Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3312132, member: 181"] When I lived in north Bridgeport before circling back to New Haven, Salerno's filled that 'local' slot I keep referring to. The dining room was fixed in the 70's, the history was on display in the people who worked & ate there, and I'd get a consistent, traditional (if unspectacular) sausage & cheese pie that again made me wonder why pizza isn't always at least this good, and wh so many people accept bad pizza so often. Norwalk's Letizia's in Norwalk and Carminuccio's in Newtown similarly saved me from crossing into New Haven County,though trying to get New Haven quality is what led me initially to cross the Housatonic and go to Roseland. My sister is in north Stratford and I look forward to following your recommendation. As to Popeye's, that's too bad. Even with sometimes unkempt interiors, lax management, short-staffing, early shutdowns, raucous customers, items that have "run out for the night," and other legitimate complainables, I've become a huge fan of the soundtrack when inside, the food in or out, and the freewheeling anti-Chik-fil-A vibe. I suppose it's my Arby's. Fwiw, every Popeye's receipt offers a 48-hour window for filling out a survey, getting a validation code to score a 2-piece if you buy a soft drink. I still haven't learned if they have unsweetened tea, so the beverage buy requirement holds me back. I can see how this wasn't good enough for your needs [/QUOTE]
