OT: Best Pizza in CT

In on this early. I think this thread could go on for years…😁

Sally's is overrated unless you get it when it's not. And sometimes the non-New Haven spots are awful. And sometimes they're very good.

Does anyone know of a good pizza place in Connecticut?

Connecticut has a bunch of Greek Style pizzas which are great.

Light, fluffy crust, tangy sauce and good cheese combo on top.

Is Connecticut pizza actually good? I know you guys are proud and grew up on it, but doesn’t seem that great. Thin and burnt is not my idea of delicious pizza.

Also, that thread was a huge waste of space, so I’m very glad it was re-ignited.

Flame away!!

Yes, then Jersey, then floppy jiloppi NY slices and a distant distant fourth is the tomato soup in a bread bowl that hails from the midwest. Nvm.. put Detroit above Chicago.

Sometimes it's overrated and sometimes it's the best in the world. Unless you go to Sally's on a bad day. But the West Hartford Pepe's is trash.
 
Nothing beats “beach” pizza.

is Utica pizza the preferred style in your neck of the woods?

What exactly is Utica pizza? I had heard there were some decent places there. My son went to college near Utica and he spent 4 years trying to find them. He couldn't find anything better than just O.K. And even the O.K. places were few and far between.
 
I've worked with a handful of people over the years who were from the area or went to school in the area. Evidently Utica pizza is a real thing (not exactly sure what it is that makes it unique).

As French is from the Buffalo area, I figured it would be a good retort to his questioning the quality of New Haven apizza.

I've never heard of Utica pizza, and I'm from the Buffalo area and we have our own style for sure but I'm sure you'd hate it! But a wing around here will do you some good.

Part of the problem is there is nothing, including pizza places, near Utica.

UTICA TOMATO PIE: IT’S NOT JUST FOR UTICANS ANY MORE

Well, the Saranac is not bad...

"The base of Utica Tomato Pie is a thick, soft, savory-cakey crust. Some compare it to focaccia. Others, to Sicilian pizza. But it bears no resemblance to the chewy, bread-like crust of a Neopolitan pizza, or the crispy cracker of a US thin-crust pizza. Tomato Pie is topped with a thick, sweet, slightly chunky, slightly acidic tomato sauce. The sauce is dusted with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a light sprinkling of dried oregano. It’s then baked in a shallow rectangular pan, cut into squares, and served at room temperature—preferably, with a pint of Saranac on the side. That’s it! No mozzarella. No pepperoni. And, definitely…no triangles!"

This sounds awful.

I’ll take greasy cup n’ char pepperoni pizza any day.

Most ethic peasant/comfort food can fall in that category.

No way. Maryland crabs, New Orleans muffelettas, San Fran cioppino, New Haven pizza, Maine lobster.

Chicken “riggies” is just chicken and pasta. Just like every other state has on every Italian menu ever.

Mystic Pizza at the bottom with only 6.2? Don't tell @Fishy, that cardboard with fake mozzarella lover.

If your senior citizen parents are visiting Connecticut, what are they gonna remember and tell their friends back home?

We had a slightly above average pizza in a Connecticut strip mall or we went to a great waterfront town in New England and do you remember that movie Mystic Pizza?! We went there!

The rest of these dolts are trying to impress people on the internet with their knowledge of mid-grade pizza places while I am trying to create a story and a lasting memory.

They're looking for good food. They're not like you who would eat sauce and American cheese on cardboard and say...
