Is This New Haven Pizza Review a Troll Job?

I'll always stop and take a curious look at Connecticut content. It's rare but every once in a while, I find something worth using on the I-95 Morning Show.

The other day I found a video that caught my attention. It was posted by a woman that goes by @alexacurtisunfiltered. She was complaining about the parking outside Modern Apizza in New Haven. The comments section became a beatdown and I had a good laugh.

On the one hand, I always complain about parking, driving, and traffic patterns. I don't speak softly on these topics, I'm usually bringing an oversized bag of vim, and vigor to the party. It rarely goes my way; people usually end up taking their daily vengeance dump on my head. You can't win em' all.

A second video from the same lady popped up shortly after. This time, she was reviewing the pizza at Modern. After watching her first video, I knew I had to see more. I’ve never come across anyone giving Modern a bad review. In fact, many of our show's listeners and guests have called it one of the best in the state. Take a look and let me know what you think!

I think we're dealing with a fictional villain here—someone who’s willing to make divisive statements (possibly ones they don't even mean) and take the backlash from the comment section in order to grow their social media presence. It's either that or she's trying to channel her best Dave Portnoy impression

Let's look at the evidence that points to her being a willing heel.

1. The 6: Giving such a poor rating for a New Haven pizza place that is largely beloved is more than surprising. Just based on appearance I can tell that pizza is off-the-charts delicious.

2. The Hoodie: If you couple the comments with the "Greenwich Pilates" hoodie, the case is really coming together. It's one thing to own and wear a "Greenwich Pilates" hoodie but you'd better behave if you do. People are just looking for an excuse to pounce after seeing those words together.

3. The Chewing: You need to go out of your way to make that much noise with your mouth.
