So 70s and 80s there was quite a pizza desert going on in this area, I think people were happy with a certain quality, and crave it as that's what they grew up with. Heck even middletown back then had really bad pizza (from what old timers tell me regarding type and style). Is this the plaza at the top of 16 and 149?

Maria's Pizza? It's Greek. Owned by a Greek family in Colchester. No shade on Greek pizza but It's No Italian. Sauce is very tomato paste, no fresh basil, no fresh veggies mostly canned ie) mushrooms, cheap black olives.

I think Maria is down a few hundred yards...I was curious if that's the area OP was thinking of. Seems like nothing lasts in that plaza anymore

Papa Z's is the place across from the large Plaza, and Maria's is up the hill on the other side of the gas sstation. I've been pretty happy with the places in Moodus.

I want to say it was in the spot Dianes was - Dianes took over when they went out of business - my dad knew the owner (Side note: I dont know if Dianes is even in that spot anymore)
