Pepperoni's Cafe has made me a regular! While walking by, I stopped in on a whim--and was pleasantly surprised! Their menu covers all the bases, they have fresh muffins, and they are extremely reasonably priced. The servers are extremely friendly. The atmosphere is just wonderful. My girlfriend and I have made this our regular breakfast/brunch place. Their eggs (I get them scrambled) and fluffy and wonderful! I always want more!! For lunch, the Chicken Caprese is amazing! One of my favorite sandwiches--I often even order it for delivery! They have this awesome fruit nutella crepe which is to die for. Even their drinks are great. Their hot chocolate and freshly squeezed juices are all awesome. I've been across the street to Refuel Cafe, and simply put, Pepperoni's has nicer servers, better food, larger menu, more ample portions, and all at a cheaper price. I highly recommend Pepperoni's Cafe. If you stop by, I promise you won't regret it. read more

See all

The worst! Seafood pasta was not as described on the menu. Pasta had a very fishy taste and the presentation was horrible.

We sat for 10 minutes before someone came over to take our order. However, no one gave menus! I had to tell the waiter to give us menus. After our order was taken it took 45 mins to get our food. Place was not busy. Food was decent but service was awful. read more

Pepperoni's definitely falls a little short of the New Orleans standard, but the food is definitely acceptable. Of the many things ordered I really enjoyed the "everything" pizza. I also appreciated that they gave my group coupons for free frozen yogurt across the street! read more

Very tasty breakfast, open on Mardi Gras morning. Huevos rancheros surprisingly tasty (and we're from California). Also the specialty crepe was delicious. Skip the mimosa over priced and under sized. Over all, quite good place read more

This was a great spot to stop and have breakfast on a Monday morning. The staff is very nice and our meals tasted great. There is a noticeable difference when a restaurant uses fresh ingredients. I had an omelette that could have used a bit more sausage, but it was tasty. My wife had bananas foster French toast that I really enjoyed finishing it for her. They offer fresh fruit smoothies and make a good Bloody Mary. read more

Just lunched today at Pepperoni's Cafe, gotta say it exceeded my expectations today. The last time I stopped by was about 2.3 years ago. (Yes, I am a very exactly person) If my recollection serves me, which it does!, I ordered a calzone that took like 30min to come out and cost a bit more than I wanted to spend that evening. Nonetheless, that was then, this is now. I'm a bit of a pizza snob being from the great pizza state of New York so I spared them a sniping and went for a Super Vegetarian Panini. This was a very good decision. The SVP's bread was nice and crispy, pressed well and had a garlic aioli on top. It also had both black and green olives! Way to be thorough. The service was prompted and amicable. Nice touch by the waitress in curating the magazine selection for me. I'm not big on their decor or music selections, but it tis what it tis. This place is probably best for take-out or delivery anyhow. They hit me with a free dessert today, what was that all about!? Chocolate cake with a cherrt on top. (YEA MY LIFE'S LIKE THAT SOMETIMES!) Happy Mardi Gras indeed. Bottom Line: Go give Pepperoni's a try, lunch, dinner, or take out. read more

Stopped in for brunch with mom. Very clean, with a diner feel. Service was nice. I had eggs on tortillas with black beans. Not a lot of flavor, but it wasn't horrible. We really wished we had the pizza but didn't think of it until we had already ordered...we WERE in a place called Pepperoni's with pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling...probably should have had the pizza. read more

Service and food were great! Would definitely return and recommend to friends. The only problem was that it was a little pricey but it was good! read more

We ended up at this restaurant b/c the place we intended to go (across the street) was packed. Turned out to be a blessing. The food was great! We had 7 in our party, all ordered different items that were all perfectly prepared with an amazing taste!!! Service was outstanding and very friendly. The owner noticed how hungry we all were and brought us out a complimentary plate of watermelon. She also gave our children complimentary brownies for our drive home. We recommend anyone traveling to Nola to stop in! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Good delivery deal. Had a large veggie which came with a 2 liter of sofa and dessert chocolate cake for $17. The pizza got here quick (Carrolton and Sycamore) and was pretty damn tasty. Pizza and Notre Dame gong down made for a great dinner! read more

This place is is great and has a wonderful atmosphere. The server Brian is awesome and he gave my girlfriend and our friend all beads for Mardi Gras. The food looks and tastes amazing 10/10 would recommend it. If you're in town bring your friends and family and enjoy read more

If you think pepperonis cafe is good, youre an idiot. This sad little restaurant serves the cheapest food they can find from SaveAlot, take tips from servers, microwave half their menue, and have the opposite of fresh mango juice(60% orange juice). The only people who visit this scab of Hampton street, are clueless victims casted away from full neighbooring restaurants. You sit down, they see a dolor sign, and try to get the most they can out of you. The owners are the opposite of neworleanians, and are terrible people. Ps. I mightve workes there read more

Food was good, but the service was pretty awful. Tables remained dirty for 20+ minutes, the server only came around once and never came to collect the check, we had to drop it off at the front. The menu online was also underpriced compared to what it actually was. read more

Worst service ever. Food was average at best, but even if the food had been decent I would never go back because the service was that bad. Don't waste your time or money. read more

This was a cute place to eat, but not the best place if you're in a hurry or starving. The food was real good, but the service was REALLY SLOOOOW! They took way to long to greet us and give us menus. They need to work on their in going and out going order system. They would write the orders on a note pad at the table then take like ten minutes to transfer it to a thin slip of paper for the chef/kitchen. They made people wait at the door when they had plenty of tables open, but just needed to be bused. Lastly I had more then enough time after I finished my meal to write this review and we still haven't received our check yet. read more

A Must..... visiting from Baltimore & wandered from C. Grill. Pancakes..... to lunch food!

Slow food and me and my sis were only customers. Waitress was very friendly. My calzone wasn't that good, not enough cheese and too much marinara sauce. Wasn't impressed but my sister liked her panini. read more

I stumbled upon this place for breakfast. I ordered a some buttermilk pancakes which were very tasty it came with a side of grits which was very tasty as well just not enough, serving size was too small. The service was great and the food didn't take long to come out. I will visit again. read more

Went here because I was walking and really wanted eggs and saw it was Breakfast All Day so I walked in. The decor is nice. Was immediately greeted. The food was amazing. Had the Masterpiece with freshly made Mango juice. I would definitely come back without a doubt read more

We stopped here after a swamp tour. Pepperoni's is located on a quaint street. I immediately felt the family atmosphere which makes the difference. The food is well-priced and tasty. The mango mimosa is a must try! read more

My favorite place! Love it because: a) it is very clean! b) when I ask for no marinara sauce in my calzone they just do it. c) price is affordable Probably have more reasons to love it but can't think of it right now. Will update later. My favorite things to eat there: Calzone with meatballs no marinara sauce. Heart-smart pizza is the only pizza I would ever eat in New Orleans. Panini dressed with meatballs and no marinara sauce. Don't like that marinara sauce. :))) read more

Stumbled upon this culinary treat during a sight-seeing-post cruise day... I read some of the reviews here and we too were "skeptical" because the restaurant was empty (it was between two and three o'clock though). Every thing brought to our table was divine! The service was great too! If you are looking for something off the beaten path, (on the trolley line though) check this place out. The décor is a bit tired looking, and the "cushions" a bit hard but don't let that deter you... Enjoy! read more

Humble little restaurant run by very nice folks! We had two great brunch entrees: huevos rancheros and the New Orleans omelet with fresh shrimp. Plus two Bloodies (they have mango mimosas, too). Also, quite a breakfast menu. It's not really Italian, nor really Mexican, though a little of both. Excellent service, and would happily return. read more

Best kept secret in Uptown. Quality and taste of breakfast / brunch food rivals any restaurant in the city. Also very friend staff and owners always onsite. read more

Ended up here after Refuel Cafe was too busy to accommodate my party. The restaurant lacks any clear organization, leaving patrons to figure out whether to seat themselves, order at the counter, or await the terribly inattentive wait staff. When we approached the manager to ask, we were directed to "go talk to him" with a dismissive hand gesture. Still not sure who "he" was. We proceeded to take our own initiative and seat ourselves, only to wait 20 minutes just to have our order taken. The juice that was advertised as fresh was clearly not. The food arrived cold, without utensils, then we were given dirty silverware. The food itself was fine. Management refuses to split checks and obviously has no interest in working with customers or their apologetic staff to improve the customer experience. read more

Do not get sucked into their breakfast. Opted to try them because place across the street was crowded. Their menu touted "famous potatos" with breakfast. As soon as the waiter set my plate down I could smell the freezer burn on them. Also, used frozen vegetables. Nothing fresh or flavorable. $2.50 for a plain cup of coffee...really? I have two stars for staff only. Food was overpriced and underwhelming. read more

I love this place, the owner is really friendly and is always there! if you ever go there I suggest the cheesy bread with a glass of mango lemonade! I work around the corner and go there all the time! read more

I have been a big fan of Pepperoni's since I first discovered it a few years ago. The service is wonderful and the food is excellent! It is a perfect brunch/lunch spot - never too crowded, and very close to uptown destinations such as Audubon Park, Tulane University, and Loyola University. In terms of food, the bananas foster french toast is incredible, they have really good omelet selections and the paninis are amazing. The raspberry tea is so good (not too sweet), and they give you unlimited free refills, as well as a to-go cup when you are finished with your meal! Definitely give it a try - you won't be disappointed! read more

THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST PLACE IN NEW ORLEANS!!! Across the street from breakfast staples refuel and the grill I prefer pepperoni's any day. The service is amazing with a truly homie feel. Have been for dinner twice and have never left unsatisfied good pizza (and I'm from NY) and fun creative foods. Give this place a chance you will not be disappointed. EGGS SARDOU is my favorite dish 5 stars, have also had California omelette, Nutella French toast, huevos rancheros, and the masterpiece. Great iced coffee and strawberry juice! read more

Love love love this place! Been there a handful of times so far and it's delicious. My favorites are the huevos rancheros and the Nutella and berry crepe. I think most people just pass it up but it's def a spot that you should visit. I personally think the huevos rancheros at cafe pepperoni are better than the place across the street (la Macarena). read more

We Live this place! Always clean, good fresh food, a friendly staff, & great prices make for a wonderful dining experience!

Too bad no star is not an option. My husband and kids were visiting family in New Orleans, we came across this restaurant because the place we were going to go the line was out the door. So we decided to go here it was right around the corner and the kids were hungry. So we sat down and looked at the menu, my first thought was they are pretty expensive but whatever we are on vacation. So my daughter ordered strawberry pancakes and they came with grits, she doesn't like grits so I asked the waiter if she could have a side of eggs in place of the grits. He said I can add an order of eggs but I can't substitute?! So I said ok fine bring out the grits too (for 8 dollars). So the waiter replied you still want them?! Ummm yes if you are charging me for them! My husband loves grits and he will eat them. My son and husband ordered the uptowner which is a basic breakfast with eggs meat toast and potatoes for 9 dollars. I ordered the banana foster french toast which came with a slice of watermelon for 9 dollars. So all of our food came out except my daughters and the portions were small and the food was nothing special. The bananas foster French toast was French toast with bananas on it with syrup. My daughters food came out last and the grits were soupy and the pancakes were raw inside. We told the waiter and he apologizes and takes her plate and brings her back pancakes at this point we were all done with our breakfast and were ready to go. We had to ask him to take her pancakes off of the bill because we were ready to go at this point. I put the cash down with the tip, the waiter who I believe is the owner or the manager takes the cash and doesn't even ask if we need change!?WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF EATING BREAKFAST AT MCDONALDS! read more

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant in the city. Its customer service is excellent and its food is delicious. I would recommend the sunny-side eggs with bacon because they are exquisite. Of course everything else is very good, and anyone should give it a shot and try this restaurant. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The staff is friendly and customer service is top notch! Let's talk about the food: HOT, FRESH, DELICIOUS, and did I mention Delicious! Breakfast and lunch menu's have variety, plus breakfast is available all day. Check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Worst service I've ever experienced in my life. I ordered 2 takeout sandwiches and had to wait an hour when they said it would be 20 minutes. Extremely rude staff, very disorganized, dirty. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! read more

Got a coupon for Peperoni's Café, I'm glad it was a coupon... Coming in, ordering a coke and an omelet and some veggies for my wife, we had to shake the coke high up to get attention for a refill, the omelet was poorly served, it looked boring and it actually didn't taste much either, for $9 I want something better, the sauteed potatoes where really boring, no crunch, half way cooked. I only give the place 2 stars because of a nice location and nice interiors. But we'll not come back... Good food is extremely easy to make and they do have the ingredients, but didn't use them correctly, sorry guys, it's a redo. read more

deserves better reviews. they give complimentary watermelon and we had no issues. they also gave us a complimentary meal for our next visit! will come back read more

Don't waste your time and money. The inside looks okay and the service is decent but the food is AWFUL!! My husband and I both ordered pasta and it was disgusting - both dishes completely lacked flavor! His seafood pasta, in his words, "tasted like skim milk - it didn't even taste like seafood." My spaghetti was covered in a ridiculous amount of tomato paste, that's right, tomato paste. It was clearly right out of a can with no seasoning whatsoever - it even had the texture of tomato paste. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else in the neighborhood. read more

Best kept secret in New Orleans! Incredibly friendly staff. Outstanding breakfast-- try the eggs sardou and the banana strawberry juice! We go every weekend and have never been disappointed. read more
