Back door take-out

That list needs more Middletown.

Thinking about trying Ozzy's this weekend. Any comments?

Family-owned pizzeria brings tavern-style pie to new CT location. They found their ‘sweet spot’

-> Connecticut-based Riko’s Pizza is continuing to expand around the state, adding a new location in Ridgefield. The business plans to open its new location at 955 Ethan Allen Highway in May or June.

It will be Riko’s sixth corporate-owned location and the 13th overall. The family business, founded by Rico Imbrogno in Stamford in 2011, specializes in ultra-thin, tavern-style pizza.

The Ridgefield location will be two floors. The upstairs is a 3,000-square-foot dining level with 16 bar seats. Drinks will include craft beers, wines and specialty cocktails…

… Bachmann said the customers’ top choice is the original cheese pizza. Second-most popular is a hot oil pizza, and the third best seller is the hot honey with ricotta cheese. <-

Shameless ripoff of Colony.

Shameless ripoff of Colony.

We Stamfordites love Colony for the nostalgia, but Riko’s makes a better bar pie now. Shameful or shameless, no one cares.

Couple buddies of mine opened a Riko’s in Carolina Beach, NC. Place is printing money.

Although I have never gone to the Plantation location, I have heard good things about it. Apparently, not enough business. I use the other Florida location in Delray Beach to get Pepe's when I am in the area.

I usually stick to your WBB forum, but I just noticed this thread. I'm moving to NYC, when I retire in a couple of years, and I definitely want to make some trips up to New Haven for pizza. My only first cousin is a professor at Yale, so that's another reason. I've eaten at Frank Pepe's, but only the one in suburban DC. I have now bookmarked this thread for when the time comes.

For the cheaper taxes, fresh air and laid back lifestyle of course…

Not to mention the world-renown snorkeling, and the adorable local wildlife.

Forget Florida. They Got Older and Moved to New York.

A growing number of older transplants are undeterred by the city’s high costs and are connecting with young neighbors over brunches, birthday parties and running clubs.

$11K/month in rent? I'd be looking for a place where it's $11K/year.

New York is a dynamic place to live, with money. Rent is $132,000 a year? That’s a slightly different retirement level than I have.

Technically it's a bit outside of CT's border but not a bad pie in Lodz, Poland.

A spicy pie with a spicy sausage, crumnled nduja, and sliced chilis. Earned it's name "Inferno".
An extra 30 seconds would have been perfect.

For excitement; have you ever lived in South Carolina? Boring. I want things to do, not "laidback lifestyle". That's for people who wither away into nothingness when they retire.

My budget is $3900/month, which is plenty of apartment for a single guy who already downsized.

Well best of luck to you Cockhorn!

East Village and SoHo will get you a clean, small 1 BR or studio. 600 sq. ft. probably newer appliances. "Creative" storage. My neighborhoods of choice. Stretch to $6000 and it's a different world.
