OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Rocktheworld]

My Italian mother and grandmother used to make fried dough which I believe we called azapes. Both have passed so I haven't had the home made ones in years. We used to eat with sugar or with my mother's delicious sauce.

Yeah my grandmother would make it and call it pizza fritte. Was delicious. My mom has no interest in cooking but my sister has the recipe and has made it a few times.

I grew up knowing it as "friddu". It was delicious. It was only a few years ago that I realized that "friddu" is an Italianized "fried dough".

You talking zeppoles?

yeah essentially the same thing despite several different names. The ones my grandma would make were smaller than your zeppole you get at the fair that are the entire plate.

Zeppoles are a different thing, this is CT style fried dough and what I think Letsgohuskies11 and HCCForever are describing...

You are correct superjohn. This is what I am referring to. My mother used to call them azapes or something similar. I cannot find that name when I google, however.

It is a fried dough. In Connecticut they put pizza sauce and parm on it. Pretty much everywhere else seems to only put powdered sugar on it which is always disappointing.

The one I am remembering is a little bit different. More like fried pizza dough.

Or it would typically be talked with cinnamon and sugar for sometimes confectioners sugar.

Similar to what I remember. Smaller than a plate and sometimes just buttered and eaten that way too. Many options.

There actually no worst than most pizza out here.
He was staying at our house and a couple of his friends stayed over. I was appalled when they all put ranch dressing ion the pizza .

I'm not judging. These days I'm loving a pie with goat cheese.

Up here in the Bristol, Burlington area, there's a bunch of locally owned Max Pizza joints. Just your standard greek style pizza and some good veal and chicken parm and grinders and such....their salad dressings are made in house and their creamy Italian has become huge! So they sell it all by itself in different size containers. People use it to dip their pizza crust pieces into.

Just his turkey.

Some pictures can make you sick, this is one. Thanks AW.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I’m spending the evening today at The Graduate in Storrs and prior to going to the Yardgoats game, we tried Blaze again, figuring it would be better on 5 pm on a Tuesday when kids are off campus versus 830 pm on a Friday filled w students.

Second try was so much better for the first. Still classified as “Subway, but for pizza” but a totally suitable quick meal.

It is weird though how there’s nowhere on campus of a large state university where you could walk in and grab a quick $2 slice.
