OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Hey Adrien!]

has anyone been to the new Sally's in Stamford yet?

Has anyone been to Sallys in Stamford yet? Apologies if it was brought up already.. The lines to get in are absurd so I'm hoping it is just as good as New Haven's so its worth the wait OR it's not as good and I can just hit up Colony.

Picked up a pie today.

It's "very good" and if you live in or near Stamford, give it a try. It's not comparable to the New Haven location but based on the high end bar vibe of the place, I don't think they are trying to be the New Haven location, which is totally fine by me.

It's a cool addition to the downtown Stamford scene, but there are a lot of good pizza places in Stamford that can compete against the Stamford Sally's.

I've got money on Pepe's in New Haven but what do you all think?

A former neighbor who was born and raised in New Haven introduced me to Pepe’s . We used to get together with our families several times a year on a Friday and make the 25 mile trip to New Haven. Sometimes him and I would drive down and bring a Pepe’s back up but reheated is not the same. Pepe’s is IMO hands down is the best pizza anywhere. My neighbor retired and moved to God forsaken Texas and soon after died from lack of any pizza fit for human consumption.

Now I’m glad you all love this but look at the picture. First off there’s not a lot of cheese on it and what’s there is burnt. That sucker is also burnt on top and it means the bottom is too. No, no no, I’m not buying burnt charcoal pizza. But each to their own.

The pizza pie ain't the issue over here,he used him and I together in a sentence!,this needs to be investigated, it's very alarming

 

[Kajik]

That pie does look a little burnt though,I woulda sent it back

First time I tried Sally’s Stamford, I posted a photo here of the plain sauce pie, and it was magnificent. We ordered a fresh tomato white pie and a plain pie with mootz last week. When I returned home and opened the box, I noticed the burned spots on the mootz pie. Beyond char. I’m not sure how proficient the Stamford bakers are. I’m going for a “medium bake” moving forward. Still, best pizza in Stamford.

When Pepes in Fairfield opened, it took a couple of years for them to be consistent. I asked Bill at Modern, he said those types of ovens can actually take that long to season properly.

Since the day they opened their doors, the two must-have items there have been the mashed potato and bacon pie and the salad.

My favorite pie in NH! With a close second going to Modern.

I’d take Modern or Zuppardis over Pepe’s any day. Pepe’s was great 30 years ago, not so great nowadays, and the satellite places in Danbury and Fairfield are worse. They slice their sausage thin to save money, don’t have the big sausage chunks like they do at Zupps or Modern. Pepe’s is ok, but for the money you pay I’ll pass nowadays. The Spot had the best pie 30 years ago imho.

My last time at Pepe’s was 25 years ago about when my New Haven neighbor retired and moved away. He said pizza really stunk in Texas.

So do you have nothing to add to the topic we are discussing or are you just bored? We will all be bored tomorrow night since the powers at be have canceled the game with Xavier.

A Mystic bakery and pizzeria is one of the best new restaurants in America, according to...

www.ctinsider.com

I have not been there yet. Williams Ave. is Rte 1 on the Stonington side. Nana's is behind The Sea Swirl. Same folks who own Oyster Club

ok, first time ever for me to plan a visit to a rest rec here. they never register for me unless the place location is somehow a cool visit.
and not for the za on this one, either. that pic of their bread looked outstanding, so that's my agenda. picnic lunch out at the end of mason's should do the trick.
ur dangerously close to having ur 'farmers card' pulled with talk like this tho,
'Nana's fried-to-order sourdough doughnuts, in flavors like cinnamon sugar, cardamom espresso and savory cacio e pepe, taste like melting cumulus clouds,"
me, and everrone else that i've ever met, have never wondered what 'melting cumulus clouds' taste like. is it different than melting cumulo-nimbus ones? cirrus? nimbo-stratus? how aboot contrails? what do they taste like? lol.

Has anyone tried the pizza from Atticus Market in New Haven? They don’t make pizza every day and I think they only sell 50 pies when they do. An acquaintance told me he had a spectacular pie from Atticus. Lots of chatter in CT pizza circles about them. I pulled this pic from their website….

Not yet. Tonight was gonna be the night, but I never made it into New Haven today due to the snow.

Yeah I've been meaning to, but with the holidays and covid and snow there have been a lot of factors keeping me out of the office recently. Hope to make it soon though, definitely promising!

I didn't even realize there's a place like old Stonington until a friend bought a house there. Connecticut has some unreal places. Until we stayed with them last summer, I didn't even imagine such a place even existed. Has anyone else been out of the loop until recently on the fishing village there?

It's a great town, I tell everyone out of state to visit it.

Just this Christmas when we were all back visiting CT. from the states we currently live in part of our group was going to visit Mystic and knew nothing about Stonington.

Dude! Can I have what ever you took when you wrote your post? Lol! But that bread man.... how can you cut into something like that. A work of art and I'm quite sure it's taaaasty..

Westerly is also worth a walk about. Wilcox Park I beileve was designed by Olmsted.

Spiff has got the good stuff for sure enjoy.

Finally got a break in the rain here in Brookings Oregon so got a chance to fire up my Ooni Koda 16. Interesting fact, semolina will catch fire if used to help slide the crust off the peel. Pretty pleased for my first try.

Nice cups on the pepperoni.

Thanks, the cups were something I never got making the pies in the stove oven.
