It will be interesting if that pizza place makes it. There have been about 10 different restaurants in the past 15 years in that spot. They all end up closing, just don't get it.

Hope it's a good place. Website looks upscale - wine, etc. The past failures at that location were attributed to crappy food/etc /dives. Grand Apizza - a NH transplant - is just down the road, and supposedly very good. Gotta try this stuff.

If at first, Pepe's is trying again to find a landing spot in Boston.

What is it with New York and New Haven joints using the Chestnut Hill area of Boston (actually Newton) as their beachhead. Shake Shak's first Boston location was there, too.

I'm in Texas, what is this thing you call "pizza"?

You have Corky's out there. I was young but it was one of my favorite pizzas. I know there are some boneyarders who remember that pizza place well when it was in East Hartford.

I have always loved Sal's in Old Saybrook. Paesan's is close by but doesn't hold a candle to Sal's. Pizza Palce is also in the area, but is woeful IMO. Not sure if anyone has mentioned any of these because this thread is long in the tooth. Sal's is by far the best I have had except for Pepe's clam pizza. the Pepe's at Mohegan Sun is ok, but not consistent. sometimes it is good, sometimes bad.

Luna Pizza was amazing - especially when it was in the old Farmington Valley Mall... I can't even tell you how many times I went there after Whalers/Husky games with my Dad... place was unreal.

CT magazine recently listed the top pizza places for this year in CT. #4 Roseland is the best IMO.

I've had roselands more times than I have fingers and toes. It's just not pepes sallys or modern.

Those are the best in the world. Just depends about the night mood and what type if pie you desire

My favorite: Farmington Ave. Pizza in West Hartford. A classic greek pie.

 

[methodology]

Greek pizza needs a different thread. Totally different beast and not comparable imo

 

[David 76]

Greek pizza is not pizza. It is whatever the Greek word for pie is. This is just their revenge for Italians stealing their culture and their gods.

My family owns Roselands. Just doing a bit of marketing for it. lol

Nice! I love Roseland and have been going there for at least 25+ years. One of my favorite memories about the place was when I was picking a jury for a case to be tried in the Ansonia/Derby courthouse around 20 years ago. Judge asks the jury pool if anyone has a hardship that would prevent them from serving on a jury for a case that would last 2-3 weeks. Guy raises his hand and says he is the chef at Roseland. A hush comes over the courtroom and the judge looks at counsel for both sides and says, "We have to let this guy go, right?" Both of us respond immediately: "Yes, your Honor." We then turn to the chef and say "Thank you, we love your food." The courtroom broke out in mild applause as the guy walked out.

The best Greek pizza is still only a "B".

I would like to try Grimaldi's in Brooklyn and see how it stacks up against the big three in New Haven.

Done it. New haven better. Actually grimaldis kinda overrated, but very good. di fara is better if in Brooklyn.

I imagine it's been mentioned but Chunky Tomato in Bristol is molto delizioso.

Had Sono Pizza last night at 2:00am. It was really good. I was also obliterated.

Has anyone had Little City Pizza in Simsbury? I've heard good things.

Just heard on WPLR this morning (my car is in the shop and rental doesn't have Sirius, which is killing me) that this place won Best Pizza in this year's Hartford Advocate poll.

 

[CTBasketball]

You shut your mouth right now.

Went to Grimaldi's in Fort Myers FL recently. Was an A plus by Florida standards, and probably a B plus to Pepe's of New Haven's A.

We have it so good in CT. B plus pizza in Florida is newsworthy.

C in Clearwater.

I learned that every Connecticut pizza joint does the same if you request salami on a pie. Growing up in California it was my favorite. In CT they stared at me like a had a horn growing out of my forehead.

Call Texas Steers Inc.
They remove horns.

 

[Huskybass]

Little City in Simsbury is quite good. Definitely top 10% in CT. Great greasy thin crust pie.

 

[fatlucy]

Bufalina in Guilford has the most delicious pizza. Ill take it over Modern and BAR and that's not easy for a New Haven guy to do.

My wife's She uses fat free cheese and makes the most delicious veggie pizza that I've ever had. Great taste without the fat/cholestrol
