We were eager to find out and headed straight to Lower South End to taste what they have on offer.

The Menu: What’s Cooking?

Once inside the cozy pizzeria, the aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the air, instantly transporting you to a world of flavors. While there might be some debates on whether it’s a true NY-style pizza – you’ll find that pizza purists have strong opinions – the enthusiasm around the place is contagious. And let’s face it: no matter what you call it, the slices are delicious!

Taking a seat, we couldn’t resist ordering the classic pepperoni pizza and a slice of their homemade tiramisu, a sweet indulgence that’s been a talking point among friends. With the first bite, we remembered just why people adore Zepeddie’s; the crust is perfectly crisp, and the toppings have just the right amount of flavor. Yes, it definitely delivered a fulfilling experience!

A Sweet Ending

As our meal rounded off with the tiramisu, it was clear that Zepeddie’s was ready to reclaim its position as a local favorite. The rich layers of coffee-soaked cake and creamy mascarpone were so delightful that we felt ourselves softening into the flavors. It’s a dessert meant for sharing, but let’s be real – some need to keep this one all to themselves!
