I agree the other store in Hartford is not as good as the Hew Haven one . I emailed them about it and they said mabey the oven isnt seasoned as well ???
But I was driving by Grimaldis and the line was very long on Saturday at 130 . We ended up at Difaras . It was excellent and then went to Aurthur Ave and got some stuff . We stopped at Dominicks to have dinner but never made it past the fried calamari and baked clams appitizer ( They give you a bakers dozen dont see that often these days ) to full so we never ordered entrees . Theres always next time . Their prices are very reasonable and portions are big

if you like clams and white sauce you would love clam pizza . Frank Pepes clam pie is just beyond good . I cant say anything more other than that about it its perfect in every way

Ya know living in albany has a few good points ,cheap housing and easy commutes ,no traffic but as far as food goes it sucks . And I dont mean to be insulting but it is what it is and there isnt any pizza up here . I mean Ive eaten at all these places and they all suck . It baffels me why only two hrs from the city and its so bad . I wont even eat it here any more . Food in general is bad here . Its always been and always will be cow town food . Its laughable
If you dont have a coal oven you cant have pizza

I dont know it really hurts my feelings when I get bad pizza .

Yea .I think pizza is one of my favorite things to eat

This looks like a good list for sure
i'll be trying them all out

They may be touristy but when my brother was sick last summer and wanted to get to grimaldis before he passed and I asked my sister in law in manhatten to go there and get me 5 pies and they were so nice to her .
They discounted her order w/o asking and gave her free cannolis . They didnt have to do that either . I cant say anything but good about them and I do like their pizza Ive always had good luck there

Billy bob : What place to you consider is your favorite ?

I wanted to say thanks to all you guys for all this information

Thats real interesting . Two pizza places now . Frank Pepes opened a new store in Hartford and it wasnt as good as the one in New Haven . i think it was the new oven . I was therein New Haven last weekend and had a clam pizza it was pretty good , I like several pizza places and they are all real good and each is a little different in its own way and that makes it hard for me to say one is better than the other

Jon Thanks for that info . Would you share some of those places with me so I can give them a try . I am known to drive 3 hrs for good pizza . I really think its one of my favorite foods

Awesome will you post when it opens ? I like D Farras a lot . Any other great pizza you would recommend around the area

I was at Grimaldis Pizza in Brooklyn not to long ag to find they moved next door . I didnt go in . Did the coal oven go with them in the new building . Did a new place open in their old location and is it as good ???
