OT: Best Pizza in CT

[methodology]

Ran into someone who use to work at Sally's they informed me the plain pie has a special sauce that is used on it while all the other pies use a different sauce. Makes sense now why it's so good plain. He wasn't sure what the difference was as he was never privy to that recipe

Stay away from Poppie's.

Besides that, it's in NYC and no outside dining.

I have seen office workers at the building where I used to work, do this. And, at public restrooms, I have seen this. Do they go home and hug their children and hold their wives hands and cut the vegetables and slice the bread for supper?

I hope they did not have second jobs at the local pizza place or Italian Restaurants where I ate. Or, went out and bought the donuts for the office where they worked.

If people who refuse to wear masks ,assault people who remind them of this, what would these Poppie people say if they were confronted leaving the commode and heading out the door?

I never said anything to them. Glad I did not work with them.

Has anyone ever seen this and said anything to one of them?

That could have been another Seinfeld episode where Jerry or Kramer would have confronted the Soup Nazi in the rest room. Or, George confronting Elaine because he did not hear the sink running after she left the rest room.

Maybe those overhead UV anti-viral contraptions will fix the problem and kill the germs in the room.

This may be blasphemy but last night I had the best pizza I’ve had in years at Bad Martha’s in Falmouth. It’s a brewery and beer is just ok. They use their own farm fresh tomatoes and the style is Neapolitan. They even burn the crust a little.

First chain on the block with non-traditional toppings. When they first hit it big, they were sort of the poor man's Spago (Wolfgang Puck) pizza.

Exiled??? They have some of the greatest pizza places in the world in the Burgh. Hit some of the Italian Deli's in Oakland, down on the Strip, or some of the areas outside the city. Come on Storrsroars, give the city a chance. Learn to love the Black and Gold. Swin Cash will love you for it.

I've been here almost 20 years now. You eat what you want. I'll eat what I want.

There are tons of fabulous places to eat in around here. IMO, few are Italian and of 250-300 pizza places (non-Neapolitan), I might enjoy eating at five (only Badamo is relatively close to me, I'm out of Slice's delivery range). Used to be six, but my favorite place closed due to pandemic. Mineos and Aiellos would be below average in Ffld/NH counties. Fiori's would be about average. Betos would be laughed at. Campitis would be used for skeet or disc golf.

I'll add that Pamelas has the worst coffee in America, Primantis is actually the opposite of synergy (Fathead's is infinitely better). Yinzers love big food, not delicious food (although I'll confess to having a soft spot for Big Jim's eggplant parm). The ideal of a 5-course dinner here would be stuffed banana pepper, potato pierogi, a bottle of ranch, a fish sandwich, and a smiley cookie, paired with a 2020 vintage can of IC Light Mango.

People here can't even tell the difference between yellow and "gold", lol.

Stamford? Bobby V sat with us in Stamford one night over some wings. Heard some good Red Sox stories that he told me not to tweet about.

BV had several locations at one time. The Norwalk one was on US1 somewhere between Home Deopt and where Dick's is now. Can't recall the cross street.

You heard it here first, some of the greatest pizza places in the world are in Pittsburgh. Carl Krauser approves of this message.

Corner of Connecticut and Scribner Avenues. It had been My Pi (spelled with the scientific on sign) before, passable Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Bobby's was there for 10-15 years and supposedly vacated because of insufficient parking. Big mistake. There has been a rotating cast of bar/restaurants in the spot ever since (at least 15 years), none of which have lasted very long, currently a Latin "family style" restaurant. I miss Bobby's $0.10 happy hour wings...

To be fair to steelerone, in the early 00s we actually did have two. One owner left for NJ and later started Keste in NYC, the other was among the first DOC Neapolitan places in the US. Still around but is no longer unique. And before I forget, we also now have Dinette, run by a James Beard finalist.

But I don't think those are the places he was thinking about.

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen that yet. I'm sure someone has done it.

Here's the kicker - that first photo is actually from Italian pizza place.

I don't know about the rest. I do know a couple of places that do pierogi pizza as Pittsburgh is huge with carbs inside carbs on top of carbs, but I honestly don't know anyplace that puts fries on pizza. Salads, yes.

Ha I am from CT, I go to Pitt a lot to see in-laws. Is there a better pizza in Pitt that I am not aware of? If so, I need to know asap.
