Grew up with NY Pizza... I live in an area of CT where I can get both great New Haven style and NY style - I usually opt for NY style although I love New Haven style too...

I think pizza is a pretty nostalgic food and you crave what you grew up on.

This might blow your mind but good NY style is just people trying and failing to make New Haven style.

My favorite part is CT people losing their shit about how their pizza is better. Sallys is shit, Moderns is shit, Pepes is shit.

It's all relative. Whatever you like is shit too

I think Einstein postulated that all pizza is relative

Since NY is only next door I grew up on both. Love NYC and know Long Island well since my dad side of family from there. You're Jets fan or is that just a coincidence?

My pride is going with CT but it is also true.

Jets fan - born in the Bronx (parents grew up there), lived on long island during my early childhood and moved upstate close to Danbury later in my childhood.

Pizza wise there was no question in my house. Where we settled seemed to be where many other NY Italians from the Bronx landed - along with the same pizza.

Funny thing about this convo people from NJ think they are better than both of us pizza wise.

TBF all three states have pizza that hits the top of lists in the U.S. and even internationally. You're going to find some great pizza in CT, NY, and NJ. But best is always subjective, and in many cases just a matter of preference.

Absolutely. Its just petty bragging rights at the end of the day.

Yeah, I'm a Jersey girl. Been in CT about 15 years. The only great pizza I've had in this state is a Sicilian in Bridgeport. I'm not impressed with CT pizza. I know I'll be down voted, but it's my opinion.

I haven’t found a good Sicilian around Stamford yet - what place in Bridgeport?

Massimo. Crunchy and airy. NOT soggy. Pasquale is the man over there

But that's not the point of this post... It's not NY vs New Haven style, it's that NY style is pretty damn good outside of NY now and according to her maybe better in CT. Really has nothing to do with New Haven style. New Haven style has always been around.

Huh? The OP was commenting on “I would argue Connecticut had the best pizza” by saying “I think most here would agree”

Anklesock t1_iwxsj3m wrote

Right, it's the CT sub thus most would agree (inherent bias). However, nowhere is anyone talking about New Haven style pizza. It's a post saying NY style is now done equally as good outside of NY as it is inside the city. You brought New Haven style into the convo - that's my point. And, I happen to agree; I think there's some phenomenal NY style pizza in CT.

Fair enough…. I guess since I’m in the tristate area when someone is comparing NY vs CT pizza I assume they also mean style. I do not think there is a difference between the pizza I get in Stamford vs what I can’t find in white plains…. Vs northern jersey…. When it comes to NY style. But you can’t really find much CT style outside of CT so that’s why I jumped to that
