We caved too. I found the garlicon the crust interesting but basically a gimmick and fake tasting. I liked the sauce, definitely robust! Cheese was fine (we are a ‘light cheese’ family so liked the vailability ot oder it that way on line). Online ordering was awesome. Cust was the biggest letdown, not awful like some other mass produced pizza but far from good. There was a little moisture in it which I think helps but very dry and not chewy or crispy. Of course it can’t hold a candle to almost any local pizza place, but my guess is that in vast areas of the country overrun with the likes of pizza hut or pap johns or dominos it is a big improvement, and I really respect the ad campaign, since it got us to try it and we would get it again (but not first choice). By the way I tried the brooklyn ctust too or whatever they call it and it was thinner but worse.

[...] know how I feel about the new recipe. Then again, I technically contributed my own $6+ to this profit [...]

You go to Planet Fitness? I can’t say I’ve actually taken advantage of the free pizza at the gym…

Leeanne,
You and I go to the same gym. In defense of the gym, the pizza is made on wheat crust. But I don’t understand the logic of promoting greasy food in a healthy-related environment. I see people who just finished an hour run on the treadmill walk over to the counter and grab two pieces of the pizza. why bother?!

My favorite pizzas are from Shelton Pizza Palace, Apollo’s in Derby and Santini’s in Ansonia. Pepe’s is good, been to New Haven and Fairfield. They both taste different too. GoodFellas in Bridgeport is good too.

Bellas pizza is vey good and good priced. They deliver and I think they are one of the best to go to. I say forget corporate and support our local valley business owners.

My favorite places for pizza in the Valley are Santini’s in Ansonia (and they deliver), and Italian Pavilion in Derby. Traveling a little farther, I LOVE the Margherita pizza at Old Towne in Trumbull. It is by far the best Margherita pizza I’ve ever had.

I would NEVER have even a slice of pizza (how can they even call it that), from Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Papa Gino’s or any of those chains. I have had it and it all tastes gross. I am a favorite of Sally’s on Wooster St. in New Haven and also Roseland in Derby, CT. Pepe’s is good but a bit too greasy. The Pepe’s at Mohegan Sun has a different taste. Just my 2 cents.

As a GF gal, I need to give a huge shout-out to Risotteria on Bleecker Street in NYC. It was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, gluten-free or otherwise. It will be the first place that Steve and I eat when we go up in May. http://www.risotteria.com/

Hands-down for me in Boston? Regina Pizzeria. It did not help my diet that I lived a half-block away for 2 years.

For delivery, I was always satisfied with Papa John’s. They offered thin-crust, which was always just crispy enough; flavor was decent; they did not skimp on toppings nor concentrate all the topping on one part of the pizza – everything was evened out (weird peeve of mine).
