    I don’t know what people are going on about in this thread. sounds like a bunch of tourists or people who live in meth towns in New England. like lobster rolls, sure. oysters, they can have that too. but pizza? bagels? for us to be claiming to be good at that stuff is just ridiculous. southern New England has great Mexican and Chinese food too! might as well make those claims too while we’re at it.

      Absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Never been to New Haven or Danbury or like, the rest of the state? Or more like you’ve never seen how shit pizza, Italian sandwiches and bagels are in the rest of the country.

        ever been to NY? Chicago? Philly?Detroit? LA? all better pizza cities with more options. is New Haven underrated for pizza? certainly. is it standout? no. it’s ok. it’s not bad but saying s. new England is known for pizza because of New Haven pizza is just ridiculous dude. like really? we’re gonna say a whole region has good pizza cuz one city has like two good pizza places while it’s dog shit everywhere else?

          Why are you only talking about large cities in the northeast and Detroit? I’m comparing it to places like Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland, LA, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver and Seattle. I’ve eaten pizza in small towns in Connecticut that beat the crap out of anything I’ve had in those cities.

            I’m mentioning large cities in the northeast because they all have better pizza than southern New England. you think small towns in other states don’t have randomly delicious pizza? small town pizza is good everywhere dude. all pizza tastes fucking delicious when you’re driving in the middle of bumfuck Connecticut. same with other small towns. doesn’t mean the whole southern New England is known for pizza. Western Oklahoma City is known for pizza too.
