Verifiability of being First pizza restaurant in US

What do we have to support this claim? (i.e. Is it verifiable?) RJFJR 17:36, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

It's not. Pepe's was at best, the 5th pizzeria in the US. Lombardi's (NYC), Joe's Tomatoe Pies (Trenton), Papa's Tomatoe Pies (trenton), and Tottono's (Coney Island) were all before. Here's a link for a Pizza timeline. Pepes comes in 5th on his list opening 20 years after Lombardi's. [1].Coumarin 18:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

White pies

I've gone to Sally's, Modern Apizza, and Pepe's, and I have not once asked for tomato sauce yet recieve it all the time. Where does this statement come from?

In New Haven the following terms are used: Plain Pizza - Tomato sauce and no cheese White Pizza - Cheese and no tomato sauce Cheese Pizza - Tomato sauce and cheese

White pie usually refers to a pie with seafood. As you wouldn't mix cheese with clams, the term means no cheese. However this is misleading, since in most other places around the state you order a white pie with cheese (and sometimes even clams, which of course, is disgusting). So, when you go to Pepe's next time, order a clam pie (I recommend with bacon). The pie will come out with fresh shucked clams, bacon, olive oil, garlic(maybe oregano).

advert

Reads like an advertisement from start to finish. Utterly unencyclopedic. wikipediatrix 21:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Believe it or not, it is an important New Haven institution, as you can verify by reading the references. Everything is a fact as I can tell. The only statement I could not verify is that "the crust is chewier at Pepe's", which is of course too subjective. Itub 00:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Almost everything in the last two paragraphs is still subjective. It's not enough to make a Wikipedia article make a POV statement and then cite a source. You need to rewrite it so that it says the source is the one saying these things. And there's no need to repost the entire AfD on this page, a link would suffice. (Why did you feel the need to do so anyway??)wikipediatrix 02:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

If you want to advertise, buy an ad spot in UConn's newspaper instead of doing it on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.57.216 (talk) 23:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure what to do about an incorrect reverter..

New Haven style pizza may be baked in any type of oven. Most popular is coal or wood, but gas can certainly be used. Some guy keeps reverting a minor correction I've made regarding this, and he's flat out wrong. How do I stop it?

Here's a great example of New Haven style pizza: http://newhavenpizzaproject.com/2009/01/27/roseland-apizza-derby-ct/

Yes, they use a gas oven.

Best bet is to find a ref. However, if he says something like, "Well, that's not REAL 'apizza'" you can ask for help. Or we can talk it out here, which might help too.

In my opinion, coal is the only way, but it's my opinion, not a definitive answer. I've been very careful to leave your changes alone, as a result. I may not agree, but that's my problem. - Denimadept (talk) 19:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hope I'm using the : right, I have no experience in talk page discussions. The article says "New Haven-style thin-crust apizza (closely related to Neapolitan-style Italian pizza) which is baked in coal-fired brick ovens" which is just untrue. Perhaps the reverter considers himself a purist, but the fact is, today, New Haven style apizza is baked in all types of ovens. Might it be more acceptable to say instead, "which was traditionally baked in coal-fired brick ovens, although other oven types are used today?" 71.233.241.251 (talk) 19:33, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

You're doing fine, though it'd be nice if you had an actual name rather than just an IP address. :-D I can't argue with your point of view, 'cause I see that as correct. The atmosphere of the restaurant strikes me as important, as you can't just buy Pepe's (for instance) in the frozen foods aisle and call it "right", or at least not yet... but again that's my opinion. Markvs88 (talk · contribs) apparently feels differently. I'm going to call him to this section, in case he's unaware of it. - Denimadept (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

As always, it's best to stick to what reliable sources have to say about the matter. If the sources say NH-style apizza is traditionally baked in a coal fired oven, then so should this article. If they are silent on the matter, then we should be too. Unfortunately, I don't this newhavenpizzaproject.com counts as a reliable source. Yilloslime ^T_C 19:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

As stated above, reliable sources are best. Also, if atmosphere is really important (also above), do we count the decor of Modern or the ambience of Sally's negatively? ;-)

Who's to say that Roselands is necessarily New Haven style pizza? Is it delicious? Yes! And I've been to Roselands dozens of times. I've also seen on the chalkboard "Who needs New Haven?" or "Better than New Haven!". But I digress. Here is my reasoning for reverting the unknown editor's changes -

FIRST: Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, BAR, Brazi's, Brick Oven (*and* Roselands for that matter!) all use brick ovens, *not* "regular gas ovens" as commented. The only "regular gas oven" pizza I can think of that has any sort of a "following" is Zuppardi's, and they're in West Haven.

SECOND: New Haven style pizza originated in New Haven in 1925, not in Derby in 1934/5.

THIRD: We are talking about the "Pepe's page", not the "New Haven Pizza Style page"! The sentence in question: "Pepe's originated the New Haven-style thin-crust apizza (closely related to Neapolitan-style Italian pizza) which is baked in coal-fired brick ovens." -- means just that: PEPE'S uses coal ovens!

LASTLY: Please don't tell me (or anyone else) that I (they) don't know what I'm talking about. It does nothing to improve your case and it is not polite. No hard feelings though. Markvs88 (talk) 21:17, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I stand by the assertion that any oven type may be used to make New Haven style pizza. It's also possible to make New Haven style pizza outside of New Haven. Roseland is a good example. Harry's Bishop's Corner in West Hartford also comes to mind, and uses a gas oven as well. I wouldn't have taken issue with the sentence in question except that it does seem to imply that the only way of making a New Haven style pizza is in a coal fired brick oven. I called Roseland to ask today before I posted further, and the woman who answered said they use a gas oven. Again, if the sentence was less ambiguous in regard to your 'THIRD' point, and made it more clear that it refers only to 'PEPE's uses coal ovens!' I would drop all objection.71.233.241.251 (talk) 21:43, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

And I suspect that you're not quite getting my point. I'm debating that New Haven Style requires brick ovens, and that Pepe's uses coal. As stated in the first point, Roselands also has a brick oven. Feel free to call them again or use a search engine or even go there and see for yourself. Both Roselands and Modern use gas. Eli's and BAR use wood. Salerno's in Stratford, Sally's both use coal. Etc. But they all use BRICK ovens!

Again, you're free to edit the "New Haven Pizza Page" about fuel source and I won't stop you. But it is unfactual to state that Pepe's may or may not use a coal fired brick oven! Markvs88 (talk) 22:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I think it boils down to a language issue at this point. The article reads like all New Haven pizza must be baked in a coal fired brick oven. "Pepe's originated the New Haven-style thin-crust apizza (closely related to Neapolitan-style Italian pizza) which Pepe's bakes in coal-fired brick ovens." Would that be acceptable?71.233.241.251 (talk) 22:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks fine now, no chance folks'll confuse it for referring to all New Haven style pizza. 71.233.241.251 (talk) 14:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Still, no WAY would I go into a place with a gas oven.  :-D - Denimadept (talk) 15:53, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I am fine with this wording as it's accurate. Markvs88 (talk) 15:39, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Importance rating

Low??!?? This is one of the most important places in the whole state, and it's low??? - Denimadept (talk) 18:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

While I love Pepe's (been going for 20+ years and love New Haven Pizza in general), you've got to consider the rating categories. Top is reserved for nationally important CT articles. High is for articles that apply to the state like the counties, towns, major rivers etc. Mid is for articles that aren't vital but cover important topics like New Haven-style pizza or the Nichols Farms Historic District. Is Pepe's at that level? My POV is no, not quite. But that doesn't make it unimportant, just less important than other articles about CT. If the article's quality (notice you didn't complain about the Start status?) were expanded upon with more information as to why Pepe's is much more important than other establishments/articles, it would likely go up. Markvs88 (talk) 18:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd say that since it's "one of the oldest and best known in the country", as well as the preference of Ronald Reagan and others, that makes it more important than "low", but that's just me, partly tongue-in-cheek. I mean, it's a pizza place, but it strikes me as more the quintessential template of such rather than the normal neighborhood hole-in-the-wall. I've been going to Pepe's since I was a young child in the 1960s, and just laugh at pretenders like Modern. Sally's gets a "sniff" (read: yeah, sure). Other kinds of pizza do not compare. Chicago's Uno is nice, but it's not pizza; it's based on a pastry dough. And I've not yet found good New York pizza. - Denimadept (talk) 19:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree with your first two sentances totally, and that's why it's in Wikipedia in the first place. But to say Pepe's is as important as New Haven style pizza doesn't quite work, and to say New Haven style pizza is as important as any town in the state or the Housatonic River in terms of CT knowledge is kind of tough. Low is (for example) the rating for every Metro North station in the state except Bridgeport, New Haven & Stamford (because they're Amtrak & have yard depots too). So Low is certainly not unimportant! Remember, it's a Wikiproject Connecticut rating. If we started a Wikiproject Pizza or something, yeah... it'd be a lot higher! :-) Markvs88 (talk) 19:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Pizza... Now there is an idea. Hm. Pizza would be the main article, with a break-down as already suggested by that article. We'll have to agree to disagree on whether Pepe's is more important than "New Haven style pizza". - Denimadept (talk) 19:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

This article is utterly non encyclopedic. As well as the article on New Haven-style pizza.--Gciriani (talk) 16:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

First, that's a topic above this one. Second, how is it "non encyclopedic"? Markvs88 (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Questionable encyclopedic value

There is knowledge, and then there is Trivial Knowledge.

Remember, encyclopedias are impartial sources of knowledge of verified value. Never should a commercial establishment be incorporated in encyclopedias - since their vested interest in their own success distorts their perception of value, their aacounts of the establishment (no doubt negative facts would be excluded, becoming a dangerously distorted source of information), and since, by nature, businesses are compelled to advertize and create new business. Creating business is the sole purpose for the creation of such a commercial establishment - and all other factors are secondary to it.

Commercial establishments have a vested interest in casting a 'historical aura' around their business. As such, any commercial establishment should undergo observe rigorous stipulations verifying the authenticity of its historic value. The public, too, is atracted to the notion of popularizing a local atraction - it brings fame to their home. Yet, an encyclopedia is not the place to do so. It becomes clear that the value of an establishment is independent of personal opinion - particularly that of those associated with the establishment. Criteria may include achievements, such as being the (demonstrated) first establishment of its kind in the country. Remember, if you incorporate the 5th establishment of its kind, why stop there and not go to the 6th, 7th, and so on? There is nothing special about #5, and unless other achievements exist, its historic value becomes dabatable to all but the locals.

Commercial establishments have no place in a true encyclopedia - unless they constitute a significant historic monument. The Sears tower has significant historic value. Frank Pepe's, on the other hand, is simply a great Pizza Restaurant. Nothing more. There are myriads of incredible restaurants throughout the world - and you could fill whole libraries with them. Why would you incorporate one and not another? And if you incorporate them all, don't you run the risk of becoming an obsolete source of knowledge? Encyclopedias, public or not, should not dedicate to the publishing of Trivial Knowledge.

Encyclopedic articles on commercial establishments are closely related to encyclopedic articles on individuals. Many have historic value, yet the very vast majority has insignificant encyclopedic value (the only exception being family trees and biographies meant to be passed through generations IN a family - but that's a whole different publication). If an establishment of insignificant value is given an encyclopedic article, would an individual deserve an encyclopedic article too? If both have made no contributions of historic value, have no ties to historic events or monuments - then why not expand articles like Frank Pepe's to the common joe?

Frank Pepe's IS a talented Pizza Restaurant. I know - I love their pizza. And Frank Pepe's HAS significant value to the loyal customer base they - like many successful businesses - created. But that value lives, for the most part, within the boundaries of the city of New Haven, and neighboring cities. The significant question is not 'does it have value' - most businesses have loyal customers who would wholeheartedly affirm their value, many of which may have been the '5th' or the '6th' of their kind in the country. Instead, the question that arises - and which must be used for selection criteria into an encyclopedia is 'Does it have value to an IMPARTIAL observer'. Would an impartial judge see value in Frank Pepe's historic accomplishments?

I'm occasionally atracted to the idea of publishing an article which will let the world know how great something dear to me is. It's a human tendency. But if we let these tendencies dictate the content of encyclopedias, we end up with obsolete sources of knowledge of questionable authenticity and value. There is a place for our human tendencies; but an encyclopedia is the place for impartial, verifiable knowledge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lifeson22 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

I agree with some of your principles, but I also think it is important to remember that "wikipedia is not paper". I think this place is notable enough considering the "space" available on wikipedia (which is much, much greater than in a print encyclopedia). It is mentioned in books specifically about pizza and its history. It is mentioned in works of fiction. It is mentioned in biographies. And of course, it is mentioned in boooks about New Haven (and not only tourist guides). This article was nominated for deletion once and the consensus was to keep. In case anyone cares, I didn't create this article (I added a picture and edited the references a bit), and I am not affiliated with Pepe's in any way (I have visited it twice). I did live in New Haven for several years. Itub 14:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm the original creator of the article, and I don't have any affiliation with the restaurant, either. I also lived in New Haven for several years, though, so I did eat at the restaurant from time to time, but I wasn't really aware that it was any different from any other favorite college-town pizza hangout until I discovered that people I knew were making trips to New Haven just to eat the pizza. You'll note that even the Wikipedia article about New Haven, Connecticut mentions Pepe's right at the top as one of the things the city is famous for. Dr.frog 22:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

This is Wikipedia, not an encyclopedia. Having said that, Calvin Trillin first mentions Pepe's in his 1960s novel The Tummy Trilogy. He mentions New Haven Connecticut being Pizza's Holy City with Pepe's being one of the best. Having been immortalized in literature surely seals it's fate on the pages of Wikipedia. Jsderwin 09:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Here are more examples of books (found on Google) that mention Pepe's. Some are historical, some biographical, some fiction, some about food, one is a tourist guide.

I do not object to the inclusion of this pizzeria in Wikipedia but there is no need to include meaningless factoids such as that they serve wine by the glass. Discussing the merits of their pizza, history of the establishment is in bounds, discussion of their other menu offerings is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.29.190.95 (talk) 17:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Great! Let's also remove the Big Mac off the McDonald's page (heck, let's get rid of McDonald's products page altogether), that way we can discuss the restaurants properly in terms of their history. [/sarcasm] Markvs88 (talk) 17:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I hope people less dense than yourself will see the merit in my comment. I state rather clearly that inclusion of comments regarding this pizzaria, it's history and it's well known pizza is valid. However, factiods such as that they serve wine by the glass is not valid since their beverage portion size is not something to which it is widely known. Similarly, the fact they serve a nice salad is not valid unless you can show that people come from far and wide just to have one (which if true, makes this absence a sizable omission). Talk about the pizza, leave out everything else. With this in mind, I think it's satisfactory for an article about McDonalds to talk about it's hamburgers, since it is known the world over for it's Big Macs, however, minutia such as the number of ruffles in their napkins should be left out. The article as it currently stands reads like a plug for the restaurant, it should not.

Wake me up when you feel like contributing to the article. If I want to see meaningless criticism, I can go turn on C-SPAN. Markvs88 (talk) 02:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I would contribute to this article by making it sound less like the owners of Pepe's are editing Wikipedia. This is something I thought you would be interested in. I am wrong.

Pizza isn't the only thing available at this restaurant, so your comments are invalid. - Denimadept (talk) 04:48, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Calling this pizzeria a restaurant doesn't change a thing. Whatever you want to call this establishment, it is famous for it's pizza, not it's salad or anything else. Otherwise, why not just cite it's entire menu offering? These other items are not what put Pepe's on the map.

We used to. The main thing which puts Pepe's on the map is the white clam pizza. Should we only discuss that, or are we allowed to provide a more complete article? - Denimadept (talk) 20:11, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

There's no bright line here. Like a lot of things, you only know you've gone too far when you've gone too far. For me, telling me that wine is sold by the glass is one of the things that suggests that this article had crossed a line - not only is this information irrelevant, it's not even unique to this restaurant! Perhaps things are different in your part of the country but in my experience, every restaurant or bar that sells wine, sells it by the glass. I am all for having complete coverage, but in my opinion, this article reads like its written by someone who loves Pepe's Pizza rather than someone who wants to inform others about Pepe's Pizza. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.102.180 (talk) 07:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I can think of quite a few establishments that lack a liquor licsense, and do not understand why there is a desire to remove valid information about a topic. Okay, maybe the White Clam Pie is the Big Mac of Pepe's. Should we then get rid of McDonalds selling soda/shakes? Of course not. Look at any B or better rated article and it's obvious that you want to exhaustively comment on a subject (w/o uncited trivia). I wouldn't want to discuss (say) where Pepe's gets their clams from (if we even could find out) but I'd say anything they sell or use to make their product is well within bounds. Markvs88 (talk) 14:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I find this article trivial therefore non encyclopedic. One of the argument supporting its encyclopedic importance was the fact that it was Reagan's favorite pizzeria: would you make all the places were he ate Wikipedia entries?--Gciriani (talk) 21:03, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

I suppose we're lucky that your opinion doesn't rule here. Most of the articles would disappear. If you want to contribute, do so. If you just want to complain, feel free to go away. - Denimadept (talk) 22:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

It seems though that I'm in good company to think that this article is non encyclopedic, and it reads as a promotional article. And these people seem to be much more acquainted with the spirit of Wikipedia than you and me.--Gciriani (talk) 20:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Good company? Barring one anonymous poster in 2010, those posts are from 3 years ago! Go compare the article today vs. the January 2007 version and then say it's not been improved and cited. Markvs88 (talk) 20:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Markvs88, cool down. He's acting like a troll. Don't get so upset, okay? - Denimadept (talk) 21:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I didn't mean that to look so terse, sorry! Markvs88 (talk) 22:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

It's really not that important. The issue has been discussed at various times, on various pages covering various topics. He doesn't have to like this one. I don't care. As an inclusionist, I want to include, not lose perfectly good articles because trolls or others don't like something. If he really wants to have fun, I'll look for articles he's worked on, such as articles on various kinds of electrical stimulation, declare them dangerous and deletable, and watch HIS fireworks. But I wouldn't do that. It'd be petty. Instead, I've begun ignoring him as irrelevant. - Denimadept (talk) 22:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Verifiability of New-Haven style being different from Napoletana and invented by Pepe

If Pepe intended his pizza to be different from Napoletana, how come he designated the pizzeria "Napoletana"? He is not even from Naples, as he was born in a different province.--Gciriani (talk) 22:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I suggest you do some research and get back to us on that then! Markvs88 (talk) 01:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

It's in the article on Pepe's: Frank_Pepe_Pizzeria_Napoletana#Frank_Pepe was born in Maiori. If you go to the article on Maiori it says it right there that it is in the province of Salerno; if you don't trust the Wikipedia article on Maiori, you can go to the town's own web site http://www1.comune.maiori.sa.it/default.php?pagina=inc/vis_sezione.php&id_sezione=1--Gciriani (talk) 19:04, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

And this is relevant how? - Denimadept (talk) 19:34, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

It's an indirect proof that he thought his pizza was Napoletana.--Gciriani (talk) 02:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Nope, as in the article, he didn't learn to make pizza where he was born. It just shows you've not actually read the relevant articles. We're done here. - Denimadept (talk) 16:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I did not write that he learned to make pizza where he was born. What I mean is that when he named his pizzeria Napoletana, he knew very well what that adjective meant, and that's the food he meant to sell.--Gciriani (talk) 14:30, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Pepe's allergies

I noticed that this Wikipedia article states, "Frank Pepe was allergic to tomatoes and cheese thus the inspiration for his white clam pie," and provides a New York Times citation stating that he was allergic to tomatoes and cheese, (though it does not directly state that this provided the inspiration for the white clam, I think it is reasonably inferred from the NYT sentence).

However, the Wikipedia article I came in from, New Haven-style pizza, states, "Later on, Pepe invented the "white clam pie" - although not due to allergies to tomatoes and mozzarella, a common misconception." The restaurant's own website states, "Frank Pepe did not have an allergy to cheese and tomatoes and the white clam pizza's evolution should not be attributed to this false malady."

Is there a way the two Wikipedia pages can be made to be in agreement, whether they both go one way or the other (I have no knowledge of a superior authoritative source for either), or that both say that there are conflicting reports as to whether it was due to allergies? MoCellMan (talk) 21:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I see that the allergy mention has disappeared from the New Haven-style pizza entry, so no more conflict. MoCellMan (talk) 20:03, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

The Original Tomato Pie

Before this edit, the Restaurant history section stated that the original two varieties were the "plain" and the "marinara." According to the Frank Pepe website history page, however, the two original pies were the tomato pie (tomatoes, grated cheese, garlic, oregano, olive oil), and the second had the same toppings with the addition of anchovy. 

I added a source for this: http://www.pepespizzeria.com/?page=history As well as changing the hyperlink on anchovy to redirect to "Anchovies as food." Posner.c (talk) 15:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
