If you are in the neighborhood - give Inferno Pizza on Universal Drive in North Haven a go. New spot opened by a longtime New Haven area pizza virtuoso. Thin crust, New Haven style w/ right amount of char. White clam as good as any I’ve had anywhere else. Foxon Park served as a bonus.

Strip mall location w/ no trouble parking.

Foxon Park soda is not a bonus, it is a minimum requirement. If you walk into a pizza place and they don't have Foxon Park, leave, immediately.

The presence of Foxon Park was actually how I knew my hunt for decent Hartford-area pizza ended at Naples 5 years ago.

I buy a ton of stuff from amazon. Thanks for the heads up.

On the topic of pizza. Pepes as well as Jerry-san on RT34 are a factor in my son's college choices. Food is life.
 
Sally's sold:

Iconic Sally’s Apizza in New Haven sold to unnamed buyer; Consiglios to stay on indefinitely

Ate there two months ago for the first time in maybe 10-15 years. Not a thing had changed, including terrible service (when they don't know you) and no frills. But damned if the pizza wasn't still excellent--and considerably better imo than the last time I was at Pepe's, last year sometime.

Sounds like no planned changes for a few months; will be interesting to see what happens from there, and whether the new owners try to open in other locations like Pepe's has done.
 
A sales guy of mine had a lunch and learn training with a maintenance crew in the Manchester area this week so I went over to check things out. He brought in pizza for the crew and he ended up getting it at Pepe's in Manchester. It was nothing like a Pepe's pizza, even from there the last time I had it. They should have been ashamed of what they let go out that door. It was very thick, not very well done and the sauce was hard to find. The crust was nice, small and had that charcoal taste to it and their cheese mix was still there, but the look of the pizza and the overall taste was only a little better than our horrific WesMass pizza's up here.

They need to do a better job managing their name out there. I know we consider most of any restaurants locations other than the original to be less than expected but still decent. This was really not good for the name, although free food for maintenance guys, they didn't complain LOL

At Modern as I type. We odered a pepperoni, sausage &, mushroom. It was pretty close to everyone's opinion above. Especially the sausage. However we are 45 minutes away.

Rossini's in East Hampton is a reasonable facsimile and only 1/2 mile down the road.

Roasted Red Pepper is an awesome topping Modern offers

is their white clam a "whole belly white clam"? If so, I'm going to check that place out

Pepe's is the only place I ever found whole clam pizza

If Sally's used the pepes model they would be the king of pizza in new haven. The service is awful
 
Got a pie from Pizzeria Sassano in Glastonbury. Was really good for Hartford area pizza. Doesn't come close to New Haven area stuff, but it was pretty darn good.

Disagree, Especially if you are talking about a peppers only pizza.

On that note, We went to the Plum Tomato in Colchester last night. I got the "Sammy The Bull" (Go-to sandwich), but we also ordered a TPT (mushrooms, onions, roasted red and green peppers, pepperoni, and sausage). Could have done without the roasted green peppers, but the underlying pizza was excellent. The fact that the green peppers were roasted made it edible, but green peppers in general taste awful and they contaminate.

I'm not sure you read my post correctly, I said "Roasted RED Peppers". Green peppers on a pizza don't do anything for me either
