Pizza from Pepe’s in New Haven, CT

4:13 PM

Matt Peloquin

Pepe’s is a legendary pizza place, considered to be the best in the United States and one of the best in the world.

I included a pilgrimage on Friday to New Haven on my way to Pennsylvania. As always, it was fantastic.

However, for pizza savorers around the world, I beg you to travel to West Milford, NJ and get a plain cheese pie from Vesuvio’s Pizza. It IS better than Pepe’s. I said it.

When in Seattle, #xiaolongbao #soupdumplings from @dintaifungusa are always worth the visit. There are a few other soup dumpling options worth trying in Seattle, but you can’t go wrong here.
