A local favorite entree is the perfect holiday gift for foodies in Connecticut.
Eat This, Not That compiled a nationwide list of "the best 'gifts for foodies in every state" which included The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg's Holiday Snowflake Gift Box as the top choice for Connecticut.
"Most of the country may be familiar with Mystic Pizza (thanks, Julia Roberts), but residents of the state know where the actual good stuff comes from, and that's in New Haven," Eat This, Not That's Kiersten Hickman wrote. "And get this—you can have New Haven style pizza delivered right to your door wherever you are in the country thanks to a nifty company called Gold Belly. Order six "apizzas" (the traditional name for New Haven Style Pizza) from family-owned Zuppardi's Apizza, which you can easily freeze and enjoy whenever you get a little craving for home."
