OT: Best Pizza in CT

[superjohn]

Not in Ct. but I had Italian Store in Arlington last night. They are so generous with their cheese which is great flavored too. That’s make or break and where so many places fail, scrimping on the cheese. Wish we had one in Ct.

A CT. person hyping up Virginia pizza. Lolz.

Gotta say, I don't think I've ever had a pizza where I felt they scrimped on the cheese; at Modern I usually request light mozz because I find them a touch heavy, which can result in too much flop.

Yeah because pizza grows on trees different in CT

So nobody from SD can hype a single taco spot outside SoCal I guess?

Have not been, but I do like the look of the photos online. Sourdough crust -- so Da Legna is a good approximate in New Haven.

Currently at Molto in Fairfield pizza rocks

I almost always order light cheese and well done, not necessary at Sally's.

I'll need to spend the day in Mystic, morning or lunch at Sift followed by Nana's.

What Goes Best With A Pastrami Sandwich?

Pastrami can be used in a number of ways. However, the most popular way of using pastrami slices is making delicious sandwiches. But what goes best inside a pastrami sandwich?

Can You Put Mayo on Pastrami?​

Mayonnaise is one of the most used condiments in pastrami sandwiches. It may be spread on the slices of bread to bring an additional layer of taste as well as to hold the fillings of the sandwich together.

When putting mayonnaise in your pastrami sandwich, keep in mind that it can make the bread soggy.To avoid this problem, you can toast the bread a little bit before coating it with mayonnaise.

When putting mayonnaise on pastrami, make sure it is not a store-bought condiment that will deteriorate the quality of the sandwich and make it taste ‘cheap’. Buy either a good-quality mayonnaise or make some yourself.

This is a good quality Mayonnaise. I use the Lemon Aioli on my fish and it tastes a lot better than tartar sauce.
I rarely eat pastrami, but I would think any one of the 3 items would be good on the sandwich.

I've never given a second's thought about putting mayo on a pastrami sandwich until just now. I wouldn't do it, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest it might be better than honey mustard. Honey mustard has fewer uses than even ketchup. Meaning none.

I’m having a hard time comprehending this. These can’t be options for human beings.

Zuppardi's frozen pies are pretty tasty. The Breville cooks them up nicely. I have not had a fresh one, tho.

A guy in my dorm Stowe C did. On white bread. Funny thing, I think he was from Brooklyn, CT, which explains everything

Inexcusable.

Made an impromptu stop at Sasso’s Coal Fired in Torrington on the way home from the Berkshires this evening. Color me impressed. Plain pie with mootz was solid. Crust was impressive. The surprise of the evening was a mootz white pie with fresh tomato and garlic. I’d stop there again if I was heading up/down Route 8.

From a different vantage point, I am most confident in introducing visiting children and people who don't really like "New Haven style" pizza to Ernie's. Such people have universally loved it. Ernie's is superior comfort food, and gives me firm standing to diss bready-cheesy pizza almost everywhere else it is served. I'm further grateful that I can walk there.

A decent pastrami provides its own flavorful, moistening condiment in the form of fat.

Cholesterol fears put a big dent into what had ritually been the binary "Lean or juicy?" choice at the counter where you shmeared the guy who took your order and cut a sample clump for you to enjoy while he constructed your sandwich at Katz's in NYC. No single sandwich ever clogged an artery, so there's no reason not to enjoy pastrami as was divinely intended.
