Original Clam Pie- medium $31.50 with tax :/
Peter Z.

I first went to Frank Pepe when I lived in New York and work traveled in New York, Massachusetts in Connecticut for almost a decade. I had heard this was one of the first pizzerias in the United States and legendary- this 100 year-old pizzeria based out of New Haven Connecticut uses a 100 year-old coal fired oven to make their pizzas. Coal fired oven pizza tastes different- it's incredible. I think it blows Anthony's coal fired away. They are famous for their clam pizza, which is a white pizza made with fresh clams from the Connecticut shore. I was apprehensive to try it for the first time, as clams on a pizza sounds weird! But it was one of the best pies I've ever had. Excellent pizza is very difficult to find in South Florida, at least it has been for almost the last decade. When I heard that Frank Pepe opened in the Plantation Walk a year or so ago, I was incredibly excited and have wanted to visit for quite some time. I finally got there and ordered a clam pie for old time sake. The new franchise location is big, loud and has an originally built looking Coal fired oven. The pizza was fantastic as I remembered from Connecticut . While they are a little expensive, they are still some of the best pies available in Broward. While the clams weren't as fresh as the ones that the original location offered being so close to the ocean, they were very good . I'm looking forward to going back to try a few other pies. There is plenty of inside seating, and they also have a nice patio outside. While there is no bar, they do have a pretty simple beer and wine menu. Parking in plantation walk can be a little difficult, especially during prime hours-that's the only issue I had with the Location. I'm looking forward to going back and sampling more of these excellent coal fired pizzas !

Chicken Diavalo pie. Medium. Had to have a slice immediately.

I love Frank Pepe's! Flavorful, crispy pizza with char from the brick oven. Their Chicken Diavolo is my favorite. Packed with flavor and the Gorgonzola adds such a delicious tang. The grilled onions are so good and overall it's just a great pizza. A bit heavy so it will fill you up.

Burnt bitter cinders. The oven wasn't scraped before putting these pies in. It was all over my pizzas.

I couldn't wait to get there and we ordered the three pie deal. Got the pizza, looked amazing until i tasted all the cinders under the pies. I love New Haven pizza. I couldn't wait to taste the charred crust. But no one scraped the oven and brushed it out before they put the pies in. All I did while at the table was pick it off and try to wipe it off with a napkin. The black cinders were all over my table, my hands and in my dish. Never encountered this here at all. Disappointed, was really looking forward to it.

First off, I love the location of this place. It's very family oriented and on the outside it feels like you're in a mall. So it's a great place to bring the little kids to be outdoors. Especially in the winter time it's an awesome place to walk to digest the food. The restaurant is pretty nice and modern on the inside. You can tell they take good care of this place and that the restaurant is new. My waitress was very kind and extremely attentive. I knew exactly what I wanted. I ordered cheese pizza And a cup of water. I kept it pretty simple. The food arrived less than 10 minutes later. I was amazed at how fast the food came out. The food was extremely hot. So I had to start off with a fork and knife. But the first thing I noticed is that the cross was so delicious and chart. That's actually how I like it. You can really taste the flavor and the coal in it. The quality is so good and even the condiments like the Parmesan are made with good quality. You can tell that the Parmesan Condiment isn't some dried up garbage that they serve at some of these other places. The pizza was delicious and I'm definitely going to come back. I told my wife about this place and I'm pretty sure we will be here the next month or after.

Nice, tossed Italian salad that 2 or 3 can splt. But like the Caesar, one container of dressing is NOT enough! Ask for two!
Mark C.

This was a mixed experience, and the first and LAST time I use Uber Eats! There's just NO quality control when you depend on a third-party delivery service! We ordered The Special, large. The pizza toppings, sauce and cheese were great. But the crust was burned black in too many places. Had I dined-in or picked it up myself, I would have checked and sent it back. The Caesar and Chopped Italian salads were generous and good, but they should have included TWO dressings for each not just one. It was too dry and tasteless. But I believe in SECOND chances, so when I go back I will pick up the order myself (and double-check it). Lessons learned!!!!

Half and half large tomato pie and bacon onion.
Karen P.

The crust and flavor was really good. I also had a buratta salad. Very good. We ordered a tomato pie which had a white sauce. Not my favorite but got some sauce on the side. I prefer red sauce the other half was bacon and onion. Could not find any bacon. Crust was the best part. Good ambiance and service too. Got $10 off for signing up for the app.

Monica R.

This pizzeria it's great for a random date night within the week . We wanted to explore a bit more of what plantation had to offer and try new restaurants, and finding out this oven fire pizza was the best ! Pizza was fresh and delicious, wish they had more options like for appetizers like calamari or even garlic bread , but the only thing available was pizza and salad . The toppings are limited so makes it a bit hard for younger people with toppings . Pizza was good but limited toppings and they didn't have any appetizers options . Hopefully there's some updates to the menu !

Andrea K.

My boyfriend dragged me in after insisting this is one of the best new pizza spots and it didn't disappoint! The pizzas are done very well - good amount of cheese and sauce, not too floppy and nice and charred. We opted for a classic cheese! We also tried the salad which was nice and refreshing. Prices are reasonable! The waiter was friendly and attentive and the service overall was quick! Great place for a quick lunch (there's a lunch special) or a dinner!

Small 12"  Tomato pie with mozzarella

I was excited to try frank Pepe's after seeing it online. Service brought down the experience for me. After waiting for a bit I was informed my ticket was lost then ended up waiting about an hour total. It was 2pm with about 2 other tables occupied, luckily I wad alone so I didn't make it a big deal. I ordered a Coca Cola and was given a bottle only to find out by overhearing my waitress tell another table they ran out of Coca Cola but there were other options if they didn't want the bottle. Kind of bothered me I didn't get the same courtesy. Pizza was solid, if you like a sweet sauce and charred crust this is the spot for you. I just wouldn't drive out of my way for it and probably would come back unless I was with others who really wanted to try it. $21 after tax and tip for a small cheese and a bottled coke. If there is a next time I'd probably get the tomato pie without the mozzarella. Just made it soggy towards the half way mark.

Potato pizza
Tricia K.

Wow! The potato pizza was amazing! I can't wait to go back! This is FAR from my house but the pizza was worth the drive!!

Quattro Formaggio
Gladys S.

Frank Pepe is one of those places that you come across Instagram and you say, I need to try it. Went on a Sunday afternoon to try some pizzas with family. The large pie is really big, bigger than your traditional large. We had a lot of leftovers. Their pizza is good but I expected it to be even better because of all the hype. My favorite was the four cheese.

Laher U.

Best pizza in South Florida. I've been to the original location in New Haven and while this doesn't quite compare, it's still very good. Service is quick and constant. The pizza is perfectly charred and the cheese is on point. 8.5/10 on the Portnoy scale!

Burnt
Andreas F.

Too burnt for us. We got 4 pies and all 4 were way over done. I understand they usually have a bit of black on the side but this was way over done. If the pizza were not burned it would have been amazing as the pepperoni was great and the sauce too. Shame that they burned it

Lastly we split a large Meatza pizza. Best thing about that one was the sausages. Full of flavor! We were originally gunna get a deep dish but they told us it takes an hour to make and we were really hungry so we opted not to, but they told us that you can call in advance!

They are hearty and servings are big enough to be shared (if y'alls want). The place is classic looking and the decore is very nice and smartly done and very clean.... I always judge by washrooms. Their pizza are great and pastas are really fresh made. The wine is my favorite. They have deep reds, fruity reds, whites and my absolute favorite the moscato it is fruity with a hint of pear and / or probably peach. I just love it always take a bottle with me when I leave... so yummmm... Ok so there you have it, great little restaurant hidden away in plantation which is great because as they say the bigger a restaurant is, the less quality you get. This is a mom and pop place and they take pride in their food and care of their customers. As I always say: "Try it first and decide for yourself, you'll never know unless you do" Be safe - peace out.

The food is fantastic across the board, but there are a few things that really stand out. The Corleone Pizza is probably the best pizza in town -- absolutely incredible. The wings are fantastic as well, and the Pistachio Spaghetti is a bit of a sleeper that deserves way more attention. It's excellent. And if you're a fan of Old Fashioneds like I am, you HAVE to try their Smoked Old Fashioned. It's outstanding. Even better, on Thursdays it's only $10, which is an incredible deal. The management and staff also deserve a lot of credit. The service is consistently quick and attentive, which makes a big difference. One of our favorite servers is Marco (with a K) -- he's fantastic and always makes the experience even better. Honestly, the only negative thing I can say is that they don't have a rewards program. We're there so often that I feel like I should have earned a free meal by now! Overall, fantastic restaurant, great food, great management, and great people. We absolutely recommend it -- plus, plus, plus! We'll definitely keep coming back.

Parking was very easy to find and there is a nice amount of signage to find this place without getting lost at all. The interior was very nice and decked out in New York items. I loved that the TV they had in the place was playing old style teenage mutant ninja turtles episodes because who else loves pizza more then them (and me). The tables were nicely spaced out and there was a few other people waiting for their orders so it was a little busy. I did have to wait longer then expected and got asked multiple times what I was there for so the communication amongst them was a little rough but all of them were very friendly. I decided to get a pizza and garlic knots. Their 6 garlic knots are about $7 dollars. They were very good but I do wish they had a little more oil on them because they were a little dry to me. The pizza was very delicious! A 12 inch pizza was $17 for a plain cheese. The cheese was melted wonderfully and the crust had a nice crunch to it. my only thing was I am not a fan of sweet sauce and this pizza has that flavor to it. it was good but I don't think I would order a pizza from here again, personally. It is also a thin crust style, again which I am not a fan of, but was tasty nonetheless.

Once water comes our server comes over and again "Are you ready?" She wanted us to order everything but we had only selected drinks and apps. Those are delivered the short rib arancini and some of the imported Italian beers. Everything is great, so we order our entrees, two ravioli dishes. Before the dinner comes, the server's assistant comes and picked up my appetizer plate that still had food on it without asking so told him I was still eating. So odd. Then when the entree comes, he tried to take it again as I was taking a bite off the plate with my fork! Again, no thank you I'm still eating that. Towards the end of our meal, we still have half our second round of beers and a few ravioli on our plates. The server this time picked up my plate with my food still on it and tried to take it away and I had to say again I'm still eating, thank you. I understand when it's busy and you're trying to flip tables but I've never been to a restaurant where multiple staff try to take my food away while I'm still eating it. For a relatively nice atmosphere and more than moderate price point I would expect more polite service and common sense to ask if you're done eating something and maybe need a box. It's a shame because the first time here, the service was 5/5 and we loved it. The weird service soured the night and makes me think twice about returning even though the food is great.
