| About: | Although there is no stylish decor, the service can be inconsistent, and the wait an inconvenience, this pizzeria is worth every bit of hassle. This is where you go to experience the best pizza in New Haven (always competing with Sally's Apizza , down the street), if not the world. Pepe's introduced pizza to the New World and has been making pizza a local legend since 1925. There is nothing like the amazing white clam pizza pie, or the other coal-fired, oven-baked combinations at this legendary pizzeria. No slices; you order by the pie. |

Worth the wait: You cannot be from New Haven and not experienced a Pepe's this is the best pizza that I have had in my life. The brickoven give that rustic italian flavor and the essence of the Pizzeria is #!1.
For me, the best pie in new haven, period.
Go early on sunday aft. before they open and you'll be in and out. Go on a friday night in the summer and you better bring a deck of cards and a tent.
Seriously, lots of great apizz here in CT- however, I do think this new haven pepe's lives up to the hype. If you have not been, you should. Coming from out of town, - again, worth the trip. modern apizza is a close second with da'carmine's in branford, the rest follow. Only better pie for me is spumoni gardens in brooklyn.
anywho, enjoy Pepe's- sausage and peperoni is my fave. when you're done, try Libby's next door for dessert.
Parking can be found on street and it pepe's lot, but can be tough to come by. luckily, plenty of side street parking available.
over rated indeed !
sally's is better and modern is even better . not worth the bother to stand outside of building for an hour .
actually there is no place on this earth where i would stand outside for an hour to get food.
pepe's is a landmark but so is the washington monument . what does that have to do with the apizza ? nothing at all but i thought it sounded pretty cool !
pepe's is very good but there are better places that are cheaper and much more accessible .
