NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Connecticut Pizza Trail became a reality as state leaders and pizza restaurant owners gathered to announce the kickoff of the campaign Wednesday.

The event was another celebratory congregation of movers, shakers and pizza makers at Modern Apizza on State Street in New Haven.

Anthony Anthony, the chief marketing officer for the state of Connecticut, happily stated, “We are here launching the Connecticut Pizza Trail. It’s the top 100 pizzerias in the state of Connecticut as judged by the people of Connecticut and a panel of foodies.”

More than 13,000 votes determined those pizzerias, according to the state.

Parked next to the mass of media members covering the launch event was a wrapped bus boasting Connecticut as the “Pizza Capital of the United States.”
