Part 6/7:
Dessert: Cannoli Pie Experience
To finish the meal, UA opted for the cannoli pie for dessert. Although the pie captured the essence of traditional cannoli filling, UA felt it lacked the necessary crunch of a proper cannoli shell, leading to an overwhelming sweetness. Though delicious in its own right, UA noted that the dessert could benefit from additional texture.
Final Thoughts: Worth the Hype?
After enjoying his meal, UA shared his concluding thoughts outside the bustling Frank Pepe. The restaurant's popularity was evident, with lines forming out the door by noon. He acknowledged that while preferences for New York-style pizza might overshadow the New Haven style for some, Frank Pepe certainly delivers a noteworthy experience rich in history and flavor.
