That menu looks like it'd be a place that wouldn't survive more than a week on Wooster St.

But it appears the Spooker is chicken sausage. If that joint had any integrity, they wouldn't allow substitutions on a signature dish, right?

However, it's obvious by its name it doesn't have integrity.

Anyway, plenty of better choices out your way. I assume that place has ranch dipping sauce. Maybe even sriracha.

It doesn't matter. They have the spooker.

This is a mau thing, right? Same guy who turns his nose up at a Pepe's clam pie?

He can have ALL the Spookers.

You've never had the spooker from verdolinis in Meriden? Best pizza ever. They closed in 92. The recipe died with them until Randy Wooster street unearthed it.

I lived smack dab between Arthur Ave & Wooster St. Colony was 8 minutes away. I could walk to Amore. Why on earth would I have gone to Meriden for a pizza?

You seem to be a toppings guy. I'm all about the crust.

You enjoying those Arby's pizza sliders?

Verdolinis/ little rendezvous oldest coal oven in state your CT pizza knowledge is lacking
 
Working in New Haven now, really spoiled by my options. Still feel Da Lenga is right up there with Modern, Pepe's, Sally's, and etc.

I don't really care that I missed out on that. Most of you kind folks up that way considered us not "real" CT anyway.

You and Deep are catching on AW, I can feel the love of Meriden's tradition such as the Spooker. My sister brought it up the other day and I almost laughed my ass off, hadn't heard it anywhere but here in years. Not a Wooster St pizza guy but if I had one in Western Mass it would be like having one of the New Haven spots in comparison to what we have up here. No clue here whatsoever.

I will say I agree with storrsroars on the fact a good crust can do wonders even for crappy pizza. On occasion a Greek style place will at least get that part right.

De Legna is good but not what I would consider "traditional" New Haven Pizza and not as good as the big 3. Great place though the staff is fantastic

You like living creatures on your "pizza" too? Damn there's some whacko's here besides AW and Deep?

See below this could be a reason you're so miserable :)
Clams
Here’s a great reason to chow down at the clambake: Clams are packed with vitamin B12; low levels of that vitamin can lead to depression, as the brain needs B12 to make dopamine and serotonin. Depressed people who had low levels of B12 (and were taking antidepressants) felt much better 3 months after adding a B12 supplement. Bonus: even canned clams, including those in chowder, offer a B12 boost.

Lots of dopamine on this board but I'm good without it. And depression, that ain't me you should be though without having ever dug into a Spooker! And I get that, you'll be ok.

Went to high school with Randy's brother Bob. Randy was 2 years behind us. He was a 16 year old that drove a 59 Vette to school with a beer tap built in the trunk spare tire well.
Had a Pizza at his Manchester store about 3-4 years ago, it was OK but nothing great.

Mau would order one just to save the receipt that said "Large Spooker" (Sorry Kev) :-)
 
Pepe's clam pizza is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I wonder how many of you are even a little Italian.
 
Anyone ever been to Est Est Est in New Haven? They've been there for as long as I can remember and I must have passed it literally hundreds of times, but never set foot inside. We hired their pizza truck for my daughter's graduation party and it was excellent--totally legit wood-fired, brick oven New Haven pizza. Huge hit. Will definitely be stopping in to the place to see if the pizza there is as good as their truck.
