Whenever I think of Shakey Graves, I'm reminded of this Rich Hall (as his Otis Crenshaw character) quote:

"You can play guitar and harmonica at the same time, like, you know, Bob Dylan or Neil Young, well you're a genius. Make that extra effort to strap some cymbals to your knees, and people will cross the street to get the hell away from you."

Agree on too much cheese ( order a little lite) but you lost me at Dayton ST better smh.

this is pretty much my take on ernie's. i live in amity right now, so ernie's and dayton st are my local spots. ernie's is a pretty great pie, and a good spot to hang and crush miller high lifes, but it's waaay too much cheese. i order it light on the cheese, and it still feels a little excessive.

i am into dayton st, though. in barstool terms, it's good "football pizza." nothing special, but i would order it for a party 10 out of 10 times.

As Yogi similarly said, "Nobody goes there any more; it's too crowded."
He likely didn't speak with a semi-colon in mind.

One of the magazines (remember magazines?) I used to write for, the editor held that our product was read in the Jon by Bubba. Hence, Bubba's Rules of the Jon, number 6 of which was, "Semicolons are not allowed in the Jon. If you have the urge to use one, use a period and start a new sentence."

By and large sound advice.

In Yogi's telling, the two clauses are so linked that a period would be too much, and "... , because... "would ruin the comic timing.
 
Ate at ernies last evening. Sorta disappointing. Wasn’t terrible but not what I was expecting
 
The Apizza 8 is settled (according to Taste of New Haven)

"Honorable mentions: Brick Oven Pizza, Tolli's Apizza, Next Door Big Green Truck Pizza, DePalmas Apizza, Yorkside Pizza, Abate Apizza and then there’s the remaining 300 pizzerias in Greater New Haven! Nothing to complain about!"

6:00 PM on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. No line at Pepe’s. Big line at Sally’s. The power of barstool, like it or not. Crazy.

Wow! On a Friday!
 
Gotta give a slice tip to Brickside Pizza in Ivoryton. Thin crust, wood-fired pizza. The edge crust is puffy and crunchy. Addictive.

In the northwest corner, that means, from Torrington, north and west. 1) Deano's Pizza in Lakeville, a thin-crust Brooklyn style pie. Great specialty pies. Lasagna pie, buffalo chicken pie and sweet chili chicken pies are very good. 2) The Berkshire Café in Torrington 3) Roma's in Torrington 4) Bohemian Pizza in Litchfield 5) Kent Pizza in Winsted

Bohemian Pizza is ok, not great, but ok. Been there several times. Nice atmosphere and great service but the pizza is not up to New Haven top 8 standards however other things on the menu are very very good. I'll get take out there on on occasion.

The guy is an actor and spends most of his time in LA. He can't handle true New Haven Pizza right away. Going to a second tier joint in CT first like Bohemian is like a 12-step pizza program. I did the same myself when I lived around Boston and had not made it back to CT in several years. I hit Rossini's first in the burbs before I was ready to venture into New Haven.

He could try Roseland in quiet Derby, it's just as good as the top places in New Haven.

Bohemian was pretty good a million years ago when the Croatian guy ran it. I've seen some stuff at that bar back in the day which would probably make you lose your appetite.

About a decade ago I would play that place once a month for a few years running. The pizza was more than decent for up there. It was a fun place, used to get sweaty style packed to the gills . And yes could be grimy. When it changed I stopped booking it.

Gary still owns the bar, did he clean it up or something?

Having a Pie at John's, Joe's, Lombardi's, Lucali (Brooklyn), Grimaldi's (Brooklyn), Sottocasa (Brooklyn, an under the radar basement place with an outdoor patio that I found a while back), Patsy's (Brooklyn next to Barclay's), Razza (Jersey City, which is one I still need to try) are all acceptable steps on the way back to New Haven pizza.
 
Had lunch at Zuppardi's yesterday. Three small pies: white clam, mozzarella, and plain grated cheese plus sausage.

All were delicious, if a step below the big 3, hard for me to figure out how. White clam is perfection and blows Pepe's factory shucked clams out of the water.
