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.”

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.

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.
 
I live in Manchester and didn’t know Joey garlics was here
Not a fan of randys

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.

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.
