Where We Live

It’s not “pizza” - it’s abeetz! How Connecticut became the pizza state


Listen Later

This hour is bound to make you very hungry because we’re talking about New Haven pizza. This year, U.S. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro officially declared New Haven, the Pizza Capital of America.

Today, we talk to some pizza lovers. We'll also hear about a new documentary that follows pizza lovers beyond Connecticut. New Haven pizza is so legendary that pizza makers are now trying to duplicate it across the country.

But up first, Connecticut doesn’t just have great pizza. Many food influencers are bringing a lot of attention to local restaurants and food makers. We hear from one content creator exploring "the best culinary delights in Connecticut."

GUESTS:

  • David Milton: Hartford based content creator and foodie (@DamGram and @DamTok)
  • Colin M. Caplan: Founder of the Taste of New Haven, and pizza historian and guru.
  • Gorman Bechard: Director of "Pizza, A Love Story" and the new film “A Slice of America: Charred in the Florida Sun”
  • Jimmy Fantin: owner of Fantini’s New Haven Style Apizza in Stuart, Florida
