Alan Richman, GQ Magazine’s food & wine critic, had the enviable task of traveling the country in search of the 25 Best Pizzas. Sadly, only one Connecticut eatery (Sally’s Apizza in New Haven) made the list. I have a sneaking suspicion Mr. Richman drove right on through Hartford on his way to/from New York/Boston/New Haven, and as such missed out on the cheesy, saucy, garlicky, crusty delicious-ness that is a pie from First & Last in the South End.  Our only consolation is that the lack of additional publicity won’t add to the already long wait on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
