Perrotti's West Street Pizza & Pub - Middlebury, CT

Perotti's thin-crust pizzas have a fine crunch around the edges and a nice supportive chewy underside all the way to the center. The top of each broad triangle glistens with a faint veneer of olive oil, and the cheese spread across the surface -- a savory blend of mozzarella and provolone -- never oozes or causes the crust beneath it to turn steamy soft. Open since 1988, this modest cafe has become a pizza landmark in central Connecticut.

A classic pizza on a Neapolitan (aka New Haven) crust: sausage, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. There is enough sausage that you get a clump of it with virtually every bite.

A small 'white pie' (no tomato sauce) is a hearty meal for one. This is topped with slices of fresh tomato and bits of sharp, raw garlic.

Slices-to-go are warmed on the brick-floored oven just behind the counter. This plate holds a couple of pieces of stromboli

No danger of topping slippage from Perrotti's stromboli -- a neat packaged meal

Even if you order only pizza, the meal will begin with a basket of bread and a cup of oil for dipping. The bread is nothing special, but anything dipped in good olive oil is a pleasure.

Here's a list of flavors posted at the end of September. Come summer, Bill Perrotti plans to open The Trolley Stop, a separate walk-up ice cream window around the side of the building.
