OT: Best Pizza in CT

[j66kicker]

I also found the new Pepe's places are hit or miss. Not impressed wth W. Htfd place either.... I do like Mohegan. Especially their signature white clam pie.

Yeah, true. But I've been to the WH store 4-5 times and it's always been a spot-on ditto imitation of NH. ?? This visit was early in the day (noon-ish) - maybe the oven wasn't full hot yet confused: ??)

FWIW, I thought Manchester nailed the crust the last time I was there..

I’ve said it before somewhere in these 356 pages, don’t sleep on this spot.

Check out WE, THE PIZZA | Restaurant & Delivery | Capitol Hill DC + Arlington VA ... miss that place

I wouldn't consider We, The Pizza good. It's a great bang for your buck for a grab and go lunch. Every time I am up in the Crystal City area I stop by there for lunch one day.

I would posit that there are now the seven sisters of New Haven area pizza:
Pepe's
Sally's
Modern
Bar
Zuppardi's
Ernie's
Zenelli's

Making Atticus the 8th wonder of the New Haven area on the days they make pizza

I’ve only had it once but wasn’t impressed. Roseland and even Bartones are better options in Derby imo

Just in case anyone on the board is interested AND has the minimum requirements:

"Frisco pizza is hiring full time, part time, pizza maker,start ASAP apply in person,345 Forbes ave,minimum 5 years experience in new haven style pizza. Great pay...

"

Hear me out. Most every OT thread sits on the main Men's hoop board for a day, maybe two. Then it goes somewhere else more appropriate. Yet this one has stuck around now for years. At this point? Most of the posts are:

1) How overrated Pepe's or Sally's is now. Or how the non-New Haven branches are awful.
2) About pizza places not even in CT. Do we really need to discuss pizza options in Indiana or Tennessee?
3) About some place or comment that was already discussed ten times over at some point. No one is going back to see if a spot has comments on it already. No one reads the past posts.

On one hand, you can say it's no big deal. It's not hurting anyone. On the other hand, you could also say it's mostly just noise by now with very, very, very limited useful info (Great, so and so poster got a pizza in Ellington that was overdone). The season is almost here and we'll have bigger topics to discuss. Why do we still have this thing kicking around?

 

[Kenny11]

I agree but there could be some unforeseen pizza developments in the future that trigger a revival. Maybe a "Pizza Thread 2" ?

 

[mussels]

No.

Once the season starts and we have a bad game, or a bad stretch, the pizza thread is the only place on the board to find refuge.

 

[Waquoit]

It would be like when they took the gusto out of Schlitz.

Tradition that serves what purpose? How would not having it change anything related to UConn basketball?

It's a Boneyard tradition.

 

[prankster]

Ahhhh Geeze!

Now we've got a Pizza thread about the Pizza thread.

Deepster's head has become a dense tangle of kudzu vines.

 

[Horatio]

Never

 

[Kitaman]

Ignore and report the thread:

 

[Huskyforlife]

There’s a button that allows you to ignore threads, this thread is personally a good candidate for me.

 

[TRest]

I will never eat at Bufalina, but feel like I have through those who posted about it. Having said that, people are now discussing pizza joints from a decade ago in Virginia. Kill it with fire.

It's won at least as many championships as you claim you have.

Did you wanna buy a pizza place?

 

[Bezzz]

I don't know why I click on this thread every day, but I do. There's is something to be said for telling my friends and relatives that we've got a thread about pizza that's been going for 14 years with 9k posts. Nobody else has that.

 

[Hoophound]

I like this thread. There's a lot more to it than pizza. People discuss their travel plans, the atmosphere in these places, events that led them there etc. DIscussing our pizza likes and dislikes reveals a lot of other stuff. I've learned a lot from it and I've tried some of the places mentioned as a result. Camille's in Tolland was a great find I learned of from this thread.

 

[Deepster]

Did you wanna buy a pizza place?

Yeah. Like seven years ago when this thread was still relevant.
