Talk:Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

[edit] Verifiability of being First pizza restaurant in US

What do we have to support this claim? (i.e. Is it verifiable?) RJFJR 17:36, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

It's not. Pepe's was at best, the 5th pizzeria in the US. Lombardi's (NYC), Joe's Tomatoe Pies (Trenton), Papa's Tomatoe Pies (trenton), and Tottono's (Coney Island) were all before. Here's a link for a Pizza timeline. Pepes comes in 5th on his list opening 20 years after Lombardi's. [1].Coumarin 18:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White pies

I've gone to Sally's, Modern Apizza, and Pepe's, and I have not once asked for tomato sauce yet recieve it all the time. Where does this statement come from?

In New Haven the following terms are used: Plain Pizza - Tomato sauce and no cheese White Pizza - Cheese and no tomato sauce Cheese Pizza - Tomato sauce and cheese

[edit] advert

Reads like an advertisement from start to finish. Utterly unencyclopedic. wikipediatrix 21:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Believe it or not, it is an important New Haven institution, as you can verify by reading the references. Everything is a fact as I can tell. The only statement I could not verify is that "the crust is chewier at Pepe's", which is of course too subjective. Itub 00:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Almost everything in the last two paragraphs is still subjective. It's not enough to make a Wikipedia article make a POV statement and then cite a source. You need to rewrite it so that it says the source is the one saying these things. And there's no need to repost the entire AfD on this page, a link would suffice.
