well,the owner of pepe's just gave me a call and apologized for last night's mess-he explained to me about his regular chef having to leave due to a family emergency,and offered to send over a free pizza to make up for the first. i'm glad he did,since this pizza was very tasty (and perfectly cooked) -a tiny little bit salty it seemed to me,but certainly not enough to take away from the overall quality. even the crust was good,and i generally don't even attempt to eat that part of the pie. obviously the management at pepe's does care about it's customers,as i've never had another establishment call me to apologize about poor quality food,much less send free food in an attempt to win me back as a customer. well,it worked. this kind of service is all too rare,and very much appreciated.

so i'll be giving pepe's another chance it seems,and i hope they keep up the good work,since i'd love to recommend them to my friends in the neighborhood.

I was in the mood for ordering pizza in tonight -- I like Anthony's, but wood-fired delivery leaves something to be desired. Thus, I decided to browse Slice, and thank-goodness! When I first moved to the 'hood Peppe's was not Peppe's and it had sub-par slices so I had avoided this place. The review convinced me to give it a try, and I'm glad.

The three cheese pizza arrived quickly and was piping hot. The crust was a perfect blend of crisp and chewy and the sauce and cheeses became a lovely tangy tomato-y goodness. The caprese salad is a nice mix of fresh mozzarella, cherry tomotoes, roasted red pepper and basil on a bed of mixed greens. Too top it all off, the man on the phone was delightful. Thank you Peppe's I will be ordering again!

Went to Peppe last weekend and enjoyed our pizza very much!
Unfortunately, we just called for DELIVERY and they refused us because we were too far, and they wouldn't just deliver a PIE!
I spoke directly to the owner PEPPE , and told them that their menu clearly states a $10 minimum and when I asked them last weekend if they deliver to Union Street they said "Of Course"....
Now Peppe is telling me he "plays it by ear" when and where they want to deliver.
Now lets see, this place is TINY with 4 stools and a counter and MOST of their business is take out AND delivery, so wouldn't a smart business owner organize so that he had enough man power to deliver to all of Park Slope?

On the bright side, the very lovely and amazing MIKEY (the man who actually makes all that delicious pizza) called us just minutes ago to apologize! What a sweetheart! This man deserves his own pizza parlor!
I would follow him to any pizza joint!
Too bad! We were going to be a very regular customer!

I was looking forward to finding a decent joint in Park Slope after reading this review, but it was a huge letdown! I had a regular mushroom pie and while the ingredients are definitely above average, the crust was weirdly spongy, and not crispy at all. The crust also doesn't hold up well to the toppings and stuff slides off pretty easily. I can't recommend this place unless you live in the immediate neighborhood.

I tried Peppe's again last night and was much happier this time. As others have said, the chunks of garlic in the sauce on the grandma slice are a great touch. I also had a white slice with some veg toppings and, while parts of it did get a bit soggy from the toppings, everything was fresh and the rest of the crust had a nice snap to it. It's not my favorite style of pizza (I prefer it very thin with a little char, like they serve in New Haven) but it's easily better than any other slice place I've tried in Park Slope.

Norman -- you are correct, it is between Prospect & 17th.

Thanks for the review Adam. Went there tonight and had a great pie (the 18" pie was about 21"). But I had a spot of trouble finding the place as it isn't between 17th and 18th. Maybe 17th and Prospect? Mike is a great font of knowledge about where to shop for food in our neighborhood!
