Is New Haven Pizza Better Than New York Pizza?

This episode is not about pizza. It's about Apizza. There's a difference.
Welcome to New Haven, a city that has some of the best pizza around. Frank Pinello, our host, has never been to New Haven and the best way to learn about the city is by eating. Frank hangs out with Gary Bimonte, co-owner of legendary pizzeria Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, spends time with the owners of Zuppardi's, and meets some true new haven legends. This is a special town with incredible people and pizza to match.

A few years ago I was passing through New Haven on my Harley. It was fathers day. I had just left my fathers side of the family in Oklahoma a few days before. I was missing him because he had passed many years ago. I ordered my pizza. It was a 90 minute wait. I went for a ride and returned. There was no room in the restaurant. I got my pizza and a good pop and went outside. As I sat on Wooster St on Fathers Day a homeless guy came by and asked for some money. I said no. But, I will share my pizza with you. I sat and talked to Willie as I ate the best pizza we have ever had. It was as my fathers was there. Thank you Franks and Willie for a great memory.

Sadly, Gary Bimonte passed away today. May he rest in peace. "It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, Gary Bimonte. Gary was a wonderful brother, son, uncle, and friend to so many, and he was loved by all of us. Gary was the pride and joy of the Pepe’s family, and there are no words to express the immense void that his passing has left in our hearts. He truly loved and cherished our family’s history, and he was so proud of the legacy that has carried through all these years. Gary was incredibly grateful for all of the happiness that our family brought to so many people through our love of pizza, and he really embodied the heritage and tradition that Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is known for today. He will be terribly missed by so many people. The family is requesting privacy during this time of grieving." -Frank Pepe's Website

amazing how much culture there is here, would travel here just to try the pizza

[@Viva_la_natura]

I revisit this video from time to time. Frank, I'm a pizza guy, and a fairly decent pizza maker. I'm fourth generation Ellis Island New York born and raised. At 21, I ended up in Connecticut, and met my wife, a lovely Italian mutt like me. I'm now 41, and I had real difficulty making the adjustment and accepting the culture here. However, I found their Italian American culture so intriguing, and their pizza so unique that I was able to build a life here. It's pretty incredible to be able to appreciate both Pizza cultures with the same respect and admiration. As Ny'ers we were told that everything we did was better and to see the humbleness, humility, passion and respect you give the love for food inspires me; you are the true Italian spirit I remember from my childhood. So, thank you Frank

As a professionally trained pizzaiolo and life-long Tri-Stater, (someone who has actually lived, worked, and studied in Westchester County, NY; New Haven County, CT; and Bergen County, NJ for over 95% of their life, not only just their childhood), I believe that all three states' pizza styles are equal in terms of taste and quality. Nothing compares to the kind of pizza that can be found anywhere in the Tri-State Area. It's not about N.Y. (Downstate State & City) vs Northern N.J. vs Gold Coast & Greater Haven, CT, and it never should be.

The clam pizza gets a lot of attention because it's a New Haven specialty, and it's done beautifully, no question. The garlic, the delicate balance of the flavors and textures, letting the quality of the no tomatoes and olive oil and the exquisite texture of the crust shine through - it's a knockout. But for me, the litmus test is the Margherita, and I think that Pepe's makes the best in the country, authentically Napolitano, but subtly tweaked with a rough hewn and natural but even distribution of ingredients, and most importantly, made with the anthracite coal fire: even flame, no smoke, just perfect. The crust is perfect: the right amount of chew and crisp. And call it sacrilegious, but I have it with bacon - it's perfectly unctuous and chewy and thin, and adds a bit of creamy, smoky, substantial protein - damn, it's just perfect. Even in the West Hartford location. Long live Pepe's! (P. S. I just had one last night - it's always perfect. What a glorious memory...)

Their manchester location is the closest one to me, but I want to go try the original location sometime.

[@__aceofspades]

@ctguitarguy Yes, but so is anything that is charred. Anything you cook that turns dark brown/black, even if its just a spec of the meal, is a carcinogen. But its a mostly wasted thought, because so many things are bad for you. You would think the tomato sauce on pizza is the healthiest part, but most pizza places used canned sauce, even the best pizza places used canned sauce from italy, and cans are lined with BPA or BPS or another BP product (they are all bad for you, just BPA is the famous one), and the tomatoes acidity breaks down the lining far quicker than most other canned goods, so the healthiest part of a pizza, is actually bad for you, but so is everything, you just have to have moderation and a mixed diet

Dear Munchies, PLEASE start the show 'The Pizza Bachelor' if this amazing pizza guy and host, Frank, is somehow single.

[@tipihaerenz4350]

ecargxmik 😂😂😂😂

[@stephenfarrell6794]

This is my second or third time watching this series, probably better than anything on tv. I just wish there were more coming in the future!

[@iofiiofi4831]

this is one of the most comforting videos I've ever watched. thank you

[@sladewilloson3260]

Im from Connecticut and i think Frank Pepe is the best

[@remington7005]

Sorry but sallys is the best for sure

[@chrisgarry22]

I’m more of a colony or modern guy

[@joshuahaynes7128]

Sallys

[@draxxsklounst6595]

They're all good

[@zayzaysmallz5692]

It’s between Frank’s and Sally’s for sure

[@AlvinCornelius]

[@SlowJoman]

+Kibbler It isn't

[@LuneHiver]

Who's on a diet, watching this, and starving like hell? xD

[@mike0566]

F uck that diet i quit , im going to get a pizza !!!!

[@stevenlester8669]

Not me. 32 waist and clammed to jeth.

[@ivanmorechairs6002]

Fucken keto. I torture myself with pizza videos. Haven’t had a carb in months but I’m looking. But this pizza looks even better

[@Mikessv1]

Frank is a really good hearted, family oriented traditional kind of guy..he's very likeable and should keep making these episodes.

[@georgianbroadcaster4700]

Man I want this show back! My life isn't complete without it.

[@TheJaybrone]

Frank does a great job of being humble and highlighting the people he's interviewing and their traditions.

[@abb1993]

I've been to italy and the pizza is made the same way. Thin, light toppings, with that lovely crust

[@guts8087]

Wow your trip to italy really made you an expert 👏🏽

[@xAravin25x]

Its made that way everywhere but the US.

[@guts8087]

true but in italy there are a lot of different ways of making pizza as well ;)

[@joeykarate3148]

Rhaegar Targaryen quit talking like you know something dummy

[@xAravin25x]

Joey Karate Well i've lived in Italy for 5 years and spent many years travelling the world so i do know some things.

[@SteveSwags]

Great video! Thanks to Goldbelly, I have some Zuppardi's in my freezer right now. I've had a couple of them already. Really good. Someday, I'll get it fresh and in-person.

[@bcask61]

Go across the street to Louie’s Lunch! Legendary spot. Invented the hamburger.

[@geraldfromtheblock2090]

That place is EXTREMELY overrated. If you like an unseasoned, undercooked, bloody burger with kraft cheese on Wonder bread....this is your place

[@mrdavidafischer]

You know this is The Pizza Show when Louis' Lunch in the background is completely and utterly ignored.

[@leithdaboss6640]

Episode 3 coming out in 2017

[@Powerule23]

Thankfully, I live in NYC - so, my ride to New Haven won't be that bad as Frank Pepe's is now on my bucket list. Can't wait.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Brilliant show. I remember catching this episode years ago on tv.
