Making Atticus the 8th wonder of the New Haven area on the days they make pizza
 
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?
 
I agree but there could be some unforeseen pizza developments in the future that trigger a revival. Maybe a "Pizza Thread 2" ?
 
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.

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.

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

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

Did you wanna buy a pizza place?
 
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.

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.

If the question could be answered, it would have been answered a decade ago.

Now, it’s just people preening over pizza that they may or may not like in hopes that other people will applaud their opinion.

“I went to (Sally’s, Pepe’s, Modern, wherever) and had the (clam, pepperoni, mushroom, whatever) pizza and omg it melted my face off with delicious flavors and textures. My girlfriend tried it and she made a little noise that I have never ever ever heard before in our 13 years of dating. It’s was so amazing that we almost forgot that we were heading to New Haven ComiCon.”

Okay. Great. Moving on.
 
Hey my daughter and son both worked a pizza joint for HS jobs (son still).

It's a timeless, classic HS job made fun of in comedies since there were comedic movies.

That said I do the taxes for the owner of this pizza place so naturally they employ my kids.

So now there are multiple reasons to keep this thread alive - pizza rating, buying a pizza place, pizza jobs, pizza eaten while watching UConn play, best pizza, etc.

I don't doubt that. All valid points.

There's a beer thread on the Food and Travel board. Been there since 2012. 285 pages long. Why isn't that on the men's basketball board too? On that forum there's also a whiskey thread, best sandwich in Philadelphia thread, a lobster roll thread, etc, etc. Think of all the great finds you'd get if you spent more time there?

Beer

Something we can all agree is good. Thanks for all the feedback on holiday brews for my upcoming Ct. Christmas trip. I do feel a bit lucky down here in the extreme western panhandle of Florida. Small city/community but there's a microbrewery that sells by the quart or the growler ...
