OT: Best Pizza in CT

I will repeat my attraction to East Haven's downtown pizzeria, Minervini's. The crust is crackish to me.
 
I was up at Mount Snow last weekend and there is a brewery in Wilmington Valley Craft Ales. Head brewer is from CT and makes specifically Apizza per the menu. Got a pepperoni/onion/jalapeño/ricotta pie and it was very solid. If you ever ski mount snow this place is worth a try

Had Crust Issues in Norwalk tonight, definitely one of the more unique tasting pizzas I've had as the crust tastes like and has the texture of focaccia bread. Very good tho and they will be added to the rotation

There’s a new place in downtown Willimantic called Trigo. Only been once so far but the pizza was exceptional. Wood fired ovens, thin crust and some interesting pies.

Went to Trigo before the Nova game. First visit but not last. Pie was exceptional. Locally sourced ingredients cooked to perfection. 8.4

Okay so an exceptional, perfectly-cookie pie with local ingredients only scores an 8.4 for you?

I started making pizza in my over at home about a year ago. I figured out how to make New Haven thin style crust, but could never get the sauce right. I deliberately avoided using sugar in my sauce all year because the pizza here in Buffalo, with the exception of 2 places, is heavy on sugar. It's really sickly sweet, which is why I don't eat it. I make about 4 trips to New Haven each year, we were there just last week, I went into Sally's and noticed for the first time that there's a pretty mild amount of sugar in the sauce. So, I made pizza last night and added a little bit of sugar. And there it was, I finally replicated a New Haven pizza.

Also made a sliced potato, onion, pecorino, mozz, pizza with red pepper flakes, lemon and oilve oil to finish it.

Well… “Three Brothers will serve Greek-style pizza using dough and fresh ingredients that are made from scratch, according to Kangal”

Oh, maybe I’ll try it when I’m up that way.

Hell yes. Fake it til you make it. The 'joy of cooking' is appreciating (learning from) your mistakes.

Honestly, if I could go back in time, besides being a carpenter, I'd be a chef. To hell with IT.

I love cooking, grilling, and smoking. I find it mostly relaxing and cathartic, but I don't know how much I would like doing it for hours on end, everyday, for other people of varying standards ranging into the impossible.

I tried Pepe’s in Delray Beach FL. The white clam pie was just as good as the ones in CT. I received $10 credit using their app for first time so small pie and peroni beer was $15 before tip

It was great day until transmission issues on. I95 but still worth the drive,

I find the "new" Pepe's locations in CT are hit or miss. Elmwood is blahh, Mohegan is solid, especially that same white clam pie.

Pepe’s in Danbury is hit or miss. I’ve had pizza’s there that were meh and other times pizzas that were just like New Haven. It depends on who the bakers are.

I’m always satisfied with the white clam pie in CT. I usually go to Mohegan or Manchester. I’ve been to Waterbury but had something different with the wife. I have been to Elmwood but that was over 10 years ago but the fresh tomato pie was good.

Went to Modern on Friday. Was the first time in about a decade, and it's still excellent.

Stopped by Sally's in Stamford this afternoon on the way back to NYC. First time at that location, and it was fine. Not as good as the original spot (the only Sally's I've been to) but a good to very good representation of proper New Haven-style apizza.

I'm sure it'll get better as the oven gets more seasoned.
 
Had a mustard pizza on Good Friday... I'm having trouble trying to rationalize why someone had the notion to put spicy mustard into the dough...it shouldn't work, but surprisingly it didn't suck. Still not as good as Sally's anchovy pizza, which is my favorite.

How in the hell is San Diego in the top 5 lmaooo

Tribute in North Park is one of the best places in the country but that alone doesn’t put SD top 5. I spent all 7 of my years there looking for pizza that stacks up, and there are only a few
 
CT Pizza DVR Alert: April 17 - 4pm Turner Classic Movie - Splendor in the Grass

Angelina, the New Haven Pizza Princess, steals Warren Beatty from Natalie Wood. While many considered Angelina's victory an upset....she should have been considered the favorite with New Haven Apizza on her side.

Westport has a pizza place named Angelina's. Has this pie & movie been properly reviewed on the 'yard?

1961 film far superior to Mystic Pizza.
