Message: [QUOTE="temery, post: 5334670, member: 1"] Good stuff. You should post this in the pizza thread. Here's what I got: Great question — Connecticut has one of the strongest pizza traditions in the U.S., especially with its New Haven–style “apizza”. Since you already know Pepe’s and Sally’s, here are some other top-notch spots locals and critics rave about: New Haven [LIST] [*]Modern Apizza – On State Street, often considered right up there with Pepe’s and Sally’s. Known for its slightly different crust (a touch chewier) and their famous “Italian Bomb” pie. [*]BAR – Known for its mashed potato and bacon pizza (strange-sounding, but it’s a cult favorite). Also doubles as a brewery/bar. [*]Zuppardi’s Apizza (technically in West Haven) – Family-run since 1934, famous for their clam pizza and classic sausage pie [/LIST] Middletown / Central CT [LIST] [*]Mondo (Middletown) – Creative toppings, gourmet flair, wood-fired style. [*]Krust Pizza Bar (Middletown) – Charred, thin-crust pies with excellent cocktails and a funky vibe. [/LIST] Fairfield County [LIST] [*]Colony Grill (Stamford, Norwalk, Fairfield, Milford) – Super-thin bar pies with their signature hot oil topping. A whole different style from New Haven, but beloved. [*]Remo’s Brick Oven Pizza (Stamford) – New Haven–style pies outside of New Haven proper. [/LIST] Other Notables [LIST] [*]Roseland Apizza (Derby) – Old-school, huge portions, and many locals swear by it. [*]Ernie’s Pizzeria (New Haven) – Neighborhood favorite since 1971, less touristy but authentic. [*]Napoli Pizza (Wallingford) – Classic spot with loyal following. [/LIST] 👉 If you want to stick close to Pepe’s and Sally’s but avoid the huge lines, Modern and Zuppardi’s are your best bets. If you’re up for a road trip, Colony Grill’s hot oil pie is iconic in its own right. Do you want me to put together a top 5 list ranked by “must-try uniqueness” (e.g., clam pie at Zuppardi’s, hot oil at Colony, mashed potato at BAR)? [/QUOTE]
