Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 1459806, member: 534"] My wife, unfortunately, is a fan of Greek pizza. Not all Greek pizza, but 2 out of her favorite 3 pizza places are greek. So I've had more than my share of greek pie, and have learned to tolerate it, as long as it's not too doughy. But it ain't pizza. It doesn't satisfy the craving at all. To me, Pepe's is an RCH behind Roseland. But in my mind, both are a hair behind Salerno's in Stratford. I have a [I]thing [/I]for Salerno's. It's the direct descendant of the pie I grew up with[I] (C&C, at the corner of Connecticut and Carrol Avenues in Bridgeport)[/I]. Same family. Same recipe. Same taste and texture. Salerno's like Roseland, fits my formula for always getting a good pizza when on the road. There MUST be a neon sign in the window or over the door, and it must flicker a bit, or have a letter out. And the magic word must begin with an A. Generally speaking, it won't say APIZZA if it's not Neapolitan. If it says APIZZA in flickering neon, go right in and inhale. If you smell a little burnt olive oil and oregano in the air, order up. Everything will be OK. For what it's worth, Pepe's neon doesn't begin with an A. But I guess it's OK, because Frank and family pronounced it abeetz. [/QUOTE]
