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 can't claim them to be my favorite but the most authentic Napoletana
style pizza I've had was in a section of Naples, Italy called
"Pozzuoli". Pozzuoli is where Sophia Loren was raised by her
grandmother. There's a "Home of Sophia Loren" sign on the house she
grew up in and the pizza place was a couple of buildings down from it.

They only came one way. Dough, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, seasonings
and saturated with oil. They were thin and cooked at a very high
temperature in a wood fired, brick oven for about a minute. They would
then be pulled out, folded in half and held up on edge for a few seconds
to allow the excess oil to drip out before slapping it on your table.

No pepperoni, no "5 Cheeses", no white clams or any of the Americanized
pizza versions. Pretty good.

Sounds good to me, too. :)

There are still arguments going on as to which New Haven pizza parlor
has the best pies, the very same arguments that were going on when I was
growing up in New Haven.

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:

http://www.jerrys-place.com/

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. :)
