OT: Best Pizza in CT

[August_West]

Should I ask what a spooker is? Anyway Krust is high on my list of places to try soon.

Not to be cryptic but the spooker is the Pizza equivalent of the jack-a-lope

 

[August_West]

I think the guy is allowed to have his own favorites.

Absolutely not. He is to be spoonfed his opinion from the boneyard or face the wrath.

 

[intlzncster]

Agree. That was a nonsensical statement, unworthy of a boneyarder.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

For personal sized pizzas: Colony Grille in Fairfield or Arthur's Famous in Bridgeport

In that case, he's wrong. Mulberry is fine, but I don't think it's even the best pie in Manchester.

Everyone in America has a spot to buy a pie/slice today no excuses: Linky

I contributed to NPD by having Zerio's in Cromwell. Not worthy of "best" designation, but it's certainly good. Very saucy; which I happen to like.

you know what I notice is missing from that list there? Greek Pizza places. I wonder why? I think we need to go back through this thread and scrub all references to Greek pizza. And if I had admin rights (and you all are glad I dont. I would ban everyone but Chief) I would also scrub their accounts from ever being eligible to post in any Yard Pizza discussions heretofore.

Wrong. Willington Pizza is listed.

I don't always order Greek pizza but when I do I top it with turkey and ketchup. I am the most disgusting man in the world. Stay hungry my friends

If only there were Chicago-style Greek pizza. You could use ketchup and american cheese.

With roast turkey. Don't forget the roast turkey...green peppers and Cheez Whiz.

This is now open and all the pizzas look incredible. Will definitely be stopping in next time in Storrs

Lina Lucarelli has passed. She was cofounder of Derby's Roseland Pizza, a popular nominee in this thread.

She was 92. Her husband died in 1980.

Rest in Peace Lina!

When I was a kid there was a place in East Hartford J&G's Greek I think. My family being Italian and owning restaurants in/around Hartford always called him a Greek. Man it was tasty it's was also so long ago. That's a topic for another thread - deceased pizza joints/restaurants

Lina was my grandmother and she will be missed very much. My family will continue to strive to keep her legacy alive and keep Roseland Apizza going for her!

Sorry to hear of your loss. May your grams RIP.

I will have to get to Roseland and try her legacy very soon. Take care

Im sorry for your loss. Im at Roseland probably once a week and its easily the best pizza around. Your family does an excellent job.

Every 5 days, another franchise location is opened by the California-based company. For anyone familiar with high quality pizza who has eaten a Blaze pizza, what's the quality level? Good enough to satisfy typical students? Actually, pretty high quality 'za? Somewhere smack-on average?

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Jluc

I brought my nephew to Jordan's furniture in New haven to do the rope course thing they have in there and he wanted pizza so we got the blaze pizza in Jordan's. He ate half and I took 2 bites and threw it away and went to Modern for some real pie.

I've had worse pizza but I live in New Haven area so there are much better options around. Give it a 5.5 out 10 better than Dominos and those types of places.

So, 1 polite vote for blah pizza. Anyone else?

like everything else in life- its about expectations. Haven't had it yet but if you're going into it with the idea that it will be comparable to Pepes or Sallys then you're probably going to be disappointed. If you are comparing it to the other options in Storrs i.e. Husky Pizza, Dominos, etc then it is definitely a step above from the reviews I've heard. Heading to campus in 2 weeks and hoping to try it for myself while there (although a BBQ onion ring pizza from Ted's might happen instead)
