Pepperoni’s Cafe

Service was slow and I found a hair in my Eggs Benedict.

Humble little restaurant run by very nice folks! We had two great brunch entrees: huevos rancheros and the New Orleans omelet with fresh shrimp. Plus two Bloodies (they have mango mimosas, too). Also, quite a breakfast menu. It’s not really Italian, nor really Mexican, though a little of both. Excellent service, and would happily return.

So i ordered delivery… a salad & got the wrong salad. I called the place to report it. He tells me well I wrote it correctly. So I said y’all delivered it incorrectly even gave me the wrong dressing! He then questions me on what is different from the salad I received and the one I ordered. So he asks me if I want them to send the correct salad & dressing. I say yeah. He says ok just give us back the other salad! WTF?!

We sat for 10 minutes before someone came over to take our order. However, no one gave menus! I had to tell the waiter to give us menus. After our order was taken it took 45 mins to get our food. Place was not busy. Food was decent but service was awful.

This was a cute place to eat, but not the best place if you’re in a hurry or starving. The food was real good, but the service was REALLY SLOOOOW! They took way to long to greet us and give us menus. They need to work on their in going and out going order system. They would write the orders on a note pad at the table then take like ten minutes to transfer it to a thin slip of paper for the chef/​kitchen. They made people wait at the door when they had plenty of tables open, but just needed to be bused. Lastly I had more then enough time after I finished my meal to write this review and we still haven’t received our check yet.

Pepperoni’s definitely falls a little short of the New Orleans standard, but the food is definitely acceptable. Of the many things ordered I really enjoyed the «everything» pizza. I also appreciated that they gave my group coupons for free frozen yogurt across the street!

Disappointing 4 times. I am done with 2^nd chances on this place. Last stopped here for a late Saturday breakfast and we let the waitress know we were in a bit of a hurry.
First, the good… the eggs in the Omelet were fluffy and perfectly done. Also, they got us turned around and out the door in 24 minutes. Kudos.
Now the bad… the potatoes were microwaved. Seriously? That is a true no-​no in a breakfast place. There’s no excuse. Breakfast taters are cooked in batches so there should have been some ready to go. In a hurry or not, I don’t want bad food and that is just plain bad. Next, the coffee was terrible: a D. How hard is it to make a decent pot of coffee? Put this one on the owner… he buys the cheapest. Across the street at Refuel the coffee is always good to excellent, at similar prices.
So the coffee and potatoes ruined an otherwise good breakfast. Sorry for being a grump, but the management needs to know.

Excellent friendly service and delicious food! Highly recommend eating here. The fresh juice is refreshing and wonderful. We had bananas foster French toast, New Orleans omelette, and crawfish pasta — it was all very tasty!

Had a tasty California omelet and eggs Benedict, very good and great value too, Prices are very reasonable. The folks who run this place are wonderful too. I also recommend the lunch salads. It has a nice atmosphere. They deliver too :).

I soooooo want to love this place, and I do, just not for the food. It’s ok, not great. I’ve had pizza, salad and the breakfast wrap. But these people are so freakin’ nice, I always want to go back. They’re welcoming, hospitable and gave me a magazine to read when I was waiting for my order. I’ll eat here again, I’m sure.

Love love love this place! Been there a handful of times so far and it’s delicious. My favorites are the huevos rancheros and the Nutella and berry crêpe. I think most people just pass it up but it’s def a spot that you should visit. I personally think the huevos rancheros at café pepperoni are better than the place across the street (la Macarena).

Best kept secret in New Orleans! Incredibly friendly staff. Outstanding breakfast– try the eggs sardou and the banana strawberry juice! We go every weekend and have never been disappointed.

This place has solid pizza and a great brunch/​breakfast. Service is really friendly. The cheesy bread is great and their breakfast burrito is a great tasting breakfast that won’t make you have to take a nap for the rest of the afternoon. The atmosphere is not the best. It’s a bit drab, but the friendly service and good breakfast make up for it.

Very tasty breakfast, open on Mardi Gras morning. Huevos rancheros surprisingly tasty (and we’re from California). Also the specialty crêpe was delicious. Skip the mimosa over priced and under sized. Over all, quite good place

This was a great spot to stop and have breakfast on a Monday morning. The staff is very nice and our meals tasted great. There is a noticeable difference when a restaurant uses fresh ingredients. I had an omelette that could have used a bit more sausage, but it was tasty. My wife had bananas foster French toast that I really enjoyed finishing it for her. They offer fresh fruit smoothies and make a good Bloody Mary.

Good delivery deal. Had a large veggie which came with a 2 liter of sofa and dessert chocolate cake for $ 17. The pizza got here quick (Carrolton and Sycamore) and was pretty damn tasty. Pizza and Notre Dame gong down made for a great dinner!

I truly love the folks at Pepperoni’s, and the food is pretty good, too!
We used to balk at going here because they’d plaster our door with fliers all too frequently, but I finally took some visiting guests to get breakfast. This restaurant has consistent food and consistent service– both of which are excellent!
The waiters are always kind and attentive. I can be a real stickler for service and this place has won me over. The food is well-​priced and tasty. The menu has a wide variety– not just pizzas, but the paninis are great, too! I like the Masterpiece Pizza and the Chicken Caprese panini.
Breakfast is also awesome, and it’s rocking to have an easy breakfast in this neighborhood that isn’t crowded all the time. Nutella Crêpe is awesome, the Bananas Foster French Toast is good (although sweet and carb-​coma inducing!), and they serve a solid Huevos Rancheros.
I’ve been pleased with all of my food orders. Although I haven’t done it yet, the concept of having waffles delivered to my house is enticing.
Don’t miss out on ordering a special drink. Raspberry Tea is remarkable, and the Mango Lemonade is to die for. We’ve also brought our own wine to cork and they’re happy to accommodate!
I like this place. I like coming by and I love bringing people to it. A+, I hope they do well since they are on the wrong-​way of a one-​way street and parking could be hard for patrons– I’d recommend parking in the lot across from China Orchid/​Walgreens, or behind the building in the meter spots.

We ended up eating here because Refuel was over crowded. We walked into an empty restaurant and were kinda skeptical about our decision. Hunger pains ruled so we had a seat and took our chances.
I had a breakfast panini subbed sausage for the ham. Imo the bread could have been crispier but the eggs and sausage were yummy. Some of the best grits I have had though. The roasted potatoes were a let down as they were simply under salted hash browns.
The food was a pleasant surprise. The service was decent. They definitely tried. The manager lady came and brought us 2 Glamour magazines and a week old Where Yat magazine and put them on the table. We didn’t care for that too much as none of us were there to read Glamour magazine at brunch.
Last complaint was the dubstep and edm that was playing. Way too early in the am to be dropping the bass. Not too mention we were slightly hungover. I’d probably go back again as an option 3 if I’m looking for a quick bite with no wait.

Came here for a quick lunch with my girlfriend on a whim. We got breadsticks to start, and they were good — freshly baked with a good sauce, and a ton of them. But her chicken caesar wrap and my chicken caprese panini were somewhat disappointing. The pita used in the wrap was not good, and they didn’t use romaine lettuce, so the lack of crunch left something to be desired. And they forgot the tomatoes on my panini (not that I’m a big fan of them anyway). Our fresh squeezed lemonades were very sugary, and the whole meal seemed a little too expensive.
We will likely not be back.

good location + ok good = place to go when you need to eat and everything else is packed
My boyfriend and I came here during the rain after going to 3 other places that were closed. We were starving and he had heard the place was good. I ordered Hot Chocolate and that was very good. We then started with the Mushroom Bruschetta which was not at all what we expected it to be. It was super rich and creamy on top of English muffin like bread. It was almost what I expect eggs Benedict to be like, rich and heavy. He had a Caprese panini which they made without the meat and I had pancakes. His was good but mine wasn’t so hot. When butter was placed on them the butter didn’t melt one bit. They tasted a bit like the pancakes that come out of the freezer section of the store. My boyfriend ate the rest of mine and he liked them.
Not sure we would go back but good to know there is a local stop that will always have seating inside and a place to get a hot coco!
