Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, known locally as Pepe's, is a popular pizza restaurant in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut.

Pepe's was founded in 1925 by Frank Pepe, an Italian immigrant. Pepe moved his restaurant to its current location on Wooster Street in the 1930s; the smaller original restaurant still operates under the name "The Spot" and serves much the same menu. Both restaurants are currently run by Pepe's descendants. In March 2006, another branch of Pepe's was opened in Fairfield, Connecticut.

Pepe's originated the New Haven-style thin-crust apizza (closely related to Neopolitan-style Italian pizza) which is baked in coal-fired brick ovens. Pepe's is particularly known for its white pizza topped with fresh clams. [1]

Another Wooster Street pizza restaurant, Sally's Apizza, was founded by Pepe's nephew Sal Consiglio in 1938. Sally's and Pepe's have a long rivalry and pizza fans are divided over which serves the better pizza.[1][2]

Pepe's is a busy establishment, and New Havenites will cheerfully wait in line outside the restaurant for hours in all kinds of weather. [2] Having to wait to be seated is almost as much of a New Haven tradition as the pizza itself. [2] Pepe's is also a major tourist attraction in New Haven. [3]
