    Was in that area 30+ years ago with 4 Army friends. Ate pizza that looked exactly like the pix in the article. That trip still comes up in conversations and all of us still consider it to be the best we’ve ever had. FWIW

    Sometimes a mass of molten cheese on sauce on a crust is all you need. (watch the roof of your mouth!)

    Do it!!!! You won’t regret it. As it stands, it takes me 2 hours to get in there….and I am 2 towns away. Although, Tolli’s in East Haven is a close 2nd followed by Modern Pizza on State St.

    Everybody has their favorite pizza place.
And everybody has their favorite, such as New York style, Chicago deep.dish, and others I don’t know about.
This is a delicious discussion without resolution. Let’s all.have some pizza.
