Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Opening Stamford Location June 17

This just in from the folks at Frank Pepe’s.

Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, the 99-year-old legacy brand world famous for its New Haven-style pizza, will open its highly anticipated Stamford location Monday, June 17. Ahead of the official opening, the restaurant will host a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 am with Frank Pepe’s family members, staff, the Stamford Chamber of Commerce and city officials.

The new restaurant, located in Bull’s Head Shopping Center at 64 High Ridge Road, marks the brand’s 17th location spanning the east coast.

"My family and I are thrilled to bring Pepe’s Pizza to Stamford, especially for our loyal fans in Fairfield County who have traveled to our Fairfield and New Haven locations for years," said Jennifer Bimonte-Kelly, who, along with other family members, will visit the store on opening day. "We’re excited to bring our renowned oven, along with the same high-quality ingredients and processes, to our dedicated customers in this area.”

The restaurant will uphold the traditions Pepe’s fans have come to know and love, including sourcing the highest quality ingredients, crafting that signature char and providing exceptional customer service

The Stamford eatery will feature the iconic look and feel of Pepe’s original Wooster Street location—evoking the same comfort, familiarity and tradition. As a special treat for Stamford guests, the restaurant will serve the legendary Fresh Tomato Pie weeks before the official launch, providing a sneak peek into the beloved summer special.

The 102-seat restaurant is visually dominated by the view of its 14 x 14-foot, 104,000-pound coal-fired oven, a customized replica from its famed locale and the significant "paddle area," where expert pizzaiolos create made-to-order masterpieces on an oak wood table and use 16-foot-long paddles to place them in the 600-degree oven. 

 Busillo along with Leo Martinez and Carol Humbert have been part of the Frank Pepe family for a combined 40+ years and will ensure a seamless opening. To maintain a high standard of excellence, veteran employee Victor Suarez, team members from the Fairfield and Yonkers locations and dedicated cooks will join the Stamford team.

Hours of operation are 11 am to 10 pm, seven days a week. In addition to dining in as well as outdoor patio space, patrons can carry out by calling 475-977-7373. The restaurant will also offer online ordering and catering services in the near future.
