OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I lived in Norwalk pre-Colony expansion from 96-99. Rented right near the HS. There were some pretty good pizzas I could walk to that don't get mentioned here. Letitzia's comes to mind.

Anyway, last time I was back there I was told that if I liked Colony, then Fat Cat was better.

It's most assuredly not.

Fat Cat has its place, paired w/salad & wine, which is its owners' forte.

Letizia's is yet another in the "non-transcendent good local place that everywhere ought to have" category.

If @Irishfan 's comment on The Bronx wasn't a misfire that meant Brooklyn, it needs to name names.

I got as far as Ronnie's in Tremont for white pies, and some average (read: good enough) street slices near Fordham, before discovering and liking best Johnny's in nearby Mount Vernon, which also hits the Letizia's, Salerno's, Rossini's sweet spot.

Yeah, based on my personal experience, a discussion about Bronx food belongs more in the Bagel thread than the pizza thread

Vinnies pizza Waterbury and Suddington

I visited little Italy in the Bronx for the first time in MANY years and was saddened by what I saw. It isn't the same place. I think I like the Manhattan little Italy more now.

Shouldn't a ND fan posting anti-CT pizza insults on a UConn board get banned?

I'm confused. Is it Italian apizza or Greek pizza?

There no such thing as Italian Greek pizza

Clearly Greek - not sure what the confusion is.

What is a Connecticut or New England Style Pizza (Also referred to as "Greek Pizza")? It is a thin pan Pizza with a slightly rounded crust. Our Pizzas are baked to a perfectly golden brown color with a crispy crust and bottom.

I went back to modern for the first time in a while and it was better than I remembered and I always thought they were one of the best.

Now my top three are:
1. Bufalina
2. Modern Apizza in New Haven, Connecticut since 1934 and
3. BAR New Haven | Pizza, Beer, and Dancing

Patiently waiting for the "Best Pizza" thread to go to one hundred pages...

Just tried Rocco's in Guilford last night. Got one pie, the Shoreline (gorgonzola, bacon other stuff) Excellent.
They were a bit overwhelmed on a Friday night. Growing pains. On-line ordering did not work, people on hold.
I will definitely be back to try more traditional pies.

I'm not reading all 9,000 pages of this so idk if someone has said this, but bradley and wall in madison is awesome

They are good; I like Grand Apizza and Amato’s (new place next to Klein’s, where New Haven Apizza used to be) better.

In Guilford? I’ll have to give it a try. Only 5 minutes away. Thanks

I just hired Colon Caplan for an architectural history project. Good guy.

Show me what you got. I say it’s Dr. Oetker’s Virtuoso pepperoni and it’s not even close.

 

[JMick]

I'll buy a Newman's Own pizza when it's on sale for $1

The best are Costco

 

[storrsroars]

Do they still make Tree Tavern? If so, there's your winner.

EDIT: Why yes they do, even though I can't get them in Pgh. Found this ranking of frozen pizzas on NJ.com. Tree Tavern is 9th of 37. Dr. Oetker is 7th. I've only had the Dr. pizza once and my memory of Tree Tavern would still put it ahead of the good doctor's pie.

That Amnon's kosher pizza at 14 actually looks pretty tasty compared to the rest of 'em. But I have to wonder about a review that would put Ellio's at 11.

Yep Costco 2nd vote.

Was there a Royal branded frozen pizza way back on the day like 70s? I liked them as a kid.

 

[Robertelamin]

Nothing like a frozen Mama Obese’s Tripple Meat Layer Apizza.

 

[Purple Stein]

When I was a kid, my grandmother would always make us Tony’s pizza and my grandfather would force us to eat purple cabbage. What I remember most is that when she cooked the pizza, the whole kitchen would fill with the smell of gas.

Even today I associate round frozen pizza (not Ellio’s!) with the smell of gas. It’s weird but it’s a comforting memory.

Stouffers french bread was my go to forever. Micro-bake style. 7 minute turn.
