"Voici une adresse incontournable de New Haven, la pizzeria de Frank Pepe. Et il faut dire que les Américains, en bons descendants d'Italiens pour un grand nombre d'entre eux, ne plaisantent pas avec la pizza (parfois surnommée ici  pie , pour tarte). Frank Pepe, qui a fondé cette pizzeria en 1935, était d'ailleurs originaire d'un petit village dans la région de Naples. A tester pour les plus audacieux, la pizza aux palourdes ( white clam pie ), spécialité de la maison."

"Best pizza in the world! Seasonal tomato pie is amazing, white clam Isn’t my first choice. Always busy "

"Frank Pepe, originally from the Italian town of Maiori, came to America in 1909 when he was just 16 years old. He opened a bakery in 1925 in New Haven, and 12 years later, expanded it to a pizzeria. Today, his grandson Gary Bimonte runs Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, widely known as the best pizza joint in New Haven (and, according to The Daily Meal, the best pizza place in the country). The family has expanded their pizzeria to eight locations, all in the Northeast. They still use the same pizza dough recipe after over 90 years, and their sausage recipe is 45 years old. But they're best known for their clam pie, made from fresh littleneck clams, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. When asked why people still line up to get pizza there, Bimonte told Eater, "We offer the best product, the best-quality product we can — because that's the way my grandfather did it. We don't cut any corners." Read More: https://www.mashed.com/96073/best-pizza-places-america/?utm_campaign=clip Read More: https://www.mashed.com/96073/best-pizza-places-america/?utm_campaign=clip"
