The term «pizza chain» has negative connotations; think oily, cheap pizzas mass produced by a pimply sixteen year old and delivered by a Brazilian backpacker on a motorbike. Lucky and Pep's has luckily escape these stereotypes and become what all pizza places should endeavour to be - a geniune gourmet pizza experience. Originating in Newport, the brand has expanded to include a Forestville shop, to the delight of those in the Forest area.
The flavours are real, the ingredients are fresh and the bases taste as you'd like pizza bases to taste - no cardboard sensation, no overdose of bread. Happy days. Personal favourites include the Caprice, Four Seasons and Mexican; although not a vegetarian, I am always happy to sit down and enjoy a Vegetarian option.
However, Crust isn't the perfect pizza experience - it is my personal belief that pizza experiences should be available to punters in the suburbs all hours of the night (or at least until 10pm), which Lucky and Pep's sadly disappointed me on. «Sorry.... try Pizza Hut?» Opening hours that fail to cater for twenty something year old alcoholics aside, delivery is always prompt and polite. Although not the cheapest pizza option in the market, the discernibly gourmet taste of Luck and Pep's more than makes it worthwhile. read more
