Service was very quick and friendly, and there was a diner-like ambiance that was casual and inviting. We tried three pies: clam, fresh tomato (summer special), and hot pepperoni. The clam pizza had great garlicky, lemony flavor, but some of the clams were too chewy for my liking. The fresh tomato pie was my favorite, as it was light and had great basil and garlic flavor. The hot pepperoni and peppers pie was also good, packing more of a spicy punch than expected, but overall very flavorful. The crust of all three of these pies was fantastic, light and crispy, yet still substantial.

I've been to Pepe's Pizza in Fairfield several times and have always enjoyed the pizza, but my last…read morevisit was a little disappointing. We ordered one pizza with one topping and waited quite a while. A table seated next to us arrived after us, ordered four pizzas and received all their food before we got ours. I asked our waiter if there was a reason the table got 4 pizza's before our 1 pizza and his initial response was simply, "No reason." When I questioned it further, he said it depended on when the tickets were received, which didn't make much sense since they were seated after us. I understand delays happen, but a kind explanation or apology would have gone a long way. Instead, the response felt dismissive. I tried to send this feedback through the restaurant's website first, but it kept giving me an error from their website, so I'm posting it here instead in the hopes that management sees it and can address whatever caused the delay and help prevent the same experience for future customers.

She apologized several times and in the end wound up camping the cup of coffee and my Arnold Palmer drink and discounted the chicken Parmesan. This is the right way to run a restaurant. I will definitely be back. As far as the chicken Parmesan, it was absolutely delicious. What I like about it is the entire chicken is covered in mozzarella. Really enjoyed it.

As someone who hates typical Connecticut pizza and firmly believes that New York pizza is in a league of its own, I was genuinely shocked -- and impressed -- to find pizza here that rivals (and in some cases surpasses) what I used to get in the city. It's just that good. I've been ordering from this place since it was The Pizza Post, and the quality hasn't just remained consistent -- it's actually gotten better over time. The management, owner, chef, and even the delivery driver are all incredibly professional and courteous. It's clear they take pride in their product and in their service. Delivery is always lightning fast, and there's never a delivery fee -- which in this day and age is almost unheard of. Another huge plus? The gluten-free pizza I order for my wife isn't some frozen, off-the-shelf crust like most places. It's made in-house, and you can taste the difference. She loves it, and honestly, I've stolen a few slices and couldn't even tell it was gluten free. The ambience is exactly what you'd want from a great local spot -- a classic, no-frills mom-and-pop pizza joint where the focus is on the food and the community. If you're on the fence or stuck ordering from the same old mediocre spots, do yourself a favor and give The Post a shot. It's not just good for Connecticut -- it's just plain great.

Furthermore, you get a ticket stamper and the tenth time you order pizza, you get a free large pizza. Wow!! That's a great way to keep people coming back!! The inside was nice, cozy and somewhat trendy. I can definitely see some pictures getting taken by the light up sign on the wall. The customer service was great and the owner was very gracious.

It was topped with shredded mozzarella, ricotta, caramelized onions, truffle oil, and he added sausage. I enjoyed the truffle flavor.. it wasn't overpowering and everything worked well together. The pizza was flavorful, and I can see why it's a popular choice. That said, as a Bronx native, I wouldn't call this New York style pizza, it's not the kind I grew up with. The crust was nice and thin, but toward the center of the pie it got a little soggy. I just wish the crispiness stayed more consistent from edge to center. The restaurant itself has a small takeout area when you first walk in, but through the double doors there's a full dining room with a bar, so it's larger than it initially appears. While we only tried the pizza this visit, after looking at photos of the menu on Yelp, id say their dinner dishes look delicious. I'd definitely come back and try their chicken and pasta!

I went in…read morearound 2:30PM - which everyone expects for a place to be open and ready for business, ordered the pizza and the guy said it would be about 20 minutes. Keep in mind there were two workers there and neither one spoke ONE word of English! This is the US in 2026. People can come fresh from another country, cannot speak one word of English, but somehow ends up with a business? How do they know how to pay for taxes, expenses and other things? How were they able to open it without speaking English? Odd indeed... Anyway... The order was a simple pizza, but even at 2:30PM, they clearly were not ready for business. Once the order was placed, I expected for the pizza to start being made and put into the oven. I guess the 20 minutes was for him to clean each pizza stick thing, make sure the oven was up to temperature and do some other things BEFORE he even started making the pizza. This pizza place was not Italian, but either Portuguese or Cuban. The pizza making process was strange, as he formed it with his fingers for most of it, and only slightly tossed it to even out the dough. Then it was placed onto a frame, then put into the oven. I guess that the oven was not ready as he kept checking it first. Once he put the pizza in without closing it, the oven must have been overheated because the pizza was cooking too fast. He had to turn it every 20 seconds. I never saw this before. He even ruined the pizza as it ripped when he took it out. I did not understand what he was saying, but it seemed as if he was asking me if I wanted the ripped pizza! I originally came from New Haven, so I was used to seeing the various pizza makers do their thing, and I never saw any of them have to constantly check the pizza and turn it every 20 seconds. They would leave it in and know when to check. I was wondering while I was watching, was how he would be able to put multiple pizzas in the oven at once and have them cook evenly without burning... So, they finally get it right, but the edges were burned. I did not complain because at this point, I wanted to leave and I knew that I would not be coming back. They just did not seem to know what they were doing and all rehearsals should have been done before they opened. With all of that, the pizza was decent, but too much flour while spreading the dough out, messed things up once the flour was in the over. I always preferred the pizza where they sprinkled cornmeal under it before putting it in the oven instead. The edges were burned as well. I kept looking around the place and at their menu, wondering where the rest of the foods were, because I saw nothing and I hardly saw basic pizza stuff. Either they got to the place and opened late, or they just were not prepared. Bad first impression. Where I live now has horrible pizza - except for one place that costs quite a bit, but between traffic and the pizza and inept prep, it is not worth my time to come back here. While some pizzas of different varieties and be good, I prefer Italians spots. For martial arts films - I prefer Chinese. For hip-hop, I prefer blak-Americans. You just get things done right. Lastly, a woman came in asking for a slice - which they advertise, but they had none. They had no ready made pizzas for slices, or any visible foods for sale, except for bags of chips. This was a weird place. I don't know how long they have been in business, but I do know that the pizza prep game is tedious and requires early morning and even overnight prep work. Once you get that out of the way, everything else is just fine.

I am a mail carrier, who works in the area. Please note, that I had also delivered to them when the regular was out on vacation, this is how I became a customer. I would purchase their personal size cheese pizza almost everyday while doing the route, or if and when in the area. Before leaving, I would use the bathroom, because as mentioned before ... I am a mail carrier with very little access to restrooms on the routes. So today, although I did not make a purchase today, I stopped there this morning to use the restroom. I again then tried to use the bathroom just now 3/2 @ 5pm and the young lady who is the cashier had an attitude and said to me that I basically shouldn't think that I can just come there and use their bathroom, and that I have to be a customer. I explained to her that I am a customer, I just wasn't making a purchase today. She continues to tell me that she's being "nice," and if it were anyone else .. they would tell me no to my face (lmao). I wanted to curse her out so bad, but me being in my uniform didn't allow me to. Anyways, I reiterated myself about me being a customer ... and that I just wasn't making a purchase ... she calls a gentleman over and he's like don't take it personal ... but it was already personal ...
