I love dry humor, so thanks for quite a few good laughs! I didn't realize Greek style pizza originated in New London, as it seemed to be everywhere in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. I grew up in a small town with two stoplights and a half dozen Greek pizza parlors.

Memories of New London in the early 50’, the 7 Brothers and an elderly couple who sold pizza from their home . Fill up with beer at the 7, then walk to the couple’s home and sit on the porch, in a short while the the most delicious pizza arrived, sadly those days are long gone.

I grew up in CT and heard of "New England Style" Greek Pizza which is served in just about every rural town in Southern New England. More doughy and they use oil in the Greek style.

Thank you so much for this Rick! I grew up in New London eating Greek -Style pizza. I know a bit about pizza and the many regional styles in the U.S. Now I can add New London Style Pizza to the list! You have enlightened the entire Pizza Universe! Simply brilliant!

New Haven style pizza is what so many people claim is best. I genuinely would give Sally's or Pepe's ashy burnt pizzas about a 2 - wouldn't eat it unless it was free and I was really hungry and there was nothing else to eat. A GOOD CT pizza would be a 10 and I would love to get a decent pizza out here in CA .

Grew up on Pizzarama and sneaking off to Supreme from WHS. Now live 15 minutes from these 2 restaurants! Yum. (PS go Tulane!) Great video.

This is great. I had heard that a few places In Mass call Shoreline/ Greek Style from around here New London Style.

New London was there from at least 1975 or so and the original location was right near the new one, in West Acton. Loved it as a kid...super nice family...

Well done Rick. I saw the shop in Concord many years ago and wondered about the New London style I tried it and the pizza was good, but I agree it's Greek pizza and it is like the pizza in New London.

A lot of people are not familiar with "Greek Style" pizza. It is usually cut in squares and is a blend of cheeses, which gives it a unique flavor. I am from New England aka the "Pizza Belt", where pizza is typically a thin-crust, but I also love deep-dish as well. 🍕 😋

To anyone paying attention, Google "The Pizza Belt" and you'll view an incredibly accurate map of where the best pizzerias in the US are located and outside the belt area where it's rare to find a great pizzeria. The "belt" covers all of New Jersey except ends at Ocean City. It's highly accurate because a few months ago, May, 2024 my Dad and I were driving North from D.C. and decided to do a coastal drive through New Jersey and see Cape Ann, Wild Wood etc. In Avalon, there are very few restaurants and bars and we needed a bite. We found a pizzeria, but the slices didn't look right and they wanted $11.50 for two, that's nuts! Jersey Shore boardwalk pizzerias charge over $5.00 for a slice, but they're huge and are equal to two slices, so the $5.00+ price is justifiable even though it's mediocre pizza.

Grew up down the street from ocean pizza, actually went to school with Luigi lol. I live in South Korea and make pan style pizza at my pub here. I just call it CT style pizza, meaning our state is home to the best pizza in the country.

Can you elaborate on the cheese? It's a blend, right? Cheddar/mozzarella? Also, the dough?

What ever happened to the pizza place on Truman street just a couple doors down from saltonstall when it was a school they had the best pizza I have ever eaten and they are the mark that I judge all others by I've had some good pizza but nothing to compare with theirs not to mention grinders

I'd never heard of "New London-style" pizza before this video, but I have had Greek pizza and like it.

4:24 That's a sloppy claim to make. Pizzarama was founded in 1962. The former restaurant run by Costas Kitsatis known as the Pizza House was making this style since 1955, they have the claim as the originators of this style.

Living next to new London my entire life and knowing just how much of a piece of shit the city is, the expectations of this 100% wound not be worth the ride
