Peppino’s Pizza

Horrible pizza bad tasting oily greasy would not recommend bad customer service I w would not go here try white house fown the street much better quality

I’ve been coming to Carbondale a few times a year for nearly a decade to vacation and visit with friends in the valley. I never fail to stop in to Peppino’s at some point during my trip. Clearly, I love the food here. I’ve never once been treated rudely (as suggested in other reviews) or with anything other than a cool willingness to just give me my beer and pizza or delicious (and simple. and giant.) Greek salad.
I sincerely look forward to each time I get to treat myself at what I consider a Carbondale staple.

I really did not like the pizza at Peppino’s. I thought the sauce was downright gross. This isn’t really «New York Style» — it’s too thick for that, but too thin to be anything much else. However, it is nice that they have a unique selection of beers on tap (what up, Rifle IPA!) and it is reasonably priced (especially for the Roaring Fork Valley!) — so I’d give it 2 stars. Also soft serve ice cream with sprinkles is a nice throwback. Maybe the sandwiches are better? But I would not do the pizza again.

The entire town of Carbondale is a nice find. This cute, little mountain town is way ahead of the curve when it comes to organic foods, recycling, and living green. They’ve also got some great pizza.
From the outside, it looks a bit scary, and it really doesn’t improve much one you get inside, but the product they serve is well worth overlooking a few discrepancies. They have a pretty complete menu, but all we had was the pizza, and we loved it.
They serve the pizza by the slice, or by the pie. There are a couple of pizzas already cooked and waiting for you at the counter. You can pick the slice you like, have them warm it up in the over, and they’ll bring it over to your table when it’s done. That’s what we did.
We found the crust to be exceptional, and we felt it must be fresh-​made on the site. It was the New York Style crust, but you can get the thicker crusts if that’s what you want. The crust had a good flavor, excellent texture, and just felt good under the toppings. The sauce was perfect. It complemented both the crust and the toppings, and probably would have made a fine pizza with just those two ingredients. The pizzas we ordered were two slices of Margherita, (there’s is more tomato than basil), a slice of veggie combo, a slice of mushroom, and a slice of cheese. All were outstanding, and made us happy we chose this place.
The staff were all friendly and accommodating, but, on the down side, the place is very small, (there are a couple of tables outside), and they could do a better job of keeping the place clean. This is not the type of place one would go to for a sit down meal with family and friends, but, for a quick meal on the go, it is perfect.

A Carbondale classic. Still the best new York style pizza around and some great sandwiches as well.
