My wife is absolutely nuts about their pizza. I admit there is something special about the sauce they use. It's brighter, fresher than the canned stuff that everyone else has... not that I think Asylum makes their own sauce; but they must do something to it to give it that great flavor.
I do, however, wish they made an Italian style crust (known as New York style in these parts), which is thinner and has a nice chewy rim as opposed to the crunchy Greek style crust used here. That'd be my only complaint, but heck, I grew up in NYC.
Although not on the menu, I recommend Pastrami and Mushroom with extra Mozzerella. They will cheerfully make whatever you want provided they have the ingredients in house. A family operated business, you can't find nicer people anywhere - and real nice people are not all that easy to come by in CT.
The pizza here is really good the crust and sauce is excellent, the toppings just enhance it. Hard to find a regular crust pizza thats good around here. Pacman is fun while your waiting. Not too crazy for the rice pudding its a little blah.
Simply stated ... the Best Pizza in Norwich.
