The 'New York Times' on Doc's Trattoria
The gray lady visits Doc's Trattoria in Kent, Connecticut: While Doc’s specializes in Italian food, its knockout item is its pizza. The pizzas—11 of them, plus 9 optional toppings—were so good they would easily merit, if judged alone, an Excellent rating. The crust is thin but bubbly, crunchy with real flavor, not cardboardlike and tasteless like some thin-crusted pizzas—and the toppings are generous and fresh-tasting. I could become addicted to the Genovese (with pesto, imported artichokes and goat cheese), the casino (mozzarella, clams, pancetta, garlic and roasted peppers) and several others.Most pizzas cost $13 for a small size, $19 for...Dear Slice: Thanks for the Tip on New Haven
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got ... Photograph by Robyn Lee Hello, Love your website. Just made it to Frank Pepe for the first time and thought I'd share. Drove from New York City to Cape Cod this past Saturday and pulled over in New Haven. Couldn't remember the name of the pizza places in New Haven, so the first cop I saw I asked for directions to "that famous pizza place." He gave me directions to Frank Pepe. I arrived there at 1:45 p.m., and even though it was 95 and humid, there was a line...Pizza Belt North: The I-95, Merritt Parkway Pizza Guide
Many New York–area pizza lovers may be headed to the shore this holiday weekend, to Connecticut or Rhode Island or Massachusetts—the northern half of what I called the Pizza Belt in my book Pizza: A Slice of Heaven. If you find yourself hungry, stuck in traffic or both, console yourself with a slice or pizza or two at any of the following places.From the Field: Zuppardi's Apizza
Just got the following email, with the photo at left, from homeslice Philip G.: "I'm inside this place right now.... Will report back." Fifteen minutes later the photo at right zooms through with the following message: "Typical (and amazing) [New Haven] apizza. Its like Pepe's, minus the shitty wait times." (A photo of Zuppardi's interior follows after the jump.) Philip G. has provided numerous tips, so much so that I'm going to nickname him "PG Tips." (The Brits and Anglophiles among you will get that.) Zuppardi's Apizza Address: 179 Union Avenue, West Haven CT 06516 Phone: 203-934-1949...Seen on Craigslist: Live Near Frank Pepe's

I've been workin' in the coal mine, digging up some more coal-oven pizzerias to bring you. Although New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, are two of the most famous coal-oven towns, did you know there are coal joints in Florida; Philly; Chicago; Des Moines, Iowa; Dallas; and Scottsdale, Arizona? They're all on the Slice National Coal-Oven Pizza Map....Pepe's: Coming to a College Town Near You?
According to the Yale Daily News, the legendary Pepe's Pizza, in New Haven, Connecticut, is contemplating opening more branches in college towns across the country. But I wonder: Is it possible to clone high-quality, family-owned and operated pizzerias across state lines? Pepe's, a Slice favorite beloved by just about everyone, including Michael Stern of Roadfood, and me. Pepe's, which I named one of pizzadom's "keepers of the flame" in my book Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, had previously opened a branch in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 2005 and another in Mansfield, Connecticut, last month. I tried to go to the...Slicester: 'Beware of the Underdog'
This just in from the Slice mailbag, with the subject line "pizza in CT." Dear Slice, So, I’m a devoted pizza addict and enjoy your website. I feel compelled to write because everyone loves an underdog and I keep seeing emails posted from people recommending Modern Apizza. Make no mistake, these are people who want to root for the underdog for the sake that they can one day say “I was a fan before they were famous”. There is no comparison to Sally’s (or Pepe’s Clam). Modern produces a nice, fresh, relatively non-distinctive wood-fired pizza. All you can say is...A Slice of Heaven: Bar Pizza
Bar (or tavern) pizza is an entity unto itself within the pizza realm. It's been around at least since Prohibition ended in 1933, but who knows, maybe there was a speakeasy serving pizza. It is served all over the country, although I have found a preponderance of bar pizza in New Jersey; Staten Island, New York; Chicago; and Connecticut. What defines a bar pizzeria? They're usually family-run businesses that have been passed down from generation to generation. It's pizza served in a bar (of course), which means minors are not let in unaccompanied by adults. At Vito & Nick's on...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
