Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4033866, member: 181"] When Sally's was family-owned, there's no question that I had to visit at an off hour on an off day, or wisely choose someone to accompany me who'd have the necessary patience or sense of humor to endure epic waiting both outside & at the table while insiders jumped the line whenever I chose Sally's. There were also the few times that I benefitted from take out that was ordered by a friend who had Sally's private number. It was a two-tier system, and it's quite well-explained in "Pizza: A Love Story," a recent documentary that is now pretty widely available for streaming. It doesn't surprise me that a good number of people would find such a setup off-putting, and it's tough to break 3½ stars when your business model shows indifference to potential haters. After Flo died, there wasn't even the 'personality' her presence brought, so it was more of a slog. But the pizza still tasted great, and the sons maintained the quality well enough to sell to new owners who now run it more like a business. Sally's is two years past playing favorites, and customers are the winners. I can truly enjoy pizza at dozens of places in CT, so you're not entirely off base, but I do think Sally's is worth a try. This is as good a time as any to kote that I did stop in at Grand Apizza in Clinton a couple months ago. I ordered a sausage & mootz, but they gave me pie with green peppers on it as well. I love roasted red peppers, but not the bitterness if green, which I regard as unripe. They were 10 minutes before closing, and had already shut off the oven, because a guy was coming in to do a periodic vacuuming. As such, they couldn't make a replacement. I. was asked if I'd eat what they'd made, and I'd already endured Vinny's in Bridgeport putting on green peppers a week before when a friend ordered. The guy I figure to have been Nuzzi gave me back my money, and told me to bring the pie to my friend. I appreciated the gesture, and imagined I'd pick off the peppers and try a slice before bringing the rest to Bridgeport the next day. Truth be told, I ate the whole pizza, even with the peppers. It's nothing I'd ever choose for myself, but it was very good pizza. I'd return and get takeout for a sunset dinner at Hammonasset. Overall, I liked it more than Jennie's in Monroe, which was certainly credible enough. Thanks for the heads up both times. [/QUOTE]
