And this is what they are known for and what people love? I had no idea and I have been eating Pepe's once a week for nearly 10 years. I'll have to try it tomorrow. Embarrassing lack of knowledge on my part.

Get Pepe's white clam pie. No sauce or cheese. Huge flavor (clams, garlic, basil). Get a small one as an appetizer for the table - you need to eat it right away, as it cools very quickly without sauce or cheese.

If you care to make the trip the Sicilian Chicken BBQ pie at Naples in Farmington is among the best I've tasted.

I’m a fan of Naples. There is another good place in Simsbury that escapes me right right now but I think Naples is the best place in the Farmington Valley.

I gave it a shot in the past. Just not for me.

Big Y slices are far superior to their party pizza. It's really a great one stop shop just make sure to say hello to your neighborhood Sam the Butcher, they're great guys.

Mrs. 8893 is down on their deli because they don't have Boars Head cold cuts.

Their pizzas used to be the staple of most school and kids events, but then one parent (who owned a catering business but never offered to help) wrote a screed against the classroom moms collecting money for a pizza party. He went off on the childhood obesity and diabetes epidemic and suggested all sorts of healthier options that were obviously more involved and more expensive. You might as well recommend that Purdue Pharma cater the next event if you are going to suggest Big Y pizza in our town now.
 
Big Y party pizzas are awful. Too doughy with tasteless sauce.

In my fantasy football league, the last place team from last season brings pizza and beer to the following year's draft and one guy brought Big Y pizzas years back. We now have a rule. No Big Y pizzas allowed.

I would order pizza for my kid’s party out of spite.

I’d make sure every kid had a straw, too, if I really wanted to start a fire.

I'm sure it tastes great, considering, but I'm afraid 1990mg sodium make the 6in. Italian a non-starter at the moment.

I've got about a couple dozen lbs. to go. On an aggressive schedule, that would put my goal somewhere mid-October. Alas, I've been stalled for a few weeks and we are on the precipice of a vacation, football season, followed by the Holidays. Maybe I'll treat myself when the UConn Men earn a bid to the NCAA tournament.

Went to Sally’s tonight with extended family. As a group we had four pies. A traditional cheese with mozz, bacon and onion, mushroom and the no mozzarella with a little parmesan on top. While good, I didn’t feel the first 3 were extra special compared to other great pizza places. The no mozzarella though was outstanding, it’s definitely the pie to get from Sally’s in my opinion.

Next time I would recommend sausage from them--they do a good job with it.
 
Big new opening in New Haven today. Zeneli’s opened up right across from Pepe’s and is definitely ready to challenge the Wooster big boys. 30 seat restaurant with small bar, wood fired oven, Neapolitan style. Casual but more upscale and trendy than the retro vibe they have on the rest of Wooster. Really solid opening day pizzas.

Neapolitan Brothers Take On Wooster Square Pizza

This restaurant will open early in the morning to serve cappuccinos, croissants, and other breakfast goodies, then transition to pizza and booze in the evening... they have ordered a special, wood-fired pizza oven from Naples to stock their new New Haven kitchen. Each pizza will only take 90 seconds to cook in such an oven.
Their pies will be Neapolitan-style, they said, longer, more rectangular than round, and served as “personal pies” for individual consumption.
