Quick plug for Savoy in West Hartford. Literally the best pizza I've ever had.

Savoy, really? To give us an idea on your calibration, what is the 2nd and 3rd best pie you had?

Domino's and Digiorno, of course.

But seriously I don't typically have places I consider my favorite, though I've tried all the hot New Haven spots, eaten plenty of NY slices, and even pretended to enjoy Chicago deep dish, which is actually a casserole marketed as pizza. But the crust at Savoy is crispy enough to give some crunch and still soft enough to get some chewiness. Obviously it's subjective but nothing beats it for my money. Last time we went I got a pie with bbq sauce, beef, pickled jalapenos and shallot straws and it was out of this world.

Edit: I realized I kinda dodged the question, so for context I also really like Wellington Pizza near UConn and East Ave in Norwalk, but I wouldn't put those in the same league as Savoy. I also don't really love New Haven style, though I don't hate it

Side note, I used to legit like the frozen mystic pizzas but they fucked that up HARD. Totally new recipe, tastes bland as hell even for frozen pizza

Lots of great choices in WH. Savoy is just one of many.
