Return to Frank Pepe's

Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana
157 Wooster Street
New Haven, CT
(See my previous post here)

So, I wasn't entirely impressed with Frank Pepe's pizza the first time I went there. I just thought it was regular, greasy pizza that I could get anywhere but I was persuaded to return for their seasonal special. Actually, there are two seasonal specials: the fresh tomato pie (fresh tomato with mozzarella, garlic and basil) and the clam pizzas. I only had the stomach for one so I chose the clams and I was not disappointed. These are real, fresh clams mind you. None of these are from a can. Hence, when there are no fresh clams, there is no clam pizza at Frank Pepe's. I just had the small clam pizza with red sauce. They added a good deal of garlic along with this treat and it was spectacular. The one problem was that the clams were all bunched up on one side of the pizza so there were some slices that were left out of the tasty frenzy. Nothing that a few rearranged clams couldn't fix though.

If you're in New Haven, check these guys out and try the clam pizza.

Again, what's up with the small soda glasses?
