The Constitution State would remain CT's official nickname. Here's part of the story, from reporter Daniel Figueroa IV:

The bill would cast pizza into the ranks of other state symbols like the sperm whale, the state animal; the praying mantis, the state insect; the charter oak, the state tree; and the mountain laurel, the state flower.

There’s also a state mineral, almandine garnet, and state fossil, a three-toed footprint that likely belonged to a relative of the dilophosaurus.

The bill, SB 390, was introduced jointly by nearly all of the legislature’s New Haven delegation — all Democrats.

A version of the bill introduced during the 2021 session passed the State House nearly unanimously, only receiving nine “no” votes, but didn’t get a read on the Senate floor. Colin Caplan, an architect and historian who operates Taste of New Haven authored the bill.

Same crap every year. Fart around with nonsense like this, then at the end of session they'll all say how they wish they could have done something about the truly important issues facing the state but they "ran out of time".

Funny, as of now 617 people up voted a post in this thread asking whether the lawmakers had anything better to do or not. I wonder if we'll see the same reaction here.

Judging by the circle jerk that any pizza related posts become on this sub, this thread is definitely not going to garner the same outrage. The pizza bill is the lords work, according to the sub.

I mean the difference is that declaring pizza the state food is harmless and silly instead of pointlessly cruel.

The pizza isn't even good. Gotta go to long island or New Jersey for good pizza.

Nobody's gonna be upset if you leave the state for pizza. Or forever.

Connecticut pizza is just sauce and cheese on a stale cracker. I could eat 2 large pies if my jaw wasn't so sore from chewing on a rock after just a few slices.
