New hours and pickup protocol (love the under-baked and not cut recommendation) at Bufalina:

Here at Bufalina we are extremely grateful for all of our customers and being a part of the Guilford community for the past nine years. Under the current circumstances we are limiting our hours to Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 4:00 to 8:00pm. According to State protocol we will be open for takeout and curbside pickup only. In order to keep our patrons and employees safe we are moving to credit card transactions only taken over the phone.

In the meantime, to keep our food handling down to a minimum we will be using a basil oil made in house on our Margherita and Bufalina Pizzas instead of fresh torn basil.

Our recommendation and how we personally eat our takeout pizza we suggest asking for them slightly under baked and not cut. Where you can then take them home and pop them in a hot oven (425 degrees for about 5 minutes.)

We hope to be serving in house customers again soon.

Stay healthy


Sincerely,


Matt & Melissa

Where I live, the town put up a list on its website of all of the restaurants in town noting which are closed, which offer take-out, and which offer delivery, including Grub Hub. Going to do my best to support them as I want them to still be in business when this is all over and the fact that many of my neighbors own or work for them.
 
[chow] in Clinton puts out great pizza pies.

Brought home one called The Mahalo yesterday. !!

mozz/proscuitto/bacon/grilled pineapple and pineapple chipotle BBQ sauce.

It gets five "Oh mommys!!!"
 
Pepes is delivering via door dash. Id still rather pick it up. Fairfield has its game at 90% of new haven. Best thing my g\f confuses them on the phone order she's so particular, they always get it wrong (red pie well done double pepperoni, extra grated cheese) ....she's right then don't listen....then make the right pizza and comp us the mistake lol.

I’ve been there twice and was underwhelmed both times. Didn’t think they did anything particularly great; like they want to be Moxie, but sell mediocre BBQ and pizza. Have not tried that pie but sounds interesting—but doubt I’ll give them another shot.

My wife and daughters are more forgiving and have been two other times without me and have come away wanting more then, too.

They were really busy last night! And selling wine by the bottle for 20% off. Glad some of these places are able to keep business going, this is going to crush so many restaurants.

That's a good question. What's the best non-New Haven Pepe's? I'm been to Fairfield, Waterbury, Danbury, and West Hartford. In my opinion, West Hartford was the best I had so far.

I agree on West Hartford being the top franchise location I have had.

Whenever I get Pepe’s I always get a pie that is broccoli, Olive oil, grated cheese, garlic, oregano. No mozz. I repeat no mozz several times, let them know that them they usually add mozz by accident... No matter what I say, 75% of the time they make the pizza with mozz. Same thing though, they always just make the pie the right way while I wait and I get the other one for free. It seems like the person taking the order knows it was a mistake, but the people reading the slips don’t pay close enough attention.

We called around 3:30 yesterday to place an order that we were hoping to pick up between 5:30 and 6:00. Good for them that they were already so booked for the night that we had to pick up a little after 5:00, otherwise they were pretty much at their limit until they close at 8:00. We followed their advice and got them slightly under baked and not cut, and then finished off in the preheated oven at home. The special was the surprise winner among our five pies: Macerated Black Currant Pizza, with mozzarella, gorgonzola dolce and fresh arugula (wisely given on the side to be added after removing from the oven).

Looking forward to leftovers this afternoon.
 
One Bite has been doing frozen pizza reviews from his apartment while sheltering in place. Check out the surprising cameo from someone we all know and love in his review of Red Baron...

EDIT: To save you the time... It's 2:20 ish in

OK I know this subject is taboo, but a junkie needs his fix. Its the frozen isle for me, yes I can do pickup by my scared arse wife will make it unenjoyable. So what do you eat out of desperation.

Did Digornio's peperroni thin today and it tasted like paper, spicy ketchup with cheese.

Do you all just wait it out, make your own or add a bunch of stuff to it to at least make it edible?

Heading to the grocery store this weekend so any suggestions would be great, even if i have to try a couple.
 
David Portnoy's One Bite Challenge has Amy's on top so far with a 6.4, Red Baron coming in second with a 6.2.

Di Giorno came in at 2.8, for comparison purposes.

New Haven big 3 were in the 8s. Again, for reference purposes.
 
Once I bought an 8 pack of frozen Zuppardi's pizzas, I've never even imagined buying grocery store pizza. 8 for $60. Make room in the freezer.
