Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

would have been in upper 8s but bad service 2 hr wait for pie

This is my 1st pizza in New Haven and it definitely didn't let me down. The crust was amazing! It was slightly chewing which I loved!!! Good sauce and great cheese. Love it!

Alright! Here's a new pizza review that's finally happening!!! It's the original Frank Pepe's! And it's one of the oldest pizzerias ever, it opened 100 years ago! It's our first Connecticut pizza to try there, especially when it's New Haven style! It's known for the Tomato Pie pizzas, we tried half Tomato Pie with mozzarella, and half without mozzarella. And OMG, it's one of the best pizzas in New Haven! It's highly recommended, you gotta try this pizza place! Tomato Pie without Mozzarella: 9.7 Michael's rating: Tomato Pie with Mozzarella: 9.9! Tomato Pie without Mozzarella: 9.6

The tomato here yet again was better than the cheese, really solid and taste better when cold

Sauce is watery drive all the way from the city to eat this and it’s good but not a high 8. Better sauce could have gotten it above 8

Absolutely deserving of all the hype. We got 4 pies (tomato, margarita, pepperoni, and clam) and I can’t tell you which was best because every bite was better than the last. I don’t know what tomatoes they’re using but they must have an unreal San Marzano plug because the sauce is some of the best I’ve ever had. The clam pie was also arguably the best one I’ve ever had, but this review is based purely on the tomato pie. If you’re in New Haven or even just in the general area, this is an absolute must.

Tops Sally’s in every way possible

Pizza was amazing, ingredients fresh, the staff was welcoming, my idea of the perfect New Haven style pizza.

Great pizza overall, tad bit greasy but amazing sauce

Wow. Super thin crust. Loaded with pepperoni. Great crispy crust light and airy. Great sauce. World class pizza.

We had both the cheese, and a meatball/ricotta. Honestly, wasn’t blown away. The pizza was good, thought it wasn’t crispy enough, and there’s a place nearby by home in Charlotte, NC where I felt I could get equally good pizza. Not sure what the hype was about. It was good, it was not worth the hype.

Restaurant, ambience, vibes, staff were all great. Original tomato pie with mozzarella was just fine. A little bland but got better once you add parm and some salt. Wanted to love it bc it had everything going for it, but it was just alright.

Did a cheese and pepperoni as always for the test…. Delicious pizza. Crispy crunchy tangy delicious pizza!!!

Crispy New Haven style pizza. The sauce has a great flavor. Also known for their white clam pie.

Good pie. A lil greasy, but solid.

Solid slice definitely. Would have liked it if crust was a little more well done

So I can’t leave a 10 based on Dave’s scoring but this is the most amazing pizza I’ve ever eaten! Flew from San Diego to Boston and drove down to try this one and it was totally worth it!! 100% will be back!!
