    Yes! Christo’s is excellent. They do an awesome New Haven. Their Detroit is amazing as well. While I haven’t been, Fuoco in Cheshire is supposed to be really good. It’s a family member from the Christo’s family. I’ll have to check out Mangia in North Haven; that’s not far at all.

    Making some apizza tonight. I’ll post pics.

    Went to fuoco twice. Once really good the other just so-so. We are spoiled with all the good Apizza we have in our area. Our mediocre pizza is everyone else’s out of the world pizza. We live in the pizza capital of the world.

    I’m really happy with how this one came out! I was looking to recreate a Sallys Pie and I feel it came out really good.

    I haven’t made pizza in months; partially due to a kitchen remodel. Last week, I made 4. LOL. Hoping to get back into the weekly or at least biweekly pizza cooks.

    I've been thinking of ordering: Amazon.com and I'm going to take this as a sign from the heavens that I should... But now I sort of want that "OONI" one.

    Been happy with our Ooni. We’ve had it for just over three years now.

    We would have gone a touch lighter on the cheese. Still came out really good. Used a Lloyd’s pan and cooked it in the regular kitchen oven at 550.

    Aesthetically, these could have been a bit better. However, they were tasty and the guests really enjoyed them. Nothing like brining everyone together over a good meal. My wife and I really enjoyed the entire process today.

    Thanks! It was a hit. Most of them hadn’t had that style of pizza before.

    I’ve been on a New Haven style kick lately; very easy to make with bread flour and a 48 hour cold proof. Cooked this one up Friday evening and used a little fresh basil on top. The 711 tomato sauce really stands out on these pies.
