I miss Salerno's already. They would wait until August for the peak ripeness of the local plum tomatoes for their special pie. Pepe's is already advertising their summer fresh tomato pie when there are no tomatoes in CT yet. Great, summer pie with tomatoes from Mexico. They think people will be dumb enough to buy it, and they are right!

My brother is coming to town this week. Is there a good time to go to Sally’s without waiting? Modern too?

Terrific flick, I’ve often said that one mark of a truly great film is bit roles and major roles in the film played by unknowns who later became famous in their own right. Was Angelina’s last name “Pepe”? Lol. The screenplay by Inge is a masterpiece.
Was in Stamford last week and had pizza at the Colony Grill with my wife. It was okay but not great- very very thin, decent enough flavor, but we didn’t think it was anything we needed to try again. Cool place though with a lot of character. Staff was great.

Finally finished my NH pizza starter kit by crossing off Sally’s yesterday afternoon. Now been to Pepe, Sally’s, Modern, Bar, and Zuppardi’s but of course I’ve had plenty from some other great spots throughout SWCT
I think I heard it in this thread that, when Sally’s is having a good night, nobody does it better. And I must have caught them on a great night. Picked it up as if came out the oven and started eating in the car. Absolute nirvana. A couple bites had a little more flour than I would hope but otherwise I can’t think of any way it could have been better. I’ve only been to Sally’s, Pepe’s, and Zup one time each, whereas I’ve been to modern at least 5 times and Bar at least 4 times. I’ve also had Fuoco numerous times. I honestly couldn’t say which is best. Modern and Fuoco are definitely great and consistent. I don’t want to be disappointed if I go back to the other big spots lol but I think consistency is really the only thing you can use to separate these great pizza joints

Reminds me of a tropical plant from the Amazon or Borneo. Must be the way the pepperoni curls up like that. Lol

One of the best pepperoni pizzas you’ll ever find is in San Diego at Tribute Pizza. They do a pizza with large, traditional pepperoni slices along with the smaller cupped pepperoni. If you or anyone is ever in SD and you get bored of tacos and sushi, it’s the first pizza place anyone should hit up.
That was my opportunity to make a plug for Tribute and I took it because it’s the best pizza in SD lol
