OT: Best Pizza in CT

I feel pretty safe saying that, in all these posts, Zuppardis is the spot with the most consistent praise and fewest criticisms.
Zuppardis is so solid because they have that great Wooster St-style char on the crust, but they don’t burn it black like some of the newer fan boi/Portnoy darlings.
 
It's decent for the area but nothing too special. But it is very convenient on the way to campus. Drive 15 minutes and go to Pepe's or Mulberry Street (Mulberry Street) instead, both in Manchester.
My advice would be Camille's, the location and quality is worth more than driving a few exits away. Spend the time on campus at Teds or in the Bookstore or getting parked and situated in the game. Camille's is way better than what you're used to.

If you do go to Camille's I'd suggest calling for a reservation (Visit — CWF). It gets very crowded before a night game.

I tried Bartone’s Apizza in downtown Derby.. The place is legit!
Never heard of it. Just checked it on Portnoy’s OneBite app and people seem to adore this place. Seriously sharp looking pies. Now I have to visit and side-by-side with Roseland.
 
I’m spending the night of the Georgetown game up in Tolland. Anyone recommend Camille’s?

Tolland Pizza has the best eggplant parm I have ever had—a little hole-in-the-wall Greek place. I don't even like eggplant, and this is exceptional. YMMV.

Excellent rec. My wife is veg and loves a good eggplant parm. That's her go-to crave when sick and we hit up A&S.

I mean, I am far from a connoisseur, but theirs is next-level delicious to me. I used to drive 45 minutes to get trays of it for various holidays, and my cousins would always bring it to family gatherings, etc.

I believe it is at the same location as the old Derby Pizza House on lower Main Street.

Is that the one on Merrow Rd?

Although on the main it’s easy to miss. Definitely better than decent the few times I’ve gotten take out from there. However their clam pie was disappointment

For me, nothing can top the old River Restaurant
 
Current Situation - delivery from a FL branch office 13 miles away

How was it?
outstanding, as usual ... devoured 1/2 of one, and the rest is going in the fridge and freezer for days to come, ha

I have lots of great pizza places in my hood in Fort Lauderdale, but it's such a treat to order Pepe's, especially when they do a 2-for-1 special w/ Uber Eats delivery

That's for 2
Yup. Just went to their order site. It listed $38 for an 18” pepperoni pie. Maybe value isn’t the issue and I know prices aren’t what they used to be but 2 large pizzas for $80? Is it worth $60 more than 2 of the same size and type from Costco? ( yes I just got one and it was great).
Without the discounts you got are you still going to order from them?

You are a pizza snob, but I ask what are the exotic ingredients that differ that much? We’re talking flour, yeast, a bit of sauce on some, cheese and toppings. I don’t think we are talking about Bonanza vs Ruth Chris here but it’s JMO.
But I do “tune up” Costco pizza at home to make it better. And yes I’ve had Pepe’s, Sally’s, Ernie’s….,,

I have to agree. Though Costco pizza is much more affordable and good, I would not consider it "great". But no to #shutdownthepizzathread, lol
