The Daily Meal recently compiled a list of the 101 best pizzas in America. Some rankings weren’t too shocking: you might expect Chicago and New York to be pretty well-represented, and they were. One thing that came as no surprise to residents of the Nutmeg State was that six pizzerias in Connecticut made the list. We are glad to be nationally recognized for our great pizzas in Connecticut! Without further adieu, here are the spots that made the cut:
BAR, 254 Crown St, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
BAR is famous for their big list of toppings. You'll find the usuals like pepperoni and sausage, but you can also pick up little-necked clams, mashed potatoes, and egg pizzas here! They came in at 47 on The Daily Meal list.

Colony Grill - Stamford, 172 Myrtle Ave, Stamford, CT 06902, USA
Colony Grill has been around since 1935. Their pizza's so good it actually caused everything else to be removed from the menu. They no longer even have a grill! They were ranked 43 on The Daily Meal's list.
