It’s funny I’ve seen this comment a few times now. I do believe that is how most people nationwide like their pizza. Could be why they do it that way.
Zupp’s is in West Haven
If you think Pepe’s is overly expensive now, the same pie at Sally’s would set you back a couple dollars more. I think it’s all over now, got two sausage and mushroom medium pies at Zuppardi’s a couple days ago and the total with tax was $46.
Pepe’s business model reminds me of an out of control 18 wheeler. I expect their next openings will be in Guam, New Delhi, and Cuba.
Lots of US military and their families stationed in Guam. They'd probably do very well there.
You have to ask well done
Always get pizza well done. Sometimes add extra sauce too.
I’m sure Papa Johns has some March Madness special more in your price range.
I actually was joking, but yes there are many military personnel and dependents there, but how would Pepe’s pass off the enormous shipping costs for sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, olive oil, high gluten flour, pre made sauce, refrigeration without doubling or tripling prices? That’s my problem with Pepe’s opening restaurants all over the eastern seaboard, it’s an 18 wheeler out of control, the young ones ruining what their fathers and great grandfathers created, to make a fast buck at the expense of the entire business. Either they raise prices or cut corners quality wise, or a combination of both. They can try to source locally, but when they do that quality takes a hit.
They make solid food across the board - they aren’t trying to compete head to head w/ Sally’s/Pepe’s for apizza. Their subs, Sicilian slices (especially the pepperoni) and their Gramma’s Pizza are very good. It’s like Zeneli’s - it’s the Sally’s/Pepe alternative on the Street.
If that's the same survey that had Pittsburgh #5, just disregard it. It was done by a realty company (Zillow?), did not even consider quality ("if a place has been open more than a few years we can assume that it's good"), and city rankings are mostly weighted on how many pizza joints there are per square mile.
Their pizza is better than 99% of pizza places, or at least it used to be. Haven't been there in many years.
Fake news
Sounds about right.
Before I moved back to New Haven in 2013, I used to call in my order and say, "Burn it." Only once did I ever get a pizza that I considered burnt.
Only thing Ohio is #1in are Sasquatch sightings.
When are they going to finish the state capitol building?
