Pizza Review
-Pepe’s Original Tomato- Was excited when I moved to Tuckahoe, knowing that a Pepe’s location was eight minutes down the road, but if you’re expecting to draw comparisons to the original Pepe’s in New Haven, expect otherwise. First, there were only two people working in the entire place, scrambling like mad. They were extremely hard-working and deserved to be tipped well, but to no fault of their own, all of the orders were mixed up and my pie was sitting there for ten-plus additional minutes. Secondly, while the crust looked clean, crispy, and had a good undercarriage, it tasted on the stale side and there was no crunch. Lastly, while the sauce didn’t taste canned in any way, it certainly wasn’t authentic, either. All in all, the pie was average at best but just don’t go in expecting similarities with New Haven.
