His name is "Replicant", so how do you know for sure? Could be you.

@CTBasketball started this glorious thread and then a mod merged it with a similar thread on the women’s board and usurped all his due glory.

I for one would like to petition for the reinstatement of CT as the rightful lord of the pizza thread.

It’s only right .

I should have been slapped for starting and OT thread mid-season (Jan 5, 2013), but it was a day or so removed from UConn losing to Marquette on the road because the officials had the teams go the wrong way off the tip in OT and erased UConn’s 2-0 lead, in a pointless season might I add.

I needed pizza more than it needed me.

If that's how it started I'm surprised this isn't a vodka thread.

Back in those days a young CTBasketball was probably drinking Sailor Jerry, Hams, or Rolling Rock.

People in college looked at me crazy for drinking Rolling Rock but they knew nothing about mojo.

A young KryHavok drank Piels, which really sucked (but wasn't as bad as whatever that p!$$water bars around SCSU served), and he never found issue drinking Rolling Rock that went down much easier.

The pecorino goes on before it's baked, not after.

Sometimes. Either way it triggers Portnoy.

But he’s reviewed multiple tomato pies lol

It’s not rational. The taste is more important than “the flop”

Let’s be real, I wouldn’t expect rationality from the guy

It really is amazing the influence he has on pizza sales when he's a culinary moron. He constantly calls basil "oregano" and margherita pizza "napolitano". His only comment on sauce is whether is has "tang" or not. But good on him, he's created an empire.

And he gets the pizza steaming in a box before he judges it, which is the worst thing you could possibly do.

It is crazy how much influence he has but I generally agree with him on how good a pizza a place makes. He's turned us on to a few pizza places over the years (my son follows him, not me) that I would have never known about. And he's not a culinary expert so nobody should take his comments like that. He's not a food critic judging French cuisine. He's telling us how he liked a pizza. Nothing more.

That said, it's fortunate for most of us here that he prefers NH style to others, so the recs are more useful than not outside of CT (and same pretty much holds for Colony fans, although outside of MA/NJ you won't find much similar).

His audience is big on tang.

The Tang is overrated in IKansas

I love this. That must have been a lot of fun. I am a huge Modern fan. It drives me crazy when people who eat New Haven Pizza will state something like, "I love Sally's. Pepe's is garbage." I know taste is subjective but truthfully, Modern, Sally's, Pepe's, Mondo's etc are all friggin delicious. You might have a preference based on your experience but you give me any of those Pizzas and I am a very happy man.

100%! All good pies. It was a great night
