I always try to go to places with good reputations at off hours. I always take into account the fact that a product can suffer when a place is packed and busy. When did you go? I’ve consistently had good stuff there (4 times in the last 6 months), even when they were on the busier side. In that same time frame I’ve been to Pepe, Zuppardi, and Modern as well and it definitely stacks up.
I went late night so maybe the best pizza makers had left for the evening. I kept the order simple so I could get the true flavors of the pie without being influenced by a bunch of toppings. The taste was fine, but there was no char and it was a flop fest. I had to roll it up to maintain any type of control. Don’t get me wrong, I still had a great time and am not trying to trash the place, but maybe I need to try the mashed potato pie.
Thick heavy dollops of potato. If you’re looking for a slice that doesn’t bend at all, I don’t think that’s the way to go.
Bull’s Head Pepe’s will be open by April 1.
It took about 3 years for the Fairfield Pepes to start turning out consistently good apizza, despite having brought pizziolas from New Haven. The oven needed to season. Lets talk about Stamford in 2027
Of the big 3, Sally's is my least favorite - although I would never turn it down. Last month, some buddies suggested going to the Stamford location (I had heard mixed - but mostly unfavorable reviews). To my surprise, it was the really good.It took about 3 years for the Fairfield Pepes to start turning out consistently good apizza, despite having brought pizziolas from New Haven.

I hope there aren't 4 hour waits any more. How long was it from the order to when it was ready?
That almost looks overcooked and I'm such a fan of the char I tell my local place to burn it and they know what to do.
The taste test result: perfect. Better than yesterday’s above..
What was the taste test; did you go to different places?
It does look better than the pizza in the other picture. Where are they from?
Yeah, as close to overcooked as it gets without being so. They love toeing that line around here lol got fuoco again last night because I’m moving to Boston Monday and idk when I’ll get it again; looked just like the above.
Any guess? It’s a big name classic.
Called ahead. Waited 5 minutes and ate there. Wasn’t all that impressed. Loved the place. Real nice people. Just didn’t think it was great. Tastes better at room temp after I got to my destination. Going to Olde World on the way home tomorrow.
Where is this from?
That box kinda looks like it could be modern
It certainly isn’t from The Liittle Rendezvous.
My guess is Modern, too.
Olde World is very bare bones as a dining spot, but it's been consistently delicious for years. It's good eating at every cool down temperature if you're taking it in the car, and reheats well.
