"Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana of New Haven will open a second location at 238 Commerce Dr. in Fairfield, Connecticut (exit 25 off I-95) on March 13, 2006.  

The Pepe Family has carefully planned the expansion to replicate the original New Haven experience down to the last detail. The Fairfield location will use the same recipes, ingredients and preparation used at the original Pepe’s on Wooster Street in New Haven.

Anthony Rosselli, the eldest grandson of Frank Pepe, outlines the recipe for success: “The product will be the same. The dough will be the same. The oven will be the same. Our singular goal is to duplicate the perfect pies that our grandparents began making on Wooster Street over 80 years ago. We have to. Its our history.”...

Gary Bimonte, another grandson, who manages the Pepe’s in New Haven, knows what has made Pepe’s the best pizza in the country for so long. “Our success over the years is due to the pride we put into each pie.  We use only the best ingredients and the same exact dough and sauce recipes that our grandparents used.” 

In addition, I am please to announce the official Pepe's Website.

You can visit the Pepe's website, at this link: www.pepespizzeria.com

Jana writes: Does Pepe's pizza ship to Los Angeles? I would like to have this for my
boss's lunch. It's her favorite pizza.

My Response:  Hello, Jana. Sorry to tell you, but Pepe's does not ship, anywhere. To have Pepe's pizza, you need to go to Connecticut.

3. Setting The Record Straight

In the September 2003 issue of Pizza News
(http://pizzatherapy.com/newssepta.htm), Rick submitted a recipe which he claimed was
a clone of a pizzeria chain. The name of the pizzeria chain that was on the recipe has now been removed.  Click here to see the recipe.

I recently received the following email from Ron Gelet:
I am the founder of the Numero Uno Pizza chain and the developer of its proprietary pizza dough. FYI, the recipe that Rick refers to as a Numero Uno clone " is not even close" to the Numero Uno recipe. I am concerned that people who have never tasted our unique product might try this recipe and be misled into thinking that this is our product.

 If they don't like it they may never try the real product - to our detriment. Please advise your readers that Rick's recipe is not the real product. Imitation is flattering but truth is more important.

My Response:  Thanks for writing. I have removed all references to your pizza chain in the recipe. Pizza News Readers have now been advised. Readers, you are all advised. OK? Thank you.

4. Setting The Record Straight About The Brooklyn Pizza Tour

In the last issue of Pizza News February, 2006 Pt. II, I featured an interview by Tony of The Brooklyn Pizza Tour. I had to edit the interview, due to space considerations. I asked Tony if he could give Pizza News Readers a discount.

Tony Responded: As for a discount, although my prices are ridiculously low already for the tour I can offer your readers a 10% discount if you like. Just tell them to use discount code PT2006 when they order tickets.

My Response:  Thanks so much, Tony. This tour sounds incredible!
