Not sure where I got into it, but one of my favorite pies is white with pastrami and onions. I had a decent pizza place tell me they couldn't make it. I looked at the menu. They had a pastrami grinder on the menu. So I said just give me a white pie with onions and a pastrami grinder. Then I dumped the grinder contents onto the pie and spread it around. brought the pizzamaker a slice and he admitted it was damned good, and he'd probably add it to the menu. Went back a couple months later and it still wasn't on the menu, but at least he would make it for me now.

Sheesh. It's more than a block, less than two. Depalma Ct. divides them, as does a park, a playground and a few other establishments. "Down the street" would probably have been safest, but I don't think there is a risk of confusion with any of the estimates--except two doors from each other, which is flatly wrong.

I was joking with my second response. That's why the "would you believe" was there (Maxwell Smart?). No desire to argue the geography
 
Not sure if it has been mentioned here but Marco's in Branford has an excellent thin crust pizza
 
May be mentioned above but if not, Recovery Room in New London has outstanding pizza. It is located right near L & M Hospital.

Where did you try Colony? The original in Stamford is the best. I get a cheese, hot oil or stinger pizza so I can't really comment on the quality of the other toppings.

I live in Stamford and think Colony is very overrated. I don't understand it. In Stamford, I would recommend Hope Street Pizza (Greek Style). Best Greek Styple pizza in CT though, is Max Pizza in Bristol. That place is a awesome.

If you prefer an Italian pie, then many of the New Haven shops mentioned are great.

New York Times just gave Buffalina (Guilford) their highest review. 8893 is really on to something

I've had buffulina about 6 times. Pricy tiny pies that are very good but it's just not apizza. It's like an artisan specialty pie. Also just some advice for anyone planning on going there. . It very small and you must have reservations, from what I understand they are pretty back up with reservations, and it only sits about 10-15 people with bar like seating. It is byob also. Since there is limited seating ordering out is the best option

I judge every pizza place by a mozzarella pizza if you can't make a damn good mozzarella pizza you can't make pies. Modern pepes and Sally are the top 3. Use to always tout Sally but lately I've been frequenting modern

Bufalina is Napoletana apizza, but not necessarily New Haven style. The toppings are more traditional Italian ingredients than the Americanized versions of apizza. It is more like what I had in Italy than New Haven apizza is. They make only smalls because those cook the best in those ovens. I do not recommend take-out because I don't think thin crust pizza travels well generally. But reservations are definitely recommended. Weather permitting, they also have an outdoor seating area that is first come, first served. The BYOB is a huge plus imo.
 
Grand Apizza opened in Madison on Monday. Same people as Clinton, which is very good. Just trying the pie(s) from Madison for the first time and it is also very solid. Light years better than Village Pizza, which it replaced (after the fire). Instantly ready to declare it the best pizza in Madison; it will definitely be our go-to pizza place in town, as well as for take-out. Good people too.

I'm not a big fan of the Red Tomato either. Lots of folks love it for some reason
 
We've covered a lot of ground on Italian pizza and Greek pizza, what about Turkish pizza?
 
It's not that I wouldn't appreciate the finest pizza in Connecticut, it's just that I don't feel up to the pressure that comes with having the finest pizza in Connecticut.

No, the second-best will do nicely.

Thanks.
 
See my thread, where you can apparently take a short bus to Atlanta. Then head to Gainsville with a bunch of fans. The place is called Chompers pizza.
 
Chuck e cheese off the berlin turnpike in the same plaza as radio shack is by far the second best pizza I've had in the state. They use real tomato ketchup
 
This is the guy to ask if we could only recruit him to the BY. I would put a substantial bet on this guy knowing who has the 2nd best pizza in every state in the country. He would be a great addition to the Boneyard no doubt. :)

It's understandable , you've had a tough week. The football team made some football plays the other night. That will completely throw one off balance. You've earned a break, second best for you.

I'm looking to go out and buy a pizza later, but I don't really want the absolute best.

Thanks.

I know you said "buy," but you could probably slip into any one of a number of places mentioned in the other thread and grab some crusts from departed diners before the table gets cleared for the next group. At room temperature, I think you'd be in the fat middle of "second best." Report back.
