Used to be we'd go there because they'd serve you a 10% IPA in a giant 32oz mug or whatever and charge you the same price as what JL Beers would for a 10oz of the same beer. It's been at least 6 years since I've been in either of those because they are just so crazy overpriced now. I also don't drink much anymore, but god damn that Lost Continent IPA was good.
I like how these cities are convinced that nobody else anywhere in the world has figured out how to put dough, cheese, and marinara sauce together in the proper ratio.
I have had pizza in Chicago and New York and it was good, but there is good pizza everywhere I have lived in the US. As long as its a local place its normally pretty good. It's not that difficult to get right.
CT resident, new haven style is burned badly, the toppings are distributed at random, and there's gigantic bubbles in the dough. You're an hour and a half from NYC, just get a good pizza and stop pretending pepes and Sally's aren't shit.
