OT: Best Pizza in CT

Fairchild Wheeler in Fairfield/Bridgeport. Grilled chicken and cherry peppers. $
 
Alling Memorial in New Haven is only 3.3 miles from Pepe's. Hit your approach to the 18th green into the parking lot, call in an order, get in your car, pick it and you will be back before your partners know you have left.
 
Southington Country Club and this place.

They also have a pretty kickass vending machine with all the right candy and jalapeño cheetos.

If you want to practice golf and have a great pizza then go to Billy T's in Cromwell.

You're welcome!

This is actually spot on. I go here just to eat sometimes. The pizza is good!
 
Fairway Mini Golf. For extra credit, there is a car wash mere miles in every direction.
 
Haven't played golf in Stamford for a dozen years, but the 19th Hole bar at Brennan used to serve a decent greasy thin crust bar pie. It was our usual stop after night softball at Scalzi Park.

Sadly, it might actually be that the pizza is better than the course, which used to be pretty ratty (tee mats on 3-4 holes) and stacked to the gills from 6-minute intervals.

The front 9 @ Pepe's in new haven is rather pedestrian, but the back 9 is beautiful and challenging. I know you will like it.
 
I live next to a golf course and I am building a wood fired pizza oven in my backyard, soon to be the best pizza/golf in the hood.

bonus if it has a good vending machine.

Any thoughts?

Ask and you shall receive! Hop meadows in Simsbury is about a mile from Little City Pizza which is excellent. There is also a vending machine at the grocery store you will have to pass to get there too.
 
Golf course pizza demands a shunkie by the 4th hole - or at least a good clump of bushes for camo.

I took my parents to Roseland in Derby tonight to see how it stacked up against the New Haven trio of Pepe's, Sally's and Modern. It was good, but not great. It was also by far the most expensive pizza place I have ever been to. About 20% more expensive than the big three. Been there, done that, won't be going back.

I went to that place years ago with my pops and it seemed outrageously expensive, especially considering it's not exactly fine dining.

Their Seafood Pizza is very expensive, but loaded with fresh scallops, lobster and shrimp and probably the best signature item on the menu. I agree that their pizza otherwise is good not great, but they do have some good, unique specials like escarole and bean pizza. Their fresh pasta entrees are a better deal imo--they are huge and very good.

As a kid back in the day when parents let their kids walk anyway as long as it was daylight and with other kids, used to go to Saturday morning Derby HS football games with the neighborhood gang and drop a dollar or two on a slice at Roseland after. Good memories. Went back a few years ago and was surprised how pricey they did get. I mean, I can understand the price on the seafood pie; but, even the basic stuff is high. Any idea why? Not like Derby has gentrified as there is money floating around town unlike parts of downtown new haven.

I haven't been there in years myself and I don't have any insight on the prices other than for the seafood pie.

I may have already told this story in the early pages of this thread, but I went there with my sister and brother-in-law around 15 years ago after visiting my father, who had been admitted to nearby Griffin Hospital. I had been telling my brother-in-law about their epic seafood pie and he insisted that he and I split one, and he insisted on paying. The menu only said "market price," and he joked with the waitress, "We'll take that, as long as it's not more than $40." She laughed as she walked away, "I'm sure you know that it's more than that!" The look on his face was priceless. He truly thought he had thrown out a price that was way more than it could possibly be.

When the pie came and it was "just" a small, he started to grumble some more--until we started eating it. There was at least 2" of nothing but fresh, buttery lobster, scallops and shrimp covering the entire pie, and we couldn't finish it. We had two pieces left over and he insisted that I take them home.

The next night we had two other couples over for dinner. I took those two small pieces and cut them into tiny squares and we served them as hors d'oeuvres. Our dinner guests raved.
 
Had Hubbard Park Pizza in Southington last night - wasn't impressed with their buffalo chicken pie. However, I ordered a Hawaiian pie as well and it was surprisingly very good.

Everyone that has or had money in derby/ansonia gets their pie from there. There are still enough of that generation to support it.

Does Derby play Ansonia and/or Seymour anymore? Since Derby was folded into the SCC when the Housatonic merged with everyone else in the area, only the annual Turkey Day game between Shelton and Derby has continued (talk about a size disparity, Derby has what 300 students and Shelton has about 1,800 or so). Next time through, I'll try & stop.
