OT: Best Pizza in CT

[UCMB88]

Once or twice a year I'm really in the mood for Greek style pizza. Any favorites?

Central Pizza in Berlin. Jason's been running the place for over 50 years.

How in the hell is San Diego in the top 5 lmaooo

Tribute in North Park is one of the best places in the country but that alone doesn’t put SD top 5. I spent all 7 of my years there looking for pizza that stacks up, and there are only a few

The best pizza in SD is New Haven. Basic and URBN

Jordan’s pizza in Norwalk used to be great. Haven’t been in years though.

Still solid...and that salad dressing!

Lmao no. Basic and URBN are the same people, and it’s fine pizza. But it’s not the best in SD. I’m not even sure to what degree aficionados would say it executes Apizza well. I had it a few times when I lived there but had never had NH Apizza to know what Apizza should be like

Sally’s went downhill when they sold. The original in New Haven is not as good as before and the one in Fairfield is inedible.

I guess that was my point, I was agreeing with you that SD pizza is not anywhere near that list. The best attempts at pizza are the minor league versions of NH. Some decent Neapolitan spots in North Park like you mentioned, but nothing to write home about.

Poor renditions of NH pizza are not better than the best SD has to offer. You simply haven’t been around enough if you believe that, and if North Park is all you can reference. You have Tribute, Regents, Mom’s, Best, Blind Lady, Sisters, Buona Forchetta, Bronx, Luigi, Angry Pete’s, Bongiorno’s… all places among several others I can’t remember off the top of my head I would get multiple times before I get URBN

But then again I don’t have a NH pizza fetish

Maybe they're inconsistent, but last 2 times I went (Nov and Dec) it was just like the old days.

I even saw Rey in there one of those times.

It's the same guy who has been making pizza there for over 30 years.

My brother went to Sally’s this weekend and said it was still outstanding.

I've been there (Wooster St Sally's) about a half dozen times since ownership changed and haven't seen any change. For the record, I live in Stamford and will only go to New Haven for Sally's. The pizza in Stamford was fine but I couldn't stand the atmosphere. If I want Sally's it's worth the 40 minute drive.

I went twice to the original since the new ownership and it wasn't even close to what it was back in the day. I'm back in CT so infrequently that I'll never get pizza from them again.

New England Pizza Restaurant in Vernon does a nice job.

 

[DemonDeac22]

Modern Apizza is my personal favorite in NH and has done it right by not expanding. They are a true original.

Well if he's like you then I wouldn't trust that review. You'd eat cardboard and tell us all it was fine as sustenance.

 

[Magic32]

I've heard something similar... I think it was something with the ovens or something. I heard a rumor that it's straight-up not going to open. This is all 2nd, 3rd-hand mind you.

They was just a news piece about the upcoming openings and the Wethersfield one is now listed as this summer.

Felt like they were better before they switched to the conveyor belt oven. I like well done and they don’t seem to be able to get it right now.

Disagree on the one in Fairfield (and Stamford). Haven’t eaten in New Haven in decades, but I think the offshoots are fine (although not as good as what I remember in New Haven from the 80s and 90s).

Central Pizza in Berlin. Jason's been running the place for over 50 years.

I second this one as well.

 

[speckle]

What I would do to get any one of these places to expand to Seattle. Serious pizza desert out hear, forget apizza. Somebody could make a killing. No legit subs either

Benchmarking…. Not in CT. Buffalo mozzarella, spicy salami, and red onion.

Always thought this thread more or less handled wood-fired Neapolitan as a separate thing. It's pretty much the one major pizza style where CT does not dominate.

That said, looks fantastic.
