My wife works in New Haven and they go to Bar quite often for pizza. She, like others, recommends the potato first and then the cheese.What's the best pie to get at BAR in New Haven? Going tomorrow, finally.

Photographic evidence presented, now some testimony is needed. Sorry, I've become enamored with the Karen Reed thread. How where they?
Really good – on par with Sally's & Roseland, a step behind Pepe's & Modern. The mashed potato & bacon was a very good rec, and I'm grateful to everyone who steered me in that direction.Photographic evidence presented, now some testimony is needed.

Agree on Modern and Pepe's being the best. Modern can be a bit soupy in the middle sometimes but it doesn't matter, the taste is incredible. That's my favorite pizza place of all time. I don't get why Sally's seems to get a lot more love than Pepe's. Every pie I've ever had from New Haven Pepe's in my life has been excellent and they expanded the right way, IMO. I can't say the same for Sally's.Really good – on par with Sally's & Roseland, a step behind Pepe's & Modern.

Next time I come up I'm hitting Zuppardi's.
That’s what can happen when the state's tourism office buys five billboards and a half-dozen subway station "liveboard" ads claiming pizza superiority in the heart of a city that takes its pizza almost as seriously – almost, but not quite – as Connecticut. No, they did not find much agreement.
“We’re here making sure that everybody knows that Connecticut has the best damn pizza in the country. We’re no longer a drive-through state. This is a drive-to state,” Anthony Anthony, the state’s chief marketing officer, declared on a video take.
Trying a little too hard, no?

Serious pizza fans already know about New Haven and people that aren't serious aren't going to be sold by this marketing campaign.That’s what can happen when the state's tourism office buys five billboards and a half-dozen subway station "liveboard" ads claiming pizza superiority in the heart of a city that takes its pizza almost as seriously – almost, but not quite – as Connecticut.

You're allowed to be wrong.It's kind of lame. And fwiw, I like John's of Bleeker a little better than any of the NH places...
No, you can't expect others to make your case for you.Trying a little too hard, no?
Probably not? But you don't think if the message gets out there to the casual fans it won't create interest? Wondering what the fuss is all about?Serious pizza fans already know about New Haven and people that aren't serious aren't going to be sold by this marketing campaign.
I just had my first Country Cow BEC and hash browns in 6 months and man did it hit the spot after a 5:30am wake up for a 7am youth hockey game at the Sacred Heart rink.Travel soccer is a blessing and a curse. Had a game in Norwalk on Saturday but luckily was able to stop and get a BEC from Country Cow (still the best in the state).
I tried the Avon one when it opened, it was just okay flavor-wise and the place seemed like it was yearning to just be a sports bar rather than a restaurant. I don't think it's a model that can be copied and place in other locations.I'm looking forward to Colony Grill opening up in Glastonbury at Somerset Square. It may not be for everyone but there are times that bar pizza just hits the spot. It is my go to spot in Stamford when I'm driving home from NY, easy on and easy off. Hopefully it does better than when they opened in Avon.
There are nine of them. Five are within a half hour of the original which makes sense. Avon is no longer listed on their website.I tried the Avon one when it opened, it was just okay flavor-wise and the place seemed like it was yearning to just be a sports bar rather than a restaurant.

That footprint used to be the old Vic’s Pizza before it morphed into JRoos and moved to State & Dixwell.Dang. Shame. Their apizza, the one time I got it, was very good. But when I picked it up, it was striking how run down the place was. Kind of shocking to learn they were only open 6 years. Looked like a place that had been open since 1995. Hope they can find footing elsewhere
