OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Purple Stein]

I'm going to the in-laws this afternoon to cool off in the pool and my wife and we’re going to order pizza for dinner.

Greatest sentence ever written?

"Bobby's", North Branford.

I lived in the New Haven area for decades before moving to Farmington seven years ago. My wife and I still travel to North Branford for Bobby's. Hartford area pizza can't come close to New Haven's (Modern is my favorite there), but Bobby's trumps all.

Tell them Sturge sent you.

What is your go-to pie there? I’ve been there once and loved the sausage. Interested in suggestions for next time.

 

[Viet Vet]

My go-to pie is a mozzarella with sausage and pepperoni (not half & half, both on the entire pie). My wife's is the fresh tomato with garlic, basil and white sauce.

I just found out First and Last in Middletown closed over some pissing match with the town. That was the best of the First and Last's IMO, and Middletown reminds us why they are Middletown by picking a fight with one of the 5 successful businesses on Main Street.

Taking my nephew to Sally’s Wednesday for his birthday. Will be 6 of us going. For people who have gone recently, all cash, no reservations, right?? Thanks in advance.

I can attest to the fact that the reverse often happens. A lot of the friends I left behind in ny bring Pepe's back to ny with them when they're in Connecticut, even if they have to stop at the easy-on, easy-off branch in Fairfield. If someone in the office is in Connecticut and doesn't bring back Pepe's, they're in the doghouse. Passing through at 6 am is not an excuse. They are supposed to wait.

A lot of it is just a preference with crust thickness. I've always been partial to Chicago style, but get sneered at in the Northeast for saying that. I was also in St. Louis this summer and they have their own style which was hideous. It was like they tried to see if they could make something really awful in the shape of a pizza, call it pizza, and see if people would still buy it.

There is actually something called Detroit Style. I assumed you had to dig it out of a dumpster while being mugged, but no, it's a real thing. Kind of like a cross between Chicago style (if they didn't make it with the cheese under the sauce) and Greek. It's not pleasant.

Haha. That’s one of the things I always liked about Family Guy, the odd CT references.

they redid the checkout area recently, and i think they take cards now. still no reservations, but if you get there early enough on a wednesday (like, 5pm) i bet it won't be too bad.

Ha, my bad. Family Guy has good CT references, good to see the Simpsons one too.

Isn't St Louis style like sauce on a cracker?

Yes, sauce and provel cheese on a cracker. They somehow took the cr@ppy Chicago cracker thin style and made it worse. Basically CT., NY, and NJ are the only states who know how to make pizza.

Went 3 weeks ago and they take cards now. They gave a little bit of gruff when we paid with one but no real pushback. Still no reservations. We went on a Sunday night (2 people) and waited about 90 minutes and then another 30 or so for the pizza, but it was well worth it.

Great feedback, thanks. Wow, 90 minutes on a Sunday.

Speaking of Sally's plain mozz or with a few toppings? It has been too long.

Dan is not running due to his.... let’s say... shenanigans.

Either no mozz or toppings (sausage, pepperoni, bacon).

We did one small plain one small with pepperoni. Both fantastic. Got the tip recently to stick with multiple smalls to maximize crust. I live in NYC, but was my favorite New Haven pizza experience so far.

We've got a couple of Detroit-style places here and done right, Detroit style can be delicious. One of them does a ricotta/lemon zest slice that is in the top 10 slices I've ever had.

Jimmy's in Milford is really, really good. It is a kind of hidden spot but the flavor in the crust is ridiculous and the sauce has an amazing flavor.

I always like their Garden Pie in season, but last time we went there the red pie with bacon and mozz that my daughter ordered was the clear winner at our table.

Thanks, 8893. I knew you would steer me right.

For those who haven’t gone in awhile Sally’s takes credit cards now.

This would be my vote, but *and* instead of *or*:

Tomato pie
Mootz and your preferred meat

That’s exactly right. You can’t skip the Sally’s tomato pie, just like you can’t skip Pepe’s clam. And then supplement
