OT: Best Pizza in CT

An update to my Q.

As I was approaching NH on I-95 about 3pm over the weekend, I found that Sallys takes tel orders. I waited on hold for 5-10 minutes, and finally placed large peperoni order. They said I could pick it up at 7:30 - 4 hrs from then! Screw that. Called Modern (opens after 3 on Sundays) 4-5 times, but no one answered phone - busy. So called Pepe. They took order and I picked it up 20 minutes later - just enuff drive time to get there. Amen. Had 2-3 slices in car while wife drove - great!

My experience with Modern is that you usually have to call several times to get through with the phone either being busy or them just hanging up immediately. But once you do get a human, it's a pickup in 20 minutes without fail.

yes. Have not had issue w them in past. or Pepe.
 
My parents are going to Clinton next week and have been trying to get some recommendations for good restaurants that won't break the bank and are looking for a good pizza place for when a friend of theirs visits. They are interested in good pizza and good garlic parmesan wings (I am too hoping they bring some back to VA... where I live, sadly the best garlic parmesan wings are Domino's unless I drive for an hour or 1 1/2 hours)
 
Ciao on Rt 80. Great pizzas. Red and white options. They were known as [chow] for years but seems they slanted toward Italian now.

Forget the rest of these people - they’re just shouting out names without considering the nature of the request.

Just reading the tea leaves, I would say that your parents and their would really enjoy Mystic Pizza.

If your senior citizen parents are visiting Connecticut, what are they gonna remember and tell their friends back home?

We had a slightly above average pizza in a Connecticut strip mall or we went to a great waterfront town in New England and do you remember that movie Mystic Pizza?! We went there!

The rest of these dolts are trying to impress people on the internet with their knowledge of mid-grade pizza places while I am trying to create a story and a lasting memory.

They're looking for good food. They're not like you who would eat sauce and American cheese on cardboard and say it's fine.

Yes, everyone is very impressed with your tastes in literally the simplest foods imaginable. Waiting for you simpletons to start fetishizing PB&J. You've already hit pizza, Mac and cheese and grilled cheese, so it's a natural next step.

Someone put $87 worth of truffles on a peanut butter sandwich - I think some of these folks have some money left over from their $18 triple-diple IPAs and they'll hand it over without much of a fuss.
 
If you didn't know Fishy's got stock in Mystic Pizza Corp.
If they decide to drive to Mystic, fine, I agree.

If they want to stay in the Madison/Clinton area - Grand Apizza in Clinton is a good choice, Donahue's in Madison for burgers and American fare, Harwire Burgers just across the Clinton line in Westbrook as is Bills Seafood at the Singing Bridge in Westbrook

They plan on enjoying many restaurants, but they also have some friends coming who hate seafood. When they get together, they usually go to a pizza place or cheap Italian restaurant.
They have been to Mystic Pizza several times. We all moved to VA in 2004 to be close to my brother who was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma at the time (he's been cancer free ever since his treatment). When my dad was younger he spent time in Clinton when he was a lifeguard and they are going up there to reconnect with the area and meet some old friends.

They got pizza from Grand Apizza once before and it was burnt. A couple we know down here, who stay there every year on their way to the Cape also mentioned Palmeiri's (sorry if that's spelled wrong).

I don’t know. I checked their Yelp page and the five star review from last month seems to validate Fishy’s recc.

Have they been down there so long that they don't know the difference between charred and burnt?

You're going off 1 Yelp review? That could have been Fishy for all we know. Lol.

Looks like my neighborhood Greek pizza that I refuse to eat.

The review makes the same points as his recommendation. A great blend of pizza, pleasant service and movie memorabilia. I don’t know. Sounds like what the original post was looking for.
