Pepperoni's is a new pizza chain that just opened up near me. Not a huge fan of chains, but I had also never heard of Pepperoni's before so I gave them a shot. Already been here twice and everything's been great.
16" Large Pizza ($19.99)
Overall message about the pizzas:
When comparing prices to other pizza places, keep in mind that Pepperoni's large (16") is bigger than other joints' larges; Domino's large is 14", Crust is 14", and Bulldog's is also 14". These guys also don't skimp on the toppings. Now onto specifics.
Supreme
Typical supreme pizza with the usual ingredients, except these guys add on fresh tomatoes. Having tomatoes on a supreme pizza was new to me and I am now a convert. Such a simple idea, yet not many other places do it. Big fan.
Mediterranean
Yes, it is a veggie pizza, but it is filled with a variety of flavors and gets you full. Loved the fresh spinach and the two types of tomatoes they use here. Seeing how well these ingredients fit in together makes me surprised not more places have this combination.
10 piece wings ($9.99)
I've tried Hot Buffalo, Jamaican Jerk, Thai Chili, and Hot Korean BBQ. They were nice enough both times I ordered this to split 5 and 5 to have to flavors for me. Ranch and Bleu Cheese they use is Ken's.
Overall message about wings:
These wings are oven baked. Sure they don't come out as crispy as deep fried ones, but they also don't come out dry and overcooked. The wings are big, juicy, and well sauced. Specific sauces I've tried:
Hot Buffalo, very standard, exactly what you'd expect.
Jamaican Jerk and Thai Chili, I've had at Buffalo Wild Wing and Pepperoni's does it much better. Wings are bigger, juicier, and the sauce tastes better. Both flavors have a slight prick on the tongue on spice but nothing unmanageable.
Hot Korean BBQ was my least favorite. The flavor was a sweet BBQ sauce, and the sauce wasn't bad, but it did not remind me of Korean BBQ. No problem, 3 out of 4 is really good, considering the other three were great.
Negatives:
The crust on the pizza is a liiiiiiiiittle thick but that's really the only negative I can think of.
Customer service:
Amazing. The first time I came, I ordered through Doordash. However, when I came through the door, it turns out they weren't even officially open yet. The owner came out and told me he'd make my order for me anyway, as well as make it up to me for having to wait extra for them to make it. This was an error Doordash had made, and instead me having to call Doordash to deal with them, the owner handled it on his own. I saw him the second time I came as well and he made sure everything tasted great. Even though it is a chain, he gives it a feel of a small family business. Will definitely be back and I recommend this location specifically! read more
