Great experience at Zeppa's for a slice of pepperoni. Loved the atmosphere and the homey feel! Our only shock was the cost of the cannoli, which was $8. Wowza! Very delicious though; a well-balanced lemon flavor with your other traditional cannoli flavors. Service was friendly and warm. Hubs and I are pizza connoisseurs and this ticked all of the boxes. read more

Based on yelp reviews we placed a takeout order at Zeppa's at our last visit to MDI. It was a huge hit

Amazing pizza we ordered a plain cheese and the perfect storm, the crust was perfect, it's hard to find slices this good in nyc. The staff are amazing and will Be back again!!! read more

Stopped in on a Friday evening and had a large New York styled pizza. The girl at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The pizza dough was so good. I could hall have eaten just the crust. The large pieces made it perfect to fold and eat. Excellent New York style pizza. If we lived closer we would be back all the time! read more

We were driving back from Bar Harbor and wanted something cheap, casual, and fast for dinner. I saw the reviews for Zeppa's, which were unbelievably high (which made me feel somewhat skeptical), and pizza sounded good after a road trip, so we decided to swing by. We called to place an order for dine-in, which in retrospect was a bit of a weird request, but we were in a rush, and they accommodated that. We knew we were in for a treat the minute we walked in. The cozy ambiance, the board games, and the smell of fresh dough made me quickly understand what made Zeppa's special. It's basically a third place, a community spot. Our pizza was ready, and we accompanied it with a local beer (they had quite the variety). We ordered a large white pizza and added spicy Italian sausage. Although my husband and I are not the biggest fans of NY-style pizza (we prefer thicker ones), that was hands down the best pizza we've had in Maine. The dough was absolutely insane, it had the perfect amount of cheese and oil, and they didn't skimp on the spicy sausage! The staff was also lovely, checking on us throughout our meal. We devoured the whole pie, but I'm blaming that on the hike we had done earlier in the day. I think we just found the perfect casual dinner spot for our Acadia getaways. read more

Great place to find delicious NY style pizza in Ellsworth. Excellent customer service with a welcoming vibe.

The pizza here is really solid. The crust is nicely thin and crisp, and the sauce has great flavor. Definitely a great place if you're looking for a good slice. read more

Why Zeppa's doesn't carry a solid 5.0 rating is absolutely outrageous and should be investigated immediately! Over the course of nearly 80-years, I've had pizza from coast to coast and border to border, and what we enjoyed at Zeppa's tonight deserves a hands-down, top-shelf 5.0 rating. 14" NY style Pepperoni & Sausage for me, while my wife savored a delish Mediterranean salad with chilled fresh lobster. We'd be here 2-3 times a month if we weren't living in North Carolina! Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere in this family-owned pizzeria. read more

Visiting Maine from NY, I was excited to try "NY" pizza ... in Maine. I was a little shook-ith on the first attempt they were sold out of pies! Cray cray. So we had to dine another day. In person this place was packed, a smaller dining room but it's a pizza joint not a full blown restaurant so we took our stuff to go. The dining room was fun, wooden, and had lots of games a nice touch. It also told a little history of the place and how it came to be. So we were entertained as we waited. Only 20 min which was nice and there's some vegan options. We tried the meatball garlic knots, definitely a good choice and a margharita pie. Not to shabby, I would come back. Slightly disgruntled an item when ordering was left off but that's sort of our own fault for not noticing on the receipt. read more

I can see why they are getting such good reviews. It's not like Italy but it's pretty darn good!! Great friendly service and warm welcoming dining area, not too large. Cozy. Price was reasonable. 24 for a two topping large!! 8 slices of New York size... will be back read more

Good little pizza place. New York style. Crust and sauce are very good. Friendly staff. Prices are pizza perfect. When it's fresh and hot, not any BETTER pizza in Ellsworth! The only reason is doesn't get five stars is that I'm a bit of a pizza snob... and perfection in pizza is very rare. read more

Excellent pizza especially the crust! Crispy! Nice setting and good service. The times they are open are confusing! Tried a couple of times and they were closed! read more

This place offers pizza in a small setting with dog-based decor. The options they had out for slices on the go were mostly non-vegetarian, but a slice of cheese was within my ambit. Their cheese delivered robust flavor with a crispy crust dusted with cornmeal or something like it and a hint of basil on top. If I wanted to order a whole pizza, I would have had abundant options. There's not a ton of non-pizza options, but I don't expect it in a place like this. The location is a good stop along the way to Bar Harbor, and having spotted it on the way in, I was happy to have stopped there on the way out. read more

Ordered for pick up, they said it would be about an hour and that was fine. Our order was ready when they said it would be ready. The pizza was excellent, my wife said the mini cannoli was awesome (when I picked up pizza, the lady that works there said she just made the mini cannoli, so I wonder if they make them to order). I liked the garlic knots, my wife did not. If we are in the area again, we will be back. read more

Tasty, NY style pizza. We got the loaded one and had leftovers for the next few days. They had a nice variety of beer and ciders, and a few choices for wine. They are clearly avid dog lovers and that theme plays out all through the small restaurant read more

Why haven't we been here before now ?!? Our loss, but now we've found it. Yea. Very tasty thin crust pizza- perfect amounts of sauce and toppings. There were several pizzas in the counter case ready to go as slices. I LOVED the white pizza- light and delicious. The meatball pizza was also very good. Super friendly service, indoor seating great for individuals and families. Homemade cannolis for dessert. Parking on the street. read more

If i could sum Zeppa's up in one word it would be unforgettable. The kind lady working the counter deserves a gagillion dollars. But for the food the best part, it was infinitely delicious. as i put the pizza in my mouth my taste buds danced the most beautiful of dances and my stomach frolicked with the fullness and warmness of the slice. The ambiance. homey and wholesome. would i recommend, yes. Zeppa's is a holy relic of the new world and i'll be damned if anyone else says diffrent. the feeling i felt were in super uber amazing. thank you i owe my life to you. read more

Fantastic pizza! The atmosphere was nice and cozy too. The service was friendly and prompt

Visiting the area from North Jersey and randomly went to Zeppa's as we walked through town. WOW, the pizza was great (from an admitted pizza snob) and the Zeppa Pizzeria family are wonderful people. The NY/ Bronx touches are subtle and endearing. read more

This was our first stop when we rolled into Ellsworth, and after having lobster for just about every meal, we were ready for something different. Being Italian, we were excited to try this family-owned pizzeria--and it didn't disappoint! My family had an 18" pepperoni and it was great. Oh and the garlic knot meatball sliders! So good! The pizza was made with excellent ingredients and had great flavor. I had a gluten-free pepperoni pizza, and it was honestly the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. Just a heads-up: you seat yourself and order at the counter, which we didn't realize at first. The setup is a little unusual, but it works. It's a small spot--great for takeout or a casual dine-in meal. The staff was friendly, and overall, it was a nice change of pace with some truly delicious pizza. read more

Great local family run restaurant serving NY style pizza by the slice and whole pizza. Service is friendly and quick. It is family friendly and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Just ate here twice over the holidays. Definitely some of the best pizza I've had in quite a while. We ordered by the slice (Pepperoni, Sausage, White, and Cheese). A very good New York style pizza. Large slices and lots of toppings. Ambiance is rustic, fun and charming, and the service is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and will certainly return next time we're in Maine. read more

This is the best NY style pizza I have had in over three years. Hands down. These folks make the thinnest, crispiest, foldable slice I have had in Maine. The ratio of cheese and toppings is fantastic. Did I mention the friendliness of the folks who make the pizza? They were fun, attentive and extremely kid friendly. We're already making plans to make the 40 minute drive again next weekend! Update to this review-- We returned yesterday and got another perfect pizza as well as meatball sliders. Holy cow, what perfect sliders they were! The meatballs were light, flavorful and delicious. The slider buns were buttery and dusted with salty parmesan. They were a hit and are destined to become a food group in our house. read more

We ordered a white pizza with lobster, a cheese pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. All New York style done right, hot and tasty. There were plenty of toppings on all, lots of buttery lobstah on the white pizza, with the right amount of soft crust. The house pilz was a good accompaniment to the pizza, but an icy mug would have kept it cool longer. We ordered a cannoli to go for desert and it was the real deal -- creamy with the right amount of sweetness, not that stale, frozen crap lots of places try to pass off. This is small pizza parlor, with a limited number of tables which were occupied for dinner, so it's pretty cozy. The staff was courteous and attentive even though they were busy. read more

Great pizza!! The crust and sauce make or break a pizza and this place did not disappoint. We ordered some beers and wine (cold and better than expected) and enjoyed it while we waited on the pizza. We also had the Caesar salad which had a great dressing and wonderful crisp lettuce. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely recommend this place. And if you can't get a table because it is packed, get a pizza to go. You won't be disappointed read more

Had Zeppa's Pizza for lunch today. The pizza was great. We loved the way the family running it operated it. Great customer service in a really fun, clean and exceptional standalone pizza joint. Will definitely be back when in Maine again. read more

Nice, homey atmosphere. The food, though disappointed me. They ran out of salad about 2 hours before they closed. I've never experienced such a thing. The pizza was okay but flawed. The crust was neither here nor there, somewhat thin with a crunch at the bottom, but by no means actually "thin." The pie was far too salty so it was hard to distinguish the sauce, and for NY style there was less cheese, and topping, than I expected. Of course, everyone has a different taste! read more
