you, pizza lovers?

God no.

Its good/really good Pizza. But yeah, no.

 

[elmcityboy]

da legna isn't new haven-style pizza. it's wood fired neopolitan-style pizza with a bunch of fancy toppings. it's good, and i'm glad it exists here in town, but if you want pepe's-sally's-modern, don't settle for da legna.

recently had "olde world apizza" in north haven for the first time. definitely one of the better, lesser-known pies in greater new haven.

Could be a contender to be another Bobby's !

Absolutely solid pie. They came from Modern iirc. I believe they also have a pizza truck now.

Reputed to be Modern alums, and a good takeout place, especially for a passing thru jump off/on along the Wilbur Cross.

Edit: ^ oh well @8893

Wrong But I will admit Zupps make an awesome white clam if you don’t mind spending $25 on a small

East Haven to S.C. isn't that much of a cultural leap.

Anyone know good spots for Sicilian or God forbid Chicago style in Fairfield County?

Cracks me up that they don’t take credit cards but will take a check. Olde World is definitely one of the better pizzas outside of the top 3

Charleston has so many transplants and no good pizza so not a bad idea.

Jerry's Shakespeare Pizza in Stratford was my introduction to Sicilian pie. I probably ate more Sicilian slices there than the number of slices of pizza I have ever ordered at all other pizza places combined. I still have scars on my chin from the cheese falling off in one bite almost four decades ago. I believe they are still going strong, although I haven't had Sicilian in a very long time.

They’re fine, but there’s really no point in going there when you’re in new haven. I’d comp them with a place like Krust in Middletown.

You hosting a group of philistines this weekend or something?

You guys have Detroit-style pizza up there yet? We've now got three, all in the past two years. One is a chain (Jet's). Kinda like Sicilian- meets-Greek. Anyway, if there is one in Ffld Cty, that might do the trick.
