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

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

Zeppa's Pizza - Ellsworth Maine - Pizza Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

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

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

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

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

Zeppa's Pizza - Ellsworth Maine - Pizza Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

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

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

Zeppa's Pizza - Ellsworth Maine - Half Margehrita half Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

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

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

We are harsh critics because we're from NJ but Zeppa's was excellent! Especially the Perfect Storm slice! Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. read more

Great local spot. Friendly staff and tasty food. Seemed popular. We were lucky to find it since we were looking for an alternative to seafood. Near a nice little downtown area too. 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

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

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

Pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly! Very generous with the toppings. Everyone was friendly and provided great service!

Ordered a calzone for takeout on a Sunday night. Order was prepared quickly and was ready within 20 minutes to pickup. Calzone had good flavor and came with dipping sauce. Overall a good experience, might try the pizza next time. read more

So, it's been a minute since I've done a review (having twins will do that to you)...but, I had to get off the bench and do a review for Zeppa's. This place is stellar. We were staying at Under Canvas Acadia and wanted dinner (and something that wasn't Lobster related) that was close by, we had driven by Zeppa's a few times on our way back to Under Canvas and it just had that vibe of a place you wanted to stop in. So, we went. From the moment we walked in until the very end it was an amazing experience. We were greeted by one of the owners, who sat us promptly and brought over some games/coloring sheets for our kids. She was chatty and there were dog photos everywhere (we soon learned the place was named after their dog, Zeppa) - which the SO and I loved (as well as our kids) since were a dog family. We had the Lobster Garlic Knot, the kids ordered pizza by the slice (one cheese, one pepperoni) because we weren't sure they would be able to finish a whole pizza, even if we split it. Needless to say, my daughter went back for 2 additional slices and so did my son...my daughter even declared "This is the best pizza I've ever had", and she wasn't wrong. My wife and I did a pizza with spicy sausage and banana peppers, the pizza, crust, everything was stellar...we polished off a whole pizza (which we probably shouldn't have, but it was that good!). Both the owners (husband and wife) were awesome; super accommodating, chatty and funny. Plus, the music was on point (Outkast, Citizen Cope). Ellsworth is a charming (very small) town, but Zeppa's is the star....if you're heading to Acadia/Bar Harbor, it's a quick 5 minute detour to get to Zeppa's if you're heading in or out of town. Highly recommend making the stop. read more

Really good crust flavor. People are very nice. Make sure you call in advance as they normally have long waits..... but well worth it.

Pizza and Cesar salad was amazing!!! Service was great! I would go back if I could eat pizza everyday without gaining weight. lol

The service was fantastic - they checked on us multiple times before and throughout the meal! Family friendly spot with card games and a kids' play kitchen while you're waiting. We were there on a Monday night and they had live music. It's a small shop but our group of 8 found the one large table. Pizza was very delicious - we got large cheese and meat lovers pizzas (added banana peppers). The manager and our server Lucas were kind! read more

Stopped here randomly while passing through town and very glad we did! As a dog lover I was thrilled to find out the namesake was that of the owners' dog and he was all over the restaurant. The staff was very friendly, it was a great vibe and ambiance. We got pepperoni slices and the garlic knot slider which was delicious. I wish I could have had more of them!! They also had a nice beer selection and lots of games for kids to play. read more
