Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

Best pizza I’ve had, possibly ever. A close tie with Miami Slice. If you like crispy with no flop and fantastic ingredients then this is the place for you. Also a great interior for a pizza restaurant and the staff are great. Very professional. The only downside for me is the distance from Aventura. If you are in southern Florida a Frank Pepe visit is a must.

With all the hype, I needed to try Frank Pepe's! Being originally from Philly & NYC I eaten some great pizza. Drove up from Miami Lakes to this very nice shopping, mixed complex! The store is big & airy with indoor & outdoor tables. At 1pm on Thursday it was almost empty. Quick table service by Samantha. I ordered the Three Small Pizza combo at $47 with supplement. These were the meatball & ricotta, the rustic mushroom & sausage & the Special. I asked for light crust! I also ordered the white birch beer from New Haven. Everything came out in about 12 minutes, hot & juicy. We were very pleased with the quality of the toppings & the lightly toasted crust! Took home a lot. My only issue is with the bill! I copied it for you to see. I paid by credit card & added a 18% tip based on the pre-discount subtotal of $53.50. This is a $9.63 tip! After checking the recipe at home I saw $13.38 as the tip!!!! It's a difference of $3.75 & no big deal but I do feel a little ripped-off!

Was expecting more to be honest, my margarita pizza came without basil, (disappointed) very little mozz cheese. The taste is good. Paid 15 dollars for a side Caesar basically !!! The crispiness is good on the pizza. Cheese pizza was good but lacked sauce. I don’t know if I’ll be back

Got here at 1 on a Sunday and got seated immediately. Dave gave this a good score so I had to see. Had the sampler, believe me 3 is enough they give you a lot . Everything was great service, atmosphere, and the crisp pizza 🍕 10/10 would recommend

We're from CT so this is an amazing find! The crust a little different, but it seems FL people don't like the usual wood charred dough so one has to say well done to get similar crust to the original branch. The quality is great! Flavor awesome 👌 Foxon soda made it a perfect ending to wash down the pizza 🍕 White clam was awesome - not dry nor mushy. Clams could be tasted Meatball w/ ricotta, had slices of meatball that the kids loved Spinach, shroom, gorgonzola awesome! I missed these since we moved outta CT. Frank Pepe's the best pizza (ah beetz) ♡

Our Seg er Jessica was amazing. I explained to her out situation that we left Tampa because of the Hurricane and we had 2 cats in their cage. She accommodated us The Pizza lived up to the hype. The crust was thin and crispy/well done. The sauce was divine and the cheese amazing. Very great great experience all around. The Tomato Pie was great too! They need one in Tampa!

Restaurant looked pretty on inside and staff was friendly. First time picking up. Large pizza, $40, 2 toppings. Pizza was sadly burnt through all the breading, crust inedible, and pepperonis scorched. Will not be ordering again.

Max was my waiter. He was the best part of my trip here. The pizza looks amazing but it comes with no flavor. It was completely bland. I couldn't even taste the sauce. I asked or oregano before hand I like to add it maybe third slice. I had to use it right away and I only tasted oregano. The place looks amazing but the pizza for me. Isn't there. I would of left a 1 star but I was able to eat half and I still paid for the pizza.

Really love this place. They have a $45 pizza sampler that's totally worth it. Any 3 pies of your choice. They also offer $10 off when you sign up on the app. Food and service are always on point. Clean establishment and well run. Would totally come back!

My boyfriend dragged me in after insisting this is one of the best new pizza spots and it didn't disappoint! The pizzas are done very well - good amount of cheese and sauce, not too floppy and nice and charred. We opted for a classic cheese! We also tried the salad which was nice and refreshing. Prices are reasonable! The waiter was friendly and attentive and the service overall was quick! Great place for a quick lunch (there's a lunch special) or a dinner!

This pizzeria it's great for a random date night within the week . We wanted to explore a bit more of what plantation had to offer and try new restaurants, and finding out this oven fire pizza was the best ! Pizza was fresh and delicious, wish they had more options like for appetizers like calamari or even garlic bread , but the only thing available was pizza and salad . The toppings are limited so makes it a bit hard for younger people with toppings . Pizza was good but limited toppings and they didn't have any appetizers options . Hopefully there's some updates to the menu !

I recently had the chance to visit the new Frank Pepe location in Plantation, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered a classic pepperoni pizza, and it was cooked to perfections with crispy, thin crust. I also tried Pepe's Italian Salad, which was fresh, full of delicious ingredients, and complemented the pizza perfectly. The service was attentive, friendly, and they provided helpful recommendations. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning soon to explore more of the menu.

Best pizza in South Florida. I've been to the original location in New Haven and while this doesn't quite compare, it's still very good. Service is quick and constant. The pizza is perfectly charred and the cheese is on point. 8.5/10 on the Portnoy scale!

I love pizza especially thin crust. This location is in the midtown plantation area among other eateries The restaurant only exclusive serve pizza and some salad/ desert option. We got the sample 3 for 45 and signed up for there reward program to get 10 off. There is also similar coupon from plantation neighborhood flyer. Service was quick and promptly. Pizza was crispy n had great quality topping. Make sure to try the white clams pizza n I heard good things abt their current seasonal pizza of crushed tomato pie. We didn't order that n I opted for more meaty options with rustic mushroom n the special. The special was my least favorite but the other two were great. Would def come back for pizza craving

I love New Haven style pizza and was excited to find out that Frank Pepe's opened in Florida. We walked in on a Saturday evening as a party of 4 and were seated in 5 minutes. The server was friendly and since it was our first time we were able to get $10.00 off by downloading the rewards app. We ordered the large original with mozzarella cheese. The pizza came out in a timely manner and we were checked upon. I feel like there could have been a little more flavor to the pizza. It's good pizza but didn't wow me. If you want New Haven style pizza then check this place out.

Service was excellent and the food was great. Every thing was fantastic. The salad was fresh and the sangria was delicious too

Been here a few times great location to the plantation community not as good as the original in Connecticut but a great option to choose from in the Florida market. Best to eat the pizza there while they take it out fresh out the oven.

I went to Frank Pepe's with friends. The menu was filled with delicious dishes, including the variety of pizzas and toppings to make your pizza. The pizzas here are well known. The gallato for desert was excellent as well. Staff is very friendly. For Yelpers who check-in, you will receive a free gellato. The restaurant itself is small with tables and booths. People can order in or order takeout. There is plenty of light coming in from the windows. This was my first time in the area after the remodeling. There is a parking garage and parking on the street.

Came in for dinner on Friday night for dinner and we were very happy with the food and service. We we came in I was greeted immediately. It was not packed but it quickly got busy. Our server told us a bit of the history of the restaurant and how the pizza was made. The menu is super basic (no starters , apps, wings or pastas) is simply pizza, salad and dessert nothing more. I first started with the Pepe salad which I thought it was pretty good. For drink we did the sangrias and decided to add half a pitcher more because they were really good. For entree we had a 10" pepperoni and a 12" shrimp pizza. Both pies were delicious with a very thin charred crust. Overall i really enjoyed everything and i would be back.

The pizza is an excellent representation of what pizza tastes like in Naples, Italy. Come during happy hour for a discount on salads, and pizza. You'll get an even better discount on the wine. Our server was a very friendly drill sergeant, and I knew my life would be in her hands without regrets. Make sure to check in for the free gelato. Max and I got a pizza to go so we could pack it in our lunch bag for the next day. The rest was put in zip lock bags and will remain in the freezer until we have a late night snack attack. Check out the true Italian pizza oven before you leave. Max and I came to meet up with our friends that we met through Yelp. You can't go wrong with good friends, pizza, and a salute to great Italian wine.

This place has amazing food and staff and a happy hour! Happy hour is 2-6 Sun-thurs. A teacher's heaven. There are $10 pizzas, antipasto, and $5 wines. The pizza is thin crust, perfectly toasty and crispy, and has that little black charcoal burn from the oven. I will def be back. Clean bathrooms, huge parking garage, lovely staff. Plus the plaza has shipping and other restaurants. Super cute area.

A Plantation Walk pizza paradise. The waitress and manager were very fun and discussed food with me of course. Ordered the onion pizza and a vanilla gelato. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the onions were sweet. I loved the hand made appearance to the pizza - not commercialized. After eating I walked around the area with my cold gelato in hand. Loved it here and will return soon.

Very disappointing, I have been a Pepes Pizza patron for more than 45 years. I called to ask what time they would seat. The person I spoke with told me specifically 930 to 945 respectfully. We drove around the limited parking area, and I had my son drop me off and he would try to find a spot, I walked to the counter at 932 after I was in the wrong check in area, and they said they would not seat us. I asked the employee if he was serious. He said " don't you know how long we have been here " I ordered to go and sat at the table with no waiter outside. No tip and no service. We ate out of the box and finished before the inhouse paying customers. WE WILL NOT RETURN,

The pizza was really good, not exactly New Haven but still very good. Definitely a tier above the major chain pizza spots

I came on a Thursday night with some of my girlfriends. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and inviting but we ate outside because it was so beautiful out. Our server was NAY and she was AMAZING! She was so kind, had so much information on the menu items, and accommodating for my friend who does not eat sausage. I thought the prices were great. They had a Frank Pepe Small Pie sampler which was 3 personal size pizza for 3 for$45, 4 or $60 and 5 for $75. The pizza I ordered was the veggie special. Which was delicious! I also tried the Margherita pizza and the chicken diavolo. I also ordered a pitcher of sangria which was great. I enjoyed everything! The only thing I could possibly recommend is having one the following available to customers weather its an additional charge or not: Ranch or hot honey. I would have LOVED either and they do not carry ranch or hot honey. Lastly, We tried the tiramisu and it was so delicious I didn't have time to take a picture. It was devoured by everyone! Overall, great experience and I will definitely be back soon.

Very slow service at 1:30 with very few people in the restaurant. Food of course is good but waiter not trained properly, I was handed a Spanish only men, and not offered the lunch special yet I ordered same items, had to call him several times to get water refill. Originally order iced tee but sweet tea was delivered as apparently they only have sweet tea. He should have mentioned that.

I ordered food to go! I am a Connecticut native, so I've always been a huge Pepe's fan! I was so surprised to see that opened one in south Florida! The food was ready promptly when they said it would be! I ordered the plain pie with cheese. I also ordered one with meatball and ricotta. They both were delicious, but my coworker and I preferred just the cheese! The crust has a perfect crunch and the flavor of the sauce is incredible!

Ten of us that have worked together for decades and we are now retired periodically meet for lunch, today one of the retirees attending was from the Fort Pierce area. We moved our lunch meeting a little bit further north to try to accommodate him. There was no issue in accommodating the ten of us, as they put some tables together. Our waitress Nikki came by and took our order for drinks of anything outside of water, a few of the guys ordered different kinds of beer, myself I ordered a club soda with lime. We ordered three pizzas, two of them, pepperoni, and sausage and the other one the white clam.all three pizzas were very good, tasty and full of flavor, Nikki was outstanding and overall we had a pleasant event for what a lunch gathering could be.

There seem to be a large group after a funeral here as there were only a couple of tables, and it was very noisy. We have the app, and give our phone number at the end of the meal to get points and discounts. We pay a 1% tax to the Plantation Walk Entertainment. Service is impeccable, there is free parking in front. We started with a cold, fresh delicious Caesar salad that was perfectly dressed. I enjoyed a small half shrimp, & baked clam pie that was flavorful and delicious. My husband's meat pie was overflowing with pepperoni, sausages, and meatballs. We love the thin crust, sweet sauce, and quality mozzarella .

I have been wanting to go here for a while. My friend and I were supposed to go somewhere else but I asked if she wanted to go here. She was happy to. Things started off good with our very nice and helpful server. I was too busy talking to my friend to remember to ask our server's name. But she was the only one working today, 10/27/23 at 12:30. We decided to each order the lunch special. This includes a fountain drink with a small.Frank Pepe salad and a 10 inch pizza with one topping.good. is $15. My friend ordered sausage on hers. She loved the food. I wanted ham on my pizza and was surprised they didn't offer that as an option. Anyway, I ordered mushroom. The pizza looked delicious but really lacked flavor. I just didn't taste much. I brought home a couple slices to munch on later in the day because it was still early. I did not heat up the pizza and it tasted better at home. The salad was very fresh. I liked the dressing. I think it is balsamic vinaigrette? Overall, it was great seeing my friend and the meal was ok. Oh yeah, our server told us right away the pizza is burnt. I am.glad she did so we weren't surprised. My pizza actually wasn't too burnt. I would come back here if someone else wanted to.

I really wanted to fall in love with the clam pizza, but it just didn't do it for me. My mom was a long time resident of mystic, Connecticut and we used to eat the best fresh seafood, so I guess my expectations were set too high. The service was great, but when I tasted the clam pizza I was overwhelmed with a burnt garlic taste that failed to wow me. The pizza really needed so lemon, parsley or something to elevate the one note of flavor. My bf called me crazy and said it was delicious, but I just couldn't agree. I guess we will agree to disagree. We took it home and I added some fresh parsley and lemon and it was a tad bit better.

Afternoon date for some pizza. Delish. Love this new area of town with new restaurants. I hope to return and try their other pizzas soon.

I went here to eat dinner with my wife. It's in a nice part of town which has free parking and other community events outside. We both ordered a cesar salad, my wife ordered a cheese pizza and I ordered the hot pepper pizza. The Caesar salad was delicious. My pizza came in a wrong smaller size. It appeared they were short staff and difficult to get the intentions of the employees. Finally, when asking about the size difference, the employee apologized and offered to make another pizza pie on the house or reduce the price to the smaller size. I chose the latter. The pizza was pretty good.

Went here for the first time and it did not disappoint. The ambience was great, service was amazing, and food was tasty. You even get $10 off your first purchase when scanning the QR to make an account.

OMGOODNESS!!! What a great experience! The day we arrived the Manager was the ONLY wait staff and he was doing it all. We only waited momentarily nothing like any other place with a FULL STAFF! The manager DID AN AMAZING job. The good understatement Deliciously phenomenal food and it was delivered by that single employee in a great timeframe.

Finally, a place that does good Neapolitan style pizza in the Plantation area! I thoroughly enjoyed both pizzas we ordered on our first visit, and really liked the sound of many of the other menu options. The special pizza had great flavor and tons of toppings, I particularly liked that the meats weren't greasy and the flavor of the sausage. The shrimp pizza was super different too! I was a little worried that the shrimp might overcook, but they were perfect, and the white sauce was creamy and rich without being too buttery or heavy. Both pizzas had good body and stood up to the toppings without getting soggy or being chewy. One word of warning though, due to the way they serve the pizzas, whoever sits on the end is going to be stuck serving the whole table (check the photos, you'll see what I mean). The only downside to our experience was the service. Our waiter was unfortunately not the best. He didn't put our salad order in correctly so it had to be remade, consistently forgot to bring things we'd asked for, was very slow and inattentive, and for whatever reason, kept setting drinks down really hard and sloshing them over the side. If not for the manager, it would've been a lot worse. He, thankfully, was making rounds at the time, and was both personable and quick to help. I think they opened fairly recently, so I would be willing to try dining in again and see if service was better a second time. I also would like to try doing takeout, to see whether things get soggy on the drive home. So - verdict is still out on service, but the flavor of the pizzas was very good.

This spot is in the new outdoor promenade in Plantation. It's a nice area with lots of eateries - glad there is something like this! Parking: depending on the time of day, it could be difficult to find nearby parking but there is ample parking. Vibe: we went on a Saturday evening and there were just a few people. So if you want peace and quiet, this is a good spot for families or anyone really. Service: we had a Jamaican waitress. She was jolly, well informed and very nice! Food: it wasn't great. The pizza is a good size but not very tasty. It was also very dry. I think they may have needed to put more sauce on it. We ate more of the pepperonis than the size. Return? Yea, we will go back and sure to ask for extra sauce.

I have ordered from here many time since they opened up. My girlfriend is from Connecticut and the last time we visited we didn't get a chance to try Frank Pepe's, only Sally's. So when they opened the plantation location we were super excited. They were a bit inconsistent at first but they seemed to have figured things out. We have not had the chance to dine in so the majority of the times we have it delivered or pick it up if we are in the area. I absolutely love this style of pizza. Today the crust was just slightly thicker than I remember but that did not affect the quality of the pizza. There is so much flavor, especially in the sauce! They put just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Do not skip out on the doppio pepperoni's, yum! If you do not like a "burnt" crust and flavor, this pizza is not for you. Love this place, hits the spot every time!

Finally a different pizza experience. Fresh out of the oven pizza. Delicious toppings and super attentive customer service. Plenty of tables and well spaced out!

Big caveat: I've been to the original pizzeria in New Haven, CT and love it. Over there the sauce is fresh, the crust is thin and charred. The pizza just tasted amazing. The plantation version isn't that. It's fine, it's edible good pizza. But carrying the Frank Pepe name comes with very large shoes to fill. The pizza was way too doughy and not in a very good way. The restaurant seemed nice inside, they tried to make it look like the original which is nice and the people I spoke to were pleasant. If this pizzeria had any other name I would give it 4 stars. But if you're looking for real New Haven style pizza in South Florida. Just get on I-95, drive north and don't stop till you get to Connecticut.

Great service! Great food!! The employees all were super friendly and very nice! They were very accommodating!

I was very excited to try Frank Pepe's. Being a fan of Dave Portnoy, I was excited to find out that a New Haven pizza icon had opened it's doors so close to me. Walking in to the replica oven was pretty cool, the hostess and the pizza makers were very welcoming and courteous. We had a Cesar salad which was great and ordered a medium tomato pie with mozzarella. Unfortunately the pizza had no flavor or crunch (the back crust was the only crunchy part). I've never had New Haven style pizza before, but I can only imagine that this wasn't even close to it. I feel bad writing this review because I love their story. I hope to one day try the original up in NH.

I truly have no words for how great my experience here was. As a Connecticut Native passing through, I had to give it a shot and now it will be a ritual stop. The staff and service was phenomenal. Pizza was everything I've missed since I've moved away from home! Felt like I was sitting back in New Haven at times! Cant wait to return!

New pizza joint which really surprised me and my wife. The crust is super crispy and the sauce and cheese were perfect. Our waitress was great and always checking to make sure we were okay. A medium pizza is 12 slices and plenty for two people. The inside had pictures of the original Pepe's and it was super clean and modern.

Follow up review. My review gets "old". I try and get to Pepe's monthly. It's one of my favorite pizza joints in ny/ct. an my favorite down here. Yesterday's pizza was baked to perfection. Crispy and not burnt bottom. . Should be back next month. If not sooner

THE REVIEW IS HERE!!! Ordered 2 pizzas for takeout, we got a margarita pizza and a pepperoni one which were both coal fire pizzas. The margarita pizza was filled with tomato sauce and not enough cheese or basil (to me it was more of a tomato sauce pizza than a margarita one), it also tasted very bland to the point where I had to had garlic powder and Parmesan cheese... The pepperoni pizza was cooked well, and they added a lot of pepperoni, but it lacked a lot of flavor. The main thing was that the crust was extremely tough and burnt and not very pleasant to eat.

I had the trio sampler, the meatball and ricotta is delicious! You can't go wrong with the cheese. Would recommend for any pizza lover.

We came to this restaurant to try the Florida version of New Haven's Frank Pepe. At first we were scared it wouldn't be the same but surely it delivered. Very happy to say it tastes very close to the New Haven one. We actually found out about the place since it was told by our waitress in the New Haven location. We try the sampler since we had just one small pizza in the other location. I want to say the service was on point, our waiter was very attentive and ask always if we needed anything. All hands were on deck, hostess sat us right away, and the waiter was there was we sat. He also apologized for the delay as there was a big party that delayed all orders. The place is very similar to the one in New Haven just a bit newer since it opened a few months ago. We tried the three pizza sample you can pick three styles of pizza for $45 it's a great value and you get to try a bit of at least three types of pizzas. They also had a date special which included a bottle of wine. Overall highly recommend this place even the outside center was great to walk around after eating.

The pizza is phenomenal. I had just a regular tomato mozzarella, and ittasted very crunchy. The sauce is on the sweeter side and cheese tasted great. They use a coal fire oven so if you don't like it a little crispy and slightly burnt on the edges it may not be for you, but they don't burn it to a crisp like other coal fire places. It's perfect. The restaurant so looks really cool. It looks modern but still has that pizza shop flair. Service was prompt in the staff is very nice. I recommend this place to any pizza lover

Located right at one of the entrances to Plantation Walk, it's hard to miss. We had a party of 4, two of us were part of the Yelp event. It seemed like they were shorthanded, because we only saw one waiter the entire night bouncing around, so everything took a bit of time to order or come out. One of the things I enjoyed was the dough, it wasn't too thin or thick and had just the right amount of chew. Also nothing we had came out too burnt, which can happen at many coal fired pizza places. They had great options for topping without being overwhelming, and only 3 salads and 3 desserts. We all got the free gelato for checking in, and we all had the same complaint, that it was incredibly artificial tasting. But all the staff was very nice and the restaurant was clean, so I'll definitely be back to try some other pizza toppings and recommend you check this place out too.

As a New Haven county native, this apizzeria was hands down, by far one of my best pizza experiences. The apizza was perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of toppings. Additionally, the servers and kitchen staff alike were very pleasant and welcoming. The atmosphere was amazing and reminded me of spending Fridays at my local apizzeria back home. Overall, when I am in the Plantation area again, I will undoubtedly be visiting to get a large pepperoni pie and Foxon Park ginger ale!

I made a reservation through Yelp for a Sunday evening, but it was not needed. The restaurant was a little quiet inside, and we were given a choice of a booth or a standard table. Our server Nicholas P. was very good and made our dinner very nice. He made pizza recommendations for the crispness of the crust. We started with a Caesar salad. The dressing was good, but I wish the croutons were not from a box. Then we ordered a small 12" Clam Pizza. It was very garlicy and a little oily, but that was to be expected because the crust was thin and crispy, so it did not soak up the oil. There is no cheese on this pizza, so it is really more like a garlic and oil flatbread with clam pieces. I don't think I would order it again, but I would definitely return to order the mushroom sausage pizza. Service from the kitchen was very quick all our food was served at the right temperature. They have a $15.00 lunch special as well as monthly specials on a chalkboard. If you join their rewards club online, you get discounts for both in store and for takeout. There is plenty of parking too, both in the free garage and also behind the restaurant.

Great pizza !! Great location and great staff !! Pairs great with their delicious sangria. And you have to finish it off with a gelato or their unbelievable tiramisu!

Having been numerous times to the New Haven location, this pizza stacks up very well to the homegrown pizza. The place is well adorned and seating is very comfortable We had pitchers of Peroni which hit the spot. We had a mixed salad which was very good although the next time we would opt for dressing on the side. We ordered three pizzas knowing we would take some home. We had the Margarita, the rustic mushroom and sausage and the meatball and ricotta. All were delicious. We are big fans of " New Haven" style pizza and the char was just right. It will become our go to place for pizza here in Broward

Having a special place in my heart for New Haven style, I had to try the original. Tiles on the walls, big open pizza kitchen when you walk in. The place felt old school. Service was excellent, we went for lunch two days before thanksgiving and it was empty. The waitress told us about New Haven style, and while we knew, we took in the experience. Pizza was perfect. We had two, chicken and Broccoli. Lots of toppings, great crust while not being too overdone. The other was the no cheese tomato pie. Wow. Just wow. No matter what you hear, you gotta try it.

So I'm originally from CT & have gone to the original Pepe's in New Haven many times. I was looking forward to trying a location outside of CT. The ambiance is great as is the service. I will say the pizza was lacking flavor for the mushroom pie & the white clam pie was a bit dry for my lacking. So, my 1st experience wasn't what I was hoping it would be but.... I will definitely go again. Maybe it was an off day.

First time visiting. Was pretty empty when we first arrived (Wednesday around 730pm). But more groups showed up while we were there. Nick was our server and helped us with our options. There isn't any apps besides a few salad choices. My red sangria was actually pretty good. The clam pizza was a little dry, but we skipped the option of adding a sauce so i would recommend to add a sauce. The crust was perfect on all the pizzas we ordered. Overall is was a good experience and would recommend.
