Connecticut Realtors out to lunch

I’m not much of a gambler but I can appreciate our local casinos for the entertainment and restaurants they offer. Although I live in Ledyard, I find my favorite casino restaurants are at the Mohegan Sun.

“The Original Frank Pepe Pizzeria”  is located away from the smoke and hubbub of the main casino. It's menu is pretty simple.  It offers “tomato pies” made to order. You can also order a salad and drinks but nothing more. You go to Pepe’s for the pizza, cooked in a coal fired oven, and made with perfect tomato sauce, fresh ingredients, and thin and crispy crust. I’ve heard the white clam pizza is excellent. I wouldn't know because I just don't like the idea of clams on my pizza.

The service was quick and friendly. A medium mozzarella pizza (more than enough for two) is $13. I added a few extras like pepperoni and mushrooms on my half for a few more dollars. It was all very good. Not necessarily great. I think I like Valentino’s in Ledyard a bit better but I’d have to try Pepe’s again to be sure.
