OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Husky25]

Green are the worst imo; give me the burps.

I love fresh red bell peppers, but yellow and orange are even better imo. And no burps.

Not sure why anyone would prefer unripe peppers. Plus they contaminate, which means even if you remove them the taste lingers.

The sure-fire way to ensure I avoid a pizza is to put green peppers on a cauliflower crust.

I’m talking about on a salad or as part of crudités. I don’t like cooked peppers in general.

For the most part, I do not like raw peppers, but rainbow peppers (Yellow, Orange, and Red) are far superior to green, no matter how they are prepared.

This is my view. Green are simply awful. Not sure how anybody eats them. Red and Orange are ok, but I don't desire them.

I will say that my wife includes red and orange (and sadly some green) in her Jambalaya, and I gladly eat that.

As if the cauliflower crust isn’t enough?

Red, yellow and orange for chili. Not a big fan of green bell peppers.

I think this is the main reason so many of us are traumatized by the thought of green bell peppers:

yikes. haven't seen one of those in decades

Im wary of these new specialty pies Pepe tries to get into, but then again the last one (meatball/Riggot) is a great pie. Id try it.

Meatballs are not chicken. Already fully cooked chicken breast dried out even more in a pizza oven, no thanks. I think chicken "meatballs" might fly, much as I find those insipid.

All depends on the filling, IMO.

Yeah I will unapologetically admit I like good stuffed peppers

Green bell peppers are 1/3 of the Trinity, which is the foundation of most all Creole cuisine. And Creole cuisine is mostly delicious, so they do serve a purpose.

And yes, I'm a heathen who will add them to a cheesesteak, for texture as much as taste.

Not necessarily. Just never liked the taste of the green bell pepper. I'll eat them if they are unavoidable but will dance around them if I can. I will absolutely terrorize those carb free diet red/yellow/red peppers stuffed with ground beef, tomatoes and cheese.

The meatball and ricotta is killer.

Agreed.

My aunt made the good ones. My step-mother not so much.

 

[superjohn]

You guys inspired me to make stuffed chorizo peppers tonight, delicious.

 

[HooperScooper]

When did this turn into the pepper thread? Back to pizza.

 

[David 76]

Agreed.

No sausage and peppers for you?

Long hots >>>>>>> green bell peppers.

I’ll eat them in a good sausage and peppers. The only ones I don’t like are roasted red peppers, which is a totally different thing for me. I like Baci’s at sausage and peppers at Lobster Landing because he uses mostly red, orange and yellow peppers in his.

I don’t like peppers on pizza though, unless they are spicy peppers.

Long hots >>>>>>> green bell peppers.

Yeah I totally dig these with sausage. Portofino in New Haven does a great job with that dish.

 

[HCCForever]

My mom used to make sausage and peppers as well as a few different versions of stuffed green peppers. All dishes were exceptional. Thanks for reminding me.

To me, green peppers on pizza is my least favorite topping.

I've only had Mike's twice. Once to go and once there. I found it to be better than Zupp's and right in the conversation with the New Haven legends. The Meatball was outstanding. Understand that the place is a dive, filled with character. Really nice owner, his sister is the waitress, and she is worth the price of admission, great stories

As far as the non-pizza offerings, I have never tried any of them although I have to say that the couple seated at a table nearby us had some sort of pasta and meatball dish that looked absolutely out of this world.

Found Mike's to be ideal for watching a Giants game and eating pizza, at least to the extent that there could be anything ideal about watching a Giants game.

This is my idea of a good stuffed pepper
