New Haven Pizza: Frank Pepe's Pizza

While stuck in the airport yesterday, I was trying to entertain distract myself from being impatient with my phone.  I found some fun pictures I completely forgot about.  Although I haven't really been able to enjoy it, Connecticut has experience an Indian summer the last few days.  It was 60 degrees last night at 7pm.  Makes it hard to believe we had snow just over a week and a half ago.

The infamous day started with Mr. J and I doing errands at Target.  This is something I look forward to...Mr. J not so much.  My attempt to make the day a bit more bearable led us to Frank Pepe.  Frank Pepe's is one of the two New Haven pizzerias that claim to make the best pizza.  This is one of the places that has walls lined with old school pictures of family member outside of the store as well as many famous autographs of all those who have come in to sample the goodness. 

For a small town, New Haven also claims to be the birth place of pizza and hamburgers.  Go figure!
You can order the famed clam casino pizza...white pizza with clams and bacon or you can make your own.

Frank Pepe's has pizza....just pizza, wine and soda.  It is some good pizza though.  We luckily slide in to one of the last two open tables for an early lunch.  The time we left there was a line of about 20 people waiting to get in...this is with the snowy situation.  The topping come big and flavorful.  If you get garlic you literally get huge garlic cloves.  And the large...well it is enough to fee 6 people.  We got a large and had leftovers for about 3 more meals.  That is with Mr. J's gigantic appetite.  We did watch in amazement as the table of 3 across the way scarf down the whole thing. 

Watching the snow out of the window I think the pizza might have made MY day a bit more bearable not just Mr. J's.
