OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Huskybass]

Had the Carbonara pizza last night at the new Pizzeria Sassano in So. Glastonbury. Excellent.

Sassano in South Glastonbury is very good. Amazingly, there are at least a handful of others in Glastonbury that make very good to excellent pizza of varying types. Harry's, Giovanni's, Angelo's, and Luna are all very good. No shortage of good options is Glastonbury, but none that are New Haven level.

Hey yous, late night Friday post:

We all know that New Haven style apizza is the best.

But, what Hartford? In my opinion, Hartford can make a good pie (if not New Haven quality). What are some your favorite Hartford area pizza places?

I start with the original First and Last. What say you?

Chimirri in Wethersfield makes a delicious bakery style, thick Sicilian.

I always liked Village Pizza in Old Wethersfield, although I haven't had it in many, many years.

I'm somewhat of a pizza snob. I can't eat borderline good pizza. Needs to be outstanding. With that said, I strongly recommend Procaccini's for their pizza and shredded salad. It's a small family restaurant on Main St in East Hartford near the Glastonbury line. You won't be sorry! Also, you might want to check out Mulberry Street Pizza on Main St. in Manchester, and First and Last in Hartford on Maple Avenue.

Willie's was my favorite in town pizza growing up in East Haven (Staven).
Haven't been there in years. If I was going to travel to get pizza, I would continue on to New Haven. But East and West Haven always had good pizza.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Anybody been to Blind Pig Pizza on Arch St? I’ve heard good things, but does it have the boneyard seal of approval?

Tollis and John &Maria's are much better

They aren't the big 3 or zuppardis but if you don't want to wait at those they are solid alternatives

Had Rolling Tomato in Groton for lunch. A bit like Plum Tomato (and it was one 18 years ago), but is not affiliated.

Harry's Bishops Corner is my favorite in the area and all the places you suggested are good. I would add First & Last in Hartford and Avon and Little City in Simsbury.

Little City is pretty awesome.

Little City is pretty awesome.

Meh.

 

[Huskybass]

Meh.

Well I haven't been to little city in several years but it used to be absolutely killer.

Never been to any location. Just never stop in Waterbury and rarely pass through.

Is the Milford location a close approximation? Also, should I really get the mayo on the Italian combo grinder? I'm in southwestern fairfield county which leans toward NYC style with oil and vinegar and never mayo on an Italian but I want to see what the deal is. The online menu for the Italian doesn't include the "classic mix". Is that an error? Is there a better Nardelli's grinder to get a a first timer?

Inside scoop from those in the know please.

For your first time you need to go to the one in Waterbury. As for what sandwich you get, do what you like.

 

[UC313]

Ask specifically for your sammy on Milite's bread. It's life changing. All other bread will cease to exist after you've had it.

 

[Danzz]

Been to the one in Southington and wasn't impressed.

 

[UC313]

If i had to make an Italian combo suggestion its procuitto, genoa and soppressata with provolone. Veggies as you please or with the nardelli's "works".

Cuz youre doin it wrong. Heed above advice. 313 confirmed.

The Waterbury location is really good. The Danbury one is not even close.

 

[JCSuperstar]

There's nothing wrong with Nardelli's but we're living in a golden age of sandwiches so it's nothing special. If you're at the Waterbury location, just go to Dunya and get a falafel if you want something special.

Also mayo on an Italian Combo is disgusting. Salt/Pepper/Oil/Vinegar.

 

[Horatio]

The Nardelli's in Danbury is paradise.

 

[superjohn]

If you're in Waterbury go to Cavallo's instead or go to Domenick & Pia's for slices.

 

[HuskyNationJE]

Came home to visit CT about a year ago and someone said it was good. Went to the Milford location. Thought it was mediocre at best. Much better deli's. If you're in Milford, drive the extra 5 minutes to Napoli on Bridgeport Ave. Great food!
