Sally's and Pepe's: Rivals or... Relatives?

Most New Haven locals and Yale students say that Pepe's and Sally's have great pizza and a longstanding rivalry. But the owners at these Wooster Square restaurants share another side of the story.

Sally's is what I prefer

pepe's crust is the key. chewy in the middle and charred or even burned on the ouside.they serve it on a big tray with wax paper and no dishes. the coal fired oven makes a huge difference in temp.. and flavor. go when it's not that busy.

i made pizzas at pepes for two years and as a first generation italian they are an embarassment they have several illegal mexicans working there that get paid in cash twice as much as any other employee they are a down right disgrace and all of franks grandchildren are bipolar and just plan crazy i would not reccomend eating there go to sallys

My folks were born in New Haven, and we've been going to Wooster St as long as I can remember. What's funny is that my dad often mentioned the Sally's v Pepe's rivalry... but we always went to Pepe's/Spot. I mentioned this once-- that I never had Sally's-- and they were somehow surprised.

I think the longest we ever waited was 2 hrs.

Btw, a great pizza place in Carmel, IN, is based on Pepe's. I about died when I tried it. It is VERY close!! Called Pizzology. Hot oven, fresh ingreds. Craft beers

If I were that little girl carrying the box, I'd be biting off the fingers of those trying to touch! I go to the Pepe's at Mohegan Sun WEEKLY because I'm so addicted. I drive 15 minutes, then find parking just for it :) I have stopped eating any other pizza. The rest are just garbage to me! Can't help it.
