In a world where Dominos and Pizza Hut provide more pizza to US citizens than anything else, you cannot hate on Blaze.

This is not a gourmet pizzeria, it’s a fast casual joint that provides edible pizza made to order with real toppings for like $8. Can’t hate it anymore than calling Chipotle out for being a sorry excuse for Mexican food.

Thing is, in many places Chipotle is about as good as most of the "something in a tortilla smothered in cheese/yellow rice/refried beans all running into another on a plate" places that label themselves as "Mexican" restaurants. And a place like Blaze might be useful in a city like where I live where 98% of the pizza sucks.

But in CT, unless you're in the NE or NW corners of the state, there is no excuse to eat pizza at a place like Blaze or 1000 Degrees unless your parents take you there..

I agree. I only went to Blaze because I was in the Mall holiday shopping with my kids (for their mom), my oldest was hugary, which happens on an hourly basis no matter how much he eats, and I was not in the mood for a re-heated burger. It was food. Better than some in the Mall, worse than others. Living anywhere in metro NYC I would not go out of my way for it. If I was in Georgia, Kansas, etc. maybe if it was a quick drive and I really wanted pizza.
 
I will support all consumers of Blaze pizza, and proudly will feed my 3 year old son there while he stares at the fountains in Jordan's furniture while the theme from Star Wars blares in the background!

Never was a fan of the hot oil myself. I always went meatball and onion if I remember and it was pretty good, nothing to write home about.

Some people go crazy for Colony tho.

The hot oil pizza is "like a hot tamale in my mouth"? "It's too spicy for me..."

Whatever limited cred this dude has is shot to hell in my mind. Guy is a wuss. On the not hot oil pies at Colony, pretty much every regular adds hot pepper flakes.

Not to mention has no idea what a tamale tastes like.

Thanks for posting. That’s pretty well done.

I checked out the book written by the author featured here the other day. Looks like a good job there, too; I really hope someone gives it to me for Christmas. Otherwise I’ll be getting for myself.

Zuppardi’s Apizza putting taste of West Haven all over the map

>>Long one of the most popular pizza joints in both West Haven and Greater New Haven, Zuppardi’s — the second-oldest pizzeria in Connecticut after Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven — can now be found in grocery stores as far away as Texas, its owners say.<<
Expand ...

Just had a bacon & onion Zuppardi's at the Elks Club in Glastonbury. Probably the best frozen pizza I have had.
 
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.
