Bufalina is excellent.

Bobby's Apizza in North Branford better though.

Don't go insulting Bufalina like that! (I haven't been to Bobby's) ;)

Coal and Daisies was pretty good in Branford, loud/crowded, bar atmosphere. But the pizza was quality.

Its not really better than Bufalina. I just like playing with my buddy 8893.

Its very good Classic style Pizza though. Not disappointing at all. Eat it there if you can. You will feel like you are back in the early 70's (or if you arent old enough to remember the 70's , well, thats what it was like)
 
Anyone have a weird favorite pizza they custom order? Curious to hear what kind of different things people like.

For me, it's Pepe's white, broccoli, grated cheese only, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano. Well done crust. (basically the traditional white clam with a broccoli sub for the clams).

Other personal favorite is margherita with sausage and a lot of basil.

lol not quite old enough. But there are enough places around here that still look that way that I know the deal.

There was a place in New Haven call Abeetz, that was designed like a 70s pizza parlor, faux wood panels and all. Got shuttered after liquor violation. But wanted to be a fast-casual chain that didn't pan out.

Once upon a time the BAR mashed potato and bacon pie was deemed weird, but now it's a thing.

At Harry's we used to order shrimp and bacon with jalapenos, or Hawaiian (Canadian bacon and pineapple) with jalapenos. Loved both of those but haven't found another place to make them reliably.

At the urging of my brother I tried the American cheese pizza at Modern and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I think I got it with meatball; but the American cheese takes on a whole different texture in those ovens.

That place was a terrible concept on so many levels. The liquor violation was like a mercy killing.

This is what this thread should morph towards. How many more posts/pages are needed to sing the praises of the New Haven Four?

It is not exactly a custom order everywhere, but I like Monterrey Chicken for a change of pace.

It's a white pizza with chicken, bacon, sauteed onion, and gorgonzola. Both Giovanni's in Glastonbury and NY Family in Groton sell it by the slice. Fireside Brick Oven Creations (Gales Ferry) and The Plum Tomato (Salem and Colchester) have a sandwich version.

The go-to at Rossini's is a red pizza, so I don't know if they have a version and It's not important enough for me to look at a menu at the moment.

Solid choice. Has to pretty much reek of garlic for me. Very few places around me offer rapini (luckily two legit places I frequent do) and wife hates it so it's a rare treat. I also do like a red sauce eggplant with ricotta, which is also only available in a couple of places.

That "specialty pizza" section makes me weep for humanity though.

Haven’t looked.

But If that makes you weep I’m surprised you haven’t put a shotgun in your mouth after a trip to Betos

For a good marriage, sometimes one has to sacrifice themselves for their spouse's amusement.

Besides, Beto's pretty much only has "classic" toppings, or did when I went there a decade ago. I've actually had worse pizza, although Beto's is probably fourth or fifth on that list.

Dude.
I hate you for even bringing a picture like this into my life. Its offensive. I will never be able to unsee it. It will haunt me for the rest of my days.

Its the Pizza thread equivalent of getting Rick Rolled.

I installed the one bite app.

I had it for 10 minutes. The randos are even worse than the barstool guy.

It legitimately made me angry.

Right. Because you talking about a pork belly sandwich from Arby's is so much better.

Forgot to mention our most frequent combo: red pie with artichoke hearts and eggplant. If ordering from Modern I also specify “well done, light mozz.”

I needed that laugh. Been a rough day. Watched the contrast of what statesmanship was vs what it's become all morning then learned I didn't get selected for 2nd interview for a job I wanted and thought I aced the 1st interview. I'm sure it's age-related. So thanks for that.

And I couldn't help but notice that you're making everyone else in the thread look at that photo too :-)

But if you're ever in town, I can take you to someplace worse. It's a place that was recommended in r/pittsburgh pizza threads. And it's the only time in my life I picked up a pizza, took a bite, then called another pizza place and threw that one in the trash.
