PIZZA IN CONNECTICUT 🍕

Okay, so, this spot is SUPER underrated and hidden in Derby, CT.

I’m a big fan of New Haven pizza (Sally’s is my absolute fave), but this is just as good and luckily it’s so close to home for me!

If you’re in the area, definitely check it out. 🍕✨

2024/1/7 Edited to

If you're a pizza lover searching for the best places to eat in Connecticut, look no further than Roseland Apizza in Derby. Often overshadowed by the famous New Haven pizzerias like Sally’s and Pepe’s, Roseland Apizza offers an equally exceptional experience. Known for its traditional thin crust and flavorful toppings, this local favorite has earned a loyal following. Visitors rave about the classic cheese pie, which features a perfectly baked crust topped with a rich tomato sauce and a blend of cheeses that melt beautifully in the oven. Additionally, the specialty pizzas loaded with various toppings like spicy sausage and fresh vegetables cater to diverse palates. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming environment that enhances your dining experience. For those looking to explore beyond Derby, New Haven's renowned pizza culture is just a short drive away. However, many locals believe that Roseland Apizza is a slice of heaven worth sharing. For any pizza aficionado or a casual foodie seeking a delightful meal, Roseland Apizza should definitely be on your radar during your culinary adventures in Connecticut.

Naples Pizza in Farmington Ct is excellent. And, I am a pizza snob from Long Island. The owner trained in New Haven.
