Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana was founded in 1925 by Frank Pepe, who immigrated to the United States in 1909 at age 16. In 1937, Pepe opened up a pizzeria at 157 Wooster St. in New Haven. Pepe originated the New Haven-style thin crust pizza that's both crispy and chewy thanks to special coal-fired ovens.
