I don't know. I feel like we're just demanding perfection every single time. We're so programmed to full immediate satisfaction now, there's no room for any slippage.

I would bet if you could take an average West Hartford Pepe's pie from today and time travel back to feed it to a family in 1995, they wouldn't have a single complaint and would rave about it.

Having worked in New Haven for years, and now approaching 15 years in Colorado, this whole thing gets tiny violins from me. You have access to the best pizza on the planet. I sadly don't.

Modern was the quiet king then.
 
Not a CT pizzeria, but my brother & SIL were in for the weekend from Danbury. Took them for their first Detroit-style pizza at Iron Born on Sat. When they first saw it, they were afraid it was gonna be a belly bomb like deep dish, but were amazed how light and airy the things are. They scarfed all six squares of theirs. Wife and I only 4.5, and we love the stuff.

The people I'm quoting are indeed crusty, but they're oldheads. And the thing is, they tend to enjoy their meals. I think things have changed. It's not that we're looking to criticize. For me, New Haven pizza is a treat that I can't get most of the year. You get to Pepe's and it's underwhelming. I could get what I was served up in New York.

I’ll be moving to Boston probably early February and I’ll give it a shot. Granted I haven’t had the original

One opening in the Seaport in Boston also. Not sure when. If it takes as long as Woburn and Wethersfield I'd expect 2026.

Might actually make it to that one. Woburn? That might as well be Canada.

You’re south shore right? Yeah that’s a trek across 93 lol

South/west part of Metro west. Anything north of Boston that isn't on 495 might as well be Nova Scotia the way our traffic is now. I know you're moving here, great area, but the traffic has become unimaginably bad (even compared to SoCal).
 
Goldbelly delivers specialty foods across states. I had very good results with Zuppardi’s. Sally’s is also an option. Anyone else have experience with Goldbelly versions? Zuppardi’s vs Sally’s? Time to order.

You can find Zuppardi’s at Big Y if you are local. For frozen, it’s good. But we have an embarrassment of riches in Serah Williams CT.

Parlor in Wilton was extremely good. I believe @heyadrien spoke highly of them before. Neapolitan style with very good ingredients.

I’m not local, and only make it to CT infrequently. So, delivery via Goldbelly is my access.
 
Went to Sally's in Woburn, MA today. Very good. I haven't had Sally's in New Haven in forever so I can't compare. I like Pepe's better. Both crusts are great but Sally's has minimal mozz and I would like a little more than they put on their pizza.

What's up with the prices at Sally's? The Pepe's around here charge $24 for a 18" large cheese pizza. Sally's is $29.75. Seems out of whack. Is the Sally's in New Haven more expensive than the Pepe's in New Haven also?

it didn't used to be so expensive, but ever since it was bought by private equity they have done virtually everything imaginable (including opening in woburn, ma) to squeeze profit out of the brand. i want to say that you could get a large tomato pie for like $14 <10 years ago.

the pizza is still the same, but a lot of the other things that i loved about the restaurant are long gone.

The pizza is very much not the same. I went to Sally's about 10 years ago in New Haven, and it was easily my favorite of the major New Haven competitors. I went there about six months ago, and it was nowhere near the same. On top of that, the Sally's in Fairfield is atrocious. Like straight up garbage. The second they sold out it was over. They're done.

Agreed, sadly. Sally's isn't even in my top 10 anymore.
