Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana - New Haven, Connecticut
Move aside, New York- and Chicago-style pizzas! New Haven's distinct "apizza" is gaining in national popularity, thanks to its unique coal-fire cooking technique, its "charred" thin crust and of course, its Neapolitan influence. Now a chain, the original Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, affectionately known by locals as "Pepe's," was established in 1925 and is still famous for its one-of-a-kind white clam pie. Garnished with thickly chopped top-neck clams, grated cheese, olive oil, fresh garlic and oregano, it's definitely an atypical choice but one that's been a local favorite for decades.
