Bar is excellent. It is a little off course from the traditional New Haven Pie, but is really good. Some creative offerings. I really like the Mashed potato and bacon pizza.
Bingo. Just logged on to say the same. It's right there with the holy trinity (Pepe's, Sally's, Modern) imo. Second on the mashed potato/bacon pie (they will recommend white, but get it red, trust me). Their salad is also very good, as are all their traditional and other pizza offerings. Just be warned that it is probably the thinnest crust you've ever had and it doesn't last or travel well. It cools really fast. Also, their house beers tend to be average at best imo (except for the aptly-named Damn Good Stout), so stick to the guest beers otherwise if you are a fan of micros/craft beers. He usually has a pretty nice selection.
I went to the Joe Pizza one in Simsbury and it was excellent pie. I didn't have any exotics like you, but the pie was really really good. Very underrated.
Wasn't Joe Pizza the original? The tomato pie without mozz is terrific.
I always thought Joey Garlics was the originals, but I'm not sure. And yes the tomato pie is fantastic. If you live in Northern/Northeastern CT, Joe Pizza should be at the top of your local list.

. Certainly taste is subjective which is why I enjoy these threads. Makes me want to try different places. Everyone has their favorites..... 
I haven't been there in at least ten years, but by all accounts they have slipped precipitously in recent years. I can tell you from driving up Wooster regularly to get on the highway that I haven't seen a line there in years, and there is almost always a line at Pepe's. On Good Friday there was no line, and Pepe's was down the block. I could see as I drove by that Sally's wasn't even full inside. I have also heard from others who know better than I do that they haven't kept up the place at all, and that cleanliness in particular is a concern.
Bar's pizza is great! Their salad is a must get too. Super thin crust.
Cheshire Rossini's is still there and its quality pie. I think its better than Mr. B's in Cheshire. But at that point, I would just drive the extra 15-20 to New Haven...
Jumped back in this thread just to see the latest and I have to admit, I never thought I would see Marblehead House of Pizza mentioned! Not a fan of this pizza as you can do better with Tony's, Vesuvius or Romano's Sicilian (Square Cut as all Sicilian Pizza should be but have a gallon of water near by). Yes a matter of taste and the Italian's beat the Greeks every time!
