Frank Pepe Pizzeria Burlington

For lovers of Frank Pepe Pizzeria who can't make the trek to Chestnut Hill too often there is some good news:  a Burlington Mall outpost of the iconic pizzeria opens today.

We had an invite to attend a preview over the weekend and can report that, yes, it is the same excellent quality product as any other location.  And it IS excellent.  We went with a split of sausage and spinach on one side and meatball and fresh garlic on the other.  Perfect, as usual.

Our server, Robin.

We were invited as media guests for this preview with no promise of any editorial consideration.

Frank Pepe's Pizza

We were lucky enough to be invited to Frank Pepe's Pizzeria in Chestnut Hill a few days before it opened for a media preview.  Lucky for us because the lines have been out the door with a typical one hour wait to get in ever since.  Is it worth it?  Absolutely!  In fact, I have not seen one review or post that says it is anything less than great.

Maybe it's that coal-fired oven built brick by brick to exact specifications for a virtual duplicate of the original in Connecticut.  Just to be certain, however, we went on our own to visit their outpost at Mohegan Sun on our recent weekend there.  Yes, it was just as good.  Perfect crust and pizzas loaded with fresh ingredients.  So far we have tried the classic White Clam Pizza (we added bacon to ours) which has made them famous.  Excellent. Then we tried the Spinach, Mushroom and Gorgonzola (pictured) which was every bit as good.  Honestly, no matter what you get we don't think that you could go wrong.
