Pepi’s Pizza

I’m not a huge fan of the pizza, it is great but the sauce is a little too much for me the next day. apparently the more authentic the pizza, the worst heartburn I get: p their munchie dub is by far my fav!
It was the late night dinner of choice for a long time

I heard good things about this place so I decided to finally try it.
The pizza slice I got was so disappointing.
The crust was okay; it was crispy and soft.
The baker just poured the toppings on top of the crust; and these toppings fell off when I got back to work to eat. Ewww. The slice was not baked long enough.

One slice of pizza costs $ 3.95 for cheese and add $ 0.5 for extra topping plus taxes.
Parking is available next to the restaurant.

We are relatively new to Waterloo, although we’ve been visiting for many years, we have just moved into the area. We decided on delivery tonight and had heard that Pepe’s was the king of pizza in town. Well, it is and it was worth it. I ordered two large three toppings, bacon, mushroom and onion and wow did it come loaded. When I picked up the two boxes from the delivery man, I was shocked at the weight. It is a lot of bang for the buck and the best part is the crust. Crunchy, cooked and delicious. And, unlike most pizzas, not greasy. I ordered two larges, a mistake, for three people and we didn’t even start the second. Oh well, that will be lunch for the next day or two.
We will definitely be ordering from Pepe’s again… and again.

I’d have to agree with Daniel L. S review. The crust is only good if you enjoy precooked crumbly, crispy, hard crust. If you are looking for a chewy, fluffy, bread crust, this is not gonna deliver. The redeeming quality of this place is the toppings.

They are generous with their toppings but probably one of the few redeeming qualities of the pizza from this place. It’d be better if they made an effort to make a balanced pizza with the right amount of ingredients rather than just pouring them on the dough and hoping you really like your toppings.
Also, the staff don’t seem like they really care about the food that they make…

Delicious pizza once again! The sauce is a different, sweet taste. The crust is light and crispy. The toppings were again loaded on top! Unfortunately, the pizza wasn’t very hot. We also tried the wings for the first time: they have a good seasoning, but they were soggy.

Not good at all.
All of the toppings are loaded onto a bland, pre-​baked crust and then thrown into an oven to quickly heat (but not bake) it all. I try not to be so severe to a business, and I’ve tried this place several times now, but their food here just doesn’t cut it.
–1 for the bad dough
–1 for the canned mushrooms
–1 for the diced, heated, uncooked peppers and onions on top of the dough.

This pizza place is excellent in some things and awful in others. If there was a little bit more consistency in the food and service I received, it would’ve been a strong 4 star.
The ambience of this place is obviously not the most modern, however for a place that has been in service for almost 50 years, the upkeep is quite decent. The tables are minimal, but good enough as many customers go for take-​out anyway. However, this means that the employees don’t take care of their tables much, as there was only one table which was relatively clean enough to dine on.
I ordered a custom made slice with ham, mushrooms, and onions. One of the attractions for this place is the custom made slices, as they have a lot of different toppings for you to choose at reasonable prices. Average preparation time for this place is about 10 minutes, which I suppose is average for most pizza joints. They give you a fork and a knife to eat the pizza, which shows they care about cleanliness and don’t want your hands to be dirty.
The ham, mushrooms, and onions tasted very good; you can tell the ingredients were freshly picked, and I was told they use local ingredients; a bonus. However, the crust was not good. It was too burnt, and when I chew it immediately smashes to smithereens. Definitely not what I wanted from my pizza.
I also ordered a drink, which to my surprise, came from a vending machine you normally see in shopping malls or other public places.
The service overall was average. I didn’t like the fact the tables were dirty when I entered, but they did eventually clean them up when my pizza slice was delivered. The employees seem to be having a good time, but they were quite forgetful in some people’s orders (they had to clarify my order once, and another person’s order twice). As a casual pizza eater, I don’t see myself coming back in the near future, but don’t count this place out; it does qualify as a decent place for local residents.

This is a pretty cute pizza joint but not that big. The place is generally simple, warm interior with a pop machine inside. The staff here is friendly and quick.
Pepi’s offers salads, wings, subs and of course, pizza! They don’t have a variety of pizza’s but you can defiantly create your own. Custom slices are also available for dine-​in or take-​out. Pizza prices are good–
Small, 4 slices ($ 6.95)
Medium, 8 slices ($ 11.75)
Large, 12 slices ($ 14.25)
Party, 25 slices ($ 21.95)
additional toppings is extra.
My small group and I always get the meat lover’s party size (yes, I know, we’re pigs!). The pizza is done rather quickly, the ingredients are fresh and they have tons of big pieces of meat! The pizza is good; they give you a good amount of everything, nothing too special though. The ladies bring over our pizza to the table with plates and chili flakes. Unfortunately, the place isn’t too clean; there is always something on the table or on the floor. Also, once in a while they overcook the pizza a little too much.
Also, they have free parking in the lot right next to their place.

Want pizza at 3am in this city? This place is open until 4am (even on Sundays, last I checked). The bacon topping and the cheeses they use are really good. Don’t recommend the mushrooms (tinned?) as a topping.
Much better than any franchise pizza in this city!
The pizza bases are really good too…
