Pepe's Pizzeria to open in Danbury?

Word on twitter is that the World's Famous Pepe's Pizzeria of New Haven is set to open a locale in Danbury.

Now, this is a rumor and I'm trying my best to get verification as quickly as possible but if it's true, it would be a great as Pepe's has the BEST pizza in the area HANDS DOWN.

UPDATE: Received one confirmation of the opening of a place in Danbury but haven't heard back from management at Pepe's yet...

UPDATE 2: Received more reports that Pepe's is opening a new locale in Danbury. Reports include plans from Pepe's that's been submitted to the permit's office at City Hall. The location of the place will be at 59-67 Federal Road.



Still waiting on confirmation from management.

UPDATE 3 (06.02.10):Here's what the News-Times has to say.

Owners of the popular New Haven pizzeria have submitted plans with the city to open a Frank Pepe Pizzeria on Federal Road near the Harley-Davidson store.

The plans call for a restaurant with enough seating for nearly 70 customers. The application still needs to be reviewed by building officials.

Charles Troccolo, the owner of the building, said he believes the pizzeria could be very successful at the location, which is near Interstate 84. He declined to comment on when the restaurant might open its doors.
