OT: Best Pizza in CT

IMO, the only use for corn meal when making pizza is perhaps to spinkle some on a stone to prevent the dough sticking. In the flour? Nfw.

And even that should be coarse ground semolina, not corn meal.

Greek pizza can still taste delicious, but it's ceiling is a "B" in my opinion. There is something magical about the thin crust New Haven style pizzas that puts them in a league that the Greek pizzas will never be in, IMO.

My wife's favorite pie is greek style, so I eat it more than I would if left to my own devices. Had one from Apollo tonight, as a matter of fact, as she was celebrating a good turn of medical events, and I wasn't going to turn off her good mood for the sake of a real pie. Not usual for there, but tonight, we got the thinnest crust I've ever had in a greek pizza place, and overall, I'd call it a strong B. Crust still too much like pastry, and the sauce still too sweet which are the things holding Greek pizza back from me ever giving it serious consideration, but overall, not a bad pizza substitute.

Traditionally, yes. However, I spent a half year doing demos of a countertop pizza appliance that had an internal stone and got to ~800F. For anything beyond a 2-minute Neopolitan style, a mix of coarse semolina and corn meal worked better than the semolina alone as it did not burn.

Good news beats whatever food you celebrate with.

I think he is earlier in this thread critiquing a pizza. Maybe in Clinton or Branford?

Anyone here have Cheshire Pizza? Greek style but just recently had it and it's incredible. Good vibe and other great food there. I like their buffalo chicken pizza. Small town though, so not sure how many people have had it, curious.

By the slice all of the time 30 years ago as it was right next door to the driver's training place my friends and I went to; but, I know it has been renovated and expanded upon since then. Some folks I know who still live there like it a lot. Thus, can't comment on how good it was as I was a teen boy playing sports and ate anything (I hit Pizza Hut a lot due to it's location, what the heck was I thinking!).

To clarify, I have no idea if the school is actually considering this. It was just twitter chatter. Is there an expiration date on Harry A’s name?
 
I've always thought we should name the court after Calhoun.

If you want to throw Geno on the other side I have no problem with that either.

Hall of Fame Court. Put Calhoun's name on one sideline and Geno's on the other in large type. Add Ray and Lobo in smaller type and every other HOF alum as the make the Naismith HOF.

Love it. Although Ray and Lobo have the hall of fame banners, which is enough by me.
