Message: [QUOTE="-McD-, post: 1084827, member: 1348"] 23 pages and nothing from southeastern CT so I need to put in my 2 cents. I was raised on greek-style pizza from the legendary [URL='https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spiros-Great-Oak-Pizza/207547779384273']Spiro's Great Oak Pizza[/URL] and even though it closed years ago their meatball pizza is what I measure all other pizza against. I would eat pizza every day if I could, like I did when I was single. I prefer a simple pizza with red sauce and one topping (no anchovies, mushrooms, or fruit please). There are very few pizzas that aren't better than no pizza, but I definitely appreciate a quality pie. My current favorites are: [URL='http://firesideboc.com']Fireside Brickoven Creations[/URL] (Gales Ferry): Brick oven style. I'm generally not a big fan of thin-crust pizza, so I initially tried their Denali which has a double crust with sausage, pepperoni, and ricotta cheese. I was concerned because I'm not big on multiple toppings or odd cheeses but it immediately became my go-to pizza. I eventually tried their thin crust pizzas and they are also excellent. [URL='http://www.mrgsrestaurant.com']Mr. G's Restaurant[/URL] (New London): Greek-style. I love their red sauce. I usually get either a hamburg, meatball, or sausage pizza. It's a frequent stop for traveling sports teams since it's right off of Rt. 95 south after the Gold Star Bridge. Lots of photos of sports figures on the wall. UConn connection: Glen Miller would always bring his Brown University basketball team there whenever they played Connecticut College. [URL='http://www.therollingtomato.com']The Rolling Tomato[/URL] (Groton): I don't go to their brick-and-mortar location, but I always grab a slice when I see their mobile brickoven at an event. Other New London county options. These are all options when I can't get everyone to agree on Fireside and I'm not in the mood to drive 20 minutes to Mr. G's: [URL='http://goldenpizzarestaurant.com']Golden Pizza[/URL] (Preston): Greek-style. [URL='http://passportct.com/?q=node/323&MerchantId=119']Valentinos[/URL] (Ledyard): Italian style thin crust. [URL='http://7seaspizza.com']7 Seas Pizza Restaurant[/URL] (Groton): Greek-style. Sadly, one of my sons' favorite pizza is a Dominos cheese pizza. If that wasn't bad enough, he gets it with no sauce. I'm not sure it's possible to make a worse pizza than that and I dread when my wife gives me his leftovers to take to work as lunch. I refuse to buy it for him unless we can get it on their M-Th take-out special for $8.50. It's not even worth that much so I'm definitely not spending more than that. I wish I knew where I went wrong with him. [/QUOTE]
