After lunching on hot dogs across central Connecticut, dinner was still up for grabs. After my Blackie’s stop, I drove down I-84 to Waterbury and hopped on Route 8 for Elm City. I was determined to enjoy a white clam pie (pictured above) from Dayton Street Apizza, but when I spied Heav*nly Donuts on Route 34 in Derby, I pulled in for a box of their signature donuts and nut horns, the latter made with ground pecans, raspberry filling, and flaky dough:
After salivating over the recent review of West Haven’s Zuppardi’s Apizza by Roadfood detective doggydaddy, I had to see for myself. After picking up three frozen apizzas for the road—and after being chided by the staff for not staying for a hot pie—I realized that I must return soon for the eat-in experience:
Longtime RF confidant pjagger first told Amy & me about Lucibello’s Italian Pastry Shop at 935 Grand Avenue, so I stopped by and bought another box of pastries, including their famous cannolis:
With dessert secured, I headed over to West Rock to find our old standby Westville Apizza at 883 Whalley Avenue. Though its spiciness wasn’t as intense as previous visits, their Buffalo chicken pie was still crispy and delicious as always:
Dayton Street Apizza at 60 Dayton Street is a small shop with the big apizza taste. I couldn’t order a clam pie without my measuring-stick choice, a sausage pie with red sauce:
I then drove to Yale Bookstore on Broadway to enjoy this feast with my foodie pal Sarah. Food comas overcame both of us after our picnic, but there were lots of leftovers to take home!
