AI-generated summary
People say the New Haven original is the real thing and the Yonkers and Stamford franchises aren't close. A few regulars disagree and think Yonkers holds up fine. The clam pie is the famous order and the divisive one, with several calling it too salty. The coal oven char on the bottom crust gets praised across the board.
