Sure...you turn right at Pepe's Pizza on Wooster Street in New Haven.



You know from Pepe's, eh? Absolutely the best pizza in the known
universe. When were you in New Haven? Are you old enough to remember any
of the *real* Jimmie's in Savin Rock?
Sure do...you used to have to fight the seagulls in the parking lot for
your food. Home of the "Original Split Dog" I also remember riding the
Red Devil coaster(not the original one that burned) and I can still hear
the "Fat Lady Singing"

Are you a native of the area?

I remember the first Jimmie's, and then the bigger one that was built
right behind the remnants of Savin Rock...that was the one with the huge
parking lot and the great food line with the dogs cooking. The Gagliardi
Brothers, I recall, as the owners. They had some nice boats and a great
house out in Milford.

I used to like the Wild Mouse. And the B-29,


Yes, I was a native til 1995, then I moved to NC. I also remember the
new restaurant which had none of the charm that the old place had.
Phyliss built right next door. They also opened a place in the Hamden
Plaza. I seemed to remember that they had quite a yacht that they kept
in Milford. I lived in the valley and I have a son who still lives in
Wallingford. My brother and sister both live in Naugatuck where they
raise naugas for naugahide.

Might as well jump in as an old Connectikite (def: one from CT) myself. I
lived in Cheshire from 1972 - 1986. My mother and brother still live there.
I remember Pepe's, as well as Sallys, and Bimonte's (in Hamden) very well.
Though I understand Joe Bimonte died a few years back. I thought the place
next to Pepe's (same owner. same pie was called "The Spot?" Did that change?

The best pie in the world comes from that part of CT! I miss it!

Sallys is the 2nd best pizza. Did you ever check out the bakeries right
next door? Super Italian pastries.

In the good old days, and I mean old, all the Italian purveyors would
participate in the Feast of the Assumption festival, which was held at
the end of Whalley Avenue, just under the Merrit Parkway. Every
good-looking olive-skinned beauty in southern Connecticut would show up
there. Whew!

I went to Derby and Seymour High. I used to go to Rossini's in Cheshire
and the Town Line Pizza and Seafood. My favorite italian food was
Roseland in Derby. There's also a great little place in Wallingford on
Rt.5 called Fratelli's

Yup, Rossini's has good pie as well. It was started (when I was in high
school) by a couple of guys that worked at Bimonte's in Hamden. Same pie
w/out the drive. It's still there, and doing very well. Great calzones too!
My bro always calls me as he's driving there to pick up his order....

DAMN, I'm hungry now!

All the best-looking gals lived west of the river.

Yeah, but we have better looking sheep.

Plus, the climate conditions east of the river weren't good for nauga
ranching.

It's ok - the climate is perfect for Vinyl trees.

Later,
