PAX East 2023 #3: Pizza on the Road

On the way back from PAX, we were starved and thinking about what to do for dinner. My favorite go-to is Frank Pepe’s in New Haven. Not a lot of people are familiar with New Haven style pizza, but Frank’s is the best. They have multiple locations in the Northeast now, but I still love to only go to the original location on Wooster Street in New Haven. So we timed out when we would get to New Haven and placed an order for pickup over the phone. We stopped in the parking lot and I wolfed down a piece or two since I was the driver and starved prior to getting back on the road to NY.

We ordered The Special (Crushed Italian Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Bacon, Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushrooms, Peppers, Onion, Grated Pecorino Romano & Olive Oil). The pizzas are massive and they cut them into the strangest slices, none of them the same size. It was so good while hot and we had pizza for a few more days afterwards.

It’s not necessary to go to the original, so if you see a Frank Pepe’s, I highly recommend it.
