OT: Best Pizza in CT

Article in the Norwalk Hour yesterday says Sallys at SoNo Collection is "upcoming.."

Not sure if I should believe our notoriously unreliable media outlets in SW CT... or Sally’s LinkedIn page (an unexpected find) that mentions Stamford opening soon...

we had apizza grande, rts 80/145 junction, yesterday for the game, a handful of times so far.
i first liked them simply due to the giant size and reasonable price. consistent, tho the sauce is not the same as mikey nuzz's, but pretty darn good anyway, same for the dough. our big city pals were visiting, and one noted, as a frequent guest and in her words, 'with Winthrop/Centerbrook at the center, there is a ridiculous amount of great pizza within a few miles in any direction.' she also likes to say 'there are more pizza places around here than people! bizarre!'
if you do order 'the special' there, as i do almost always, everywhere, ask for extra bake. it's the yin to the yang of it's size and weight. tasty value.
 
Any recommendations in or near Southbury, CT?

Spending a night there in two weeks and willing to go to Waterbury or a ~15 minute radius.

There is a Pepe’s in Waterbury now. I haven’t been there but I’d expect it to be good.

I believe @superjohn and others have spoken highly of Domenick & Pia in Waterbury too.

Depending on where you are, Roseland in Derby may be within your range.

Domenick & Pia's is a city slice joint so you only want to stop in there for a few slices for lunch. Not sure he'll want to go into Waterbury. This past summer I drove around, downtown is all vacant and the streets up the hill are the worst I've probably ever seen them.

Marco’s is solid. @David 76 turned me on to them and I have been back a couple times since. Not as good as the holy trinity of New Haven or the best of the rest like Grand, Zupp’s, Olde World, etc., but solidly in the next level after that imo.

I haven't been in almost a year. But they did thin crust really well.

Pepe's in Waterbury is good, stopped there for a pie coming back from New Hampshire once. Easy one and off I-84, too. That said, given a choice between a 'chain' Pepe's and Roseland, I would take Roseland.

No idea what to think regarding the Norwalk potential location. Every article regarding Sallys that i've seen has been from late 2019/early 2020... its now a full year+ since and still no update on Sallys in Norwalk. Since then, 66 Summer St in Stamford has been picking up steam as the new location in Stamford. Not sure why theres so much secrecy.. just wanna know when I can be getting some Sallys in Southern CT.

As much as I love pizza, is this really necessary? How does this generate revenue or reduce expenditures for the state?

New Haven legislators propose bill to make pizza the official state food of Connecticut

It’s an idea that seems long overdue, but Connecticut’s famous pizzerias may get finally some official recognition from the state in 2021. Two New Haven legislators — Rep. Patrici…

If we can get a special license plate commemorating this I am all for it.

I was thinking something like Utah’s “Greatest Snow on Earth” license plates with the skier on them, except have a slice and “Greatest Apizza on Earth.”

The one time I got pizza from Marco's, the box mentioned another location in Derby, which I subsequently tried. Both were good, as described above.

I mention the Derby location because I'm thinking that the space where Marco's was located is now occupied by Tipsy Tomato, which has been lauded by @Huskybass for its stuffed shrimp pie.

I have no idea if there is any connection between Marco's and Tipsy Tomato, and hadn't initially registered any familiarity with the interior when I got a pretty good pie in September.

My recollection of Marco's in Derby was more takeout, whereas Tipsy Tomato, even during the pandemic, had more of a food, drink, gathering spot vibe.

The location, btw, is in the far corner of the shopping center with Big Y, just over the border from Orange on Rt 34.

The "Pizza Gavones" gave the Tipsy Tomato Stuffed Shrimp an award for Best Specialty Pie or something like that. It was quite good the one time I had it. Still thinking about a pie I had from Olde World a month ago, it was that good.

Particularly when I'm passing by either north or south the Wilbur Cross, Olde World works as a "poor man's Modern," and my last two from Olde World were better than my last two from Modern.
 
The Pizza Gavones just reviewed
Frisco's Pizza
in New Haven. "Pie's were amazin... New Haven Style Apizza, 100%. Crust was one of the best we've had!"

Any been there? Forbes Avenue in the Annex.
