This place has great pizza. I was a regular at TND years ago when I lived in Fairfield. Moved up to Litchfield 10 years ago. I still pickup one now and then but mostly now I make my own, that is when my wife lets me take over the kitchen. Lol

As someone who works in Fairfield, the pizza game is very weak there. Nauti Dolphin is meh, Luigi's is solid, Sally's was terrible, Planet Pizza is bad, Pepe's can be great or awful depending on the day.
Testo's Pizza, formerly Three Corner is legit.

Went to Sally's after the UConn women's game in New Haven. A Uconn friend who now lives in SLC and his gf were visiting and they wanted to go so we waited an hour to get in. Got a small clam pie, the white potato pie with bacon and a tomato and mozzarella with sausage. Thought they were good, nothing blew me away. I like Modern's take on the clam pizza with hot peppers and bacon although I could have probably just asked for it. Thought the service was pretty mediocre. So many good pizza places in the area that it's hard to justify waiting in line for that long but it seemed like Pepe's just down the road also had a decent line to get in around 4pm.

i noticed that, down the street, the capitol avenue brick oven place has changed names, and assumedly, owner.
have you tried it since? any reviews?
tho al is technically in fairdale, that Bridgeport neighborhood/intersection is a fascinating microhood. ya got tree corner, the lotto boys store, the jets barber, subway, the kung place, and the new packy, making that area a beehive of activity every single weekday afternoon.
Haven't tried the former Brick Oven. You're either a Three Corner guy or a Brick Oven guy....
Regarding the neighborhood, the takeout Chinese place up Wood Ave a couple blocks is excellent.

i think that when a new Bridgeport police officer signs the first contract, they are surprised to read the section stating 'all your lunches must be purchased at that chinese restaurant.' lol. that place is famous.
im friendly with the nice lady who has the jamaican place across the street. also popular with fans of jerk chicken.
'chicken de china, the chinese chicken, have a drumstick and ur brain stops ticking....'
not me, chinese, jamaican, or otherwise. pretty funny to learn that the one chinese chicken dish i sometimes like, general tsao's, was arguably invented here in the US. fortune cookies, too. SF and LA are still arguing aboot who had it first.

Just had some pizza at the Aqua Turf yesterday at a school event. Was damn good. Thin crust, crunchy, a bit tough and non-gooey cheese. Just the way I like it. Should’ve asked if they made the pizza in-house or had it delivered.
Love jerk chicken; I will have to try that place. I drive by it all the time. There's hundreds of Jamaican joints in Bpt, so hard to know which ones to try.

“Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has added some heat to its menu, featuring a limited-time chicken diavolo pizza through March 26.
The new pizza features oven-roasted chicken coated in hot sauce, white onions and Gorgonzola cheese, along with mozzarella, Pecorino Romano and a drizzle of olive oil”

I never thought I'd live to see the day that Pepe's serves up a Buffalo Chicken pizza and tries to pass it off as fancy.
Also 100% agreed, the pizza thread needs @8893

It likely came from the Back Nine at Southington Country Club. Same family.

That sounds like a dumpy dive bar or a script club name. Especially if it's in Springfield right off the interstate.

I’m with @temery on Red Rose in Springfield. Some words of caution: their crust is thick, especially around the edges and a large is usually grid cut (a small is the size of a large down here in CT). But their sauce is magnificent and the place has serious character.
Option 2 is Antonio’s in Amherst. Solid college town pies. My go-to in grad school.
Option 3 is to stop off at Treehouse in South Deerfield, immediately off of 91, where you can pick up some hazies and grab one of their fairly tasty pies.

Still in Charlton, but now with THREE satellite locations. South Deerfield is the largest of those three.

And that joke works with red sauce or white sauce pie.

Capped off a wonderful post-game walk around Calf Pasture Beach and brought home some pies from Magic 5 Pizza Co. in East Norwalk.
My pick was their Fig Jam pie: goat cheese, tomato sauce, fig jam, caramelized onions and arugula (I passed on the bacon). Lovely choice: the jam wasn't too sweet and paired nicely w/ a red blend, nice poofiness of the goat cheese and little bit of saltiness while the arugula added brightness and bitterness.
Overall, super balanced and will replay. It's within my top-3 of their pies along with their Margarita and their clam pie.
