2h agoA New Jersey candidate for governor is now taking a jab at Connecticut for calling itself the "Pizza Capital of the United States."
Connecticut now has the Pizza Trail.
News 12 Connecticut has done stories with the state's Chief Marketing Officer Anthony Anthony on Connecticut being the "Pizza Capital of the United States."
A few months ago, News 12 Connecticut went to New York City to show you the Pizza Billboards that Connecticut put up.

In a recent appearance on "Jersey's Best Podcast," Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican nominee in the New Jersey gubernatorial election, was jokingly asked what he would do to combat Connecticut's recent claim.
Both Connecticut and New Jersey have long been regarded as premier pizza states thanks to robust Italian immigration into each state at the turn of the 20th century.
Connecticut has the highest percentage of Italian Americans in the country at 16.5%, while New Jersey follows closely behind at 15.3%.
We'll see how this pans out.
