OT: Best Pizza in CT

Dough is flour, water, salt and yeast. That’s it. It’s not culinary institute. Yeah like you could tell from a pic. Funny. I just had Ernie’s in New Haven and this was as good. My dough was NYT recipe pizza dough.

Yeah, there’s a lot more to dough than the ingredient list. I have issues with smell and taste going back to childhood, but even I can tell good dough from dough.

I may be misremembering but in YouTube doc the owner of Modern said they use live cultures (I think) instead of yeast.

If it’s that easy why isn’t every pizza good? You know it’s a lot more nuanced than that. Salt content, hydration, type of flour, fermentation time, proof time, type of pizza you’re trying to make? Anybody can make dough, pizza was always an affordable food to make and eat from the beginning of time so it doesn’t have to be a culinary institute but dough is the most important part of any pizza so yeah it’s flour water salt and yeast and sometimes olive oil but it’s way more than just the ingredients

It’s become not that affordable anymore with smaller sizes and raised prices. Ovens are important as are the quality of the cheese and sauce ingredients but in most cases like ones Portnoy tastes there’s less than $3 worth on a $25 pie. Why do you think there’s a shop every block in cities? And a pizza is approaching the price of some high end entrees in good restaurants.
I do agree that some do it better than others in both quality and price.
