OT: Best Pizza in CT

JMick said:
There's one in Danbury. It's been there a while but I don't understand how it stays in business. Who wilfully eats little Caesars when there are a half dozen real pizza places within a 5 minute drive?

Don't understand how Domino's and Pizza Hut survive either. There isn't an area in Connecticut that doesn't have good pizza.

Whereas, if I'm driving through CT and come across a random pizza place, I would be very confident that I'm getting at least a halfway decent pie.

as long is it isnt a Greek monstrosity.

I am going to run for state representative on a 2 issue platform of legal weed (I dont puff myself, but it should still be legal ;we need the tax $), and making greek pizza illegal so it doesnt water down our state batting average.

If you have a job, and you wait in like an hour line to get a free little caesar's pizza, please just give up

We Connecticut residents are pizza snobs (just look at the long pizza thread). We deserve to be pizza snobs compared to most of the country and the thought of standing in line at a Little Caesars is laughable.
 
It's been many, many years, but I remember Papa Gino's being very good. Granted this was long before I had discerning tastebuds, but...

As with another poster... How the hell is Pizza Hut still in business? I get Domino's b/c it is cheap and delivery is key. It's awful, but I get that. But I don't think Pizza Hut delivers and it's gross on top of that. How is it that they are everywhere?

How about Albanian pizza? A lot of the pizza in the state is made by Albanians.

I dont care what nationality the person is making them. For example the greek pizza place down the street from my work is run by some type of South Americans. I care about them perpetuating the greek pizza disaster.

Greek pizza can be avoided if you follow one rule. If it doesn't have an Italian name keep driving. Names like Olympic or Athena are dead giveaways but be suspicious of any name that doesn't sound Italian. There are exceptions to be sure but you are safer if you follow the Italian name rule.

I do.

I actually enjoy the Casserole plate when Im in Chicago. Its not really Pizza, but its tasty. I love how they use an entire disk of Sausage in in the Pie so there is not even a millimeter of a bite that doesnt have Sausage in it.

Was at Lou Malnatis this past summer. Was great.

In Michigan where I work there is a place that makes an out fricking standing deep dish. Like better than all but a couple/few I had in Chicago.

Yep, it's not pizza but it can be pretty damn good.

Is Papa Gino's still around CT.? I always thought that was by far the best chain pizza back in the day, I legit thought it was pretty good.

I have never been to one. None in this part of the state. If I'm really desperate I'll get a slice at Costco but that's the lowest I'll stoop. It's typically pretty good but is sometimes undercooked
 
Before UConn renovated the Student Union there was a small Papa Gino's where you could get small personal pizzas to go with points. It was run by the same dining services people that ran Bookworms and the other cafes on campus.

Downstairs at Gino's on Rush is good too.

The Church's Chicken of pizza

Never have and never will, as someone said, debase myself by eating that crap. One of the few places where even on commercials you can tell the product is awful

A thousand years ago I used to go to the one at the New London Mall which may or not still exist (the mall and pizza). Wasn't there one at that sketchy Eastbrook Mall thing near UConn? That was the last time I had it.

AW, I know your taste buds are well, special, but you really get down with Pizza Hut wings? I feel like the only time I've done the Hut was when they had the pizza buffet when I was in high school. Even then it was purely the spirit of competition and not taste that fueled the trip.
 
Hut wingz bro! Clip the coupon!

I have a general rule for stopping at unknown pizza places. It has worked flawlessly in CT.
Choose one that has a neon sign spelling out APIZZA.
That's it. Beyond that, you're on your own

I see their commercials but have maybe only seen a single restaurant in all of CT.

Had pizza at Roseland in Derby one time. Easily one of the best pies I've ever had. The sauce was unbelievable.
