Storrs. Walking distance from South Campus. My apologies to any other Paul's for any confusion.Paul's in Storrs or Paul's in Vernon?

I lived in the hotel right there junior year (2010-2011) and I remember the crummy personal pizzas (along with wraps and such) but never calzonesThere was a spot in South Campus that was open after all the dining halls were closed , I think it closed 2006 timeframe, that made better calzones than DP Dough and you could use your meal plan. Shame it closed.
I always found Sgt. Pep's needed a little more cooking once you got it, but I thought they were the best on campus as well.
Blaze is only the correct answer when it's the only available pizza.This is lazy. I don't know what it would be in Storrs now, but Pizza Shuttle is not it for Lawrence. Maybe this is best delivery to your dorm pizza or something.
@August_West my recollection about Gumby's was that it was somewhat filling. When drunk and hungry, it did the trick. But if Storrs ever had good pizza, that's news to me.
Nothing to do with Paul’s in Storrs, but this reminds me of Paul’s Wing It on Union Place in Hartford. The best place to get food after a UConn or Whalers game for many years. A very rowdy crowd, but such a sweet reward when you got to the counter. RIP Paul’s.Storrs. Walking distance from South Campus. My apologies to any other Paul's for any confusion.
I've never been to one, but it appears Square Peg Pizza is leasing Geno's old space. Here's a copy paste with some other new restaurants.
Storrs Center at Uconn will welcome four new restaurants! The lifestyle center at UConn's flagship campus is already home to a diverse array of restaurants.
Square Peg Pizza has leased the former Geno's Grille space on Dog Lane according to leasing documents received by The Connecticut Scoop! The pizza shop has locations in Vernon, Glastonbury, Newington, Berlin, Enfield, Orange, Berlin, and Higganum. The pizza shop has more locations coming soon in Windsor and Wethersfield.
Playa Bowl is coming soon to the former 7-Eleven space on Storrs Road! The acai bowl restaurant has other locations in West Hartford, Glastonbury, Darien, Avon, and Fairfield.
Haven Hot Chicken is coming soon to the former Wing Stop location on Storrs Road! The fast-growing fast-casual eatery has other locations in New Haven, Orange, North Haven, and Norwalk.
The Place 2 Be has also announced that they are working to secure a location in Storrs. The former Grille 86 space is now lease pending! We hope this is their new location! We will update the post when their location is announced.
No timetable has been announced for these new additions.
I was going to post about this. I believe the place in South Campus was called “In The Zone”, and it did calzones and pizza after hours. Call me crazy, but freshly-made pizza in your dorm room tastes even better when it’s part of your meal plan.There was a spot in South Campus that was open after all the dining halls were closed , I think it closed 2006 timeframe, that made better calzones than DP Dough and you could use your meal plan.

That place was terrible.Wasn't there a Wooster Street Pizza place in Storrs Center at one point? I know it's not there any more. It was pretty good. Much better than anything else still around campus.
They're not bad.Pizza Mike's is the best remaining pizza in Storrs by a large margin. Quite solid. RIP Sgt Pep's, quite good for the price and availability imo. Sad they're gone
Saw this tweet and it made me think. For as proud as CT residents are of our pizza culture and culinary mastery, why do our flagship university pizza options rival something you’d find in a sadder pizza state? One of our elite Pizzerias should open a location in Storrs, it’s not like college students wouldn’t buy it.

I also a fair number of personal pizzas from Papa Gino’s when it was in the Student Union. You had to use points there, though, and not meals. The pasta with meatballs and garlic bread seemed solid at the time.
never ate it, my frat brother worked there, gotta warn ppl about the mushroom pieI used to think Sgt Pepperoni made a very respectable NY Style pizza on campus. Disappointed it closed.
This needs a solution. It’s unacceptable.There is no good pizza near UCONN. None.
I used to love the one in Cromwell. Was the one in Storrs not the same?That place was terrible.
There's a reason it didn't last.
I heard the one in Glastonbury is good. Can anyone confirm whether that's true or not?I've never been to one, but it appears Square Peg Pizza is leasing Geno's old space. Here's a copy paste with some other new restaurants.

Whoah, as someone who worked making crummy personal pizzas and wraps at south during that timeframe, I take offense.I lived in the hotel right there junior year (2010-2011) and I remember the crummy personal pizzas (along with wraps and such) but never calzones
I've never been to the one in Cromwell so I'm assuming no?I used to love the one in Cromwell. Was the one in Storrs not the same?
Depends what you mean by “near”. If you mean within a 10-15 min drive, then that’s not true.There is no good pizza near UCONN. None.
Hey you worked with what you had lol no offense directedWhoah, as someone who worked making crummy personal pizzas and wraps at south during that timeframe, I take offense.
