I noticed earlier this month that Stretch's in Newington has changed names, anyone know what happened? It was a really solid spot for takeout, although the wait could sometimes be 2 hours.

From this thread I have determined that you people eat and like pizza a lot more than I do. I have pizza once or twice a year. Usually at a party hosted by someone else. At my rate, it would take me 760 years to try every pizza place in this thread.

We were having a discussion about Palm Beach Apizza yesterday, from Grand Avenue in Fair Haven... way back in the day. Anyone else remember dining there?

Yes, great pizza

It's all on the Stretch's Pizza Facebook page. TLDR: Guy closed up shop because he needed a hip replacement.

So after reading about Bufalina on here, I went a few weeks back. The place is the truth, right up there with the big 3. Thanks @8893. It was as good as advertised.

I was on vacation last week in the pizza wasteland that is Rhode Island and learned that Bufalina was closing for vacation from Sunday through the end of the month. When we got home on Saturday there was no debate about what we were doing for dinner that night.
 
I should add this as I ate there yesterday, LaSalle Market in Collinsville turns out some delicious specialty slices. Great crust, quality toppings...just plain yummy. Definitely worth a try if you are in the Canton area around lunch time.

Been there 100s of times in my life. Pizza is nothing special but the place is fun imo. Decent sandwiches, cool vibe in the area

Amazing couple that runs the place too. Good people, spent a lot of time in Italy. They've met me 3-4x in the last few years. I have been solo every time when driving home from work. They remember me, what I do for a living and even that I always go for the straight marg pizza.
 
I'm going to the in-laws this afternoon to cool off in the pool and my wife and we're going to order pizza for dinner. What's the best place that delivers in Danbury? Delivery is a requirement because I'll obviously be having a few beers during the day.
 
"Bobby's", North Branford.

I lived in the New Haven area for decades before moving to Farmington seven years ago. My wife and I still travel to North Branford for Bobby's. Hartford area pizza can't come close to New Haven's (Modern is my favorite there), but Bobby's trumps all.

Tell them Sturge sent you.

What is your go-to pie there? I’ve been there once and loved the sausage. Interested in suggestions for next time.

I just found out First and Last in Middletown closed over some pissing match with the town. That was the best of the First and Last's IMO, and Middletown reminds us why they are Middletown by picking a fight with one of the 5 successful businesses on Main Street.

Taking my nephew to Sally’s Wednesday for his birthday. Will be 6 of us going. For people who have gone recently, all cash, no reservations, right?? Thanks in advance.

I can attest to the fact that the reverse often happens. A lot of the friends I left behind in ny bring Pepe's back to ny with them when they're in Connecticut, even if they have to stop at the easy-on, easy-off branch in Fairfield. If someone in the office is in Connecticut and doesn't bring back Pepe's, they're in the doghouse. Passing through at 6 am is not an excuse. They are supposed to wait.

A lot of it is just a preference with crust thickness. I've always been partial to Chicago style, but get sneered at in the Northeast for saying that. I was also in St. Louis this summer and they have their own style which was hideous. It was like they tried to see if they could make something really awful in the shape of a pizza, call it pizza, and see if people would still buy it.

There is actually something called Detroit Style. I assumed you had to dig it out of a dumpster while being mugged, but no, it's a real thing. Kind of like a cross between Chicago style (if they didn't make it with the cheese under the sauce) and Greek. It's not pleasant.
