I used to live in a house the parking lot behind there about 250 feet door to door. It’s serviceable that’s it. I stick by that. But I haven’t been there in 15 years either.
Anybody know why Bohemian was torn down and rebuilt in the identical footprint? I don’t think there was a fire?
I don’t know if I weighed in on it before but I am guessing I did. We get pizza there occasionally. I think Nuzz is stretching the “big four” simply because the original was technically in New Haven, but it is Fair Haven and no one I know considers Grand Apizza on par with Sally’s, Modern or Pepe’s. It is definitely among the best of the next level though. It is very decent non-New Haven, New Haven-style pizza. Of which there are many. Thankfully.
A few months back the New Haven Register has a very nice write up on the guy who shucks the clams and has for years.
That's what happens when I jump on something before getting further down the scroll. Nice that you pulled it up to share.Imagine that...
It was falling apart, roof caving in. I remember bugging Gary for work before the place even opened over 20 years ago and he would ask my friend all the time if he wanted to buy it off him. I'm glad he kept it all these years.
Which one are you going to? The one on Naugatuck Ave. in Devon is better than the one on Bridgeport Ave. IMO.
The thing to get at Papa’s is not the pizza, but the “cone” grinders. Chicken parm cone especially.
IIRC, they have good coupons early in the week for those who want to make up their own mind about the pizza. Didn't strike me as something worth crossing town lines for, but not bad.
Agreed. Definitely not bad. But the cones are a distinctive item and worth a trip imo. They cut off one end of a grinder roll, hollow it out, fill it with your grinder filling of choice (in my case, chicken parm, which is cubed) and then put back a bread cork of sorts on the open end and then put it in the oven to seal the cone and heat the filling. Makes for a very nice and unique grinder.
Update: Nope.

You're a genius.
you spying on my crib again? stop it or i'll sic the hounds, or mikey nuzz on you.
Did you get the special pie with pesto, peas, scapes, buffalo mozzarella and bacon? Had that earlier this week and thought it was excellent. Also got the fagioli (white bean purée, sausage, charred broccoli and lemon) from the new summer menu and thought it was good but not as good as the special.
I did not but now you have me thinking I need a return trip very soon! I ordered a margherita as a starter while waiting for someone. I got surprisingly full from that and didn’t try another pie.
Scapes will probably be gone after this week. They are usually only around for a few weeks, and Bufalina usually changes their special pie by the week.
I was definitely eyeing the fichi!
