"Drove from NYC for their pizza after watching the OneBite video. Glad I made the drive as the pizza was delicious! Very charred, not oily or greasy, delicious blend of cheese & thin- exactly what you'd expect from CT pizza. It reminded me a little of Modern. I know a worker there used to work at Modern so maybe he's got the secret touch πŸ˜‰. We got two pies & both were perfect. I give Olde World an 8.4"
