Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is a renowned pizza restaurant that has been in operation since 1925. It is celebrated for its authentic Italian tradition of baking pizza over charcoal, a technique that has remained unchanged for nearly a century. The restaurant's baked pizza is charred, spicy, fragrant, and chewy, featuring a special secret tomato sauce that attracts many customers from near and far. The menu, including both pizza and salads, is consistently fresh and delicious, earning the restaurant high praise from both dine-in and take-out customers.
Frank Pepe's is particularly known for its New Haven style pizza, which has a thin crispy crust and minimal toppings cooked in a coal oven. The pizzas come out hot, steaming, and delicious. Unique classics like the tomato pie (available only in season) and the clam pie add to its charm. Popular options include the pepperoni and cherry tomatoes, where the crispy pepperoni is lightly burnt and perfectly complemented by spicy peppers. The restaurant is also great for kids and families and is a unique spot for dates.
Customers often start their meals with a Caesar salad and enjoy the popular Foxon Park ginger ale, which many like to bring home. With its delicious, fresh, and hot offerings, the restaurant can get busy, so making a reservation is a good idea. For those who have moved away, Frank Pepe remains a must-stop destination for a memorable pizza experience, often enjoyed even on the way back home.
