Harry's Bishops Corner Highly Rated by Roadfood

Reviewers from the website Roadfood.com recently stopped by Harry's Bishops Corner, and after sampling the restaurant's Fra Diavolo pizza, they pronounced the sizeable, if pricey, pizza "worth every penny."

"Connecticut is packed with Roadfood-worthy pizzerias. The bar has been set awfully high. Can it be possible that Harry's Bishop's Corner clears that bar? With room to spare, based on the Fra Diavolo pie we recently enjoyed," stated the review on Roadfood.com.

Reviewers Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle, who visited Harry's on Oct. 4, described the Fra Diavolo, which is a white pizza with toppings of caramelized onions, intensely sweet roasted tomatoes, chopped shrimp, tiny bay scallops, and pancetta, as "a well-thought-out and perfectly constructed pie."

A sprinkling of tarragon provided a "final stroke of brilliance," said the Bilmes and Boyle, who also appreciated the Fra Diavola's drizzle of pepper-infused oil and the thin well-seasoned crust.

They also enjoyed the complementary lemon sorbet at the conclusion of the meal.
