OT: Best Pizza in CT

[rip7774]

Has anyone tried zuppardis frozen? I don’t live in Northeast but love new haven style pizza, kinda expensive but willing to try it. Seems like zuppardis really good according to this thread correct?

I moved out of CT in 91 to the midwest. I have this blurry memory of Celentano or something. Can anyone confirm?

Borax is great stuff.

Tried them a few weeks ago. We all agreed they were far from the original, and really just not worth it. I suppose if it’s a choice between zuppardis and digornios, I’d pick zuppardis, but not by much. Closest Central Market where I can get them is about 20 miles away and I don’t think it’s worth that drive.

Pricey is right. I mean... holy...

Can you imagine spending that much money...to get Chicago pizza?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I go with Paul Newman's personal pizzas. Thin crust and I think all sale proceeds go to his charity so you satisfy your hunger for food and to be philanthropic at the same time.

Circling back to this, El Presidente just did a review and he has Newman's on top of the frozen pizza rankings @ 7.4.

Yeah drunk, stoned, hungry sheltering in place with a credit card, what could go wrong? ($110 later...) hope it's truly amazing.

Deep dish is only really good at the restaurant and Pequod's pan pizza is far better than Malnati's.

OK I know this subject is taboo, but a junkie needs his fix. Its the frozen isle for me, yes I can do pickup by my scared arse wife will make it unenjoyable. So what do you eat out of desperation.

Did Digornio's peperroni thin today and it tasted like paper, spicy ketchup with cheese.

Do you all just wait it out, make your own or add a bunch of stuff to it to at least make it edible?

Heading to the grocery store this weekend so any suggestions would be great, even if i have to try a couple.

Cape Cod Pizzas. Pricey, but grillable and tasty. Barstool guy gives it 8.5 non frozen.

Alright alright had to do it. Went on line and got the Zuppardi's 6-pack of pizzas sent to the house. Not a bad deal for $74 overall by the way. I'm sure they are all of the small version but still, a bit of a treat for a western mass family during these times. Will get a score in on them after we receive and devour.

Red Baron thin crust.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I bought two Red Baron frozen pizzas tonight, per the recommendation of The Boneyard. I got a four cheese classic crust and a bacon lovers thin crust. I hope you all didn't lead me astray, because I've never known this place to be a source of misinformation or bad opinions.

"Your" Big Y doesn't have them? Ask thrrm to carry 'em. Then again, this might not be the time.

"My Big Y" did, at $7, not bad, and I've added freshly sautéed broccoli rabe to good effect.

March Madness Connecticut Pizza - Round 1

Any favorite missing?

 

[Huskybass]

Hit Pepe's in New Haven yesterday and got the Meatball and Ricotta pie, which I believe was recently added to the menu. Delicious. Other than getting it cooked a minute or so longer to improve the crisp, it was perfect. I should have asked for it crispy. Tasty as could be though.

I’ve had to throw out the last 2 pizzas I got they were that bad. George’s in Unionville was one. And people lined up at this crappy place. How hard is it to make a pizza?

 

[mauconnfan]

Follow up on the Zuppardi's 6 piece I ordered and had shipped in, 6 of them - Cheese, White with tomatoes, Sausage, Sausage/Mushroom, Pepperoni and a Bacon/Onion. Here goes:

Gave the Pepperoni and the Bacon Onion to my son. Ok last Wednesday we cooked the Cheese and the White. My wife loved the white and I liked the Cheese. I will say this, they are small but perfect size for the dinner. Only thing is they need to add more sauce as they dry easily. Also if you go with the 10-12 minutes the crust becomes too hard, not crispy but hard. Still better than the frozen grocery store brands. Then after learning to go 7-9 minutes we did the sausage and sausage shroom on Saturday after having a few outdoors at friends. Much much better the flavor was still really good, much less dry but I do believe you need it to be a little thicker too. It seems the plain cheese and white pizza were a bit too thin. Normally I like thin but when frozen and then needing to be baked at 400 or whatever it dries out too fast. The thickness of the 2 pizzas we had with toppings seemed to keep it's flavor as well as keeping the sauce alive.

Anyway I would do it again they do a nice job. We may try the Chicago style from Goldbelly's now just for the hell of it.

Interesting the Berkshire Cafe in Torrington was in the Top 16. Underrated pie for sure but changes owners too often. Back in the day the only one close to Verdolini's of Meriden (no longer with us RIP). This just an update for Deepster and AW! LOL

How have we still not gotten someone to make a spooker?!

I will pick you up in town on my way to Berkshire and we will get them to attempt to create one. Post Covid or Matunuck Pizza?

How have we still not gotten someone to make a spooker?!

Boy the looks I got at Mrs. 8893's work holiday party last year. I met a co-worker of hers from Meriden who knew the Little Rendezvous and Verdolini's history and I asked him about the spooker. You could have heard a pin drop, the room got so quiet.

Meriden guy: "The what?!?"

Me: "Um, it's a pie I heard they used to make at Verdolini's, just sauce and crushed red pepper, I think."

Mrs. 8893: "Where the hell did you hear about this?!?"

Me: "Um, some guy I know who grew up in that area."

Another guy: "DID YOU SAY 'SPOOKER'?!? Really?!? Oh my God, that's great!!!"

Me: "Yeah, that's what he said."

Mrs. 8893: "Oh God. Who is this again?"

Me: "You don't know him."

Other guy: "I want to hear more about The Spooker!!!"

Mrs. 8893: "Why do you always have to embarrass me?"

Good times...
