Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

I ranked my New Haven pizza trip Pepe’s > Modern > Sally’s, which I thought would be the opposite. Pepe’s to me was probably the most unique wheel I’ve ever had. Light, thin, crispy, sweet sauce, sharp cheese, and I like the little oil they drizzle on. Had half plain, half pepperoni & hot red peppers. Ate out of the box at the nearby park with my pals. A great moment.

Great crust, good cheese and pepperoni but sauce was lacking in flavor.

Really close score to Sally's, Sally's won only because it seemed more unique than what I'm used to.

The greatest in the world

Excellent pizza, crisp crust, great flavor.

Solid pizza - a little overhyped. Crispy - good firm bite. Cheese a little heavy and lacking some sauce. Love the history of the place and the classic uniqueness of the establishment.

Zero flop. Great char. Spectacular in it's simplicity. OG Frank Pepe's every time.

Going over your application and I see that you wrote "allergic to shellfish" under disabilities. Is this a joke?

Incredible sauce with a crispy crust - one of the best pies in New Haven for good reason!

Crust is burnt, but somehow not very crispy. Was expecting a lot more flavor. Decent slice, but not up to the hype.

Not quite on Sally’s level but still a very solid pie

CONSUMED Deserves portnoys 8.5, absolutely fantastic bread with a nice char, great sauce with nice tasting tomatos, cheese was really good and melted fully as well. Only issue was it’s a bit floppy

This is a special pie. Everything about it was just excellent. Crisp,char, and crunch were amazing. Sauce and cheese right on as well. I can see why this place has been open since 1925 I’d very easily take the drive from NY any given weekend.

Pepe’s is a 9.4. No questions asked.

PizzaMoon stop #4. Just left Sally’s Apizza and headed to Frank Pepe and these are completely different pies, same char but different flavor. I give this a 7.9 as my wife enjoyed it more due to the golden brown crisp crust as she gave it 8.4 with an average of 8.2.
