The food here in general is great, but I'll agree on the pizza. There are very few places that are above average - Sicilia, Vivaldi's, Providence Coal Fired, and of course the Frank Pepe's location in Warwick are the ones that come to mind. Then again I moved up here from the New Haven area, so my standards are high.

For whatever reason, I just can’t get into Pepe’s. As a native, do you think the other classic NH places (Sally’s, Modern etc) are better? I’ve been to the original Pepe’s twice and came out thinking I had just eaten a burnt saltine cracker with cheese. Just curious if it’s not my cup of tea or if Pepe’s is overrated compared to the others.

I personally preferr Sally's out of that trio. I like a little char on the crust but Pepe's does tend to take it too far.

Gotcha! Next time I'm in New Haven (rare) I'll have to give Sally's a try

So you haven’t had Fellini’s, Nice Slice or Al Forno? Pasquale’s in North Kingston? Figured as much after your comments. Not trying to be a dick, just… You really don’t have a worthwhile opinion if you haven’t at least had grilled pizza at Al Forno.
