OT: Best Pizza in CT

Yeah. Stretches has been closed for at least three years. Time to close this thread.

Rumor I heard was that they really had a good time outside of their work and let's just say it kept them from working as much as they should have.
Sucks because their pizza was great.

The owner worked for a long time at First and Last in Hartford. The pizza was great but the business was a disaster. You’d order a pizza, they say it would be ready at 6:00 and it would easily be an hour late.

Yep, he's shaking everyone's hand all night and talking to everyone instead of cooking but the food was great. I've yet to have a bad meal there. The specials are incredibly expensive, they don't list the specials prices but the waitress tells you them if you ask. I was looking at a wild boar ragu special and she told me it's $80. Never order the specials unless you are okay with the price and never order appetizers because they always bring you complimentary appetizers and the entrees are enormous.

My chicken parm was $32, I have a big appetite and it was three meals worth of food for me. I could see the enormous portions served in oversized pans and wooden boats being a turn off to some but I'll take it any day over a place like Materia in Litchfield which is incredibly expensive and you leave the restaurant starving.

Had a great evening there with friends 4 weeks ago. First time. Starts with a sip of Limoncello. Antonio working the room is part of the ambience. BTW-He's happy to give input on a wine choice. Plan on taking some food home. Will be going back.

Curious about Geppetto Osteria in Torrington.

They lost me with the comparison of pizza places with coffee shops. And there is no pizza price war anywhere near me. Pizza cost me double what it did before Covid. And if I have it delivered, I used to tip the driver five bucks for driving 2 miles. Now it's seven bucks to the pizza place plus whatever I tip the driver.

My theory is single boomers can no longer eat an entire pizza.
