OT: Best Pizza in CT

[HuskyHawk]

Where are those from?

Trillium Brewery in Canton believe it or not.

Trillium Brewery in Canton believe it or not.

I was just there 3 weeks ago for the first time. My wife (born and raised on New Haven pizza) liked it. I thought it was just O.K.

The beer, obviously, is much better. Do they still have The Streets? Tremendous.

I like the Pizza, but as at a lot of places the cooking is variable. The pizza at Jack's Abby might be a bit better. The Streets is not available right now, they rotate and very few things are regularly available. The Mrs. picked up 5 4 packs, but some are for a friend from NJ.

My kids like the pizza at Franklin Flatbreads. Or maybe they just go there because they like getting ice cream after the pizza.

Franklin Flatbreads closed (It was also Tom Brady’s favorite ice cream place supposedly). It has been replaced by Sierra’s which moved across town, and is a “brick oven” pizza place with a bar and decent beers on tap. Trying to take advantage of the location on the pond and outdoor seating I think. Haven’t tried in the new location but those ovens should help.

Are you that close by?

20-25 minutes. Hit there when we were going by for baseball/soccer/basketball games or on the way home from the Cape or RI. My sons will be sorry to hear it closed.

Pandemic casualty. It’s a great spot so I’m actually looking forward to pizza and beer on the outside patio by the pond as it warms up. Bigger menu for your boys, even without the ice cream.

The Albuquerque place that made that pie for Walter White still gets huge numbers of orders for uncut, throwable pies.

So that Atticus pie in the post above is a Red Pie topped with Walden Hill Guanciale, Wild Ramps, Pecorino, and Remo's Calabrian Chili Crunch.

And it’s pretty freaking awesome.

Chili crunch you say?

I've got some Chinese chili crisp in my fridge, not that brand. So how is on vanilla ice cream?

I've also got a Calabrian hot sauce. Much more friendly to Italian food than Asian hot sauces.

I don’t eat ice cream , chocolate or any kind of sweet ( except occasional sour patch kids) . I just don’t like it enough to spend the calories. I eat enough as it is . If it’s between desert and an appetizer of wings or an entra couple ounces on my steak, desert loses.

Give me a cheese course over dessert 10 times out of 10.

I had to ask as it says to put it on vanilla ice cream on the label.

I have a jar of that stuff in my refrigerator. It never occurred to me to put in on ice cream. I suppose the salty sweet thing could work, but that particular combination doesn't strike me as an intuitively pleasant.

Dark chocolate would work better with that for my tastes.

When Sally’s is at their best no one can touch them. It’s that they are so inconsistent. Their plain pie is still boss no matter what kind of day they are having

I haven't had anything but good pizza from Sally's since September 2019. I think that's also when I first tried plain tomato after 40 years of never even considering it, and now love it. Adding cheese would be a clear error, though mootz & bacon always excellent.

Back on topic, Wooster St establishments are slipping.

I agree. My wife always pleaded with me to try Sally’s plain tomato pie. I politely declined. I’m not sure what made me do it, but I gave in about 4 years ago. It was a pizza revelation. Now it’s my favorite.

You want fries with that? The "PIttsburgh Steak" pizza from SOHO on the north side: Garlic sauce, roast beef, sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms and banana peppers. Topped with french fries and ranch dressing.

Although looking at your photo with the sliced hot dogs reminds me that I'm surprised ADub still hasn't bought/made himself a discada. Seems it would be right up his alley.

This chili crisp talk for me thinking of the Momofuku Ssam sauce that I used to put on pizza, and everything else. Looks to be discontinued - anyone have recs for a similar product?
