Visiting family on the island, we found ourselves in search for something warm and delicious to satisfy our dietary needs for the night. With little consideration we found our way to the pepperoni grill and thank goodness we did. This little pizza house on the beach is the only place to get food on the island and with good reason.... Nobody else can compete. I've had the luxury of stopping in a few times over the years and it's always a favorite for my family and I. The ambiance? Quaint. Their chicken parm? Phenomenal. Their individual slices of pizza are some of the best I've had since moving out of my hometown in New Jersey. read more

My, Yelp Elite, sister Devon E made the correct observation this year during our annual family beach trip, that I had not updated my review for Pepperoni Grill in a long long time. In fact, my review was nearly 10 years old! Being that we come here at least once every year, it's high time to state what the restaurant is now, versus what is used to be. My rating hasn't changed, but the place has significantly. As Oak Island has grown, the economy has changed, and a pandemic has come and gone, there have been necessary changes here. There is no longer a frequent shopper program rewarding those who come often, much to my Dad's dismay who spends half his time on OKI. There is no longer any indoor seating. The shift overall has gone almost exclusively to take-out. It makes sense. This is every family's favorite place to order pizza on the island, and it's not close. During peak season and dinner hours, expect to wait 1-2 hours for your order to be completed, so plan ahead. They churn out pizzas as fast as they can and it still isn't fast enough. If you want fast, order from one of the chains... but know, this is the best available pizza shop. They're doing the best they can. The prices are in line with just about any other pizza place I have been to lately that isn't a major chain. The quality of the pizza is the best in the area, but probably not close to the best you have ever had. It's solid pizza, made locally, serving the needs of beach goers everywhere. At lunch, there's a two slice and drink special. There are certain italian meals on special on certain days. The garlic knots are pretty darn good. All and all, manage your expectations, and you won't be let down. Be patient enough to wait, and be rewarded with a better pizza. I will continue to be a regular customer when I'm around OKI. read more

Ordered 3 pizzas. White, pepperoni and steak. Received the first 2 and a vegetable pizza, not steak. Had to go back to pickup the steak pizza which we were hoping was going to be better than the others and it wasn't. Their pizzas are very bland, unfortunately. I read the reviews so was excited to try it. Won't be going back and don't recommend. read more

Fantastic and friendly service! Food delicious. We ordered a cheese pizza and a hot Italian Stallion hero sandwich, garden salad with ranch. Received complimentary garlic knots that were delicious. Excellent food! Highly recommend. read more

Typical pizza spot at the beach. Located along the second row from the beach with limited outdoor seating. Parking could be a challenge. There are two entrances... one for dining in and another for carry out. Tons of people were carrying out food. Perfect for the beach. Wide variety on menu - pizza, subs, Stromboli, calzones, wings, pasta, salads, etc! Tons of options. If you dine in you will get complimentary garlic knots that are insanely delicious! Like you will want to lick the little boat they come in. We ordered BBQ chicken pizza and a cheesesteak with fried onions and no bread. The cheesesteak was just meh. Wouldn't recommend. The pizza was fantastic- highly recommend. Get as many flavor combos as you can. Super thin crust and chewy. The employees are super nice and friendly. The cashier explained the menu and options once she asked if we have ever been here before. Just a terrific little beach pizza joint! read more

This location is closed. Five other vehicles pulled in and left. That was in ten minutes

An OKI staple for us! The food is good, and they're usually fast. It's gotten expensive, but still worth it. The wings are also pretty solid. I love that they'll deliver to the beach. read more

We got takeout pizza. The pizza was really good and their wings were very crispy and tasty. I highly recommend them.

We got there right when they opened and were greeted in a very friendly way. The service was top notch. The lunch special which is two slices of pizza and a soda for eight dollars is one heck of a deal! The pizza was great and piping hot! Every order comes with a side of garlic knots, which were hot and fresh! I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and the serving size was huge. It was tasty and there were plenty for leftovers. Will definitely be a repeat customer when we are on the island again! Thanks for the good memories! Kudos to you. read more

I honestly haven't gotten anything bad from this place. Good food, good service and good people:) Friendly environment, the place was overall very hospitable. read more

The burger was so good and amazing. I kissed my wife for the first time in three years. If this burger leaves, I will never come back with my family. I'm so disappointed that this burger is only a weekend special. Please keep the Mediterranean and smash burger read more

First of all, I saw a cat outside and I thought that was pleasant. The service was really fast and the food was pretty good. also even though the seating area was outside we didn't have a problem with bugs. read more

We stopped by in the off-season, so no lines or waiting -- a nice perk! It wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside in the ocean breeze, and there's no indoor seating, but taking it to go worked out just fine. We tried the Johnny Supremo, which came loaded with toppings, plenty of sauce (which I love!), and a great crust. We'll definitely be returning! read more

The is good, however the cheese steak is not the best. It's just sand-which meat, it's okay not the best cheese steak I've had at all. Don't come in here with high expectations for this. read more

Pepperoni Grill - Their food is good, I would just not recommend the cheese steak. It's just sandwich meat, still okay just not the best. - Pizza Near Me - Oak Island, North Carolina

Ordered plain cheese pizza, side of ranch, and order of spicy garlic wings. Everything was great! Great crust on the pizza, flavorful sauce & cheese! Wings were also good, maybe coulda been cooked an extra minute. Homemade ranch was outstanding! Definite recommend! read more

I've ordered pizza three times from this place and it keeps getting worse. I will never order anything from this place again. The last pizza I ordered had hardly any cheese and I thought I was eating cardboard. read more

Terrible customer service ordered ahead by 90 mins got email saying it was ready - after standing in line for 30mins - was told it hadn't even gone in the oven! Didn't offer me a free anything for the inconvenience- don't relay on them to fill the order on time - look for another place - big disappointment read more

Great lunch specials and the fried pickles are a great treat anytime So place your order and get some read more

We were only on Oak Island for a week and this is the third (4th, if you include the pizza and sodas the boys got while out one day). We have gotten their pizza which is awesome and their GF crust is 10 out of 10 and now we had wings and Stromboli. The wings were decent (mild, bbq and honey mustard) but nothing special. The mild are super mild to the point of not having much taste. The Stromboli was good. Got the original and the kickin chicken for Stromboli and while it was good and tasty it seemed like it could have been cooked a bit longer. Still doughy and hard to eat. All in all we are glad we found this place because we ate here 3 times over the course of the 7 days we were in town so...that says something. Definitely worth stopping and getting some food. read more

We had great pizza, calzones and salad while on vacation. Quick pick up time 20-30 min. The house salad with balsamic dressing was amazinggggggg. The best salad ever. read more

Pizza and the beach are two of my favorite things. So to have them together is just the cherry on top! Pepperoni grill has a wide selection of your typical pizza toppings. We enjoyed the large hand tossed pepperoni pizza with extra pepperonis, it was delicious. It was hot and stayed hot throughout our 10min golf cart ride. If you're looking for pizza, this is a good stop. They have a outside window for to go orders and pickup, with tables for them those who are waiting. Definitely helps with the turnover of patriots, and makes it easy to pickup in your beach clothes after a long day at the beach. read more

First time customer, ordered a pizza and garlic knots. The knots were hard as rocks, so stale and the pizza wasn't much better.

We had cheese and pepperoni pizza that are pretty basic. We also ordered green bell peppers and bacon pizza, spaghetti meatballs with soupy tomato sauce and the same with eggplant parmesan very watery tomato sauce. They were okay for beach food and we ate here because other pizza places weren't open. read more

Just ok. If you're in a pinch and have no other choice it's an option. Pizza was not fresh and hot. More like lukewarm. Greek salad was better. Cheese sticks were the typical pre-made frozen BS you get in the store. read more

We always try to support local pizza places first before resulting to the big brands. Based on the high ratings for Pepperoni Grill, I felt confident in our dinner choice. Unfortunately, the hype did not live up here. We ordered the Cheesesteak Pizza. For $26... I'd expect much more than what we got. Crust was stiff and burnt tasting, cumulatively there was not much meat on the pizza at all, and the veggies were lackluster. I've probably had frozen pizzas that were on par or even better. I'd recommend you save a few bucks and order elsewhere for dinner. I hear they have good lunch specials, though. read more

Good prices, decent pizza/stromboli's/calzones, and friendly staff. Cant give it more than 4 stars because it's nothing special, but definitely worth the stop if you're hoping for some quick cheap pizza while in OKI read more

I ordered a pizza with mushrooms, onions and black olives. Each topping was $3. You couldn't even see any onions and there was hardly any olives or mushrooms. The pizza didn't taste terrible but definitely not worth the price. Sebby's does a Much better job! Pics of each read more

Pepperoni Grill sits right across from the beach. It offers a variety of pizzas, salads, sandwiches, stromboli, and calzones. While it's not on the menu, they do offer a pizza crust that is gluten-free. It's a medium-sized crust that is thin and crispy. I quite enjoyed it! My hubby ordered the "Double, Double Stromboli". The dish was the perfect size for sharing, and was stuffed full of melted cheese and pepperoni. He was very impressed with it! We ordered at the counter, and our food was brought to our table outside. We enjoyed the company of a friendly cat and a gorgeous view while we waited on our food to be prepared. I loved having a gluten-free option where I completely did not expect it!!! read more

Everything about Pepperoni Grill is amazing!! Stopped by here to have dinner with a friend, got 2 pizzas and a calzone. Food was massive portions and delicious! Thankfully we have some left over for tomorrow! The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. While there is no inside seating (I'm an outside sitter anyway), the patio seating is plentiful and offers a great atmosphere. 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

This is our 2nd time at Pepperoni Grill, the first being over 4 years ago. It's a good little pizza place on OKI. Service and food were good. Pizza slices are huge! No dining room so patrons eat outside on the deck which is nice except for the flies which come with the territory if eating outdoors. The drink cups are super small so you have to refill frequently so that could be improved upon. Definitely not the cheapest pizza either but worth going to especially over a chain store. Would recommend. read more

Excellent!!!! We had a wonderful meal. The homemade ranch was amazing!! We will definitely return here on our next trip.

I ordered a take out margarita pizza and it was hot and delicious! It was ready when the said it would be. The crust was thin and crispy. I would order from here again. read more

Every time I come to OKI, I know I am going to get pizza and other delicious Italian treats from Pepperoni Grill, sometimes I go more than once! My friends and I coined our common group phrase of "snack pizza" to justify ordering pizza from Pepperoni Grill knowing dinner was only a couple hours away as it's yummy. Who doesn't always want good pizza? My extended family from NY comes down every summer for a week to OKI and they always want to order take out from here on the first night they arrive. The best part is they are notorious for over ordering so we have lots of left overs (their pizza holds up great hot or cold the next day) and they get some of everything. We got pizzas, salads, subs, wings, and their famous garlic knots. Dude the garlic knots are a MUST order whatever you are getting. They are soft, buttery, and so garlicky. There's always a good amount of garlic sauce at the bottom of the pan for extra pizza crust dipping . Their pizzas are consistently delicious and well prepared. Nice and cheesy and they never skimp on toppings. I've enjoyed some of their speciality pizzas as well as classic combos. So happy to have a good pizza option on the island. As the take out boxes says "delicious pizza." Additionally, I am impressed by their salads. Unlike some places where it's like just lettuce, theirs are full of fresh veggies and an appreciated roughage to offset all the carbs a bit. The wings are solid, not the best but they are a pizza joint after all. We got both the chicken and eggplant Parmesan subs. These were good looking subs. The bread was nicely toasted and you could see the nice baked marks on the cheese. Yum. A great local joint, run by a very friendly staff. Prices are good and the food is even better. read more

Good food at a good value, and exceptional service, they brought my cousin a free slice simply because one of his came out of the oven slightly burnt. Most likely a family joint. If you're in Oak island, check them out! read more
