OT: Best Pizza in CT

[BigErnMcCracken]

This looks worse than the pizzas my mom would make me as a kid: English muffin, pasta sauce, and a slice of american cheese.

that's what immediately came to mind, those garbaggio "english muffin pizzas" that kids ate back in the day.

Still better than most of her "chicken" that was oess flavorful than coarboard and twice as difficult to chew.

The good moms always classed ot up with bagels in the oven at least

Sounds like she at least used an oven. The problem was moms and grannies used to boil everything. Boil the chicken and then boil the veggies so they turn into Gerber.

And getting proper char on a boiled pizza crust is damn near impossible.

one thing that other parts of the country try to do with pizza (and it's universally terrible) is to make it sweeter.

reminds me a little bit of new hampshire-style beach pizza, where the sauce is sweetened with orange soda. it's basically inedible.

That looks like the pizza my high school used to serve.

Went to Zuppardi’s today. Was at IKEA getting some stuff and called in a fresh clam pie.

Said it before and I’ll say it again. The best apizza out there. King of the hill.

It is. Tomato sauce on bread with a slice of provolone.

The site is "Fine Dining" and the sponsor is San Pellegrino, so take that into account, along with the following criteria:

How are the pizzerias ranked?​

The ranking is the result of a year of anonymous inspections of pizzerias located thoroughout the US by 50 Top Pizza inspectors. The pizzerias are assessed on quality of the dough and toppings, service, the wine and beer lists and customer service.

You think Pepe's or Sally's are going to make a list based on wine/beer lists and customer service?

Well, ya can always go w/ yellow government cheese if provolone doesn’t do it for ya.

Why would anyone in their right mind rank a pizza based on the beer selection? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

Yeah, that list isn't ranking the best tasting pizza, which is mostly what I care about.

I've only been to a hand full of those places. Pasquale's is good local pizza in the Narragansett area, but if that's the 33rd best pizza in the U.S. then this country is a serious pizza wasteland!

That list is for people who eat pizza with a fork ;-)

weird. can see a comment when unsigned in, but can't when signed in.
anyway, that comment said something like that review thing is for people who eat pizza with a fork. i say 'that review is for people who are dorks.'

international pizza review dorkiness, on full display:
He’s the anonymous man who knows where to find the best pizza in Hong Kong
the guys method of evaluation is legit tho his judgement is burdened by a lack of holyland experience. better than that review where pizza 'chefs' are crying becuz they got to meet a bogus 'champion' hash slinger whose all aboot the public relations. sad.
check out most of the photos which bear a striking similarity to what us
BY bon vivant chow savants would call 'bowling alley pizza.'
Connecticut za rules. everywhere else is an abitz dessert.

I live in CO, and that's just embarrasing.

Wife and I actually went to a Pizza Hut Saturday. We were driving home, happened to see one and hit it on a nostalgic whim.

Boy was I every sorry. Truly is the McDonald's of pizza, you ask me. Worse than Domino's, Little Caesar's and Papa John's and Sbarro......although all of 'em more or less serve a combination of ingredients loosely organized to resemble the wonderful thing we gather here to debate, as opposed to the thing itself.

Never again.

Sbarro always struck me as a cut above those others. I am 100 % in agreement on Pizza Hut though. The last time I had it was about 30 years ago, and for good reason.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Had Dominoes last night...don't ask why. It was worse than it has been in the past. Got Brooklyn crust, which is their best iteration.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

whoa, three on a match. pizza hut, dominoes, and, in my case, mystic frozen pizza. not sure why, but seeing it in the freezer, next to some ice cream that i stopped in the local market to buy, i thought 'never had that before. let's check it out.'
i like to compare apples to apples, and so, like all frozens that i make, i juiced it up with the usual add ons -extra cheese, mushrooms, garlic, and such. and, it being a 'local' product, i was already favorably predisposed to not be too critical, and i generally like most frozens for what they are.

this was inedible, and the mark left on my soul is indelible. evil bad, and i actually tossed the remainder into the trash, which almost never happens for me. check that -never.

got english muffin za with tomato sauce and sliced cheese? i'll eat it and say 'not bad.' not this stuff. horrific.
as usual, it always starts with the crust. this was not crust. it may not even be dough. the box said 'with uncured pepperoni,' whatever that means. all i know is that it should say 'uncivilized cracker thing.'
gross.

Did you have to assemlble the pizza yourself?

No but I surely disassembled it pretty quickly.

Definitely top 3 in the underrated department. That sourdough crust is sublime. Sadly, very few ‘yarders would travel to the southwestern most part of CT to try it.
