Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana157 Wooster Street
New Haven, CT
(Visit their website!)
My dining companion really wanted to try this place so we took a trip into New Haven to see if it was any good. Frank Pepe's claims to be the first place that served pizza in the U.S. OZ said that the plain cheese and plain tomato pizzas were good.
Apparently, this is how one is supposed to judge a pizza. I had the sausage and mushroom one (half) and shrimp with garlic (other half). Pretty decent but not particularly spectacular in my book. The pizzas were a bit greasy but that is to be expected. They gave us really small soda glasses and didn't offer to refill them so I'm led to believe that the sodas are overpriced. That's not fair given that everyone needs soda with pizza. Pizzas came in large metal trays, hot out of the oven. I'll just say that there were plenty of leftovers and those leftovers were terrific. What is it about cold pizza that makes it so good?
Here's the medium mushroom and sausage and shrimp with garlic.
