Connecticut Food Journey part 2

back in august 2009 before the beginning for the fall semster, me, franklin, ray, jerome and special guest denise went to new haven to check out the pizza scene.

While we were there we hit up the two famous pizza spots on Wooster st, New Haven.
->Frank Pepe's Pizzeria
->Sally's Apizza

These two pizzerias are down the street from each other and have been fighting for the best pizza title for decades.

we stopped by sally's first but they open at 5 PM so by default we had to go to frank's.

summary and conclusion
We got a bad first impression of Frank's. im sure its better than what we had, or at least i hope so. we got a half pepperoni, half regular pie and the famous clam pie. both pies were alright but the crust was over done. i like crispy but i couldnt even fold it in half. i was knocking the pizza on the table making thumping sounds.

At sally's we got the potato pizza, a garden salad-ish pizza (forgot the name) and i think pepperoni pizza. all of the pizza was great. i enjoyed it a lot and i think this is what motivated us to do a part 2.
we also went to Libby's Italian Pastry Shop next do to frank's maybe like 3 times that day. they ices were really good and the lobster tail looking pastry.

we also hit up the malls, outlets and random parts of CT to take a break from constant eating.

Part 2
So tomorrow were going back for a part 2.
were definitely gonna go back to sally's and give franks a second chance. of course libby's for dessert.
we also added some new spots.
-> Colony Grill's pizza for the hot oil pizza i been hearing about that supposedly is amazing.
