What’s special about Pepe’s?

New Haven Apizza (AH-beetz): Charred. Chewy. Crispy.

Frank Pepe originated New Haven-style Apizza in 1925, and they have carried on the tradition at all their locations. Their claim is, “The best ingredients on the best dough cooked in the best coal-fired ovens.”

I’ve eaten at this location with out-of-town COG friends this summer, and it got a thumbs-up from a native New Yorker. I used to work in New Haven and visited the original Pepe’s location multiple times. The pizza at this location is just as good as eating at the New Haven location, without the city traffic and waiting in line for a table.

There is plenty of off-street parking. Ride or cage there – there will be no judging!

Please register so we have a head count and can ensure sufficient seating.
