"I was looking for a new place to try in Stamford, and a Google search listed this place as one of the best Italian places near me. So I checked it out and decided to give it a try. They have an impressive menu and I was hungry, so I went with the Caesar salad with anchovies, Mussels with red sauce (you have a choice), Linguini Pescatore, and finished with lemon sorbet. The salad was very well made but I felt a small bit overpriced for the portion size. The mussels were outstanding. The Linguini was loaded with seafood, and really delicious. The final turn, the sorbet, served in a real lemon, was absolutely outstanding. I enjoyed my meal very much. Service was attentive, and very cordial. I will not hesitate to go back or bring friends there."

"Really great pizza restaurant in downtown Stamford. Great atmosphere and outdoor patio area. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered two pizzas: The Vodka Chiceken Pie and White Pie. Both were high quality, unique pizzas with great flavor. I had to force myself to stop eating because the pizza was so good. Had 4 slices total in one sitting! Definitely a top 10 pizza restaurant. I will definitely return for more if I'm ever in the area again."

"As you can see, I like this place a lot. One of the first times I went to Remo’s was for my sixteenth birthday, I am now about to turn 22! I’ve lived in the Fairfield/Westchester County area my entire life, and have frequented NYC since birth. Remo’s pizza, specifically their margherita pizza with pepperoni holds the highest place in my heart when it comes to pizza. Whenever I would come back from college for breaks or visits, I ask to go to Remo’s! Their other food is great, and my friends and family and I love coming back. The staff is super friendly too :) Also, my friend who has celiac’s never had a problem ordering! Thank you Remo’s!!"

Pizza's Ancient Precursors

Before modern pizza, ancient civilizations enjoyed flatbreads with toppings. Persian soldiers in the 6th century BCE cooked flatbreads with cheese and dates on their shields, while ancient Greeks had plakous, a bread with herbs and cheese. These early versions laid the groundwork for what would eventually become pizza, demonstrating how this beloved dish evolved from simple beginnings.

The Science of Crust

The perfect pizza crust is a blend of art and science, requiring precise ratios of water, flour, yeast, and salt. Neapolitan pizzas are traditionally cooked in wood-fired ovens at high temperatures, creating a signature char and tender interior. In contrast, American styles like New York or Chicago deep-dish use different techniques to achieve their distinctive textures, demonstrating the versatility of pizza dough.
