Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana Ranks #1 in The Daily Meal's 101 Best Pizzas in America for 2014

New Haven, CT -- Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, a third-generation owned and operated pizzeria, continues to earn  rave reviews with their newest accolade from the popular online food magazine The Daily Meal. Ranked #1 in The Daily Meal's “101 Best Pizzas in America”, the Frank Pepe story began nearly 90 years ago in 1925, in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven, CT and has since been touted as a “New Haven Institution”.

Served on hotel style sheet pans, customers have grown to appreciate Pepe’s uneven shaped pizza, blistered and charred edges and patriarch Frank Pepe’s no nonsense approach to creating Napoletana style pizza. The Daily Meal highlights Pepe’s popular fresh clam pie made with daily hand-shucked fresh clams (up to 90 bushels a week), grated parmesan, olive oil, lots of garlic and oregano.

“This is a Northeastern pizza genre unto its own, and Pepe's is the best of them all — freshly shucked, briny littleneck clams, an intense dose of garlic, olive oil, oregano, and grated Parmesan atop a charcoal-colored crust. The advanced move? Clam pie with bacon. Just expect to wait in line if you get there after 11:30 a.m. on a weekend.” The Daily Meal
