Peppino's Pizzeria

Delicious thin (Neapolitan)or thick crust (Sicilian) pizza. Large portions with plentiful toppings. Order at counter and grab it when it’s done. Definitely will Be back. Had the Peppino’s pizza and love it!

I recently stopped by Peppino’s Pizzeria in Athens and had a solid, laid-back meal there. The place feels comfortable and unpretentious — simple setup, easy vibe, and just what you’d want when you’re in the mood for something casual and satisfying. What stood out was the friendly, down-to-earth service. Even when there were a fair number of people, staff managed things smoothly: ordering, getting food out — everything felt straightforward, without fuss. For what you pay and what you get, Peppino’s feels like good value. It’s the kind of spot where you don’t expect fine dining — you expect honest food, a relaxed atmosphere, and enough to leave you content. It’s not fancy — and I wouldn’t pick it for a special night out or fancy date — but for a low-key meal, some comfort food, or a no-pr

Ok, this is REAL NY PIZZA. Best pizza I’ve ever had in the state of Georgia. I’m from NY/NJ and this mom and pop is the real deal. Well worth the short drive out of downtown. The decor is authentic nostalgic 1980s!!! A little tacky, old school, casual atmosphere. Only thing missing is Pac-man machine in the corner. Come give it a try, no matter where you hail from, you will NOT regret it!!!!

The pizza was very good, and the large Meat Lovers was enormous, worth it, considering it was $36. The sausage had a nice kick to it with great flavor. The interior is quaint and somewhere I’d enjoy sitting next time.

We were driving by and decided to stop in for a quick bite and let me tell you, the smells were amazing. I was so excited when we got the chicken Parmesan, but, it wasn’t as exciting as I’d hoped. The chicken was kind of chewy and tasted like it had been sitting in a cold place for a while—definitely not as fresh as I’d sniffed out. The staff was incredible, friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was the most cleaned including the bathroom. The cheese was good though, and I the sauce was “meh” about it, so I’m guessing they weren’t super impressed either. I would try the pizza.
