Frank Pepe Pizzeria, Yonkers

What Makes It Good: Touted as “America’s Best Pizza” by The Daily Meal, one of the “Incredible American Pizza Joints You Need to Eat in Before You Die” from Culture Trip, and featured as a “Constitution State Staple” as seen on the Food Network, Pepe’s remains true to its concept -- deeply rooted in family and in history.

Its coal-fired Neapolitan style pizzas are beloved from here to New Haven and still use the same family recipes that patriarch Frank Pepe grew up with in his town of Maiori, on the Amalfi coast of Italy. Folks drive out of their way for the pizzeria's crisp, chewy crust, yearly taste-tested Italian tomatoes that go into their sauce, and the highest quality toppings. The white clam is a perennial favorite.
