I have only had pizza a couple places, we like Sammy Joes, Red Sauce and Flippers brick oven. Not a fan of Bravos.

OP, your tagline says Connecticut. So I'll express this to you as someone who knows northern pizza and who has a preference for NY/New Haven/Boston style pizza:

Avoid Flippers at all costs. It's worse than Domino's (using the above as the benchmark).

I've heard from a few northern neighbors that Paisano's is decent.
I'll add Giovanni's at Wedgewood in the same plaza as the Publix (a couple of doors down).

You won't find anything truly comparable to NYC/New Haven/Boston pizza anywhere in Florida, and most sauce here comes from a can, not from the restaurant's kitchen. They use Florida tap water to make the dough, and that's sort of like adding a forkful of half-chewed well-done filet mignon to a bowl of Kibbles and Bits and calling it gourmet dog food.

Still looking for anything even close to Pepe’s, Colony Grill, Vittoria’s in Westerly, RI etc etc but afraid it is a lost cause. Still have not tried many here, but Paisano’s my favorite so far. Don’t find Flippers that bad if eating in

FYI, Paisano's and Piesano's are two different restaurants. Paisano's is located in the Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. area. But, there is a Piesano's in The Villages at Lake Deaton Plaza.

I ate at Red Sauce last week for the first time and ordered a pepperoni pizza. I thought it was mediocre. I’m afraid I’ve been spoiled by eating too many pizza slices in NYC. I can enjoy thin and crispy flatbread pizzas, but I didn’t think the one at Red Sauce was very good. But I’ll try again. Maybe it’s usually better.

After reading posts from the new people who posted about their golf cart trips, you guys it looks like Sammy Joe's is 21 miles. That's about right, I'm 14 miles from Fenney.
