Um...yea...that pizza looks delicious eh?

The pizza around here is actually pretty good. We have the ol\' Dominos and Pizza Hut, so I\'m doing all right.

I am only serious because I have never tasted the heaven which you guys call pizza! It is either Dominos/Pizza Hut or some horrible crap at school! I am hoping to make a trip up New England way sometime this summer and I suppose I will have to check it out!

You suppose? Nah, it\'s a wasted trip through New Haven (gateway to all of New England) without stopping by Wooster St. Hell to make things better it\'s more of an easy off easy on from the highway than most fast food joints in CT on 95.

fixed that for you, paul.. come on, you were doing good.. let\'s not bring NY pizza into this...

I never said that NYC could touch NE, but they are both eons above dominoes and pizza hut. I still hold true to wooster st., but theres nothing wrong with stopping down in little italy if your in the city to catch a show. Although the \'by-the-slice\' concept still boggels me.

(for those that don\'t know, the argument over NYC pizza and Wooster St is as heated a topic as Red Sox / Yankees)

There\'s a place on Thayer St in Providence called Antonio\'s that does the by the slice thing and everyone thinks it\'s heaven on earth. I had it a couple times, luckily when my buddy brings me there now that there is a burrito place attached to it, heh. I just can not fully understand the concept of \'gourmet pizza\'. They have pizza\'s with some of the wierdest combinations of topping I have ever heard of. Example: spinach and portebello *********. Might sound appetizing to the vegetarians out there but lemme tell ya it looks like something that came out of my mouth after a handle of whiskey

[FrankZappa]

yea, theres a place called "randy\'s wooster st. Pizza" up here in southington. They pull that topping crap all the time also. so far, they have already broken broken the cardnal rule of pizza:

putting \'wooster st.\' in your name.

Only two places on earth have the right to use that name, sallys and peppes (I consider the spot part of peppes), and neither of them us it except if you ask for the mailing address. On top of that, Randy\'s menue states that he used to work for peppes, and after spending years learning the \'secrets\' of making pizza the wooster st. way, he left to start his own company. So this leads to my second grudge:

Randy is a thief and a trator.

Its all right there in the menu. Peppes didnt want to franchise, so Randy took what they were doing and started to mas produce it - badly. This stuff couldn\'t touch peppes if it tried. (makes you wonder if he left peppes voluntarily)... And then on top of it, he started making all the \'specialty\' pizzas. I\'ll give you hawaiian and anchovies as toppings, but some of the other garbage they put on has no place there. They also proudly advertise that they were voted \'one of the top 100 pizza places in the usa\'.  I\'m willing to bet they didnt place very high on the list. In summary, dont eat there.

[antbach]

there\'s alot of those \'wooster st pizza\' joints around connecticut, used to be one in branford (i think it was branford, where they built Brother\'s and the Honda dealership, little help locals?) which Im assuming was WAY to close location wise to the real thing so no one took them seriously.  Im pretty sure they have one on Washington Ave in North Haven too, but I could be wrong.

The year was 1925, the place was Wooster Street New Haven, and History was about to be made. According to legend, a baker name Frank Pepe put tomato sauce to dough for the first time and the pizza was born! Since then Wooster Street New Haven has made their crust thin, brick oven pizza world famous. The overwhelming mystique and aura that lies on this quarter mile street nestled within the city of New Haven has been know to attract some of the greatest American icons for a sample of what has become History.
Sixty-five years later a new Wooster Street has been constructed. Randy\'s Wooster Street Pizza Shop! Randy, working under the tutelage of the Pepe family learned this highly sought after "secret recipe"! Now, Randy\'s with over 50 years of combined pizza experience is paving the way and bringing this Old World traditional pizza right into your hometown. Keeping within the realms of the New Haven Style pizza standards, Randy utilized his creativity and his culinary expertise to produce a line of over 25 specialty pizzas. These pizzas range from the "mild" to the "wild" with a flare that is sure to satisfy even the most meticulous pizza connoisseur.
