At Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, our story began in 1925 with a commitment to family tradition, originality, and quality. Over the past 100 years, we’ve grown from our roots in New Haven to 17 locations, sharing our iconic New Haven-style apizzas (ah-beetz) with guests far and wide. Our grandfather, Frank Pepe, crafted pizzas using simple, time-honored recipes that have fed generations. Known for our signature white clam pizza and crispy, chewy, charred crust, we’re proud to be one of the nation’s oldest and most respected pizzerias, offering a truly authentic experience at every location.
Casual local pizzeria chain serving a menu of coal-fired pies, beer & wine since 1925.

We ordered a small half Original Tomato Pie/half Original Tomato with Mozzarella, a small half Doppio Pepperoni/half Pepperoni & Hot Cherry Tomatoes, and a liter of Foxon Park Soda Root Beer. Everything we ordered was worthy of our of taste buds. It’s tough to rank, but the original tomato pie was ultimately my favorite. But the pepperoni with hot cherry tomatoes was addictive and the root beer with it was the perfect combo. That Foxon root beer is something else.
Coming from the West Coast, my immediate reaction of walking into Frank Pepe’s and seeing the pizzaiolos with their massive pizza peels was, “Whoa!” And the coal fired oven in action is unreal. I love being able to see what’s going on in the kitchen, and the setup for this pizzeria is incredibly cool. Plus, the accessibility of the toilet (designed to support elderly and handicapped) and the homey feel of the changing table just made it feel like a restaurant that cares about its customers. I love it!
Our waitress, Jodi, really brought the experience home. She was welcoming, provided excellent recommendations, and was simply a delightful person. The service from start to finish was superb. I loved Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana and will definitely dine here again.

The staff was fantastic, our server was awesome, the pizzas were perfect, the Foxon Park soda is a must, the Pepes salad was fresh, the cannoli pie was delicious, and the atmosphere was great! Another 10 out of 10 for the legendary Frank Pepes! We’ve been to all 17 locations and they’re all consistent across the board. The Manchester team is one of the best! We have been customers for life. Everything was spot on!

I was in Connecticut for a short business trip and, of course, had to experience true New Haven-style pizza. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana did not disappoint! It absolutely lived up to everything I’ve heard about authentic Connecticut pizza.
The sauce was rich and full of flavor, and the crust had that perfect coal-oven char that makes every bite incredible. The balance of texture and taste was spot on — crispy and perfectly baked.
There are plenty of pizza places to choose from in Connecticut, but this one is a true home run. I’ll definitely be back for another pizza the next time I’m in the area!

Even if it isn’t a New Haven location, I think this is formidable. The food is great and the service is superb. We will definitely go back.

We did half clam, half shrimp and it came out fast, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The service here is really great. This was our first time here and she was so helpful and gave us great recommendations. I am not an expert on this style pizza but I thought it was great!

First time having frank pepes, heard so much good things about the pizza and it definitely lived up to our expectations, possibly exceeded them. Pickup time was extremely fast, wasn’t greasy like most chains and was perfectly thin and crisp with the right amount of char. Ingredients tasted fresh with the perfect ratio. My mother has a sensitive stomach and the sauce was perfect. I can see why this is the best pizza in the US

Stopped in around 9pm for a quick dinner on the ride home. Tried the sampler of 3 specialty pizzas and it didn’t disappoint. The waitress even clued us into the rewards program and got an instant $10 off. Friendly staff and delicious food at a fair price, what more can you ask for? The leftovers even reheated well (400F for a few minutes).

Pizza was delicious it had a nice thin crust, the sauce was nice and flavorful and it did not have an excessive amount of char! We also purchase the cannoli pie and I highly recommended it was delicious! It is pricey but the size medium felt more like a large so for us it was worth it.

I came here with my family for our first try of New Haven Pizza. We got half-pies — tomato pie & white clam; mootz & regular. Great pies. Great service and pretty space. I loved the large pizza oven! My son who is from Brooklyn and doesn’t like pizza, liked this pizza.

Delicious New Haven style pizza! We ordered four different pies which were all fantastic. The crust is so thin and crispy. They use fresh high quality ingredients. I love the tiny grease cup pepperoni. Get enough so you can bring some home.
