Pepe's Italian Restaurant

This place was my hope, but now I just can’t. The first pizza picture is what I got, the second is what they use to give, and for the price you think you would ALWAYS get the better of the two. The girl who picked up the phone when I complained was absolutely rude, and an lacking in intelligence. When I said there is no cheese on the pizza she told me “there’s no cheese on a margarita pizza anyway, there’s only fresh mozzarella balls.” WHAT?!?! She also told me the manager would call me back. This was two weeks ago. After the call, I received devastating news about my family and had to leave town and realize today that they never called me back. Look at the first picture of the pizza - it’s like a flat, pathetic excuse especially for the price, and they don’t care about customer service either.

The pasta was some of the best I’ve ever had as well as the antipasto however everything else was not the best. The pizza did not taste good and wasn’t anything special (we got half cheese half pepperoni but they came out all pepperoni) and we didn’t complain about it because the service wasn’t the best. The hostess was nice and let us sit but supposedly the kitchen closes at 930 and closed in the middle of the time we were sitting so we got dinner but when we ordered dessert we were told the kitchen was closed which was unfortunate because the gelato and ice cream sounded really good. Our server was not good either, her and the rest of the staff decided to eat side while we were still eating outside. Service was not good at all and it’s extremely rare we get that. Maybe we’ll be back but hopefully we have a better server who will care.

I would give this review one star if it weren’t for the cannoli dessert. It was probably one of the better cannolis I’ve tried. The pizza was also good, nothing special really just a little salty. For appetizers we got french fries, the stacked eggplant, and the bruschetta. The fries were actually very good but similar to bowling alley fries (aka good and salty). The bruschetta tasted burnt and the tomatoes tasted like nothing, also I don’t know if anyone there went to culinary school but the onions for it where chopped so poorly it was uncomfortable to eat. The “eggplant” was probably the worst part of our meal. There was zero eggplant in it. Like absolutely nothing. It just tasted like a stale salt less uncooked fried dough in equally unsalted red sauce. It was so awful. Also they didn’t have lemonade as a drink option, only alcoholic drinks and Pepsi products. They also served all of their sides like ketchup or red pepper flakes in small plastic containers which was an utter waste o
