***** Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, 1071 South Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, (561) 431-5601.
Got a real good coal fired oven pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach.
Simple tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and two other couples “discovered” Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach and its food was right on the money! For you guys who maybe wondering, yes- Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach is owned by the same Pepe Family who in 1925 opened the now legendary Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Connecticut!
Inside table & booth seating/outside covered patio table seating, reasonably priced coal fired oven pizzas/ salads/ desserts/ beer/ wine/ Foxon Park sodas menu.
Let’s wrap-up Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana by saying, if you’re not into coal fired oven pizza-this joint is not going to work for you, the joint’s pizzas were real good! Jeff Eats doesn’t know if Delray Beach’s pizza is as good/better/worse than New Haven’s pizza because he has never been to the original location, that the joint is open 7-days a week 11am-10pm, that you can check menu/prices/other locations (Yes, Virginia there are others) at pepespizzeria.com.
Jeff,
My family has eaten many times in the original location. Its pizza has always been sensational.
My wife and I have eaten 2x in the Delray Beach joint a few months ago. Personally, we liked the pizza but thought that it wasn’t quite as good as the Oriuginal’s pizza. Don’t get me wrong, the pizza was delicious, but not quite as good.
For the convenience of your readers, there are currently 2 Florida locations.
Delray Beach and
Plantation

Happy New Year,

I have been hearing about the New Haven joint for years. Never been there. A few months ago, I ate at the Plantation location and thought that the cheese pizza was pretty good but far from being great. For sure, it was way better than Anthony’s Coal Fired pizza, but not as good as Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach, Grimaldi’s in Palm Beach Gardens and Tucci’s in Boca Raton.
Jeff,
I am sure that you’ve seen Dave’s review on the Plantation location.
Not exactly great!

I love coal oven fired pizza.
I have been to the New Haven restaurant and the pizza was terrific.
I have also been to the Delray Beach outpost and I really enjoyed the pizza.
You guys should definitely try the Delray Beach joint, the pizza was really good.
Since someone else has already mentioned Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach, I have also had that pizza and I would rate Ah-Betz ,better than Delray Pepe but that’s just my opinion.
My husband and I ate in the Delray Beach Pepe and the white clam pizza we had was delicious.
Looking forward to trying many of the other pizzas they baked up.
There are currently 16 locations.
2 of which, Delray Beach and Plantation are in Florida.
I have eaten in New Haven, and both Florida locations and all 3 were very good. If I had to rank in order, New Haven, Delray Beach, Plantation.
The pizza was fine but doesn’t compare to Ah-Beetz which is excellent.
My family and I have eaten at the New Haven location for over 40 years. Absolutely awesome pizza.
We have eaten in both the Plantation and Delray Beach locations and the pizza was good but not in the league of the New Haven restaurant.
Not sure why. Maybe it’s the water. Maybe the new ovens aren’t seasoned from use like the New Haven ones.
I’ve never been to Pepe in New Haven. Over the years I’ve heard only phenomenal things about it.
With the above in mind, I really expected amazingly delicious pizza when my wife and I ate at Pepe in Delray Beach.
The verdict, really delicious coal fired oven white clam and cheese pizzas and salads.
We definitely will be back.
One of these days, we plan to get to Pepe New Haven.
Jeff Eats,
I have eaten in New Haven, Delray Beach and Plantation. New Haven was great. The other two were good but nowhere as terrific as New Haven.
My husband and I have eaten in the new Delray Beach restaurant and the cheese pizza and Caesar salad that we had were delicious.
I tried the Plantation 2 weeks ago.
I wasn’t impressed with its pizza.
Earlier this evening my wife and I ate dinner at Frank Pepe in Delray Beach. We shared White Clam Pizza, Caesar Salad, Foxon Park Orange soda and Foxon Park Cream soda and the meal was terrific.
Just my opinion,
Last night, My wife and I and a couple of friends ate at Delray Beach and the pizza etc was very good.
All of us have eaten at the original in New Haven many times and we all agreed that Delray Beach isn’t as good, but as mentioned above was still very good.
Delicious pizza and salads.
The best coal fired pizzas that I’ve had in south Florida in no particular order, Pepe in Delray Beach, Tucci’s in Boca Raton and Ah-Beetz in Delay Beach.
Believe, you can’t go wrong eating at any one of these joints.
Last night my wife and I ate Pepe in Delray and the pizza and salad that we had was delicious.
My husband and I have eaten in both Florida locations, Delray and Plantation and both locations’ pizza was really good.
PIZZA IS VERY GOOD,
NEW Haven’s is better.
Ive eaten in the original location many times.
Last night I ate in the Delray Beach location. Decent enough, but the pizza isn’t as good as that served at the original location.
