OT: Best Pizza in CT

Another question, how many people were on the bus? or buses?

Exactly. 140 would be more than one pizza/player. Seemed ridiculous until I remembered seeing the fat bastards filling their tray and going back for seconds.

I wouldn't want to be the person who has to clean those buses out.

Trenton does the pie bass ackwards with the meat and cheese on the dough and then the sauce as the last topping, right? That's really a Chicago deep dish. But does Trenton do it deep dish or do they do it regular crust?

New Haven style pizza is great. Not my favorite, but I like it. I've not heard anything that suggests NJ is at the forefront of innovation in pizza cuisine. What am I missing?

I’ll pass on that recipe, unless they’re putting on a little oil on the dough first, then the meat & cheese, then the sauce. Putting meat and cheese directly on the thin crust dough first seems wrong with respect to how the ingredients mix during cooking.

Played Goodwin Park yesterday and then stopped at First and Last down the road. Few beers couple pies they were very good!!

First course I ever broke 90, when I was 16 I think.

At that age, I would also eat a large pizza myself, and a lunchtime small pie when we could go off-campus for lunch was $1.50 at many places.

Brings back nice memories. We used to play Goody as Hartford kids for a quarter with our golf cards. I'll never forget that tricky green on the 7th on the Hackers course. I never did have a pizza at First and Last but downed a few PBRs with friends a while back.
 
Just remembered/realized there is a Pepe here in Watertown MA. Anyone been? Has the Sally’s in Woburn started getting better since opening?

Yes, been to both. The Pepe's was fine. Didn't notice any difference from Chestnut Hill. It's in a little outdoor lifestyle shopping center.

Haven't been to Sally's in Woburn in almost a year. One, I don't like that they put very little cheese on their pizza. And two, they pissed me off that they charge about 20% more than Pepe's because they're now owned by a money grabbing company. So not going again is my middle finger to them.

Other than its clam pizza, Pepe’s is overrated. In New Haven, I prefer Modern. In greater New Haven, Bobby’s on Rte 80 in North Branford has been, and remains, my go-to for 38 years, even though I have lived in Farmington for the past twelve.

Spot on. A few weeks ago I called ahead and ordered both Pepes and Modern to bring to a friend's house for football. Everyone chose Modern as the better pie.

Yeah we live up in Cambridge right now but went down to the Chase bank nearby to open a new account, traffic was bad going back to Cambridge, stuck around and loved that little area. Like a mini Assembly Row. The bar next door was solid. I would never expect this Pepe to be anything close to New Haven, but even a 5/10 Pepe is probably better than most pizza (forget Apizza) here.

We are thinking of moving up north to that general area, and I was curious if it’s at least serviceable, as with Pepe, I figure a 5/10 Sally’s is better than most here. But I appreciate that. Probably won’t be pushing to try them for now. But will definitely be trying Pepe

I had never heard of Bobby’s Apizza until a friend recommended it to me recently when I visited Caius Farm Brewery, a couple of miles away. Very solid pie. Good char. I wouldn’t drive out of the way for it, but quality was good.

Try this place if you're up on 495. Really good. Only issue is that you can't eat it there (the place is very small with no seating) and it doesn't taste as good bringing it home since we're 35 minutes away. So eating in the car was the best we could do.

Oh please believe. I’ve been aware of this place for about a year now. We are going to mount snow next weekend and I know we are stopping here on the way back.

^ Quite by accident, I found this in a file folder that collected many of my most notable concert and sporti g events ticket stubs. Way too off-topic to get into the details in this thread., but also Draft lottery results & Selective Service status, results from taking the GMAT, which I didn't recall ever doing.

Goodie? You okay? Did you get let go from your job? Lose a bet?

Do you remember when that First & Last was just the bar side with a pot of sauce and meatballs and you'd get shells to go?

I like the layout actually pretty fun course. Meriden kid running the pro shop these days as well. Just played it for the first time ever last year and I’ve played it 5-6 times since.

Interesting. It's pretty flat with really no trouble anywhere. Not long. No woods or OB. You can run most approach shots up onto a green with nothing protecting it. You must tear it up there.

I don’t tear anything up any more Deep lol. Don’t hit it far enough off the tee but not awful. Shot 79 with 4 three putts (new Cameron center shaft I broke out it’s already in the “extra” bag again). The tees need work at Goodie but I do like it. I did throw a 73 in there a couple months ago probably for all the reasons you mentioned ;)

This is something I made last night. Bread machine pizza dough, Aldi pepperoni and pizza sauce, mozzarella, parm. 10 minute bake, cost less than $3.
Better than Pepe’s, less doughy, crisper.
Goodbye $28 pizza.

Ummm. It doesn’t look or sound better than Pepe’s.

This looks fantastic but c'mon man, it's not better than Pepe's.

A lot of people talk about Caius, but I've been there 3 times and each time, I was one of 4 or 5 people. Great beer, I wonder why it's not packed.
