Yonkers NY: Frank Pepe's in the 'New York Times'
[Photographs: New York Times] The New York Times takes a look at the newish Frank Pepe's branch that opened in Yonkers in early November of last year: The pizza is very good — although you have to be careful what you order. The original tomato pie, a Spartan exercise in dough topped only with crushed tomatoes and a sprinkling of Romano cheese, tasted of good-quality canned tomatoes and little else. That same pie with mozzarella was better, and one with mozzarella and spicy, fennel-spiked pepperoni was downright delicious. A version with plump marinated shrimp was also surprisingly good. And...Dear Slice: 'How the NYC Trip Turned Out'
As you may recall, "TJ" wrote in for some Slice advice on where to eat pizza during a trip to the NYC area. Here's a followup from his trip. --The Mgmt. I was only able to get to Di Fara. What an experience—very, very good pizza, but not nearly the best ever. Enjoyed the experience. I did not like that they par-bake the square pies in advance, and though they are a better value purely in terms of amount of food for your dollar, all three of us present vastly preferred the round pie. [Me, too. —The Mgmt.] I did...Connecticut: Frank Pepe's vs. Frank Pepe's 'The Spot'
The larger "newer" Frank Pepe's oven vs. the older oven at "The Spot." Photographs by Jason Perlow On his blog, Off the Broiler, Jason Perlow breaks down the differences between the "new" Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana on Wooster Street and Frank Pepe's "The Spot," the smaller original location tucked away just behind it. The Spot is a smaller, less hectic location, that has a more intimate atmosphere, and we didn’t have to wait an hour to get in. Of course, now that Jason has blogged about this "secret," I suspect the lines at "The Spot" will get longer and...Blogger: Frank Pepe's 'Overrated, Overhyped, Awful'
The blog Food Network Humor reacts to Alan Richman's pizza list in GQ, focusing on No. 12 Frank Pepe's: Here’s the thing: I live in Connecticut. I’ve waited in the lines. I’ve feasted on the various “world famous” pizza pies. And I’ve left disappointed, every time. Sure the place is filled with history, and yes, they cook in a coal oven, but so what? The result is a tired, dated restaurant and pizzas that are so chewy you can hardly swallow them. The truth is, Pepe’s serves the worst pizza I have ever eaten in my life (and I’ve...Alan Richman Names Top 25 Pizzas in the U.S.

Here, word on upcoming locations of Frank Pepe's —The Mgmt. Photograph by Robyn Lee Hey Adam, On our way back from picking our daughter up from school in Boston (the more you pay for tuition, the less school they actually provide), we stopped in New Haven for our favorite lunch. Having been to Pepe's a few times before, we had...Openings: Branch of New Haven's Famous Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Coming to Yonkers, New York
Photograph by Robyn Lee The Westchester County Business Journal has it that Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana is opening a branch in Yonkers, New York. "This will be our first venture outside our home base of Connecticut," said Kenneth Berry, chief operating officer of Frank Pepe's Development Company. He said the company hopes to build three or four more restaurants in Westchester over the next four to five years. William Fonte, of Trifont Realty, said the business partners are looking at sites in New Rochelle, Rye, North White Plains and Port Chester. OK. But are they going to use a...Dear Slice: Thanks for the Tip on New Haven
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got ... Photograph by Robyn Lee Hello, Love your website. Just made it to Frank Pepe for the first time and thought I'd share. Drove from New York City to Cape Cod this past Saturday and pulled over in New Haven. Couldn't remember the name of the pizza places in New Haven, so the first cop I saw I asked for directions to "that famous pizza place." He gave me directions to Frank Pepe. I arrived there at 1:45 p.m., and even though it was 95 and humid, there was a line...Pizza Belt North: The I-95, Merritt Parkway Pizza Guide
