OT: Best Pizza in CT

I Bleed Blue said:
My friend wanted to do a blind CT Pizza contest for his 30th. We had 11 cheese pies from our favorites spots (mostly Central CT) and voted on best crust, best cheese and sauce, and best overall.

Of the top of my head we had Modern (my contribution), Mondo’s, Illianos, Little Rendevous, Michael Angelos, Luna’s, a couple Greek pies, and a couple from places I don’t remember.

Michael Angelos won best overall and best cheese and sauce which shocked a bunch of us. Modern was second. Fun experiment!

I love this. That must have been a lot of fun. I am a huge Modern fan. It drives me crazy when people who eat New Haven Pizza will state something like, "I love Sally's. Pepe's is garbage." I know taste is subjective but truthfully, Modern, Sally's, Pepe's, Mondo's etc are all friggin delicious. You might have a preference based on your experience but you give me any of those Pizzas and I am a very happy man.

According to Santa, "There are about 30 Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original, but the real one is on 11th."

The original is on Prince street in Little Italy. My brother lived right next to it and we used to go all the time for slices.

You're doubting Santa!?!?!?

(BTW, I know, but the Elf reference doesn't play with the actual location, Killjoy. ;))

I'm not really sure why that drives you crazyz. Yes, they are all decent but I have been to one of these places trying to relive the good old days 4x in the last year, and it's been rather bland and disappointing.

Are we not supposed to say that?

I do agree though that everyone has different preferences and it's pretty subjective.

If I could make a Pepe's pizza like they used to do it in 1985 and reproduce that exact pizza in the city where I live (Buffalo) I'd be lucky to have a few customers a day. Mostly I'd have an avalanche of complaints that I was ripping off customers by not putting on enough cheese, not enough toppings, too thin crust, and the sauce isn't very sweet at all!

Yeah because people in Buffalo think Domino's is great pizza.

Nope... they would hate Domin0's up here, which is why I've never seen one up here.

Thick bread, lots of meat toppings (Buffalo is probably the originator of cup-char pepperoni), sweet sauce, a thick carpet of cheese, calorie filler.

In other words, the opposite of Domino's.

You just described gross sweet sauce pizza.

In other words, Domino's.
 
upstater said:
Well, except for the thinness and the lack of cheese. All I'm saying is they hate Domino's up here because it's not substantial
Expand ...
Yeah, definitely not Dominos. I'd refer to it as goopy and gloppy. Definitely cheese first and bready. Hard to eat a slice by hand without losing some until it cools and congeals.

Is that michael angelos on route 34? If so one of my favorites
 
@CTBasketball started this glorious thread and then a mod merged it with a similar thread on the women’s board and usurped all his due glory.

I for one would like to petition for the reinstatement of CT as the rightful lord of the pizza thread.

It’s only right .

I should have been slapped for starting and OT thread mid-season (Jan 5, 2013), but it was a day or so removed from UConn losing to Marquette on the road because the officials had the teams go the wrong way off the tip in OT and erased UConn’s 2-0 lead, in a pointless season might I add.

I needed pizza more than it needed me.

If that's how it started I'm surprised this isn't a vodka thread.

Back in those days a young CTBasketball was probably drinking Sailor Jerry, Hams, or Rolling Rock.

People in college looked at me crazy for drinking Rolling Rock but they knew nothing about mojo.

A young KryHavok drank Piels, which really sucked (but wasn't as bad as whatever that p!$$water bars around SCSU served), and he never found issue drinking Rolling Rock that went down much easier.
