Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My experience at Pepe in Grani pizzeria was overall good, although with some negative notes. Despite a Reservation made one month in advance, we had to wait about 40 minutes for a table, despite it being a weekday and there being six people.
The appetizers, cones and stuffed fried pizza, were good but not extraordinary, especially the one with mozzarella, ham, cherry tomatoes and basil, simple and a bit anonymous. The pizzas, however, were more satisfying: the "Nero Fumè" was tasty but a little too oily, probably because of the sausage; the "Scarpetta" really good.
The dessert, a pistachio cheesecake, stood out for being different from the usual version with pistachio cream, offering a pleasant surprise.
The bill, however, was quite high: 30 euros per person, considering we drank only water and a Coke.

I'll say right away that the pizzas are excellent. But the service leaves much to be desired. You always get the impression that the waiters say “ hurry up”. In addition, there were six of us, three pizzas arrived, after 2/3 minutes another 2 and after 5 minutes the last one arrived. Sweets are coming and cutlery isn't there. We had to ask two separate waiters. In short, if you want to charge more than twice as much as a normal pizzeria, the quality of the product certainly counts, but the service can not be so neglected and rushed. Half an appetizer, pizza and dessert, 4 bottles of water, a glass of wine and 5 33cl beers (which incidentally costs 6.50) we paid 39 euros each.

To get to the pizzeria, we passed in a narrow and very slippery Vico (I was going to fall twice). Great pizzas. I got their classic wrong daisy, delicious but it was almost the same as a normal daisy. All good but doubtful. I went to eat in many well-known pizzerias, but this is the first time I have ever paid a 15% service fee. Not even in Sorrento. It's not worth it.

I went to peppercorns as a stop on a trip to southern Italy from Rome. We had booked a table on the Belvedere Terrace about 3 weeks earlier. Once arrived (on time at 10.30 pm), we wait outside the venue. After about 45 minutes of waiting and our insistence, the girl who manages reservations and entrances tells us that “by mistake” our table had been assigned to people who did not have the right and alternatively they were preparing the table in the veranda. Meanwhile, we were not provided with any other solution or offered a drink while waiting (which would have been welcome). After refusing the table on the veranda, after another 10-15 min we were allowed to take possession of the table, almost 1h after the Reservation Time. Once seated, we sensed a bit of rudeness from the waiters, as if we had behaved in who knows what way. For example, we waited for water for about 20 min. The food is good and quality, but still for 50 euros each (tasting menu + drinks) in my opinion it is not worth the trip or the price. As if that were not enough, the bill comes with an error and about 10 euros more. Obviously the price is adjusted at the checkout after pointing it out. At the checkout then the boy asks us how the experience went and we explain all the various problems and the treatment immediately. Bottom line, we're not even offered coffee. Outrageous service, good but not great pizza, 50 euros (for the cheapest food in the world) to be treated worse than in any tavern from 20 euros per person. Not to see you again.

I state that I have been to Pepe a dozen times considering it one of the best pizzerias in Italy.
Yesterday's experience simply disappointing.
The service charge of 15% of the total bill is shameful. On 130 euros account we paid 20 euros service. Never seen such a thing in any restaurant or pizzeria in Italy.
One already travels more than 100 km to come and eat a pizza and then you also find the surplus on the bill, the more you spend and the more you pay for service.
Moreover, such an expensive price for the service is not even measured by the quality of the same. Endless waiting despite the reservation, pizzas that are forgotten by the command.
Customer attention equal to 0.
The pizza is good, but the critical issues related to waiting, price, service cost and place, do not make it an experience that deserves to be relived.
Total disappointment.

Bad service, disaster
Last night I went to eat pizza with my family. After 1 hour and 20 minutes of travel and 15 minutes of waiting outside the room, they made us sit in a room adjacent to the ovens.
We ate pizza, very good as always, gasping, suffering from the heat because they said that the air conditioner in that room could not cool well... (for me it was off) on the other hand I took a shower, because water dripped from the ceiling, even in the dishes. A couple of waiters told us that if we wanted all the comforts we would have to book the tasting room... where clearly you pay more, as if what we were eating, instead, we were being offered! We asked to speak to Mr. Pepe more than once and to more than one waiter, but he never showed up. We have been his customers for many years and I have never had such rough service and customer care, but not by the waiters, but by the Owner of the place. I don’t know if I will go back 👎

Visited in October 2024 with friends and returned as a couple in November 2024, I reconfirm my judgment on this pizzeria and the master pizza maker Franco Pepe.
In this cozy, quaint and located in the village of Caiazzo, you experience a pizza of a higher level. All the pizzas we tasted were studied in detail, with completely new flavor combinations and/or revisited classics. Selected ingredients, of first quality, of Caserta origin. Dough at the top, very light, well leavened, just think that in 5 we ate 12 fried cones, 8 pizzas, 8 sweet fried cones and sweet pizza strips and we went out anyway not annoyed or weighed down at all.
Waitstaff very courteous and helpful, can help and guide you in the choices; very fast service once you enter. You need to book a little in advance from the platform on the site, however, fortunately, without the hassle of having to enter credit cards.
Moving on to the bill, you certainly spend a little more than a pizzeria of a medium level, but it is also true that you eat at a decidedly higher level than a pizzeria of a medium level. Service equal to 15% of the bill (I think) and included in receipt.
Small off-topic note, I find it very nice that Maestro Franco Pepe wanted to invest in the place where he was born and for which he feels a sense of belonging rather than relaunching himself in more central and touristic places.

My Reservation was for 7:15 pm and on time they made us sit down. Definitely recommended shifts in the opening hours of the evening at
In order to avoid subsequent flooding.
The quality of the raw materials is exceptional. The pizza is obviously excellent, but beyond any description are the fried courses, both savory and sweet, in fact the fried is light tasty and special in every version proposed. Also the beers offered are many interesting and absolutely worth trying. The doughs are light to the point that in two we managed to try a cone, three pizzas, and three desserts without being overly weighted. During the evening we occupied the table for about two hours, the staff although sometimes asked if we waited or liked anything else was neither pressing nor did we feel "kicked out". Prices are certainly medium high, but on closer inspection not far from those offered by other pizzerias. In our case what described above cost 124 euros. Experience and proposals are worth trying.
Recommendation: Don't miss the chrymosome and the cannoli!

We went from peppercorns on July 27, I booked the afternoon at 3pm for a table at 11pm. Despite the Reservation we sat at the table at 23:50. At the entrance there was a boy who managed the entrance based on reservations, in our opinion unpleasant and grumpy. Nice place but no air conditioning. We ordered two wrong daisies, arrived in a short time, same ingredients as a classic daisy but costing double,12€. Chewy and heavy dough, sour tomato and with a very strong flavor probably raw. Very disappointing experience, below our expectations. It is not worth driving so many kilometers, when there are pizzerias in our countries, which deserve much more. We're not coming back.

I went to this pizzeria to try the renowned tasting menu. The reservation was at 11pm, the only slot available despite the month in advance; they made us sit on time and on time. In 32 minutes we were served the whole menu, to say hasty is reductive. Pizza is sharing, conviviality, relaxation... eating 12 courses in 32 minutes does not allow you to appreciate anything. I did not enjoy the pizza or the evening, the message that goes is “move to eat and free the place”. The dough definitely good, the next day I did not feel weighed down, but beyond that nothing else pleasant. As I said, I didn't enjoy the evening at all. In my opinion there are many other better pizzerias and also at a lower price. Would not return

I am on vacation and I decide to take a person to the famous “pepper beans” to taste the temple of pizza.
More than a week before I book and already understand the different shifts I keep the table for 22:15 (on a Tuesday), so after 2/3 confirmation emails and two messages on whatsapp where I was asking for any security I go to Caiazzo.
I come from 7 hours by car and to go eat I do 3 more by bike, but I am convinced that it is necessary as long as it is worth it.
At 22 in advance I go to them to announce myself already and the only answer I find is: I do not listen yet, I do not care! A long wait begins outside the club like a boy from a disco, an animal, a number to make the “evening come back”... it’s 11:10 pm and they tell me that he would be free shortly but I decide to leave while at the entrance they beg me to return.
Driven by hunger but nervous I return and sit down, and waiting another 15 minutes I am served now without hunger and nervous, aware of the ruined evening!
Now mine is not even meant to be a whim but rather advice.
If you want to be entrepreneurs on numbers, those must be respected, that is, if you are so fiscal on time I also demand the same, otherwise do not organize the room into several shifts aware that your guests do not get up pleasantly in a hurry.
Unfortunately / fortunately I also have restaurants and I can guarantee that my guests offer maximum relaxation and the guarantee of the table then established, however it goes.
The pizza eaten without hunger was good, very good, I recognize it but you understand for yourself that at 2 am to return after exhausting waits is absurd.
You never know who is in front of you, because for the name you have, the quality and the place the prices are also low, and if I had had the optimal conditions to enjoy the evening I would have allowed myself to champagne and chat rather than 31 € bill (never even paid at the autogrill).
Mine are just business advice, but if that's okay with you, I'll take note...

We booked two months ago for a table at 10pm on Sunday evening. In the afternoon of the same day they send us a message asking for punctuality and of course we show up on time but punctuality is required only by the customer because they made us wait 50 minutes outside the place with many people complaining of the same disservice. But above all the employee present at the entrance of a UNIQUE EDUCATION. Honestly it can also be a good pizza but when education and precision are lacking, knowing how to cook is useless.

We went to this pizzeria with high expectations thanks to the positive reviews provided by friends we know, however it disappointed us. The value for money too high, the quality is great, but that does not justify the price. Unprofessional staff, unkind and uninformed about the menu. It is also not justified 15% on the cost of the service on the total, since Caiazzo is not comparable to a panoramic view and also because my husband and I had dinner overcoats worn because it was cold. Not acceptable.

Finally after two months of booking we were able to go and eat the famous pizza! CAIAZZO is very far from home, and from the highway exit the road is deserted (at least last night) for about 20 km, around there is only darkness and desolation. The pizzeria instead is perched in a very characteristic and particular street, a sort of small medieval village. 8 pm shift but they only made us sit down at 8:30 pm with dozens of people waiting outside and as many coming out of the previous shift. The fried montanara with very good tomato, the variety of traditional pizzas and is not very varied, we took the wrong daisy and the shoe, good but not exceptional, that, which is missing for pizzas cooked in gas or electric ovens (I think even in this case), is the flavor that gives the wood! Pizzas cooked in wood smell particularly good, then not all, indeed very few, are even good ones. The desserts much appreciated, we took the pizza dough cones with sugar and pastiera filling, really remarkable, it was worth the trip. So ultimately good pizzas cooked in gas or electric ovens I ate several even a few kilometers from home, and I do not know how much it is worth traveling over 100 km (at least for me) and waiting two months. However, I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful experience.
Very friendly waiters, maybe just a little 'inattentive as for different requests we had to attract their attention several times, but they were perfectly mannered and super nice.
My boyfriend and I tasted the “rocco fried cone”, really a goodness, it was not greasy at all, crispy at the right point and very soft.
The amazing pizzas.
Not to mention the area where the restaurant is located.
It's nice to even walk there.
We will definitely be back!
