OT: Best Pizza in CT

[Kolumbo]

Help me out here.... So I'm on r/pittsburgh, and someone posts this picture. And a guy who says he's from New Haven County insists this is a Greek pizza. I've never seen a Greek pizza in CT or MA that wasn't cut in squares. Am I wrong about that? (tbomk, we do not have Greek pizza out here).

Ours were always cut in squares but the cheese, oh, that's Greek. No matter how it's cut, it ends up in your gut!

I've never seen Connecticut Greek pizza cut in squares, it's always slices. Just had some when I was back in CT, the Greek pizza in the pic is undercooked.

I saw a similar debate about the shape of pizza slices on FB. That never bothered me either way but I read that you can order pie cut if you want triangles or Chicago or party cut if you want squares.

Greek pizza is soooo good... but it definitely sits a little different in the belly... It's a greasy pizza.. but it's good ( eat every once in awhile )

John’s Best in Brookfield is interesting, it’s a cross between the Greek style and the New Haven style.

Hope Street Pizza used to do the grid cut, but now cuts both ways, depending on what side of the bed they woke up on that day. Kind of strange.

My favorite Greek style in the area, Post Corner Pizza in Darien, only cuts triangular slices.

Has anyone tried the Sally’s Apizza Stamford location yet, and if so, how does it rate to the original in New Haven? Not as good I’m sure but is it somewhat comparable?

I’m in Stamford and have visited about eight times. The output has been seriously uneven. I’ve had pies that were spectacularly close to the Wooster Street versions, solid pies were delicious but a step below the original, and one pie that had me wishing I’d stayed away from downtown and picked up from Mario the Baker or Belltown Pizzeria instead.

Yorkside Pizza in New Haven would sell pizza like that. I was there to play Donkey Kong and Dugger in the basement.

Place was the best pre-Toads. Saw some Ramones eating their once pre show.

Used to be a place in Madison, Village Pizza, that cut it into squares. They had a fire that forced them to close, bringing Grand Apizza to town eventually and sparing the children of Madison from Greek pizza squares at birthday parties from then on.

Like the 4 triangle pieces the most! The center 4 least.

Olympic Pizza in Glastonbury is the worst Greek pizza on the planet!

Yorkside before and Educated Burger after Toads.

Man, now remembering fondly, eating Yorkside Pizza slices out on York Street, with the members of Third World back around 1987. Good times.

That looks a lot like what Paul's Pizza in Vernon used to look like.

I went back in July. It's not an "old school" pizza experience. You order on a flat screen, there's no real pizza smell to the place, it's a modern industrial space, and the pizza, while better than your average mom & pop, didn't shine like the original. Bit of a let down, IMO.

Interesting. I didn't think a wedge cut could support the weight. I haven't been to Hope St in about a decade, and Post Corner for probably 30 years, but IIRC both did exclusively square cuts back in the day, at least on large pizzas (I was always with a group).

It doesn’t! Even on a small with broccoli and olives at Post Corner, I have to tilt the slice back towards my wrist. Otherwise, everything (including the cheese) slides off!
