OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Hey Adrien!]

Picked up a pie for Magic 5 Pizza Co. last night, tried their Buffalo mozz, gorg, chive and (hold the) sweet sausage.

It wasn’t my favorite. Pretty heavy on the cheese and probably the most mushy I’ve had there.

When they’re on their game, their pizzas are excellent, but it’s almost like their quality control needs more consistency.

Anyone had good pizza in Avon area?

And don’t say Naples in Farmington. Way overrated.

Little City Pizza should get you through the night.

And in the same plaza for breakfast, Avon Country Deli.

I've had Little City crush it a few times.

Bar again, this time with my brother. Got the elote pie and sausage/pepper/ricotta pie. Amazing again.

We go to E&D in Avon, but for sandwiches and stuff, not pizzas. Harry's Bishops Corner is just on the other side of Avon Mountain Road. South of there is Pepe's in the SE corner of WeHa on New Britain Avenue. Those 3 and Naples are our local take-out places.

Had Olde World with a fellow Boneyarder on Friday. Superb as always. Thinking Roseland, Modern and Olde World are my Top 3 at this point.

WeHa is close enough to Avon to just take the extra time. It might not be New Haven, but its probably the second best pizza town in CT.

I learned this a looong time ago: never trust a round pizza.

From what I've been told they start with American cheese (which, is not cheese but a processed cheese product), season it and add (unstated) other items to give it a flavor that somewhat resembles provolone (that's where the name comes from).

It's little more than bait for a mouse trap.

Here are the details. It's pretty much cheese...mostly. I don't mind Imo's, but it's not anything but food for drunk hungry college kids, like Little Ceasars. It falls below the hand tossed Pizza Hut bar as a pie.

Provel is everywhere in the Gateway to the West. But what exactly is it?

Was discussing sgt peps the other day with some freinds, I remember it being like the best pizza ever. My question is, was this actually good or was i just drunk?

My memory (hazy ) is that they were by far the best pizza on campus. In addition, their chix parm grinder was excellent and their calzones were 30x better than DP Dough.

Pizza bro kinda panned olde world. I like your review better

He harped on the flop. The flop has no bearing on the flavor, which is always spot on.

I hope he keeps panning it… he turned Little Rendezvous in Meriden into a crap show for long time regulars. Would hate for the same fate for Olde World.

The only two things I dislike about Olde World are the hours (only lunchtime hours are on Friday) and the fact that it’s not at eat-in joint - although I’m usually looking to take a pie to Twelve Percent Beer Project anyway. I consider it the most underrated, under-hyped pizza in the state.

Pizzerias navigate buzz, backlash around Dave Portnoy’s pizza festival

Some don’t agree with the Barstool Sports founder’s statements, but they like what he does for business...​

meh. He's jumped the shark. I dont care if he loves CT Pizza or not. This guy is nuts. And not in a good way (despite he wants you to believe). And BTW his Pizza fest was a scam fest extraordinaire.

I've never liked him but shining a light on people who smear and try to destroy others they don't like under the guise of journalism is always a good thing.

I don't disagree with that at all. But I don't think it is that cut and dry any longer with him. But some media absolutely tees it up for him, no doubt. He actually is more shrewd that way than any other.

Why was he calling out Kenji at Pizza fest along with WaPo? Thin skin? He reminds me of someone. Thats all Ill say on this board.

I have no idea who J. Kenji Alt is. Looked him up, apparently J. Kenji Alt and Portnoy hate each other and have had a running feud for a while.

Kenji is pretty much the last word on doing food right. Portnoy is the last word on being Tuckers Chad bro. Do the math.

Just reading up on J. Kenji for the first time and he also seems like a tool. Social media meltdowns and threatening to ban certain people from his restaurant. He may be a good cook but so are tons of other people, it doesn't exempt him from being a tool. Portnoy is a cash cow, it doesn't exempt him from being a tool.

He certainly isn't the last word on doing food right, lolz.

Kenji has a bad case of politics brain but he is probably the best recipe author I have come across and honestly I do value his opinion over “doing food right” over probably anyone else alive.

As Pepe's and Sally's expand to Boston, apizza is getting more buzz in the area.

What is apizza? And how is it different from regular pizza?

Apizza, which is different from regular pizza, is the pie to eat in New Haven. Now, the specialty pizza is growing in the Boston area.
