I heard no complaints. My sister in law gladly took the couple of leftover pieces. The classes of '89 & '90 were in the house.

Yeah they have a massive tent next to the storefront right now. I don't think it's permanent, but it's definitely a lot easier to get a seat at Sally's right now.

Speaking of outdoor space, Bufalina has added a van based bar to their patio. Hours are still pretty tight (Thu-Sat 4-8), but it's a lot easier to get a reservation than to get a takeout slot, and the bar adds a lot to the experience. View attachment 67918

-> It’s official: Sally’s Apizza, an internationally-renowned Wooster Street destination, will expand beyond New Haven. The new restaurant will open in Stamford, later this summer at 66 Summer Street.

The 4,000 square foot Stamford location features a mezzanine and outdoor patio, a dedicated fulfillment area for takeout and delivery, and a full bar, with craft beer and cocktails. Decor will highlight art and memorabilia nodding to Sally’s history as a favorite stop among musical artists, like Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones.<-

Had a margherita and white clam at Pepis Fairfield the other day meeting my son out out of the city. I do not understand the hoopla. Very slim on the toppings, burnt crust. What’s to like?

Well, on behalf of those of us living in Stamford that grew up on this crap, that certainly sucks. Hopefully they get drowned out by the alternatives.

The well done crust and undercarriage is obviously part of what's to like, that's how pizza is supposed to be made. The locations outside of New Haven aren't even close to as good and the Fairfield location was the worst one I've been to.

Lol burnt crust

it’s not burnt it’s charred and that’s the correct way a pie should come

I mean just having a change of pace option on "what tonight? Colony, or Sally's"? astronomically ups Stamford's pizza game. They are both great, but different enough that having an alternate option depending on mood makes you better than 99% of America.

Who said it;s supposed to be made that way? Is it chiseled on stone tablets somewhere? I like a crust well done but no burnt flavor. Sometimes these things can be too thin and burn easily.

We said so.

Apparently you're thin.

My kids agree with you.

Over hyped, over cooked, and way over priced. Pepe’s hasn’t baked a good pie in 20 years. It’s sad because 40 years ago it was the best.

Over cooked he says, what a load of nonsense. Pepe's on Wooster still makes excellent pies.

If the cost of living in Stamford is any indication on Sally’s venture there, expect a $40 pie.

It sucks, compared to what it was 40 years ago. I think the grandson that runs the Pepe’s franchise now, spends more time showing off his classic car collection than running the business. His grandfather never burned the crust like that, he was a bread maker. A tiny bit of charring on the crust is fine but nowadays the charring is way overdone. If you want to fill your mouth with black soot be my guest. They skimp on the sausage too at Pepe’s. If I want a good New Haven pie I’ll call Modern or Zuppardis.

I guess you completely missed that Gary Bimonte passed away a few months ago…
