The History Of Frank Pepe's

“Our grandfather founded Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Connecticut in 1925, fueled by his passion for great food, tradition and community,” said Jennifer Bimonte-Kelly, granddaughter of Frank Pepe, who immigrated to the United States from Italy as a teenager in 1909. “Over the last century, Frank Pepe’s has served generations of families and grown into a beloved pizzeria with 17 locations along the eastern United States — a testament to the legacy our grandfather and grandmother, Filomena, built together.”

Frank Pepe’s has become a cornerstone of American pizza culture, helping to spur the rising popularity of New Haven-style pizza across the United States, according to a news release. Since its
foundation, the family-run pizzeria has earned nine No. 1 rankings on The Daily Meal's Best Pizzas in America’s list.

In addition to its coal-fired pizzas, Frank Pepe also offers a variety of salads, desserts and Italian wines.

Frank Pepe’s operates 17 locations across Connecticut, South Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York.
