Reply to comment by brewski in Hey all, a couple of New Haven guys with a food review YouTube finally reviewing New Haven food here by BLACVE

I like the damp cardboard smell that goes with that. Probably because growing up in New Haven we mostly had Pepe’s and Ernie’s as takeout so the cardboard smell and the taste of Foxon Park grape soda have become Proustian.

I have the same nostalgia, but it gives the pizza a steam bath. This softens the crust and makes the cheese gooey. If you're going to do a pizza review, you might as well get it served properly. Seems like they had the whole restaurant to themselves.

Yes I agree w you about that. Two separate situations. I was just thinking yesterday about the difference between a frozen Zuppardi’s apizza heated up at home vs eating one at the restaurant. Not even the same animal.
