Grew up in Jersey. Went to college in Connecticut. CT is not the pizza capitol of America....
What a dumb idea. While the New Haven “a-beetz” is a good pizza, the reference standards are the Neopolitan and New York styles, from New York City.
Betcha New Hampshire’s signs for Tax-Free Alcohol on I-95 get more attention.
Amateurs!!! Old Forge, PA; is the ‘Pizza Capital of the World’. I know because I have the t-shirt. And their pizza is pretty tasty. Especially Salerno’s and Arcaro & Genell’s.
Good pizza is made by Italian-American owned shops that have been in the family for three generations and use a family recipe sauce, high quality cheeze and people who know what they are doing. Those family owned shops are rapidly disappearing as are distinctive Italian-American real neighborhoods. When Dominos, Pizza Hut Little Caesar and the other abdominable corporate chains open in Little Italy, you know it will be over.
I guess nobody ever heard of Naples, Italy.
Connecticut is much more deserving of the title of “Surfing Capital of the U.S.” than the pizza capital…which is to say, they don’t come even close to deserving it.
If New Yawkers don’t like the fact that CT has superior pizza, then maybe they should have thought about that before they were born.
My first taste of a Pizza was in Connecticut. An Italian Restaurant in Norwalk had Pizza that was delicious. A full sized pie cost $3.00 and the restaurant was always very busy. I don’t remember the name of the place because it was in the Summer of 1958. (Hence the low cost)
Is any Freeper from CT able to come up with the name? It was a man’s name and it did not sound Italian.
Pizza is one of those things that is mostly dependent on where you grew up and what kind of pizza was around.
Having a debate over it is silly. Having the state put up a sign about it is an indication that your state has too much money.
Connecticut traffic out-annoys anything written on a sign.
Best pizza in the world comes from New Haven,CT
