Frank Pepe Pizza
157 Wooster St
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is arguably the world's most famous pizza spot in the Italian district of New Haven. They're famous for their thin crust pies and specialty white clam, which won the title of "Best Pizza in America"
Modern Apizza, located on State Street, was founded in 1934 and has been in the same spot ever since. Modern serves New Haven-style thin-crust apizza and uses an oil-fueled brick oven.
Douglas Coffin, founder of Big Green Truck Pizza, saw an opportunity in the old Humphrey's location to bring back some of that neighborly feeling, drawing on his own diverse New Haven experiences. Thus, Next Door was born!
