We could smell it in the parking lot! We try to hit the good barstool review spots. This one is ranked number two! In my opinion it’s better than the #1 spot we visited! The space is nice and clean. Staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. The PIZZA is our of this world good! If you’re in the area and appreciate good pie you HAVE to stop here! The best!

If I could rate 0 or negative stars I would. I ordered a pizza using Uber eats tonight and they sent me garbage. A burnt pizza! Really? You charge so much for a small pie and have the audacity to send poor quality (greasy and burnt)! Is this how you represent your company? Cheap frozen pizza is better! Avoid like the plague!

This was a delivery order so I can’t speak to the atmosphere but I can say the pizza was EXCELLENT. I ordered the meatball and ricotta pizza and I was super happy with my choice.

Frank Pepe’s pizzeria is a must-try for any pizza lover. The pizza is simply the best. The crust, sauce, and cheese are all top-notch, and the coal-fired oven gives it a unique flavor that you can’t find anywhere else. The service is also excellent, BEST PIZZA HANDS DOWN!!

First had Frank Pepes upon a drive to Vermont for a summer session for a college, stopped there original CT location, so upon getting a location near Boston college it is a must try!. I typically order the white clam pizza with extra garlic which from being born and raised near the jersey shore it’s delightful and a change of pace an excellent product all around, additionally, I get the Pepe salad large which has fresh lettuce onion, tomato and black Italian.olives! Lastly if in season will get the tamato original pie if in season whereas, I myself need low cheese, while can have some I do have a food allergy typically if tell beforehand they will comply unless they think you are joking if you are a customer who cones back often why would you think ones joking! So always check before leaving as this happened only twice! Whereas, The restaurant Pizzeria has always had an excellent product and service and high average atmosphere !

Frank Pepe was a good experience. We had fast service and the pizza was great. We got the tomato pie which had basil, mozzarella, tomato, grated cheese and olive oil. The coal fire gave the pie a bit. It was delicious and worth every penny. Definitely, recommend you go try for yourself.

Moved to Boston about five months ago and have been pretty disappointed in the pizza scene here. Read Frank Pepe was worth a trip and yes was it. Sat down in the shop with my son for a salad and pepperoni and took a cheese pie home. Top shelf ingredients and very unique crust, charred and very crunchy. Man this is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.
