The best pizza in New Haven hands down. Get a red pie (no mozz) you won't regret it! Drooling just thinking about it. Be prepared to wait if you're going on a weekend evening, but totally worth it.

Pepe's pizza pies are unique and not like any other. The thin, charred crust at the outer edge, chewy textured center and Italian tomatoe base are unusual and AWESOME! Doubt it? Try it!! We loved it won't hesitate to go back. Dining in or placing an order for take out are both options that may require patience. Allow ample time to be seated and for the pizza to be created and baked after your order is placed. (I was fortunate enough to see several pies made in the smaller building, and it can be best described as an all out blitz to generate goodness under duress.) The pie makers work hard and efficiently to meet what seems like a dozen orders per minute. Our Waitress was AWESOME. Is there a downside? Maybe two: popularity and parking. Pepe's has a great thing going in Little Italy! Available parking is tight and their product is AWESOME!

If you're looking for some of the best pizza around, Frank Pepe is the place to go. The wait time is relatively short, and the staff are both friendly and helpful. Even the salad was delicious! The doppio pepperoni pizza and meatball with ricotta were both amazing. The beer was cold and relatively inexpensive, too. Overall, a great experience

The place for authentic New Haven apizza! Always a line to get in, but worth the wait!

Who’s Pepe’s pizza competition ?

M Renz | Sep 27, 2019
Maria Mongillo | Sep 27, 2019

Sally's Apizza, also on Wooster Street, is most definitely Pepe's competitor. Many people say that Modern Apizza, on State Street, is as good. I've always preferred Pepe's. It's a tradition to get Pepe's then walk to Libby's for an Italian Ice, since childhood. That's probably where my preference originated. The Mashed Potato pie at Bar, in New Haven, is phenomenal. Marino's in West Haven has been a long time favorite as well. 🍕😋

Frank Pepe's pizzas have always been my favorites but I no longer travel to the East Coast. Can anyone point me to the closest thing in California? What I am looking for is texture and flavor of the dough. The wood oven is a plus .

Alan Ho | Sep 27, 2018
mixville2 | Sep 27, 2018

Not that close to Cal, and it depends on where you are . . . but if you can get to Sedona, Grand Apizza, a fine New Haven establishment, has a small pizza shop there called Apizza Heaven run by a relative. Probably one of the only places outside Connecticut you'll see the "apizza" name. Haven't eaten there, but of you're in the area, might be worth a try.
