New Haven, Connecticut-based Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has released its winter special, the Original Tomato Pie — Frank's Way, paying homage to founder Frank Pepe.

The pie is a variation of the brand's popular Original Tomato Pie, which features crushed Italian tomatoes, grated Pecorino Romano and olive oil. However, the winter special features the added touch of garlic, paying homage to the way Frank first crafted the pie in 1925.

"Launching this pie, especially in our 100th anniversary year, is yet another way to pay homage to where — and how — it all began," Francis Rosselli, grandson of Frank Pepe and co-owner of Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, said in the press release. "Carrying the legacy my grandpop built a century ago is the honor of a lifetime."

The pie is available from now through Feb. 2026.
