I've been living in Storrs for the last 25 years and seen it all come and go.

Part of the issue here is that standards have gone way up. I was a Gumby's guy back in the day, but if that same pizza was still available I don’t think I could take two bites of it.

Pizza Mike's, Willington, Apollo, Tony's and Pleasant are all mediocre but nothing to write home about options. (Apollo prob the best of those, imo.)

Wooster St. was great and always crowded when it first opened. The quality dropped off a cliff very quickly and the place was always empty after that.

The disaster that became the “downtown “ jacked rents throughout Storrs and cleared out anything that didn’t have a good profit margin.

The University requiring all students in dorms to be on a very expensive meal plan (cash cow) was another stake through the heart.

There are currently many Asian food options in Storrs because they cater to one of the biggest demographics of renters, especially in the downtown.
