OT: Best Pizza in CT

Being over rated and over priced is not nonsense. It’s still decent pizza but not much better if at all, than other pizza places throughout the state that make a similar pie nowadays for as much as 50% less. I think $35 for a large pizza with two toppings at Sally’s is outrageous, not to mention driving an hour to New Haven.

Thanks wise @ ss, there’s a few places in Derby,Shelton, Ansonia that are just as good as NH, and are cheaper. If I want to drive I’ll head right by NH to Buffalina in Guilford or Jimmies in Milford. If I have to go to NH, I’ll head for Ernies or Zuppardis.

Had Zuppardis this weekend. It was fantastic.

It’s the only place in Greater New Haven that still hasn’t dropped a notch or two (in Pepe’s case, three notches) and hasn’t raised their prices. Also Zupp’s is the only place in the state that still makes their own sausage.

Well I paid about $100 with tip for 2 Clam and a Sausage. So no need to raise the price. Glad they had a loan officer on site

Lol Jimmy's in Milford. I've eaten it many of times having lived in Milford and I wouldn't put it in top 20 of the shoreline

Roseland is the only place comparable to NH

I was thinking of Roseland when I mentioned the Valley, but have always liked Jimmies and Buffalina too. I’d take a $15 Jimmies plain large pie any day over the Pepe’s medium sausage & mushroom pie in I had in Danbury last week, which cost me $25.

But you ate well. If at Sally’s add about 30-35% to your bill, at Modern about 20%. Forget Pepe’s. You’re not paying mucho bucks for a quality pie, you’re paying the “New Haven” pizza premium. Lol

Yes. On Prime now. It’s a really well-done documentary about the origins of New Haven Apizza with a sole focus on Sally’s, Pepe’s and Modern.
Expand ...
Prime prices too. I’d rather buy a Pro Kitchen Aid mixer, a big piece of marble, and a decent pizza stone.

I haven't tried it but does Apate's rank? Heard good things.

So tempted, but can't ever get there after passing Sallys and Pepes.

Why would you come to a best pizza in CT thread and complain about paying $20 for a pizza at Pepe’s or Sally’s?

$20???? Are you high? Try $30, $35 or even $40 for a freshly shucked large white clam pie. Three large pie’s with various toppings to feed a large family costs $100 or more. You’re not paying for the best pizza in the state you’re paying for the perception of such. Overrated and overpriced.

because 'best' (the thread title) is a relative, and not an absolute, description, so therefore if someone who weighs in decides that cost is part of their criteria to decide on 'best,' then obviously it is a valid observation for them. those restaurants named by the poster are a ripoff, according to my criteria for deciding on a product and it's price, in my decision on 'best.' im guessing that you don't have a couple of 'pizza' ovens, both indoors and outdoors, kicking around ur house to make za equal to, or better than, those places.
 
Got the Detroit pizza from Joey’s in West Hartford tonight. Disclaimer: I’ve never had real Detroit pizza.

Really enjoyed it. A lot. Thick and fluffy but chewy with a burned cheese edge. Really good sauce and minimal cheese on top. Is even go as far as saying it was worth a bit of a drive. Unique to anything I know is available around here.

Yeah when it comes to freshly shucked clams it’s definitely best to shop for bargains. You might even find some day old ones they want to get rid of.

Our last time at Pepe's (2019) we ordered two pies for the table. I needed one of them to be a white clam. I still haven't lived that one down. The clams smelled of low tide and tasted like they were in a 5-gallon bucket since the previous week.
 
Main Street, East Haven. I tried a small Buffalo chicken pizza from Aniello's Pizza (Same plaza as Stop and Shop). Great char and edge crust was excellently crunchy. I will return.

So, I never get to contribute to this thread. But my wife stopped to see friends in CT and brought me back pizza from this place. Quite a nice Gorgonzola, Prosciutto and fig pie.

Love that combo. I had grilled figs stuffed with Gorgonzola and wrapped with prosciutto on Wednesday for lunch; and we had that combo (with baby arugula) on a pizzette as an appetizer at dinner in Providence last week.

ughh, figs on pizza, but to be fair, i checked to see if that happens in italia. it does, so there's that.
50 Most Popular Italian Pizzas - TasteAtlas
what i can't seem to find on this list is any pizza with any kind of chicken on it, cuz, you know, chicken on a pizza is absolutely not an italian taste. and, in general, chicken and melted cheese is also not an italian thing. travel around italia for a few weeks, and it's sooo obvious. beeeeyond gross as it sits unhealthily in our digestion. italy knows good and healthy food, especially things that belong, and things that don't, so i'll cut u some slack on the fig thing. taste is truly personal.
