NEW HAVEN, Conn. — TV star Steve Schirripa was spotted at Frank Pepe's Pizza on Friday for some New Haven-style apizza.

The "Blue Bloods" actor went to Pepe's with his family and got a picture with one of the staff members, and it was shared on the pizzeria's social media page.

Turns out, he's becoming a regular, and the staff "loves how nice they are," a Frank Pepe's manager told FOX61 on Saturday.

Over 1,000 fans of New Haven apizza and Schirripa "liked" or "loved" Pepe's post.

"We need to make him an honorary New Haven kid!" one user said.

"Famous people showing up at Pepe's. Love it." another said.
