We probably need a separate Portnoy thread, but I've compared him to this generation's Howard Stern. If you recall, Stern was the "King of All Media" with a movie, books, radio, TV exposure. Came up from a local DJ to a national media presence that influenced buyers of all types.

Portnoy started out similarly with a newsletter, then a small website and now spreads his reach across every social media avenue. He assembles "wack packers" and a team with Frank the Tank and all of his podcast roster. When he promotes High Noon, Pink Whitney and any merchandise, it sells. He's got the same knack of people listening to them because they love him AND listening to him because they hate him.

I’ll take Zuppardis or Modern over Sally’s any day. Not the same since Consiglio’s sold it, except for the price.
I think when Sally's is on they put out the best pie, but Modern and Zupps are more consistent.

Like them all but Zupps is last of the 4 for me, too inconsistent on the crust.

Had a mozzy pie (bad start there because I ordered a tomato pie) from Pepe’s Manchester last weekend which is usually solid. It wasn’t very good for them. Large chewy crust which is highly unusual plus overall thick for a Pepes pie.

I’ll take Modern 1st, then Zuppardis, then Sally’s, then Pepe’s. If it’s a clam pie or sausage pie, I’d take Zupp’s first. Pepe’s in Danbury is ok, but very inconsistent, have had great pies there some nights and other times it was awful. There’s something about the mushrooms that Zuppardis puts on their pies, definitely a cut above other places.

I’m gonna keep posting Fuoco until it gets the recognition it really deserves

It belongs in the debate

Fuoco is borderline top 10 in CT, and that's a great thing. It just means that we have literally a dozen or so great options.

I’m gonna start asking (not necessarily you)

Name the places that are better

Is the list more than 4

I get it Modern and Zup may be better. I’ve seen Buffalina too and I plan on going. But how big is the list that’s better than Fuoco

Olde World, Modern, Zuppardi's, Roseland, Grand (Guilford)...there's 5 right there.

How long had Grand been in Guilford?

Grand Apizza has been in Guilford for at least a few years now. Mike runs the one in Clinton and his sons, I believe, now run the Madison and Guilford locations. Grand Apizza has always been a great place even the brothers location in North Haven is good.

I love the North Haven pizza. I kind of zone out on that stretch of Rt 1 in Guilford.

Too close for me to choose and of course its your own preference but the Big 3 in New Haven Sally's, Pepe's and Modern are the best but if I'm pressed to decide I will go with Pepe's but its close

There’s a new place in downtown Willimantic called Trigo. Only been once so far but the pizza was exceptional. Wood fired ovens, thin crust and some interesting pies.

I'm going to throw out few more North Haven pizza places, if you haven't tried them yet. Mangia Apizza. Barstool scored it a bit too high for my taste but a good pizza. Inferno Apizza (in the Universal Dr plaza back of McD's and same side as Home Depot) I find this pizza to be good as well...by the way I only order "Muzz" so I can get a good idea from each place. Last weekend I tried Abate's Apizza on State St (just opened new location while Wooster St place is rebuilt from a fire). I have to say whatever they sprinkled on top (an Oregano mix of herbs) of the Pizza before it goes in the oven was just too much for my taste, there was an herb on it that just made the pizza taste of the herbs, I want to taste crust, sauce and the muzz primarily. If I go back to Abate's I will ask them no herb sprinkle and try again.
