Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is famous for a number of items,
including its white clam pie.

After whetting Boston appetites for the past year, the famed Frank Pepe
Pizzeria Napoletana said it has finally decided to open its first local
restaurant, in Chestnut Hill, this fall.

Pizza-loving Bostonians — even competitors — were salivating Friday over
the news about the New Haven institution’s plans to move into the area.

“I’m all for it,” said Todd Winer, the chef-owner of the
Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant Pastoral in Fort Point. “Pepe’s pizza
is a tried-and-true classic.”

Commonly called Pepe’s, the legendary pizzeria is known for thin-crust
pies baked in coal-fired brick ovens. Winer stops in New Haven for the
famous white clam pie, made with fresh clams, grated cheese, olive oil,
garlic and oregano, on every road trip to New York.

The gourmet pizzas are so tasty they’ve been named among the best in the
country, and often number one, by publications including Zagat, Food &
Wine, USA Today, and Time magazine. Bostonians have been known to drive
to Connecticut and wait in line for hours just for a taste.

I gave up on real Italian food in general down here but I did have one
good Italian meal in Clearwater in a little mom and pop place in the
strip mall just north of the bridge.
The veal parm was pretty much like the Roma Inn in Kingston NY.

Pizza was never really a big thing with me tho.



We have two nice Italian restaurants operated by the same family, one in
Dunkirk and the other in Prince Frederick. Same menus. Husband runs one,
wife runs the other. Staffs alternate. Really good pizza, plus many
traditional and not traditional Italian dishes. The restaurant selection
was so crappy when we moved here years ago that had it not been for the
aforementioned Italian restaurant, we might have looked elsewhere.
Not up to New Haven standards of food in Italian restaurants, but,
nonetheless, nice.

Here's the menu:

Another good local restaurant hereabouts:

Jerry and his family run the place. Very good food. Jerry's son is
something else...he always has *serious* problems with the women in his
life.
