Best cheesesteak in Baltimore. It used to be much more grittier, and the place has a history with associations to a Baltimore chapter of the Greek mafia (no joking, go look up stories from the mid-90s in the Archives of the Baltimore Sun). I love the delivery and convenience of this place. They still reign as the spot to go to if you live in the Lake Falls/Mount Washington/Roland Park area for a cheap, and easy meal. I would not get pizza here though. The specialties are in the subs and sandwiches. BLT here is amazing as is the Chicken Parmigiana. read more

Had a personal size pepperoni pizza last night. It was definitely a frozen pizza with fresh pepperoni put on it. Gross! If it wasn't, then their pizza sucks and I'm never eating there again! What a disappointment. If you're a pizzeria, don't cut corners. read more

I went in to get breakfast because it looks so clean. Had to go to the restroom first when I noticed am employee came in and left back out without washing her hands. Needless to say I lost my appetite. I don't think I'll ever try there food. read more

Pepe's - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

It has been over a year since my family has eaten pizza from Pepe's, and now I remember why. My husband purchased a pepperoni pizza from them tonight, and we were beyond disappointed. The pizza was covered in grease! Now, I know that some is to be expected when you get pepperoni as a topping, but this was outrageous! The pizza was so wet and slippery, that the cheese just slid off when you tried to pick up a slice. Also, the dough was so wet and flimsy that I gave up attempting to hold a slice together. Since my husband and I hate wasting money, and since it would have been too much of a hassle to go all the way back to return the so called pizza, we decided to try to choke down some of it. Immediately after eating some, my stomach started churning and I developed a headache. My husband's stomach is also irritated. We will not give Pepe's another penny of or money! read more

The place closes at 11 and I showed up at 10:03 to get a late night bite to eat cause I was driving through the area. They didn't let me in and said only for pick up and I asked if I could place an order and they said no, I would have had to place it already. Might as well close the business at 10. read more

Nice family owned business, called & fixed my problem, even followed up with a text'!

We've been coming here for years. For the price, yumminess and convenience, it almost can't be beat. Cheesesteak with everything - none better. Pizza - crust is very good, sauce is tangy and bright, even better the next day if you're into that sort of thing. Second favorite pizza in Baltimore (over Hersh's, over Iggie's, over Verde, over Joe Squared -- sorry guys). Spanikopita - surprisingly good, surprisingly light. Sometimes I get the fries with gravy, not because they're perfect, but because they satisfy the deepest darkest carby urge you can have. They rock me back to my Jagermeister days. Thankfully, they just taste fine on their own. read more

I only order the crab cake sub or sandwich from here when I am at work. For a carryout it is pretty good. Will order again.

A friend and I were crusing Baltimore's fabric stores and found ourselves in need of sustenance. She had eaten at Pepe's once before, but had been really hungry on that occasion so wasn't sure if it was as good as she remembered. It seems like a family-run kind of place, the way the staff hangs out and banters. The woman taking our order was clearly a pro and got our somewhat complicated order correct (onions on only half the pizza). While we were at the register some fried mozzarella sticks crossed the counter and they looked so good we had to have them. We also got a pizza with olives, spinach, and feta cheese. The mozzarella sticks were awesome. They were not your standard frozen wholesale. I could be wrong, but they appeared to have been hand-dipped right before going in the fryer, and the breading was smooth (as opposed to the coarse grainy wholesale frozen stuff), not too thick, and nicely flavored. They came with marinara sauce for dipping. I didn't ask for Ranch (as a Texan, that is my usual dip for mozz sticks--I eat them maybe once a year, so I'm gonna indulge). They were crisp and hot and stringy but not too melty--a sign of quality cheese. The pizza was sensational. My friend and I kept debating whether it was the crust or the sauce that was so good. I said the crust: it tasted like it had a really long rise so there was lots of fermented yeasty goodness and depth to it, and it had a tiny bit of sweetness from that process and the caramelization of the hot oven. She said the sauce: it was applied with a light hand, and so it was present but not overpowering and had discernible garlic and flavor. The mozz cheese was generous and good quality, ditto the feta, and the spinach was excellent. I ate more than was good for me, and stopped only because I feared bursting my stomach. Tiny gripes: -The mozz sticks came out with the pizza (would have preferred before), and an order number was shouted but we hadn't been given a number. After a while we recognized our food and picked it up. -You can't get your own water, it comes from the fountain behind the counter in a styrofoam cup. -There is only one large shaker of pepper flakes for the entire restaurant, so you have to keep getting up to get it with each piece of pizza. read more

Had a cheese steak and it was pretty solid. And they deliver so good new for me. I like the food will definitely return .

I love Pepe's! I work in Hampden and Pepe's is a weekly choice for me. They have a great menu but primarily use them for breakfast and lunch. The ladies at the register are friendly and work hard, the place is nice and clean and they have a cool touch screen fountain drink machine like at five guys. You honestly can't go wrong with Pepe's. read more

Ate here as a group of four. Some bites were really tasty, others were just okay. I got a tuna melt and thought it was done just right--not too greasy, not too celery-y, etc. The Western potatoes, however, looked so beautiful but then didn't have much flavor, even with some salt. The curly fries were a little better. Not much else to say. This seems like a reliable, A-OK neighborhood joint. If I lived around here, I'm sure I'd be back once every few months! read more

Working right up the street, Pepe's becomes the all-purpose go to. Huge breakfast sandwiches? Check. Overstuffed subs for lunch? Check. New York style pizza with plenty of cheese for late afternoon meetings? Check. The menu is extensive (as are the current renovations) and parking can be tricky at lunch (use the adjacent lot immediately to the north - it's also easier to make a left turn from) but this North Baltimore spot is consistent. Whether you want eat in or take-out it'll be hot and well-made. Daily specials are numerous, ranging from ziti to classic pastrami with mustard. There's definitely something on this menu for you. The pizza is good , but can be a bit greasy, so get napkins. The staff are great, and they're working hard, so make sure you say your 'please' and 'thank you'. Call ahead if you want the quick grab, because there's a breakfast and lunch rush. read more

My carryout food was either never made or given to someone else. After 30 min when I finally got my order nobody could bother apologizing for the wait. Horrible customer service read more

Came across this place as a recommendation from Michael at "A Fabric Place" right down the road. I couldn't have been more thankful. My crew and I were borderline ravenous when we arrived and it still took us a while to get through there fairly extensive menu. We ordered a few different things. The prices are great. The food is fresh. The portions are awesome. The one item that took the cake from the spread that we had were the pizza fries. I mean THOSE PIZZA FRIES were heaven. I love cheese and can be a tad particular about any type of "loaded" fries but there were baked to perfection. Friendly service also. They had a few "different" things on their menu, which I like seeing when I go to places. I'm from the DC area, but every time I go up to the fabric store, I'll be stopping by Pepe's. read more

I don't even know where to start.... I've been coming here for years. GREEK PIZZA WITH CHICKEN. Yes. Your life has no meaning without it. Sometimes I think about ordering one for myself because sharing is hard. Their house salad dressing is like crack. I'm sure I'm not the only one that wakes up in the middle of the night craving it. read more

Came to Pepe's with my cousin for lunch. Cute place however the woman taking orders was a little rude. Had the philly sandwich which was good. I would come back next time I visit. read more

Our office gives this place a TON of business and everything USED to be great until lately they've changed. The delivery guy(or at least the one who delivers in Pikesville) obviously is stressed and needs help because his attitude is VERY disrespectful! What you DON'T do when a customer ask you "Are you guys super busy because I placed my order a while ago?" is tell the customer that's been waiting for their order for almost an hour and 15 minutes "Oh well it's not my fault." The food is delicious so that keeps us ordering but if this poor attitude keeps up there are other restaurants with food just as good that we can patronize. read more

I' ve tried this place several times and each time I have been dissapointed. Tonight was the last night I will hold out hope for this place. Although, my co workers my rave about the food, I can only wonder what the hell are they eating. Everybody taste buds are different but the basics is not disputable. HOT food should be HOT. I ordered carryout. A cheesesteak, fries, and soda. The fries were warm and the sub was cold. As soon as i felt the sandwich, I knew it was not going to be good. The meat was barely warm and you can tell from the unmelted cheese. The best part of the meal was the coke varity soda machine. read more

Pepe's - Unmelted cheese. - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I don't enjoy pizza more than when I have it from here: the sauce is perfectly tangy, the cheese is gooey and classic (a tad oily at times), and the crust is medium-crispy. Having tried the various gourmet/experimental pizzas in the Baltimore metro area, I much prefer the straightforwardness of Pepes. Perhaps I wish they had an array of toppings to choose from, but each and every time I choose to order from them, I am pleased. I think Pepes succeeds in providing highly satisfying and tasty food at ridiculously reasonable prices. read more

Myself and coworkers order from here almost every week, not because of the food or the service. It's convenient. Sometimes the food is really good other times not so much. But the service is always bad. But, TODAY!!! Today was HORRIBLE. I called for takeout... asked a question.. the response was reckless, rude, indignant and ignorant. I had the phone on speak and my coworkers were "SHOOKETH" So our business will be starting out Pepe's free diet. I will starve to death before I order from them again. read more

Been going for years but may have to stop. Service has gotten horrible, people taking orders shouldn't be interacting with customers. Been going middle of the afternoon for lunch cause the parking is horrible at lunch time, the problem is I get slices that you can tell have been sitting for awhile a long while. Fries mixed new hot fries with the old cold fries. Just not good anymore. Yesterday, one of the kitchen guys goes in the bathroom with one of those disposable food service plastic gloves on one hand, comes out 2 minutes later still wearing the glove. How is it possible to have washed his hands wearing that glove, disgusting read more

The woman running the line/counter is literally yelling at customers and the line cooks. Like a freak. Food is coming out wrong. Customers walking out. I'm waiting 30 mins now for a cold turkey sandwich. Not the endearing cute friendly Pepes of 40 years ago. read more

Nice atmosphere to sit and relax in. However, recently if I sit near the restrooms I can smell the commercial antiseptic cleaner or air "freshener" they're using in there. Can't eat in those seats anymore. Food is decent, but prices have been raised twice I think since the renovation and some items are overpriced in my opinion. (and in some cases, the increases are not on the overhead menu) It's hard to get lunch and get out of there for under $10 or $12.00. It helps that you get free refills on drinks, but I can't leave a tip if I'm going to be charged these prices. Seems they're catering to the private school families now and have forgotten about Medfield middle-class residents who aren't so far away. read more

What a great breakfast ...loved the waffles...service was excellent...Ryan assured our table never needed anything. This is my new favorite!

Fantastic Food. Outstanding. The only thing PePe needs to do is get rid of all the women cashiers and just keep the guys. Not sure what qualifications the women cashiers have they are usually not that nice. There used to be a tall blonde ponytail she was evil as hell spit in my drink. One time the black girl cashier ripped her mask off screamed at me that the price of the food that was so crazy. Like she's got so much anger. Wtf. read more

I visited to buy chicken and I looked in the glass case and saw the chicken was old and dried up. I like legs and wings so I asked if there was freshly made chicken and was told not for an hour. I ordered a 4 piece and asked for two breasts because of the old legs and wings and the breasts did not look the same...I was told they could not do that in a very nasty tone. I said well the chicken you have is not good and they acknowledged and still refuse to sell me the chicken. I feel that was poor customer service and someone needs to tell management that no matter how good your food is if you don't have good customer service your business won't last. I live less than a minute and I will never eat there again. Also when I call they leave me in hold for a very long time which I also feel is not very good customer service. read more

Pepe's - Dried up old chicken from Pepes Pizza on Falls Rd - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We have been ordering from Pepe's several times a month for years. It's a great family option. The food is consistently good and a good value. The staff hustles to get your order right. We love their pizza and the mix your own flavor fountain drinks. Breakfast platters are traditional and filling. read more

Myself and another gentleman were waiting for a Pick up order. Lady behind the counter stated "ok get in line like you're in kindergarten". This was very disrespectful and totally unnecessary being that it was only 2 of us waiting. They definitely need better customer service. read more

In a town full of good pizza joints and sub shops, Pepe's really stands out. Their pizza has never disappointed--nice chewy crust covered in a pleasantly sweet tomato sauce and plenty of cheese and fresh toppings. The gigantic subs are even better--the Italian cheese steak (my favorite) is stuffed to the gills with steak, mozzarella, onions, peppers, and marinara. I've also eaten breakfast there a few times and have never been disappointed with the quality of the food. If there is one complaint I have about Pepe's, however, it's the eat-in service. Maybe I'm just ordering the wrong menu items, but EVERY time I've tried to eat-in I end up waiting 15-20 minutes to get my food. On two separate occasions, I've had to watch members of my party finish their meals before I was even been served my food. Granted, the place can get busy, but there really isn't any excuse that type of wait in a short-order diner. Fortunately, carry-out has never been a problem so I guess I'll just stick with that. read more

Best crabcakes for the price in Baltimore and beyond. Fried or broiled deliciously large crabcake, multiple topping and bread options, for a very reasonable price. Agree with other reviewers that the counter staff could be a little more cheerful, but with a good sandwich all is forgiven. read more

I've been going to Pepe's for years. I can honestly say we've never been disappointed. Their pizza is amazing! Crab cakes are perfect. Great quality for fast food. read more

This place was great. I went there to use the rest room initially. My dog was having surgery and the vet wouldn't let me use theirs. My husband and I were hungry and when we saw their menu and the number of people picking up food we decided to eat. We both had double burgers and country fries. The burgers were better then five guys burgers. The were also bigger. The staff was great and the service always outstanding. We will definitely eat here again. read more

I'm not sure the name of the gentleman who answers the phone and takes orders, but I love his great customer service and kind voice. He is very polite and takes an order with no issues. He makes it very easy to place an order. The chicken wraps here are very good, and my kids love the kids meals. Two thumbs up! read more

My wife and I have been going to Pepe's many many times and were always satisfied and well fed But today Saturday, 19 November was a disaster.. My wife ordered a salad and I ordered a Hot Beef with fries and gravy. After waiting 25 minutes I went to the counter and asked about my order and was told the kitchen was backed up. I saw a lot of food piled up on the counter and asked them to look. My order Number was 13 and they were calling 22, 23, 24.The pulled my order and gave it to me. The hot Beef was stone cold. I asked them to heat it and after waiting another 8 to 10 minutes asked for my order. They gave it to me and by then i said put a cover on it and I'll take it home which I did. I don't know what caused the backup as the kitchen personnel were working hard as usual but several other customers were also complaining. Anyhow after my bitching We will be back. Love you guys. read more

The food is okay. It's nothing special, but for the price and convenience, I return time and again - and each time ask myself if it's worth it. The people that work here are just straight-up rude. Cranky, crabby, grouchy. They make the Soup Nazi look like Kermit the Frog. Beyond that, their bacon, egg, and cheese on toast is pretty good and consistent for a fast breakfast - and reasonably priced at $4. Their pizza is decent. Typical carry-out pizza. I will give them props for the Greek salad though - crispy lettuce and lot's of feta. Just go in with a thick skin - you'll need it! read more

Acceptable food for a standard pizza sub shop. The pizza has a sweet sauce, crust is a bit thick for my liking. The subs are not huge, nor overstuffed but they appear to be made from quality "Sysco" type food. Did not appear to be freshly sliced deli. I have tried the cheese steak, turkey and cold cut and all are par with average eateries. The Salads are what really good. They are stacked with tasty veggies and overloaded. The new look of the place is coming together, although it seems like it is taking years. The service is horrible. You get the feeling that if you are a regular they may treat you well but if you walk in off the street, forget about it. They are almost angry to serve you. They are very unfriendly when we called in an order and the kid on the phone actually said "oh my god what do you want?", after giving him my family's order, he dropped the phone and someone else picked it up and I had to order again. When I have been in the small ordering space the 5 plus employees behind the counter seem to be more interested in talking to each other than assisting the 12 plus people waiting with me. You sorta have to force them to take your order. One poor service experience would be one thing but bad experiences have happened multiple times to me and it is why we no longer eat there. We go to Vito's and get good service and great food. I think these issues may just be a 'Mt Washington attitude' as I have experienced similar arrogance/lack of service at other Mt Washington eateries. A shame cause I live in Mt Washington. read more

great food great service food is always on cooked correctly and always a pleasant experience

Best pizza in town! The ham pizza is a personal favorite, but the veggie options are all on point and very fresh. The fried chicken and Greek fare are also very tasty. Not sure why there are so many spotty reviews! Have never had an issue with food quality or customer service. Highly recommend. read more
