OT: Best Pizza in CT

[EdgewoodNHV]

Thinking about trying Ozzy's this weekend. Any comments?

I like Ozzy's, it's very good thin crust pizza, but not exactly New Haven style, more classic thin crust to me

I'm sure you do. He played basketball at South Catholic and graduated there in 1983.

This is tangential but related, I think. When I was 15, I got a summer job as a counselor at High Meadow Day Camp in Granby, even though I was technically too young for paid work. The lead counselor for my cabin was Joe Reilly, who I later learned coached at South Catholic.

The founder of the camp was Paul Francis, who was a respected CT basketball referee who I only ever called "Frosty." He was also the Athletic Director at then Kingswood School (now Kingswood Oxford).

Joe Reilly was the first archetypal good-hearted tough guy I ever met.

Joe’s brother Gene, who coached at South Catholic and Portland, was even tougher but both were good men. Gene was very good baseball and basketball player for Central, too.

One of my good friends in college grew up a few doors down from there on Maple Avenue. It was across the street from a park, just south of the intersection of South Street and Maple Avenue. Wasn't the greatest area but it was generally safe back then. Haven't been over there in 40 years so no idea what it's like now.

its still safe
