legislators heard arguments Friday on whether pizza should be designated as the
state’s official food.
Rep. Patricia A. Dillon, of New Haven, says the bill could promote small
businesses and the state’s pizza tourism.
It would also honor the state’s strong pizza-eating and pizza-making
traditions.
“This measure…I believe really celebrates an essential part of our culture as
we move forward in the digital economy,” Dillon says. “We should not forget the
past that bonds us and the quality of our communities.”
The creator of the pizza bill, Colin Caplan, says Connecticut
has some of the oldest pizzerias in the United States and the most pizzerias
per capita in the country.
