OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Zissou]

It was different, but I’m not going to lie - I liked it. It’s Sparrow Pizza Bar. The Sparrow thing is “drips and drizzles”. It blows up the comparison to others, but why not try it the way they recommend it, it’s their thing.

So what did they drip on the pizza? Truffle oil? No, a hot honey sauce.

Definitely different. Not purist, but I did enjoy it with a beer. I’d do it again. Crust was good.

I was going to try Naples in Farmington but I did not get there. Did I miss out?

 

[WestHartHusk]

I like Naples. Wouldn’t go out of my way, but when I’m in the area it’s my go-to. They sell Foxin Park too, and I’m convinced Foxon Park taste-tests pizza before they let their product be sold at an establishment.

I had FP Birch with my Fairfield Pepe’s. Taking in as much as possible on this trip.

I was gonna ask, what’s up with this trip? If you’re going through/near Cheshire you should definitely get Fuoco

Thanks. Schedule didn’t allow Cheshire this time.

Looks like a Colony pie someone left out in the rain.

And I don't think that I can take it. Because it took so long to bake it. And I'll never have that recipe. AGAIN!

I didn't think you were old enough to have that pop up as a reference!

Harry’s Bishop Corner?

Definitely doesn't look like Harry's . I'll say Sparrow as my guess.

Not CT... but potentially earth-shattering news from the pizza world.

Crossed the border into NY to attend a bottle share at Marlowe Ales in Mamaroneck last night. Finished the night a few blocks away at Sal’s. Hadn’t been there in at least a decade. Still the best Sicilian slice in Westchester/Fairfield counties, and a regular slice is as dependable and delicious as I remembered.

Its based on google reviews. So that means that the folks in Tulsa like their pizza. Good for them.

“To each his suff'rings: all are men,
Condemn'd alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
Th' unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.”

Pittsburgh didn't make the list, so they at least got one thing right.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Anyone gone to a Bruins/Celtics game and gets bit to eat at the food hall at the stadium? There’s a place called Apizza that apparently does NH and Roman style. Very good Yelp reviews, including a couple from people who seem to have experience with NH style; one even includes their relative didapppintment with the Pepe’s location up here in the Boston area. Looks more like NY style per the pictures I can see

But, it's a "study".

Best pizza in Boston is...?

I like Naples. Wouldn’t go out of my way, but when I’m in the area it’s my go-to. They sell Foxin Park too, and I’m convinced Foxon Park taste-tests pizza before they let their product be sold at an establishment.

When I was a little kid my grandmother made sure to always have a case of the assorted 12oz Foxon Park bottles on hand for when I spent time at their house. That plus her fried dough and homemade sauce with some grated Parmesan on top made me a happy 8 year old on many winter days (with my ColecoVision in tow).

She bought the dough at Tolli’s in East Haven, back when it was under original management.

Best pizza in Boston is...?

Great question. Original places and not Pepe's or Sally's up here? Probably Pizzeria Regina in the North End. Not the other Pizzeria Regina locations.

Best pizza in Boston is...?

here are some replies I got when I asked.

Give Da Laposta in Newton a try . Pizza is great and so is the rest of the food. The owner is a Berlin native that’s been in the pizza business his entire life . He trained both here and in Italy.

Picco in the South End is good.

If you're willing to go out to Newton there are a couple good options. Max and Leo's in Newton Corner is good. There's one next to Fenway Park too but I've never had pizza at that one so I don't know if it's as good.

There are a couple pizza guys in my office and they both said I have to try Jinny's in Newton Center. Haven't been there yet so can't tell you what it's like.

I can also endorse Regina. Went to Santarpio’s in East Boston (a commonly referred place) like 10 years ago and remember it just being fine. Since I’ve been back I’ve mainly had more artisanal stuff like Si Cara by MIT and Source at Harvard, both good for what they are.

I just moved back after 8ish years and I’ve looking at Yelp; these places looks solid

Annie’s in Medford

Brewers fork in Charlestown

Joe’s in Harvard
Stoked in Harvard
Pinocchio in Harvard.

Area Four in east Cambridge
Sulmona in east Cambridge
Cambridge pizzeria

Rina’s in the north end looks like it could be called Apizza
Galleria Umberto in north end

Florina in beacon hill

Lily’s in financial district

Union park in Back bay

Alfredo’s in southie
Boardwalk in southie
Broadways best in southie
