Peppino's Pizzeria is a highly regarded Italian restaurant located in the countryside of Athens, Georgia. Reviewers have praised the establishment's delicious pizza, with one calling it "probably the best in Athens." The atmosphere is described as a genuine "pizza joint," and Joe, the owner, has been running this place and Little Italy for decades. Customers appreciate the option to order at the counter and wait for their number to be called, making it a great spot for a quick lunch, including the choice to buy a single slice and a drink.
While the pizza remains a highlight, some customers have had mixed experiences with other menu items. One visitor found the chicken Parmesan to be chewy and not as fresh as expected, although they noted that the cheese was good. The staff at Peppino's is consistently described as incredible, friendly, and welcoming, and the restaurant is always clean, including the bathrooms.
The consensus is that Peppino's offers exceptional Italian cuisine, especially their pizza, which includes unique touches like basil chopped into the mozzarella. Despite some inconsistencies, many customers consider Peppino's a "hidden gem" and a "favorite dine-in or dine-out restaurant," with one calling it "the best pizza we have had in town."
