It has been a while QDOG! All is well, thanks. Hope all is well with you and yours too. Did not know you were a T-Town guy! I am New Hartford born and raised and spent the majority of my formative years in Torrington. My family owned the liquor store in the Torrington Parkade where I worked from the mid '80s to early '90s. I'm sure we probably crossed paths at some point! The Berk was always our "go to". It's slipped a bit, but still really good. Hope you get a Marzano pie!

Love the Berkshire Pub pie and salad very good stop. This means I will need to try Pizzaria Marzano now I guess!

You guys remember Murph that worked for the fire department and Al that always wore the tie? Who was the bartender, blonde whose name escapes me? Good kid, good looking?
 
I know Murph, he was a year behind me in school. Not sure about Al or the bartender but I moved out to Chicago in
'85. I'll ask my buddies who still live in the area.

We only met Murph because a few of us traveled down to Harwinton 7-8 times a year at Fairview Farms which always made the Berk Pub our 19th hole. Kind of regulars of plus we’d buy the locals beers a lot because they were so welcoming. And he was always there!

@August_West, congrats on the nuptials and the invite but unfortunately I won't be able to make it in from Chicago. Since you're my go to music guy can you tell me a little bout the band the band Goose. They are coming out here in April and the shows are already sold out. Should I scalp and go see them?
Expand ...
Saw goose at PITS this month. Great music if it’s in your wheelhouse. I loved both sets but thought the second set was a little more phishy than the first but that could have been because weir joined them for a few songs in the 1st set. Definitely worth checking out.

There are yarders already getting the save the date, @8893 wont post anymore but hes coming! there will be more yarders there. And maybe more yarders for the after hours portion even ( as we dont want most of you at the proper wedding ;-) ....

So here are the deetz. Wedding at Home - Smith Farm Gardens. Wedding starts at 2:00 pm. Cocktail hour 3:-4:30 Dinner 4:30-5:30, Wedding band and debauchery until 8:30 . Thats when the wedding officially stops...... Then the wedding is officially over and a second stage 100 yards from wedding tent sets as a jamband fest (with people who would melt the minds of people who know) from 8:30 on......when the electric stage has to shut down, then there is an acoustic firepit. The Zuppardis truck running from 7-11. Sorry for partying last time I got married was in a church. This time it's for me (us). Figure out the date and show up after 8 and you could get your own pie.

got it.
from the kindness of ur heart, ur throwing a big shindig afterparty for your pals al and murph's nuptials, in Torrington at a liquor store named the berkshire pub. free za (on topic!) will be had, as we are entertained by the mellow notes of 'grateful goosefish.' seems like roasting marshmellows will also be on the agenda.
sweeeeet. plus 137 if u need a headcount for the napkins.
one question tho - will we also be getting covid? iirc, that was a parting gift at your last soiree. it would be nice to include 'bring your own bucket' on the invite if that's the case.
and since ur all Connecticut country now, could you ask grateful goosefish to play this one? it allways makes the folks jump up, and break out in the quickstep.


congratulations.
 
Has anyone ordered non-CT pizza from Goldbelly? Got a giftcard and ready to pull the trigger, I had New Haven style pizza from there in the past that was decent but want to give something else a try.

As someone who works in Fairfield, the pizza game is very weak there. Nauti Dolphin is meh, Luigi's is solid, Sally's was terrible, Planet Pizza is bad, Pepe's can be great or awful depending on the day.

Testo's Pizza, formerly Three Corner is legit.

No love for Steffano's? Great pie, been there for ages.
 
Went to Sally's after the UConn women's game in New Haven. A Uconn friend who now lives in SLC and his gf were visiting and they wanted to go so we waited an hour to get in. Got a small clam pie, the white potato pie with bacon and a tomato and mozzarella with sausage. Thought they were good, nothing blew me away. I like Modern's take on the clam pizza with hot peppers and bacon although I could have probably just asked for it. Thought the service was pretty mediocre. So many good pizza places in the area that it's hard to justify waiting in line for that long but it seemed like Pepe's just down the road also had a decent line to get in around 4pm.

i noticed that, down the street, the capitol avenue brick oven place has changed names, and assumedly, owner.
have you tried it since? any reviews?
tho al is technically in fairdale, that Bridgeport neighborhood/intersection is a fascinating microhood. ya got tree corner, the lotto boys store, the jets barber, subway, the kung place, and the new packy, making that area a beehive of activity every single weekday afternoon.

Haven't tried the former Brick Oven. You're either a Three Corner guy or a Brick Oven guy....

Regarding the neighborhood, the takeout Chinese place up Wood Ave a couple blocks is excellent.

i think that when a new Bridgeport police officer signs the first contract, they are surprised to read the section stating 'all your lunches must be purchased at that chinese restaurant.' lol. that place is famous.
im friendly with the nice lady who has the jamaican place across the street. also popular with fans of jerk chicken.
'chicken de china, the chinese chicken, have a drumstick and ur brain stops ticking....'
not me, chinese, jamaican, or otherwise. pretty funny to learn that the one chinese chicken dish i sometimes like, general tsao's, was arguably invented here in the US. fortune cookies, too. SF and LA are still arguing aboot who had it first.
 
Just had some pizza at the Aqua Turf yesterday at a school event. Was damn good. Thin crust, crunchy, a bit tough and non-gooey cheese. Just the way I like it. Should’ve asked if they made the pizza in-house or had it delivered.

Love jerk chicken; I will have to try that place. I drive by it all the time. There's hundreds of Jamaican joints in Bpt, so hard to know which ones to try.

“Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has added some heat to its menu, featuring a limited-time chicken diavolo pizza through March 26.

The new pizza features oven-roasted chicken coated in hot sauce, white onions and Gorgonzola cheese, along with mozzarella, Pecorino Romano and a drizzle of olive oil”

Thread just ain’t the same without @8893 …

I never thought I'd live to see the day that Pepe's serves up a Buffalo Chicken pizza and tries to pass it off as fancy.

Also 100% agreed, the pizza thread needs @8893

It likely came from the Back Nine at Southington Country Club. Same family.
