OT: Best Pizza in CT

Another place I’ve yet to see mentioned is Sal’s Apizza in Meriden. It’s just off 691 and 66, new owner within the past year. It’s not in the same class as Pepe’s, Modern, Grimaldi’s etc but the toppings are excellent and they’re very generous with them. Broccoli and meatball is my favorite there. If you’re ever in the area, it’s well worth checking out.

Fired Up Pizza Truck-New Haven Style Thin Crust Mobile Pizza

Friend of mine runs this. He grew up on Pepe's so you know he's a thin crust, charred around the edges kinda guy. Ask for Frank, and tell 'em RichZ sent you.

We have this truck at work every summer for our annual summer party, I always eat way too many slices, it’s that good. Tell your friend to keep up the great work.
 
Anyone been to the new Next Door pizza in the old Humphrey's space in New Haven? I believe one of the pizza makers there used to work at Pepe's. It's owned by the same people that run the Big Green Trucks...

Have not been yet but a good friend went a few weeks ago and said it was great. I hope to get there soon.
 
I travel a lot in Europe for my work, and the same was true when I was back in the states. I have sampled a lot of pizza, including Italy. The best pizza I have had is the pizza back in Connecticut and the surrounding states. I don't know if a lot of people in CT appreciate how good the pizza is. I didn't, until I started going on the road. The all time worst for me was northern California. They give you a dish of ranch dressing and you are supposed to dip your slice of already horrible pizza in the dressing. Right up there with N CA is Turkish pizza over here in Europe. I really miss that pizza from CT.

Talk about a crap location. Ok in daylight, but after that good luck!

Yet Humphreys use to kill it. If the owners weren't greedy and just kept the new haven and orange locations rather than trying to expand more/ too fast they might still be around
 
I can affirm that, despite what you may have heard on that 'Pizza Show', NJ pizza sux across the board. Don't do it anymore. Wait for NYC or CT trips.

I love CT pizza overall but arguably the best pie I’ve ever had yet was from Giuseppina’s in Brooklyn. Thin crust, coal oven fired pizza cooked to perfection in 7 minutes. It was $30 for a two topping pie but worth every bite.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned in the first 95 pages, but I used to really love Geno's on New London Tpke in Glastonbury. I know it's not the type of pizza folks associate with the class of CT, but it was so good as far as thick, square pieces go. In that same class of pizza, Wilson Pizza in Windsor is also great.

Funny, but I thought Geno's was the most average pizza I ever ate. But I know many Glastonbury locals who loved it. I believe Harry's is there now. Very good pizza despite being a bit on the pricey side.
 
Does anyone in CT eat Domino's Pizza? Would seem strange to do so with so many great options around.

Geno's is ok for doughy, square-cut, Greek style pizza. Procaccini's in EH not far from there is not bad too. I prefer my pizza thin crusted. Harry's and Luna's in G-Bury are better.

I’ve had the Big Green Truck a few different times and it was always great. Hired Est for our own party last summer and it was excellent. Fantastic pizzas, endless varieties, great salad and dessert and cleaned it all up. Guests were blown away and more than a few have contacted us since to find out who it was so they could hire them. Would definitely recommend.

Was just at my cousin's Jack and Jill in Old Saybrook this weekend and they had one of the fleet of Big Green Trucks. It was pretty good. Good variety but just a little limp and soggy. Could've used a couple more minutes in the oven.

Was talking to a friend in Texas and he had just ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut which he thought was the best pizza in Texas. WARNING: don't order pizza in Texas.

You can probably get an ammo delivery with it though.

They give Ranch with pretty much everything you order out here.

I grew up on California and never heard of dipping your pizza crust in ranch dressing until I moved to Reno where I also found out people dip their crust in honey. Weird stuff goes on here in Reno. Luckily, I did find one of my favorite pizza places in the world here (see my avatar) Home. <<<<<click that link. Smiling with Hope Pizza is fantastic.

I associate honey with the mountain west style pizza with a huge crust. Basically eat the slice and leave the crust behind to dip in the honey as a subsitute for dessert.

My brother went recently and liked it... so next time I'm in town, I'll have to check it out.

Yup... To each his own. (timely tweet). I’ve had Denver pizza. It wasnt horrible but it’s clearly an acquired taste.
