Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3316956, member: 181"] Wanted to close out my 2-month New Haven County Pizza tour that kicked off th when Buffalina was closed after saying they'd be open on my way back from a day of Rhode Island Beach recon. The idea for Saturday was to get Zuppardi's white clam with money saved by not going to the reception before a showing of the "Pizza, a Love Story" documentary at the Whitneyville Cultural Commons. Instead of a slice each from the Big 3 that are the subject of the (very good) movie, I got a small pie w/freshly shucked clams, "market"-priced at $25.15. Because I wasn't sure, I got half with mootz, half without. "Without" is the way to go. Across my 20 or so pizzas, my first slice of this was my favorite piece of pizza since Labor Day! Subsequent pieces never caught up with the first, but still good. After the movie's Q&A w/the producers, there was book-signing and chitchat back in the basement, and there were some extra pieces at room temperature from the earlier reception. I had 2 Sally's plain - yummy, but better fresh, and 1 pepperoni from Modern - again leading me to conclude that Modern is the overall winner for 'good at the most temperatures.' After learning that Mike of Mike's in West Haven taught Ernie, whose legacy is carried on by his son Pat, I added another visit to Mike's, a return to Olde World (Modern alums), and a circle back to Ernie's which is closest to home. THEN, the 'opinion reset' will be complete, and I can re-try Salerno's, Carminuccio's, Rossini's, and expand to include a Little Rendezvous & others. [/QUOTE]
