First taste: Norwalk’s New Haven slice

JOHN DOUGH’S PIZZA BAR: 77 NORTH MAIN STREET, NORWALK

Last month, Chris and I took a brief tour of the upcoming New Haven pizza joint in Norwalk. Chris is currently “stuck” honeymooning in Spain, but a few of us got a chance to try some of the pies. They are as legit as their siblings at Behind the Net in Darien. Our group was split between favoring the meat lover’s and buffalo chicken pies.

Look for them to open early this week.

Today’s excuse to eat pizza

September 5 is, apparently, national cheese pizza day. I’ve done a lot of research on this topic (two minutes on Google) and have scientifically determined that this is a made-up holiday. Compared to other made-up holidays (I’m looking at you, Groundhog Day), this really has a cause I can get behind.

I suspect national cheese pizza day is a thinly veiled attempt to distract breakfast haters from the fact that this week is national waffle week, but I’ll take them both (and a side of antacid) without complaint.

It’s probably worth mentioning that today is just a preamble to October, which is national pizza month. If you need to warm up for the pizza onslaught, check out some of our favorite cheese pizzas:
