Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

Frank Pepe Pizzeria in Delray Beach brings true New Haven-style pizza to South Florida, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The crust is perfectly charred and chewy, giving every slice that signature Pepe's flavor that fans rave about. Their Delray location adds something special with The Char Bar—a full cocktail bar offering creative drinks and a solid happy hour. The restaurant itself is welcoming, and the staff is attentive without rushing you. If you're a pizza lover looking for something with tradition and bold flavor, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Instagram - @thesofloduo

Great CT original pizza…charred and perfectly chewy crust. We drove 30 miles (to the DelRay location) since we are from NY and familiar with the restaurant. No disappointments here. Our server Jaime hooked us up with all the pizza we could handle. Thanks Jamie- great service!

We love our pizza and love to try as many different places as possible. The pizza we had here was excellent! Loved it! Also had a delicious salad first. Definitely will be coming back to try some other pies! Aside from the great pizza, was very impressed with the staff. From the friendly ladies that greeted us with a smile and opened the door for us when leaving to our bartender Dan. He was great, informative, friendly and helped get us started with the app. Overall just an excellent choice for us and I highly recommend you try it.

I had high hopes for this pizza, especially after hearing such great recommendations from my friend in Pennsylvania about a spot he loves. I was excited to try it during my visit to my sister in Florida, but unfortunately, my experience in Delray Beach fell short of expectations. As someone who supports small businesses, it's tough for me to share this feedback, but I believe it's important for others to know what to expect. The pizza I received was overcooked with black burnt edges and bottom and lacked the quality I anticipated. When paying for a white pizza I expect more than just a thin crust with barely any cheese. I’m not asking for any other toppings other than cheese. There was hardly anything on the pizza. It was like I was eating a floppy piece of dough. A part of me told me I should’ve stuck to my sister‘s go to spot, but I wanted to give you guys a try. We had a slice each and are throwing our medium pizza out and will be going to our OG spot tomorrow. Once again, I was proven wrong and will only stick to what I know and what my family recommends when I’m down here. I truly hope the establishment can take this feedback to heart and improve their offerings. Every business deserves a chance to shine, and I would love to see them succeed in the future.

After hearing some mixed reviews of their other newer location in Plantation, we finally stopped into the Delray location near us, and ended up falling in love ❤️ 😍 We came in on a Saturday around 6:00pm and the whole restaurant was busy so that was a great sign! We sat at the bar, and Dan was our bartender. He was great! On point attentive and so nice about the restaurant, ordering helping and even the rewards signing up. Not to mention everybody we did encounter there was also so nice, everybody was smiling and seemed to really enjoy the their job. Now the most important part... we started with the small Italian salad, which was plenty for two people, and it was absolutely delicious! We had the Medium (huge!) Doppio Pepperoni! The combination of the crushed Italian tomatoes mozzarella and crispy pepperoni cups was absolutely mouth-watering. They even have a happy hour during the week, pictures are included!

Pizza=life. Not here though. Plenty of banter to try out new haven style. After 3 pizzas, there's nothing to say but pretty bad crust here. First, it's inedible. Not sure if the dough was off that night but the chew was not pleasant. Large salad was fresh but barely dressed in the vinaigrette. The clam pie tasted good but again the crust was not right, for any execution or region. The service, we were the sole table sitting out on the patio on a 78° Wednesday evening during season, was inattentive and left us hanging at the end. I won't return neither will my party who initialy raved to me about trying this concept.

I will always come to Frank Pepe when I’m craving a New Haven style pizza. Fresh out of the wood fire oven is an absolute must have pizza. Crispy, cheesy, and fit to your taste, you can never go wrong with Frank Pepe pizza!

Stopped by for lunch. Here in town visiting. First time. She told me $10 off for first time. Just needed to sign up on the app. I got the small meatball ricotta pizza. It was fresh. Hot! Great Pizza ! Clean place. Would definitely come again.

As my husband is from Connecticut, I have heard about Frank Pepe for years. In fact, one time I almost dined at the original location, but the line went down the street. Somehow, I had missed the news that they had opened a location not too far from us. Finally, I was going to get to try their famous clam pizza. When we arrived, we had a short wait. It looks like this location has an early dinner crowd, so if you get there around seven, you probably won't have to wait for a table. Though I'm not sure what it will be like when we are in full on winter season. The restaurant is quite spacious. There are also several tables outside as well. The prices were quite fair, and I was really happy to see that they had sampler specials. They have so many different types of pizzas that it is a great way to find out which ones you'd want to order again. We started with a tossed salad, and it was very fresh. We tried three different types of pizzas. The clam pizza was definitely worth the wait. It was not overwhelming and there was a nice balance. I also really liked the four cheese pizza and wish that it was something that was always on the menu. My family enjoy the chicken pizza as well. I did feel that the pizza was a little bit more on the dry side; however, maybe it was in the oven just a dash too long. It was still great though! Next time, I want go with a traditional cheese pizza. Our server was friendly and attentive. Be sure to check in on your first visit because they give you a free gelato. They also have a rewards type club and you can save $10 on your first meal for joining. Frank Pepe will definitely join our pizza rotation.

I'm coming out of retirement for this review! I had super high hopes considering Frank Pepe's fame. However, I was slightly concerned based upon the poor reviews that this location has. Unfortunately, the poor reviews are reality for this location. The pizza is dreck. The entire pizza has absolutely zero flavor and the crust is like cardboard. The only reason I gave two stars is because of the ease of their online ordering and the staff was friendly. However, friendly staff isn't worth the price of bland cardboard pizza. 3.1/10

Some of the best "Apizza" I've had since moving to Florida from NY. The ingredients are super fresh and tasty, from the sweet tomato sauce to the savory sausage, just amazing! All at reasonable prices as well. This is going to be one of our regular spots! We managed to get in relatively quick on a busy Friday night and everyone was highly attentive to our needs. The environment is like a traditional pizza place in the northeast, I loved it. Made me feel like I left the cookie-cutter strip mall life of Florida while I was there.

While driving home after a long day of shopping, we were starving. We decided to stop into Frank Pepe's for the first time. The inside was clean and modern. Our server (I believe his name was Chad) was excellent! Extremely attentive and helpful explaining the menu. We decided on splitting a large pizza and had more than enough leftovers to take home. I'm usually not a huge fan of pizza that has a char to it however, this pizza was exceptional. We also had the Caesar salad that we both enjoyed. I was excited to learn there is a location closer to our home. We will definitely dine in again.

I went to my wife and my kid at night. We saw some people outside waiting and we thought the wait could be longer than expected. But it was really fast to be seated. Staff were friendly and good recommendations on the menu. Pizza is amazing. I recommend this place for any occasions. They have good prices and promotions.

Well, we met Anderson as soon as we walked in she was so nice and then Sarah was our server and she was great! She explained the menu to us since it was the first time we were there! We started with the small the antipasto (which for me I needed lettuce) but the items were cute and delicious. Next we ordered the meatball pizza, it was flavorful and delicious, the meatballs were tender and flavorful. We then ordered the special clam pizza, it was absolutely delicious and full of clams I loved it!! To end it was a refreshing vanilla gelato a perfect meal! Go to Delray and check it out and ask for Sarah!!!

My first time here & I will be visiting again. When you enter, the smell just lures you in! Very clean Italian decor. Love the historical photos! And enjoyed learning of how this business began and has survived for many years. It gives you a true appreciation of business that cares about quality and reputation! The staff are friendly & welcoming. I had the personal Pizza and antipasto plate from the happy hour menu. Both were delicious! I can already tell the pizza would be good, because it's a coal fired pizza, thin crust with just a slight burn on the edges, which I like. And any pizza place that offers toppings for you to add like Oregano, Parmesan Cheese and Garlic has me interested! Of course complimented with a Perroni (Italian) beer. I also tried their Foxon Park soda (served since 1925) White Birch flavor, which was interesting. But the things I enjoyed the most, was 1. Seeing the coal fired oven with a mold of the fire door cast from the original. 2. As it was a slow time while I was there. I happened to catch a group of the employees break out in a short dance together behind the wall which I even tried to join in! Lol It made me smile as they are obviously happy employees!

Surprised by the bad reviews. This is some of the best pizza available in the Boca area! I recommend the hot pepper pizza, regular cheese, and margherita. Delivers well.

Have picked up a few pies there. Pretty good. BUT Their "Free Delivery over#15" is NOT so. It's $25. a $16.25 Veggie Pie turns into 23.17 delivered. That's app $1 tax and $6 Delivery. But they won't deliver at all below $25 when you click. AND over $25 is NOT "Free" either! $26. is $33.50 a Third of the pies (not the veggie I wanted) are 2-fer-1 ONLY on UberEats which is Wildly cheaper than buying them at the Location!! All those Financial shenanigans/differentials Leave a BAD Taste. You lost my order.

Frank Pepe's. Picture one is a veggie pizza. The crust is chard on the edges and undercarriage. The top is woefully undercooked, and the vegetables tasted pretty raw. It was a sloppy mess. Unable to be picked up and all the topping slid right off. 3/10. They should have been embarrassed to serve this pie. My DiGiornio's comes out better. The second pizza is also from Frank Pepe's and it was a double pepperoni. It was cooked well and had excellent quality pepperoni that cupped perfectly. This was much better and was decent. 6.5/10. The dough here is more similar to an Anthony's coal fired pizza dough, thick and doughy. The sauce was tasty. Service was good place was nice and clean, but they did not deliver. The bill was $70 for two medium pizzas plus tip. Pepe's large pizza was almost $37! Not recommended.

Good parking, well lighted, lots of seating, was seated quickly. Pizza was hot and fresh, service was good.

Clean, organized well run establishment with very good food. I liked the clam and tomato pizzas. The small salad was surprisingly fresh and flavorful ( we probably could have shared one) it was pretty big. I will definitely go back and try some other pizzas.

We have been super curious, and we finally went! Service was great! The Caesar salad was good! Never in my life have I heard of white birch beer and I LOVE it! Got one to take home! The pizza came out quickly! We shared pepperoni, cheese, and a Margherita! We all agree it was good pizza, but we have had better.

Grabbed a couple of small pies to go. They were ok. .The cheese and sauce were on point. The crust was a little burnt on the edge, and the toppings were scarce. The server ho helped me was friendly and quick.

Very new location, always clean and staff super friendly. I love Neapolitan style pizza. The rustic brick oven pizza and not tons of oily cheese it's the freshest tasting pizza, never oily! They now also offer a sampler pizza with all the different offerings on one pie. Side note DO NOT FORGET the white birch soda! It's a clear root bear style soda that is to die for.

New Haven style pizza is alive and well here in Delray Beach! What a wonderful addition for our Delray community. As a New Haven county native, finding authentic brick oven pizza where I call home for over 20 years has been special. A-beez was our only choice on Jog in West Delray, but now there's Pepe's Authentic Pizza on Federal in East Delray. Greeted by friendly staff who were ready for us with tables inside and outside open and available on a Saturday night at 7pm. The porch is covered so we chose to eat outside. We ordered up their classic Tomato pie, the Doppio Pepperoni, and their famous White Clam. We started with their Caesar salad which fed 3 of us family style. They also serve Foxen bottled sodas. We had to have their Cream soda and White Birch to make it traditional. The beautiful Pepe's "char" on the pizzas was authentic and simply delicious. So pleased to enjoy old home styled cooking from my youth in my home town of Delray Beach! They offer take out and delivery services available as well, but dining here makes it more special. Thank you for the opportunity, and we will be back with friends and family to celebrate New Haven style pizza with everyone.

My 2nd time here, and I have completely different experiences. The first time was about a month ago, two large pies, one cheese and one white clam. Don't get me wrong, it was very tasty, but when eating in, I expect the pizza to be hot and the cheese to be melty and stringy, and this wasn't the case. I might as well have done take out or delivery. Was invited back by my gf as she had a yelp event to give it a try, and this time the pizzas were hot and fresh and the cheese was perfect! Love the char and crisp, they nailed it this time! I got the happy hour size 10" pie with half pepperoni and half mushroom, and my gf got the small 12" white clam. Both were fantastic, as is the Pepe salad that we both had. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, but the place was basically empty. Could be because it was taco Tuesday, but still, this place is too good to be this empty at 7pm on a Tuesday evening. There's plenty of spacious seating, inside and out, if you're in the area you should definitely give it a try and keep this place in business.

Very friendly staff. Conveniently located at the NE corner of Linton & Federal Highway. Plenty of parking.

First time visit . Having tried new haven stule pizza before , i do appreciate it . Being from New York doesn't jade my review . Tried the classic pie medium wich is huge btw . Excellent Crust . Right amount of crunch and chewy factor . Nice quality cheese and nice sauce . I might have liked just a little more sauce . But that being said its well worth the trip .

I'm so glad Pepe is following us down from New York. The newest Pepe's looks just like New Haven, Yonkers, and Plantation. We were pleased that there was lots of free parking right out front. The open kitchen is immaculate as are the tables. There was shady outdoor tables facing the parking lot on route 1. Storming, our waitress was friendly, upbeat & attentive. We shared a meat pie, expecting to bring half home. For dessert we shared the tiramisu. Lunch was absolutely delicious. I like the way all of the condiments are on the table ready for us. Our pizza was hot, flavorful, tremendous and a treat. We were able to bring half home.The complimentary tiramisu did not disappoint, it was fresh, generous & very creamy.

Great pizza , great service ! Food came out hot and fast for lunch ! Kids loved it ! The place is very nice with an open kitchen looking at a bad ass pizza oven we love this place !

Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach offers a taste of authentic New Haven style pizza with their signature coal fired, thin-crust pies. I loved the classic cheese pizza. I'm a huge thin crispy pizza guy and this came slightly charred that had a nice crunch. The indoor seating is casual, and there's a spacious outdoor area if you want to enjoy the Florida weather. Service is friendly, and the vibe is welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

We tried Frank Pepe's as part of a recent Yelp event, and we will definitely be back! The Pepe's Italian salad served as a great starter, was a large portion, particularly at a $4 price point. The salad was fresh and flavorful. For pizza, we tried a Meatball Pizza w/ onion and a Pepperoni Pizza w/ hot peppers. Both were crispy, packed with flavor, and stood out from other pizza in the area. If you like spice, definitely give the peppers a try. Our server (Chad) was attentive and friendly, rounding out the great experience

I've wanted to try Frank Pepe's ever since I first saw the signs saying 'Coming Soon' on the building. Well, last night I finally made the effort and rather than going to my regular 'best pizza' joint, Tucci's, I went to Frank Pepe's. It was busy, and there was no wait to sit, even though the place was packed. We all ordered a glass of wine. I was unimpressed with the delivery of it in a small water glass. Not only a small serving, but the glass doesn't allow the wine to breathe. I asked our waitress, who was very friendly, if I could get a white pizza without the spinach and gorgonzola cheese. I was told no changes on the specialty pies. Okay. But it makes no sense, since pizza is made to order, isn't it? We started with a small Pepe salad, which comfortably served all three of us. It was loaded with Calamata olives, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, cabbage, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and lettuce. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was done right, not too much, not too little. For $7.50, a great value. After discussing options, we decided to get a Frank Pepe Small Pie Sampler, which is three, four, or five pizzas starting at $45. We got that spinach, mushroom, and gorgonzola white pie, a meatball and ricotta, and a classic mushroom and sausage. The pizza was served quickly, and all three pies were set up next to the table. Each of us tried all the pies, and while we differed on our favorite, we agreed they were all good. My personal favorite was the sausage and mushroom. I wish there was more sausage, because it was really delicious, but there were loads of mushrooms, which I like as well. The ladies favored the meatball pie. We all liked the spinach. To me, the toppings aren't as important as the crust. Like a building, the foundation matters. Everyone has their own preferences, but for me, the crust was too brittle, or maybe too hard. I like it a little softer and chewier. This one didn't gain favor with me. While I would return if friends wanted to go, I would choose Tucci's first.

This place is improving however when dining here please note it's not on the level of the CT locations. Our pizza had some of the flavor associated with the original Pepe's(missing a little if the Reggiano Parm)however they need to work on properly opening the dough as one side wasn't opened properly so it was way to thick for this style pizza, you can see in my photos. If I were in CT it would receive 3 starts but I'm giving 4 bc it's better than most that I've had in South Florida. The decor is very basic but comfortable seating.The staff is friendly, the large salad was good. We will back.

This is a great pizza place when in the area. The clam pizza was great! We also ordered a pepperoni pizza that was pretty good as well. The place wasn't very busy when we went on a Sunday evening and the service was slow for not being busy.

We were so excited when Pepe's came to our neighborhood! We are longtime patrons of the original location in New Haven, CT, and this Delray outpost doesn't disappoint. We ordered our standby favorites: 1 clam and 1 anchovy. We eat the clam here when it's fresh and take the anchovy home for later. Both were excellent! The restaurant has plenty of seating, and the decor gives it a nice old world yet casual charm. We were seated right away, and the waiter was friendly and helped us figure out the right sized pies to order. There were plenty of staff on hand, and everyone was so polite!

When eating Texas bbq does that experience necessarily have to "measure up" to the times you've had Kansas City bbq? My answer would be a resounding "no" with each type of BBQ judged on its own merits. The same is true with New Haven pizza. New Haven pizza sits in the shadow of no other city's pizza except for other New Haven pizza places. With that said, this Brooklynite says a job well done. Hosting, waitstaff, atmosphere, and a very tasty simple cheese pizza with black olives so different than I've had before----but so very, very (very!) good.

Amazing pizza alert! Frank Pepe's was my go-to back when I lived in CT, and I'm thrilled they've made their way to Florida! The crust was perfection--just the right amount of charred goodness. Our server? Absolutely stellar--super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We sat outside with our fur baby, and even though it was raining, the covered patio kept us nice and dry. All in all, it was a top-notch experience. Highly recommend giving them a try--you won't regret it!

So happy to have finally made it over to Frank's! It took a few attempts, as it is brand new and very popular. Be aware there may be a wait, depending on the time you go, but it is definitely worth the it! The atmosphere is very loud and bustling, as it almost feels like an open cafeteria inside. Our server was awesome, and explained everything we had questions on. You can see the kitchen from almost any spot, which is something I really like! It is always so cool to be able to watch a kitchen in action. The menu is very limited to only pizza and salad, but that is completely okay with me! I love pizza and Frank's blew it out of the water. I got the original cheese pizza and it was cooked to perfection. I loved each slice better than the last. My fiancé was adventurous and ordered the Clam Pie. He absolutely loved it! My mom also had the Basic Salad. They cook the chicken in house and she said it was delicious. No meal is complete without dessert. The chocolate gelato was perfection. I still think of this pizza daily and can't wait to go back and try their other variations. Perfect family spot! New Haven style pizza is definitely a favorite!

So I gave this restaurant a second chance and I was glad I did. I had a great salad and a cheese pizza, which was perfect. They cooked it with a light char to the crust. And it came out hot and I like my food hot. They also had an awesome selection of New England craft sodas on top of a great dessert. I will post again upon my next visit in the future. I suggest you give them a try. PS they do take out and have a separate entrance for pick up, which makes it very convenient.

This is my 3rd time here, but first review. I love this place. What do I love? 1. Their service is really good & they anticipate your needs before you need something 2. Their pizza choices are outstanding! I especially like their 3 pizza taste trial 3. The quality of their food is excellent, no cutting corners with cheap ingredients. 4. Portion sizes are generous. 5. The prices are more than fair. Overall you can't miss visiting this well run establishment.

Got a plain pie to go from their to go entrance. Lady running the register was nice. $20 for a 16" cheese which is more or less like nyc prices. I've been to the original and while this one doesn't have as much of the charm, the pizza was better and less charred than the pie I had in New Haven. I suppose that could be better or worse depending on who you are but I prefer less charred pizza. I know tho style is known for the char and remains the reason why I prefer NY pizza over this. Also got the lemon marscapone cake slice for $6. Similar to tiramisu in consistency. Much better than the pizza. If you like lemon, go for it.

I grew up 15 minutes outside New Haven and lived there for 25 years, so I have a lot of expertise on this topic. I've now eaten at the Delray Pepe's location four times since it opened. First, the good parts. It's the best pizza in South Florida by a country mile. Nowhere else even comes close. The other place in Delray is way too chewy (not enough char) and the one in Boca is underwhelming. So congrats, Pepe's, for now being the gold standard in the region. This is still fundamentally a Pepe's pizza at its core. However, it is not as good as it could be, because... This location is EXTREMELY inconsistent. Here's a recap of my four visits. Visit 1 - Pizza to go. It was undercooked and the cheese was ghastly white -- almost soupy in consistency. Visit 2 - Pizza dine-in. It was cooked to golden brown perfection. Wooster Street itself would've been proud of this pie. Visit 3 - Pizza to go. Soupy again. Visit 4 - Two pizzas to go, one extra Sausage well done and one cheese. The cheese one was perfect. The sausage pie was undercooked (despite the well done request) and had no extra sausage beyond what you usually get (despite a $3 upcharge). So, you really never know what you're going to get here but for the fact it will still be much better than all the other terrible pizzas of Florida. I have noticed they seem to have a much harder time getting the pizza crisp and golden brown when you ask for toppings. That's not the case at the Connecticut locations, who have always been able to do it right.

What can I say? Probably the best in South Florida. We have eaten at the Pepes Pizza in Plantation as well as the original in New Haven and have always been very happy with their pizzas. We order a larger size so we have leftovers for the next day or 2. Stormy was our server today and she was attentive. She didn't wait for our water glass to be close to empty before bringing us refills. Many pictures on the wall are old pictures from the original Pwpe's Pizza that only add to the decor. Will gladly go back again. Also since I am a member of their club, I got a complimentary birthday tirimasu since my birthday recent.

Where can you have New Haven-style pizza in Florida? For hungry New Haven natives or New Englanders now living in Florida... or perhaps you're on vacation, it's that one establishment you don't want to miss! It's Frank Pepe's down in South Florida! The fresh shrimp pie is delicious. The fresh original pie is a hot deal. I really had to try Frank Pepe's because in Delray Beach (near my paternal grandmother's house next town over) there is one and I was super anxious about having their slice a dice since I already had their own in their home state (obviously CT). I couldn't resist it! I encourage y'all folks here or there to try Frank Pepe's. The staff are courteous and very nice. They're kind to you and are willing to accept any request you wish to fulfill. I'm so glad they opened a new location near my paternal grandmother's very recently. I loved their pizza!

Service was A++! And the pizza was great! However, it's not New Haven pizza. The crust was too thick, there was too much mozz, and the sauce wasn't right. If I ordered a pizza and got served a burger, I'd have to rate it poorly no matter how good the burger was. I might return, but I offer this review to help new patrons temper their expectations.

We decided to try something different tonight. We had a small salad, medium pizza & one glass of Chianti. Cost us over $50 with tax and tip. The pizza took over 30 minutes to get to our table and it was very loud inside. Service was just ok. I'm glad we tried it but I'm not sure if/when we will be back again.

I'm from Connecticut and was Jonesing for Pepe's. Lo and behold! The decor is just like the branches in Connecticut--minus the coat hangers on each booth (unnecessary in South Florida). The pizza was pure Pepe's. The service was great.

Spent a week in BR and saw a TikTok for this place, order a large pie to go and it was HUGE! The little I saw of the inside looked clean and spacious and the guy that rang me up was super nice. The PIE was delicious and even after 6 people ate we still had leftovers! Definitely good pizza!

so in east Delray a new restaurant has opened where i was told a Panera used to be. A very popular pizza venue from up north has arrived . Fabulous salads were served. I really enjoyed the caesar one but i'm thinking the house might be healthier. The pizza is a thin crust and very delicious . The gelato vanilla is especially decadent. Parking is easy to find. What a lovely new addition to east Delray!

I noticed the sign for Frank Pepe's about a month ago and immediately knew I had to try it! When I saw it was finally open, I grabbed my fellow pizza fanatic brother and we rushed for dinner! As soon as you walk in you are transported to New York. It's incredible how the decor can make you feel like you're entirely somewhere new. I love the setup and it was PACKED with families enjoying some pizza pies! We were seated without any waiting (which shocked me because of the hustle and bustle) and our waitress came over right away. Our server told us right away about their rewards program and the $10 off we would get right away, so this was already a good evening for my bank. We decided to splurge and get two pies so we would have leftovers. WOW. This is by far my favorite pizza place. The pizza was thin and crispy, had no flop, and had the PERFECT ratio of sauce to cheese. The pepperoni had a unique type of pepperoni that I haven't seen before but fell in love with. The spring special pizza was covered with bacon, spinach, and roasted tomatoes. This was a lighter option that I really enjoyed and would love for a lunch one day. The advertisement on the table for their lemoncello cake totally got to me. We decided to split it and holy smokes. Bursting with lemon, light and fluffy, and so creamy. White chocolate shavings on top but not an overwhelming amount of sweetness. This is hands down my new go to spot. I'm very happy to have a pizza joint in the area that does pizza justice!!!

Great oven pizza from the Salad to the pizza everything was really good . Will definitely come back . And the prices are pretty good too

New Haven comes to Palm Beach County! This is a place my wife loved when she lived up north. Me, I am a true New York pizza guy. So my feelings toward this place are a comparison of the one in CT to the one here. Salad was our starter, and it was drenched in dressing. we had both the Pepe's salad and the Ceasar salads, and they both were overloaded with dressing. for pizza, we ordered the traditional cheese pie and a clam pizza. Traditional pie was ok. Sauce needed a little more salt. Clam pie was very good, and it made my wife happy as she loved this option. The service was excellent, and the manager stopped by a couple of times to ask our opinion. The dining area was ok in size table and chairs in part of the restaurant with booths in others, and the outside area was nice and cool with the fans ! Waited 10 min or so at 7:45 pm for a table. It's not my NY pizza but a nice option.

Meh. Was excited to try this outpost of the NH original but it did not live up to the hype. It was good. Fine. Ok. Loved the pizza options. Sauce could have used some salt. Biggest complaint was how uneven the pizza was rolled out. In some parts of the slice it would be beautifully thin and another thick. ‍ They have the potential to have some really amazing pizza but def need some work

All I can say is eh. This is now my second time trying someplace other than the New Haven location and each time it was eh (Westchester). I'm holding it till next time I'm in New Haven. Crust was too thick. Clams we're not as fresh and meaty New Haven. I would say they need to figure out quality in other locations. Too bad

Horrific. Zero service. No salads available. Delivery order goes into a black hole, does not arrive and you can't reach a live person. Go back to New Haven!

I am from New Haven (home of the original Pepe's) so I am a biased reviewer. The Delray restaurant is in a strip mall off of Federal by Linton. There is parking and it is well located. We went on a Monday night in October and there was no wait. The service was friendly, flexible and attentive. We ordered a pizza to eat there and one to bring home with us. The restaurant is casual and well lit so it feels informal. There are booths and tables. I love the pizza here. We ordered white clam to eat there (since it doesn't reheat as well) and the anchovy one to "take home." Of course we made a big dent in the anchovy too. Both were delicious!

As a life long CT resident I'm very familiar with authentic New Haven pizza. The Fab three from Wooster street are often imitated but never duplicated and that goes for some so called New Haven pizza places here in south Florida. I decided to give Pepe's of Delray a try with takeout. I used their App which was very user friendly, I selected my toppings a pickup time and paid. When I went to pickup the pizza it was ready, hot and had a pleasant lady at the counter. Now for the pizza, delicious! In fact, about as close to Pepe's in New Haven as possible. Well cooked with Fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, broccoli and sausage. All fresh high quality ingredients. Thank goodness I can have a real NH pizza here in Florida. To management please don't change? You are off to a great start in Delray with authentic NH pizza.
