OT: Best Pizza in CT

Just looked at photos from that Tony's place in SF... Boy, I'm gonna have to brave the traffic, parking, prices, etc. and explore that. Someday.
 
Now that I think of it, I have been to some pizza parlor in North Beach, but it was long ago, don't remember if it was Tony's or not.

Tony's is pretty famous. You'd probably know if you were there. It has a bunch of different kinds of pizzas (New York, coal fired, Detroit, Napoletana, Sicilian, etc.) on the menu and they say what degrees it is cooked at. The menu is huge.

I was gonna say, you absolutely should. Not sure if you checked out the menu but there’s a reason they’re consistently rated among the top in the country

Not sure if they count as north beach since they’re up on the hill on the Chinatown/Little Italy border but hey

She did the same thing over 20 years ago with Louis' Lunch and their hamburger. You're right, it's incredibly lame.

To be fair, Louis Lunch is ridiculous. A flattened meatball between wonder bread and no ketchup? The line between child and adulthood is the preference between ketchup and barbeque sauce, but for a restaurant to tell anyone what they should prefer (and for that preference to be neither), as if it compromises the integrity of the [ground beef] (IYKYK).

Get the [heck] outta here with that!!!

Besides, Ted's is a 1/2 hour closer. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I actually get that. The objective founding/invention place of anything as monumental as the hamburger is totally fine to claim for the sake of history. North Carolina gets to claim it’s the birthplace of man-made flight.

But some subjective “capital of xyz” claim is a total joke. Hopefully it doesn’t lead to other cringe like Chicago being the capital of hot dogs, or SD being the capital of tacos (even though it is), or SF being the capital of sushi

Sure it's different but it's also lame, people were obviously eating hamburgers way before Louis Lassen started selling them.

And that was stolen from CT as the Wright brothers were not the first to fly - were beaten by a group in Bridgeport... Was Connecticut First in Flight?

Nowadays of the big three, Modern definitely makes the best pie. Although my favorite will always be Zupp’s in West Haven, my wife and I love ordering there and then heading to the beach, weather permitting, which is right down the road. Heading to Pepe’s in Fairfield this Saturday, I’ll have a review.

Ok, so we headed to Pepe’s in Fairfield last Saturday and I have to say I was very pessimistic about what the pizza would be like. All I can say is Dave Portnoy has to go there and give a review. I thought it was excellent, definitely better than the last Pepe’s pizza I had in Danbury a few months back. I had the sausage and mushroom and I thought it was close to an 8.6. The manager runs the place like a ship, and it’s a great ship. This pizza, and the service, the ambiance of the place, reminded me of the old Pepe’s I remember going to 50 years ago.

Honestly if you gave me the Fairfield Pepe's and the New Haven Pepe's blindfolded I doubt I could tell the difference. It's exceptional.

I've been telling people for a long time, Fairfield Pepes is excellent. I eat there occasionally and get take out all the time (can make R/T from Norwalk in less than 30 minutes w/o traffic), can't remember the last time I had a pie that wasn't excellent.

The oven is now almost 20 years old, so its properly seasoned. And for a long time, the pizza makers in Fairfield had to put in a few years in New Haven prior to working there. 9.2!

I live 1 mile from Sapore. Portnoy gave it a 7.9/8.1 this week. I gave it a 6.2. Dude is a hack. I love his propping of CT pizza, so I will take it, but what a

Obviously no disrespect to you, but you understand he’s eaten maybe 25,000 more pizza slices than you. Right?
