Peppino's Pizzeria

Well Athenians, I can't believe what I just encountered. I just witness the meltdown of the owner. A customer inquiring about the price of a pizza with various toppings, was apparently too much for the owner. The owner ( everyone knows the older gentleman), went completely off. I felt sorry for the young man. The owner berated him, told him to go to Pappa John, or Domino's. This because he inquired about price?There is a reason why they are always looking to hire. I also witness this same behavior with his wife. This was the final straw for me. To the owners if you no longer appreciate our business, then please leave. No one should have to witness you berating all ethic and cultural racial groups ( No race was spared). We all deserve better, no matter the race. If you no longer appreciate our business, then leave !!Let the door hit you where the good Lord split you 👍. I will no longer patronize this business, unless I see a sign under new management.

The tea was good! And the building was nice. Initially I was disappointed because I wanted a couple of pizza slices without tomato sauce. I wanted a white sauce. Or maybe a pesto base. But they don't have anything other than tomato base when buy slices. You have to order a whole pizza to get a non tomato base.. Okay.. So plan B, since I don't want a whole pizza. I converted to ordering manicotti. That was actually the worst manicotti I have ever had in my entire life! The inside was dry and crumbly. The manicotti was baked so much that it was burned and stuck to the little tin pan that it was served it in. I couldn't cut through the noodle with a knife! I feel manicotti traumatized. Seriously, I was recently at another Italian restaurant and couldn't bring myself to order the manicotti! I know, that's a personal problem, so back to my review. The other issue was that their salad bar isn't really a salad bar. It's lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, beets, and onions. They give you a small styrofoam bowl to make your salad in. I basically ended up with a small bowl of iceberg lettuce with beets on it. My husband's Stromboli wasn't even really a stromboli. It was like a pizza dough bowl full of stuff. He said the sausage that was supposed to be in there tasted more like crumbled ground beef. So, my husband didn't really enjoy his meal either. It wasn't what he has encountered as a stromboli anywhere else. My husband and I drove completely across town to try out this restaurant. We are trying to find the perfect pizza place around town, but this is not it for us! Depending on what you like, you might like this place. I'd personally recommend sticking with the pizza in the tea! It's a really well rated place otherwise, and I don't often leave negative reviews. However, since both myself and my husband had issues, we really feel like people might like to know the tea is great! And quite possibly the pizza is too. The other stuff.. not so much. Maybe we just hit them on a really bad day. But, whatever the case, we will not be back.

Fresh ingredients, everything made from scratch, and the marinara sauce tastes so bomb! I always get the meatlovers. The meat is sooo good! The thin crust soaks up the grease wonderfully and its the perfect melt in your mouth texture ...my mouth waters every time I think of their pizza! I use to eat here growing up with my family. It's been like 10 yrs since I've been. I went last week and nothing is changed. Still have real Italian speaking guys cooking. The pizzas are HUGE and they have all diff sizes I always get the 18in. Go here if u want some real authentic Sicilian pizza...u won't be disappointed I promise!
