So even though I live close I never was going to wait 30-45 minutes outside to get into a place for pizza but driving through town and took a chance and only had a 10-minute wait to be seated.
NYC is the best for ordering a couple of slices but for a whole pie NH was the best I've ever had.

....After hearing about New Haven style for so long I didn't think it could live up to expectations but it did.

New Haven pizza is not the best. Please can we stop with this madness. Its good. Some days it’s out of this world!

But so is NYC pizza, NJ pizza, and Chicago pizza. If your pizza is good, you don’t need to keep reminding everyone and constantly tell everyone it’s good. It’s ridiculous that CT put billboards in NYC telling everyone CT pizza is the best. And they went down to Washington to whine and moan and annoy all the legislators and made them sign some proclamation that CT is the pizza capital or something. Very embarrassing.

Do you see NYC doing stuff like this? Of course not. They just let their quality pizza do the talking.

Yes, Pepe’s is good. So is Sally’s…so is Modern…so is Bar. Colony is also good. Lombardi’s is good. Prince St is good. Defaras is fine.

Don’t let worthless Dave Portnoy and his cocaine tarnished taste buds get you to drink his Koolaid. His opinion is garbage and so is he.

 Pepe’s and Sally’s are now franchised. What they can’t replicate is the passion and love that the founders had when making the pizza. It’s just mass produced. And it’s fine. If you want to wait in line at the New Haven places go for it. But it’s not like you’re going to eat a slice of Sally’s and the clouds will open and angels will come down and lift you up.

It’s fine. It’s pizza. Some days it’s great, some days it’s burned. It’s all personal opinion. Frozen pizza is also fine.

Chicago pizza is a casserole.
New Jersey makes the best steak and cheese but their pizza doesn't compare to CT or even NYC.
NYC pizza is the best for a couple of slices on a paper plate with a soda.
New Haven is the best for a whole pie.

No point in arguing over 9s or 9.5s or 10s.  Count your blessings.  2 slices of Good cheap pizza is a godsend.

If you move out to LA you'll have great Mexican but shit pizza and miss it, if you move back you'll miss the Mexican food.

It's hard to fuck up pizza. Even cheap shit out of a box is pretty damn good.

All the stuff I had in Italy was fucking crap. I was raging. Would love to do a decent tour around the US some time and try the best spots. Deep dish can get fucked, though, and the irregular slices of New Haven-style would annoy me.

No, it was all very pleasant and civilized aside from telling one of those street rats selling roses to fuck off.

Sounds like you charmed her, chief. You should have slipped her your number.

No, mate. First time reading about it now. It was more the whole style there I wasn't used to. It felt strange having to use a fork and knife, and most of them were kinda soggy. In restaurants it wasn't too bad, and I liked it dipping the crusts in olive oil, but they were a nightmare when ordered as takeaway. I was told to try Romana style next time instead, though.

The absolute best pizza I have ever had in my life was in Bergen Norway, in the Ole Bull Scene area.  It had literally hundreds of items you could have added.  Duck, deer, elk, oysters, scallops, etc..   and the best part is that each ingredient was cooked individually.  Not like normal pizzas where you throw it on the crust and then throw the crust in the oven.  Here you picked a crust and they started on it first, then depending on what your selections were, they were cooked and/or added at intervals when they were ready.  If you got beef, it was cooked and then added to the crust - back into the oven, then if you peppers or onions they were added right at the very end.  Each selection was perfect.  Things like pepperoni or mushrooms were not rubbery, meats like duck and ground beef were not greasy or dry.  It took about 45 minutes to get a pie and it was around 50-90USD depending on your selections.   But it was worth it.
I haven't been back since 2017 so not sure if it is there.  I will have to dig out out external hard drives and see if I can find a photo of it and get the name off it.  It was across the street from TGIF in the park area.

Not quite accurate. Yes, you can get great slices at Luigi's, Prince St. Pizza, Joe's, L'Industrie, LB Spumoni Gardens, or Scarrs. This is not even scratching the surface of how many amazing NYC slice shops exist. You can't say same of CT. Yes, CT has great slice shops. But not the magnitude, legacy, or widespread love that NYC has. But there are also amazing sit down places in NYC that CT can't touch, such as Lucali, Johns Bleeker St., Lombardis, or Una Pizza Napoletana.

Was it Trattoria del Napoli, Hoggorm, or Bien Centro?

I will have to look at the photos.  It was across the street from TGIF and at the end-ish part of the square/park where the water started.
