A few reviewers say he is an animal lover and donates proceeds to a local animal shelter. I guess that means the pizza is good too?

Just came across this. Have not been to any. Those Manchester spots didn't exist in my day. We did like Shakey's in Rockville/Vernon when I was a kid.

I can 2nd Oakland Pizza. They are putting out a nice pie. Good meatball app, as well.

If I still lived in Stamford, I'd be raising holy hell with the morons responsible for this list. Stamford gets one mention and it's freaking Hope Pizza's soggy Greek monstrosites?

Hope Street pizza remains a thing only for those who appreciate that crappy style. There are no above-average or underrated regular pies among the dozens of spots in this city. The bar pie will rule until Sally’s opens its doors this spring. The only underrated pizza for the last 40 years is the Sicilian pie at Mario the Baker on High Ridge.

I guess you never got to Amore in Springdale when the former owner had it. I haven't been since its reincarnation, but it was right down the street from where I grew up and IMO was the best Stamford had to offer in the 80s/90s before the wood fired ovens came to town. If I wasn't having Colony, I was having Amore. These guys knew about it.

He's literally eaten at a thousand spots. You just named like 6.

Jimmies in West Hartford

My favorites outside the New Haven area would be Sassano in south Glastonbury, Rossini's in East Hampton, and Brick and Basil (actually a pizza truck) in Norwich

I've been to about half of the places on that list. Some are great, some shouldn't be in the Top 16. I will say that Little City was amazing when it was in Simsbury, and that Naples is really good for the Hartford area.

I recently had Domenick & Pia in Waterbury. It was superb. Easy to see why it's busy all day long.

Had it many times growing up. Born here in 1970. But I never found it outstanding or underrated. A step above John the Baker, Luigi’s or Pellicci’s.

I’ve been to 11 of the 16 on the list. Agree, some great, some shouldn’t be on the list—but good enough that on a given day I could see someone getting an excellent pie. Bobby’s in North Branford—an @August_West fave—is in that category.

Definitely not a bad pie among them, which is really the bigger story about Connecticut imo, i.e., there is never a reason to settle for crap pizza.

Where was Shakey's located? Unfamiliar with that name.

You mean other than as Neil Young’ s nickname?

So, I have a really great pizza place, a really good pizza place and a meh pizza place in a 3-4 mile space.

Really great = 25% of the time
Really good = 50% of the time
Meh = 25% of the time

And that's pure laziness. The Good/Meh spots are on my "regular route" and maybe 5 minutes easier on a normal weekday. And reading what I wrote has me really second guessing that whole situation.
