Quite a few of us told you Pepe's has been going south for a while.

I can see them expanding into Florida, but a random mall in Maryland? That surprised me

Lol, woosh. He means they're crap now that they franchised. Not the same pizza, barely the same people, and certainly not what the original owner had in mind...

lol, I read the italicized part again. So it's not the same as experiencing the original Pepe's, but it's definitely not "crap" like Sbarro or Dominoes.

The main difference I saw in the menu was that the chain Pepe's use canned, not fresh clams in their pizzas.

Agreed. It's only the original New Haven location for me. I don't even bother with the pop ups here in CT. It's just not the same.
