The better of the two

Agree that Sally's might be a bit better, but the original Pepe's got a place in my heart as the first apizza pie I tried.

That said, hands down Modern for me nowadays amongst the big three.

I grew up close to New Haven and we would always try Sally's first but they didn't open until 7:30 and the line was already too long most nights. So, we'd go earlier to Pepe's, which had two buildings serving the same apizza. Or "Ah-Beetz" as my Italian mother called it. Eventually, when I moved to Boston some 35 years ago and would go back to visit family, we would go to Pepe's. I'd love to have Sally's again, it's been years. One of the lovely things about Sally's was to see Sally himself working the kitchen, invariably stirring a huge pot of sauce and his wife waited tables. Great memories of that place.
Oh and in my educated opinion, the Watertown Pepe's does a much better job than Chestnut Hill. CH can't seem to get the crust thin enough.

Who cares.

It’s kool aid pizza. You’ve been told it’s the best, so it must be the best. You picked one over the other one and you’ll take your decision to the grave. There’s plenty of good pizza around if you look for it.

People pick their brand and stick to it and defend it irresponsibly.

Also, when these iconic places branch out and expand, it’s never as good as the original, as even the most stalwart supporters might say, while still believing it’s the best no matter what.

I don’t wonder why.

Just need Modern Apizza to open up here and we'll have the trifecta

Lived in CT for a few years as a kid. My Dad would often bring home Pepe's for Friday's dinner. Sometimes we'd go into New Haven for dinner at Pepe's. Wonderful memories.

My brother now lives in CT and when we get together at his place, we sometimes go to Pepe's. We're a 4 generation Pepe family. We always regale the young ones with family stories.

Strongly recommend every family have spot to visit together over the generations. Creating memories is a wonderful thing.
