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.
