I've been to the OG Pepe's in New Haven. The clam pie is killer. 

I keep saying I am going to stop there as we drive back from VT.  Will have another chance next week -- we'll see!

It's a great town. The taco trucks along Long Island Sound are top notch as well. When you see cabeza and lingua options on the menus, you know you're getting the real deal.

Pepe's, Sally's, Modern in New Haven are all good.  Best pizza on the planet. And yes, I've been to Italy, Chicago, St. Louis and I lived in NYC.  Nothing beats New Haven Pizza.

Now hold on a minute...
Clam pizza??  WTF?  Lol

So with all of the unacceptable versions of pizza that get dissed, fucking clams are on the OK list?

Its something special. Unique to CT originally but gaining popularity.

Yeah, man. we were visiting a friend there, and being a red sauce, mozz purist, I thought that it sounded icky.

First of all, it's a white pie, which I'd always thought was just wrong. Sauce was always an essential for me -- my favorite part, really. Next, it has a whole mess of fucking clams on it. Now I love steamers, but that was always the extent of my clam enjoyment -- OK, that and the few that come with an order of seafood fra diavolo or in a serving of paella. Still, what, in my mind, basically amounted to an open-face hot clam and cheese sandwich sounded beyond fucking disgusting. But I trusted our friend and tried it, and it was absolutely delicious. We ended up ordering another one and taking most of the margherita pie home that we had ordered for me home.

I still need to go back and try the tomato pie sometime. That's supposed to be good as well.

That is awesome!

No shit!

The self-anointed pizza gurus seem to think they can dictate what crappy toppings are acceptable.

I’ll have pineapple on my pizza a million times before I’ll go with clams lol.

I mean Christ... what’s next? Scruffy’s gonch?

I'm not a big clam guy, but I'd try a clam pie from this place that makes it tasty.  
I don't have a problem with clams or pineapple on pizza, I am inclusive to the max, make that pizza an orgy if you want!

So special sauce on your slice, Gambsy?

I can't remember if it's mcgruff or dyer that hates mayo, but one of them is gonna puke in their mouth a little with that image!!
