Pizza 101 & Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Pomfret

We are just out cruising all these back roads. Do you call them that here? House hunting. Needed a bite to eat. Another day of house drive byes, houses are starting blend. While house hunting today I realized all these pizza places are not about the pizza. There is a pizza place on every corner out here. In Texas, it’s chicken on every corner. Looking into these pizza menus on google maps I see grinders. Something I grew up with on the west coast in Oregon. Just west of us in Philly they have hoagies, it’s a major competition. So finding the one in the middle of nowhere idk if I’m in Connecticut , RI, or Massachusetts anymore with a good review, it’s easy. They all specialize in something yet very few sell pizza. The daily specials are the ticket. Today the clams were just brought in this morning. Soooo I got my two favorite things at once. I got fried clams and a grinder😂😂😂at a pizza place. Y’all nailed it on the fried clams. Being from the Oregon coast, clam digging every weekend. I won’t just order clams (been in Texas too long) but it was on the special menu. And I’ve been up there in Ipswich, (travel for food) now I want someone to show me where I can dig my own on the East coast. Then I want to bring them to you and you can show me how you made such a perfect batter. Not overly fried, Not greasy, not salty thank you. Perfectly meaty as I remember. I am pretty sure I won’t find them that good again. But then WAIT‼️‼️‼️, there is the grinder. lol. I should have just shared my husband’s, he got a large. I got my own. Guess what. We ate it all. Best waitress ❤️💯 I wish I got your name, I got so food excited. I’m saving you as my favorite and we will be back, I have to see what else is on that daily special I can’t believe I didn’t get a picture of...

(Sunday April 14th) Take out order was awful. Fries were ancient, very overcooked and cold even when first picked up. This was the worst chicken Caesar salad I have ever had. Slightly brown lettuce, chicken was very dry and tasted stale.. definitely not made today. They didn't include any of the sauces, salad dressings or ketchup. (Heads up that there is an additional charge for these basic things but they still missed it.) They even missed the tzasiki sauce and gave us the gyro dry. The gyro meat was so overcooked it had a mouth feel like burned bacon so score another specimen on the "worst of" list here at 101 Pizza! The pasta dishes were also terrible. They give you a lot of pasta with the pasta meals but the pasta was incredibly overcooked.. very very mushy.. almost gelatinous... like overcooked to the point that it doesn't want to be picked up on a fork and will fall apart when you try to lift it. Garlic bread was sort of burned too. They had good reviews online but they must all be from friends of theirs because this place is the pits. They were grudgingly apologetic on the phone and offered to drop off the sauces since I had picked up the order and was already home but it's already been over an hour and they have not shown up yet. (The food was pretty gross to begin with but now it's much much worse and what was edible to begin with is way past that.) Worst pizza place I have been to in many many years.we had a large order and it looks like they threw it together from a lot of things they were planning to throw out because restaurants don't generally serve basic food if it...
