Found this place on accident. I'm not in this area often and was looking for a quick lunch This is a pretty large place. They had a ton of tables and a cool arcade for kids. I asked if they do slices and they don't but they do small personal pies. I waited barely 10 minutes so they wasn't too bad. Sauce was solid. Cheese was good. A little doughy and greasy but didn't ruin it. If I go back I would ask them to keep in the oven a few more minutes. Just a solid place to try if you are in the area. read more

Pepi's Pizza - Personal Plain cheese pie - Pizza Near Me - Oneida, New York

Fantastic place I've been going there since they were in the original smaller building. That's now tucked behind the current building. I noticed that the arcade has changed greatly, used to be some old school beat them up and classic games.. now it's all those horrible skill, high score "Ticket" games. The Pizza and the service are always fantastic, but oh they really gotta get the arcade back to the way it was... read more

Ordered a large bacon pizza bc they kindly sent me a coupon for a pizza. Although the coupon was nice I'm glad I had it because if I paid for this pizza I got I would be highly upset... it truly was nasty... kinda was like cardboard.. also found a piece of blue plastic on it.. will not be ordering again.. I've had better freezer style pizzas for $10 or less.. read more

This is some great pizza where they bring it out and give you a party cut. The service was great pizza. We ordered a large, excellent crust. Excellent cooking. Great flavor on the sauce. Service was great. The fried dough was also great. Very light and airy. read more

Food is decent and customer was great. Had a late lunch here at 2:30 and wait staff very helpful and nice. Would come back

I say... What is it with putting the pepperoni and meat under the cheese? Really weird. Not disappointing or anything but just weird. Guess that's what sets y'all apart. I love me some good pizza. The pizza and wings were good enough to bring me back, but the prices... Not so much. 40 bucks for two people in Oneida, seems a little steep to me. I do like the sauce and the amount of cheese They put on the pizza. The crust was done great. My server was really friendly. Kind of put her patience to the test though. I asked for ice water, then asked for more ice, then asked for ranch for my wings, asked for peppers and Parmesan, asked for more blue cheese, then asked for napkins. She never complained and never got an attitude. LOL. She was very polite and I tipped her well for putting up with me. read more

Pepi's was great. I was a bit skeptical, having been raised in NYC and used to good pizza. The place had a nice atmosphere, like an old school family pizza place. I liked the train that ran around the walls by the ceiling and the arcade area with vintage games like Ms. PacMan. The pizza was fantastic -- it had a nice crispy crust, good sauce and a nice amount of toppings. Carrie, the employee who helped us, was kind and attentive. We got the fried dough for the road which was good, too. Would definitely recommend. read more

Amazing service and a nice arcade. Stay away from the Mild Sauce by far the worst I've ever had in my entire life and I've gone to hundred of places for a Buffalo chicken pizza. read more

Just ordered a large chicken wing pizza from the Pepi's in Oneida. First off it looked a little weird, the chicken was deli sliced, not grilled and cut, like they claimed. After eating a few bites I realized that it was turkey, and after calling to inquire about it I was told that they do not have deli sliced chicken, which confirmed my thought about the turkey, which I had added to my anti-pasta salad. Total waste of $25.00 for a large pizza that I only took a few bites out of. Truthfully I have had better frozen pizzas or ones that they have by the deli at Walmart. Probably won't be going to Pepi's again anytime soon. read more

Dinner Jan 28 delivery Order came accurately and very quickly. Love their on line ordering website - but but but, they need to have a place for comments or special instructions! This pizza would be 10X better in my opinion if they put the Pepperoni's ON TOP of the cheese and not under it. There is NO place on the website when you order to ask for the pepperoni's on top. Simply and easy change on the website This is good pizza and fresh, but could be better with Pepperoni's on top! read more

Pepi's has been a mainstay for so long in the Oneida area that I'm guessing most people either love it or hate it. They are definitely unique and most people will notice it the first time they open up their pizza box - 16 square cut slices! The restaurant itself is a bit of a throwback - plenty of OLD video games from the 80's and early 90's line their game room as well as some newer skill games. As a fan of these games, I think it's great, but I see some other reviews complaining about this (insert eye roll emoji). The pizza itself is very good. Their tag line is "it's the dough that makes the pizza" and its meaning isn't lost on me. The dough is thin, crisp, and has good flavor. Toppings get a bit expensive, so I tend to stick to one or two when I order them. They have good, not great, wings and will charge for celery and blue cheese - lame! There aren't many other notable sides other than their homemade fried dough. Here you can get it with powdered sugar or cinnamon or if you are a rebel, get both. The fried dough is an excellent dessert after polishing your pizza off. As I briefly mentioned, the big drawback for me here is price - they tend to be more expensive than other pizza places in the area. They do give you 10% off once you spend $50 I believe, which is nice, but things here add up QUICKLY. Stick to pizza only and you'll do ok. Pepi's offers local delivery and has dine in options in the aforementioned restaurant. They have plenty of seating for large groups and service is usually prompt and friendly each of the times I've dined in. This is easily 3 1/2 stars with the extra 1/2 coming from those vintage games :) read more

I lived in Jacksonville, Florida for 2 1/2 years (25 years ago) and missed Pepi's Pizza, dearly. I mean, I grew up with Pepi's!!)) There was never an option where we would go when it came to Pizza because Nothing else quite compared.My Boyz always loved everything too...the train, as well as, playing in the arcade with their tokens & Micah collecting bouncy balls from the gumball machines ‼We held several Birthday Parties at Pepi's TOO So, 'Thank You' to the Noble Family for what you do BEST... And, Martha's delicious Italian dressing!!!!! With so much changing throughout the years, I'm so grateful that Pepi's is still ' booming'#memoriesmade read more

As soon as I walked in, I knew from the aromas, it was going to be great. If you like cheesy pizza, ( without paying extra), you'll love their pizza. If you get the thin crust and like it crispy, tell them to bake it well done. Otherwise, it's just good and thin. The dough, the sauce and the real cheese does make the difference! Definitely will drive back here, from Syracuse! read more

Best pizza place in the area. The pizza dough and sauce are the best. One of the only places with homemade quality food. All menu items are delicious. Definitely worth the price! read more

Terrible pizza. I asked my crust cooked "well". It was burned. Apparently there's nothing between raw and burned. Learn how to make pizza at home. It will be far better than this travesty. read more

I order boneless chicken wings with a side of blue cheese. Instead I got popcorn chicken that was mostly bread with no blue cheese. They do a great job with pollo's but their wings are nasty. read more

Pepi's Pizza - Boneless chicken wings - Pizza Near Me - Oneida, New York

They used to be a good place! They don't know how to treat teen employees! I will not give them business since the way they treated my 16 year old granddaughter! We went in to eat after they let her go and an adult waitress came over to trash talk our diabetic granddaughter who they recently let go saying how dramatic she was and she was a handful and no one would ever hire her! That is not how you talk about coworkers to her family! I'm sorry but not sorry! Take care of yourself and don't worry about how others are!! read more

We were told to seat ourselves. Sat down for 5 minutes. Went and got our own menu. Only waitress started busing tables around us and never offered to get a drink order. read more

The good: Service was friendly and fast. Plenty of staff. The bad: The pizza was limp and tasteless. The wings were flacid and somewhat gross. The ugly: They forgot some toppings on the pizza. I will not return. read more

I grew up in Canastota and always ordered from Pepis. It used to be the best pizza. For years I've always told everyone that this was the best pizza I'd ever had... it's not anymore. They changed the recipe. It's nothing now, barely better than gas station pizza. What a shame. They remade the interior and it's a box with a bad paint job. The old restaurant atmosphere was 100 times better. Not recommending it anymore. Not going here anymore. A sad visit, I'm sorry to say. read more

Have eaten here while visiting family for almost 30 years. No longer live in NY. Still love the pizza but can't approve of the wings anymore, used to be cooked longer with more crispy skin. It's what I have compared all other pizza places across the country. But after 60-70 years of business, I am sure it's not entirely the same as it was before. read more

Wow, what a great experience!! We were looking for something other than a fast food burger joint, which was basically all we had eaten for several days of a road trip. I had doubts that pizza was going to really raise that bar much higher. While it's true that it was, in fact, pizza we were eating rather than a harvest quinoa bowl or other some such hipster health fare, I feel happier and more well fed than I have at a restaurant in a long time. The "family special" is a large cheese pizza with a pitcher of your choice of beverage, salad, and fried dough. The pizza was very good (we asked for pepperoni), the salad was great, and the fried dough (which we got to-go because we were so full of pizza) is beyond amazing! The special also included 20 tokens to the game room, which my 3 and 7 year old boys loved. While we waited for our dinner, my youngest wanted to go watch the "pizza man," who was very artfully tossing a pizza dough high into a reverse-type chimney: a hole in the ceiling especially made to throw dough as high as possible. My kid was going berserk over this spectacle, shouting epithets like, "Holy Guacamole!" and "Oh my Papa!" The pizza man thought this was hilarious, and after sharing that his grandfather was the man displayed in the photo on the wall (a man who had an obviously robust sense of humor), he honored us by giving my boys "Piece. Love. Pizza." T-shirts. We really just had a really great time, and will do our best to make sure that was not our last visit. read more

Please go back to your original dough & sauce recipies. Our recent pizza 1/30/22 was a huge disappointment. We always loved your pizza & looked forward to it every time we came home from Florida. Big disappointment this time. Sorry.... read more

The pizza here is always great. We've been ordering here for years and make it a point to drive from Clinton to Oneida for pick-up. We usually place an order for 3 pizzas as we have a large family. The prices here are FAR better than what I pay for mediocre pizza here in Clinton or New Hartford. Love, love, love this pizza! I can't believe people are giving 3 start reviews because the toppings are put under the cheese! What the heck??! Anyway, I lived in Chicago for 10 years and I NYC and THIS pizza tops all that I've ever had anywhere. read more

I have been getting Pizza from here for a long long time always been great but I was not happy the last time I ordered a pizza for pickup they charged me a 10% gratuity what's that all about read more

Went tonight after getting the car from Nye service. Our server Kalin was friendly and apologetic about the potential wait for a pie. We ordered salads wings... extra crispy and a cheese pizza. Salads came with our drinks and were fresh and crisp as we finished our salads about 5 min our wings came. They were perfectly cooked and tasty. We ate just over half of our 24 wings and were cleaning up and within less than 5 minutes out came the pizza. Everything was delicious. The staff as we were leaving were gracious and there was one other server who helped us, didn't get her name but she also was cheerful and nice to be around. Highly recommend Pepi's in Oneida NY. We will be back!! read more

Not what I would expect from a "family restaurant". The staff are all standing around behind the counter swearing & carrying on about who they have had sex with & who they want to. All in earshot of the patrons & children. Service was backwards & confused. Multiple staff attempting to wait on the same tables. Yet none of them can check on you to see if you need anything else. None of them could stop by to see if we needed more drinks or to see how the food is or to come & clear the table of used dishes. We had to buss our own table & get our own drink refills. The food was not great either. It was more bar food than family restaurant food. Don't bother asking for anything special like extra toppings, because you won't get them, but they'll charge you for it. Because the wait staff is taking the orders & charging you for it, but they do not check your food to make sure it is what you ordered. So the cooks are not held accountable for their work & what you ordered. Sure the decor is family oriented, but the staff & the food are not. read more

Ordered a large pizza and 20 boneless wings. The pizza was ok but the "wings" came as sauce less popcorn chicken and NOT boneless wings (only half of the order had actual chicken) which was disappointing read more

Pepi's Pizza - Order of "20" boneless wings - Pizza Near Me - Oneida, New York

Pizza was good and staff was nice but service was terrible. Every table in our area was served the wrong food. Our pizza sat on the table across from us for 10 minutes before the staff realized it was the wrong order (family was playing games and not at table when served). The server then picked up the pizza and put it on our table and left. No apologies or offer to get us a new order. Another table's wings were served to us and we had to flag down the server to let her know it wasn't our order. I get they were busy but having food sit in front of other customers and then served to us is something I am just not ok with. read more

Pepi's used to be THE place to go. The pizzas were great, the games were magnificent, and generally there was nothing wrong with it. Well, I can't speak to the games since I ordered delivery but the pizza is definitely not what I remember. It's okay. It's pizza to have with a beer or two on a hot day when you don't want to cook but there are better, more delicious pizzas in the area. Maybe I'll stop in and check out whether or not they still have that old game room. If so that can redeem a lot of sins. read more

You know as well as I do that the sauce makes or breaks a pizza. Well this place has the best in Madison County in NY. Try the Green Olives and Ham. read more

I've enjoyed Pepsi for many years now. Usually we order take out and it's usually really good though we have had a few instances in the past when it hasn't been great. Recently we've dined in a couple of times as we have had out of town friends visiting. Both times were a hit and the food was great. We did have to correct one receipt when it was rang up wrong and we were overcharged, however our waitress fixed this immediately when we brought it to her attention. The restaurant is clean and the game room is a nice distraction for the kids. Overall, we really enjoyed our visits. read more

You can't beat Pepi's for pizza! THE BEST and the crust is delicious - the Pepi's special is a must!

just purchased a Lg pepperoni,sausage, and. mushroom pizza; and wings. we asked for well done. the pizza was nasty, the pizza was very soggy, and the wings were barely cooked let alone well done as ordered. Out of fairness, we have gotten pizza once before and it was excellent. needless to say this pizza will be in the garbage with the wings. read more

Pepi's pizza is delicious--thin, crisp, and cheesy. It's a local favorite, and there are a handful of Pepi's locations throughout Oneida and the surrounding towns. The Oneida location is popular with families and kids because of its vintage arcade and playful vibe. (Side note: this is a great place for enthusiasts of classic arcade games, all of which are still in working order!) The Oneida restaurant was recently renovated and has a much more modern look than it once did. Yes, it's brighter, more updated and probably cleaner than it was before. Still, I miss the dim lighting and vintage feel of the old place. It felt like it had been stuck in time from the '80s. I can see why they felt the need to renovate but I'm sad that the old Pepi's is gone forever. They have tried to retain elements of the original restaurant (the old glass Pepsi lampshades, the game room, the toy train, even a handwritten list of game room rules that surely must be thirty years old) but it's not quite the same. Feels like the end of an era. read more

Every employee I've met there had been very friendly. My only problem is the pizza. When they changed buildings, i don't know what happened but the pizza has gotten bad. The taste of the pizza is disappointing. Also, i think the prices for birthday party bundles is too expensive. Especially when you're not really getting enough for their set prices. read more
