OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Husky Johnny]

Try Stretches on Main St. in Newington. Been written up numerous times in Courant and even NY Times. Compared to Pepe's in one article I read.

Stretches has been closed for years. The chef owner needed knee surgery and I don’t think he had medical insurance. It was unfortunate because the guy did make a very good pie. I think he learned his craft at First & Last Tavern in Hartford.

It’s one of their specialty pies. Salami sweet and hot peppers and hot honey oil plus other stuff. Never had the spooker.

Your pizza choices are awesome but come back when you’ve had the spooker. Best pizza in country . Portnoy gave verdolinis a 9.8

What exactly is the “spooker”?

Sally's Norwalk (not that it matters to me, its easily my least favorite of the Big 3) delayed again until 2025 Norwalk Sally's Apizza Restaurant Opening Delayed To 2025 Pretty sure it was the first expansion location announced way back in 2019. I've got not clue how SoNo Collection is even staying open, but know they've filed suit to reduce their 2023 revaluation assessment by half...

They just dropped their appeal recently...

Going to Fouco Apizza for lunch tomorrow. Hear it’s great. Whenever I go to a new pizza place I always get a cheese pie and my favorite , some variation of a sausage, hot pepper, hot honey, whatever special they have that’s similar. Apples to apples.

Had their stuff at least a half dozen times, all excellent overall. Tomato pie is on point. I might have only gotten something with sausage once and I believe it was fine.

Spooker not on the menu early on

Nobody's gonna answer what the "spooker" is?

I'm starting to think it's an urban myth. Somebody fess up...

I never had one. I don't know what's on the "real" Spooker, which apparently died with Verdonlini's back in 1992. But seven years ago ADub posted a photo of a menu from some joint that offered something called "Spooker".

If you had one, you'd know.

If I knew what it was couldn’t I ask somebody to make one?

I've never been to Square Peg. Is it good? My parents live pretty close to the Glastonbury one but I still haven't been there. Columbia? What is in Columbia?
