Now led by the third generation of family, Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has launched a one -year celebration with a new video tribute broadcast by Herry, New Haven Pizza Lover and Oscar actor Paul Giamatti and fans of both “eating it”.
“When I served the New Yorkers in our New Haven restaurant, they would say to me,” from New York, and I come back for your pizza “told the hands”, “told Pepe’s granddaughter, Jennifer Plass-Cales, for the mail.
“New Yorkers are the toughest critics. When they said it was fine, I got trembling on my feet.”
Connecticut City and state officials joined the Pepe family – along with Giamatti, who has long defended Pepe’s magic and has been a fan since he was a child – the heart of the city of the legendary Italian neighborhood.

“Is like our signature.
New Yorker Joey Pascale agreed: “When people say New Haven Pizza is burned, they do not realize it is char.”
Even after moving to NYC, the native of the New Haven District said he?
‘APZA’ HISTORY
Pizzeria’s long story began when Pepe – who emigrated from Italy to the US in 1909 – returned from WWI and settled on Wooster Square.
After marrying his immigrant Italian friend Philomena Volpi, he prompted the tomato pie from a bakery where he worked at the time, balanced the trays of his signature â € œApizzza in his head while he did through the market.
By 1925, he was spared enough money to open Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, which soon became a staple of the neighborhood.
In 1937, he moved the operation to a larger space near the Wooster road location today.
By the early 1960s, Pepe was about to hang born. Without sounds to take over the coal pie store, the sale of business looked like its only option.
But his daughters had other plans.
Elizabeth and Serafina went to keep things in the sea while their mother, Philomena, continued to be a bookstore for over 40 years.
Today, after the passage of her mother and her aunt, 68-year-old Bimonte-Kelly is keeping the family’s legacy alive as co-owners of the original Pepe Spot Spot.
Flammable
Pepa in Pepe’s famous pizza is its base.
New York pizza dough is usually wiped with American bread flour – with a sugar and oil ram in it – giving it a thin, folding crust with a fresh skirt.
On the other hand, The New Haven Landmark uses a wetter, long-term dough, which helps it develop a rich, almost cibatta-like structure.
Pizza of Pepe was then crisped to 100,000 pounds of brick-brick-coal-rewarding the original construction of an action of the century.
The ingredient used in the pie is captured – from tomatoes grown to volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius to the shocked cheeks by Sound Long Island.
Even Pecorino cheese is imported from Sardinia, Italy.
New Haven Vs. New York
This combination of exclusion is what has kept Pepe’s lights and its doors open for the last 100 years-and what aroused an 85-mile pizza rivalry between NYC and New Haven, as some diehards swear for Pepe’s shocks from the Manhattan sliced.
Style € œNew York Style is what I call a ‘living pizza’ – made to be sold in sliced, on a free white, moving plate.
Nicholas Aucella, a resident of New York City who grew up in New Haven County, is also a fan and has gone to Pepeâ with his family since he was born.
“It is a real, authentic experience,” he explained in the post. “The pizza is worth every minute to wait in line. The feeling you get from each pie is indescribable.â €
Despite praise from hungry clients, Plants-Kelly believes that Pepe’s true secret sauce is a great dose of humility and gratitude.
â € œ Gretpop taught me in life to treat people with honor and respect, ”said Bimonte-Kelly.
“You won’t boast,” he means. There is nothing to boast because it can be removed from you, ”she added, snapping your fingers.
And it’s not just the delicious pizza that brings a crowd of clients – New Haven’s location is also a place of nostalgia for local.
â € Henku you look at the old photos of Wooster Street and Pepeâ, all look alike, â € said Pascale. â € u nothing heads the atmosphere of the old school. I like to get a good place in the restaurant with a view of Wooster road and watch people walking from.â €
‘Energy, humility, presence and passion’
“I’m just very grateful and humble.” I am so grateful and humble. I appreciate the love that customers give us. I’m always so blown away.
“I go out on the line every time I visit, and thank the customers who went inside and to wait in the line,” she continued.
Something something she learned from her grandfather, whom she says, “tied his hat” to the people who lined up for his pizza and everyone big with a welcoming smile.
“I look around the restaurant to this day and feel the energy, humility, presence and passion of people from the past and the present. I feel easy, energy, love, community, teamwork and resistance.”
