Pepe Italian Street Food in City of London, Westminster

Pepe è un'istituzione a Soho, un posto dove mangiare un gustoso trancio di pizza al centro di Londra a poco. Il personale è gentilissimo.

We found this place after looking to grab a quick bite to eat before a show. Guy serving was friendly, pizza was hot and served quickly. Cute little find, would go back.

The food is good but the staff were so rude. Visited yesterday and the shorter guy at the till had a rude attitude. No please or thank you. And he dumped the food in front of me. Left feeling annoyed, and in one way discriminated against. As he was perfectly nice to everyone else. I’ll avoid this place in future, not worth my money.

We were looking for a drink and snack on a warm Saturday afternoon in Soho at about 2pm. We picked Pepe as they had lots of availability in their outside seating area. We went inside to order, there was one customer in front of us and we waited about 10 minutes before they took our order. There was about 4-5 members of staff all busy doing stuff - no one was talking to each other and it was a rather chaotic! After placing our order (just a fizzy water, a beer, a coffee, a tea and an orange juice) we waited about another 10 minutes for it to be brought out. All cups and cutlery is disposable, there was not any lids for the hot drinks and beer is out of the bottle or in a very small plastic cup! They ran out of milk while we were there so they popped to the shop to buy some, which they then brought out in another plastic cup as they had no jugs! To be fair the coffee and juice were ok, just all a bit manic really!! I think the staff were trying - they just didn’t have a clue what they were doing and no one was guiding them! While we were there three other tables had to chase their food orders and one ‘went missing’ so had to be started again!

Sadly, after visiting this place since it’s opened on a regular basis , today was a poor show, the pizza base was very fluffy almost like bread. Usually it’s thin and slightly crispy. Hopefully this is a one off. I will come back and visit as I’m here very often, just hope the pizza they make regularly comes back. Today was a waste of money as I didn’t enjoy it at all, my date said it was average after I was thing her all day how good it is. Gutted . Usually a 5 star rating. Can you please explain why it was so different today?

I'm glad I tried this place as I'm fond of simple, tasty and filling lunches served up in an efficient experience. The service could have been more courteous but perhaps customers shouldn't expect much from Old Compton Street?

This was a real find and the pizza 'a taglio' comes with a variety of toppings, my favourite is the one with aubergines, mozzarella, tomatoes and olives.

We bothe wanted pizza for lunch, but were only peckish and was therefore looking for somewhere that sells pizza by the slice. Wandered up to Old Compton Street in Soho and found this little place. Had a slice of Fiorentina, and a slice with Salami. They also sell beer and wine. We sat down outside, the whole street is now just like a huge outdoor terrace with tables outside all the restaurants and bars. Absolutely loved the pizza slices, and the new atmosphere in Soho! Would highly recommend for a delicious slice of pizza, and a continental atmosphere like that of any Italian or Spanish city!!

Great pizza at bargain prices, in a cosy atmosphere. If you don't have much time but want to grab some food that's still delicious, then I'd highly recommend Pepe's Italian Street Food. You can enjoy a side salad and a few glasses of wine with your pizza and still come back with change from a ten pound note. Unheard of in London! Staff are always lovely as well.

It doesn't matter that you are smack dab in the middle of one of the busiest cities in Europe, by 2200 hours most restaurants close their doors in London. So, if you are in dire need of nourishment, maybe try this place. There's an acceptable variety of pizzas and the slices are hot and crispy; and they are square, sure, but don't expect the mouthwatering flavour of a real pizza al taglio romana. Accessible prices, lame decoration and bored staff.

Not cheap but if you need that slice or two before going back to work or the pub or the trek home, then despite the large tray bakes and the time they may have been in the window or out on display, the combinations aren’t bad and can’t meet your purpose.

So I was there with my sister last night and we both got a pizza. The lady asked if me and her wanted to pay together and I said yes. However she added the payment of the person in front of us to my bill too so I payed for the guy as well. I payed £13.50 rather than £8-9 that I should have payed. Not much but I think this is very unprofessional. I shouldn’t have payed for the guy in front of me. I always loved going to this place but won’t be going again after last nights experience.

I wrote this review on the Covent Garden branch by mistake but it was actually this pepe branch in soho I visited. I went here on the evening of 13th December to order a take out of what was supposed to be a Carbonara. I thought I’d go for the large as I was rather hungry. Carbonara is actually my favourite pasta dish so this was my obvious choice. It was microwaved for me and I took it away so I could travel home. After the first bite I was so shocked at the consistency and taste that even my friend couldn’t stop laughing. The pasta had no sauce whatsoever and was extremely dry. It tasted like someone boiled the pasta, threw it in an oven and then put some Flora Margarine on it. This was not a carbonara at all, but rather a poor excuse for a pasta dish. For an extra £3 I could have had a lovely pasta dish in a nearby restaurant. Will not be visiting again.

Thought I'd give their pizza slices a try whilst out on a shopping trip yesterday. Oh, what a mistake that was! Don't think I have ever had such a utterly tasteless "pizza" in my life. No idea what the "four cheeses" on it were but can only surmise they were he four cheapest and greasiest varieties on the market. Not even a healthy dousing in chilli oil and seasoning could make it palatable. Overpriced and underwhelming. Avoid.

Had this as a post pub meal because at midnight they offer a carton of pasta for £3.50 via an app. For that price it was very good value for money, the ingredients were a step above what you'd find in a supermarket pasta pot and it was a considerably bigger size as well. At the end of the day though I've had better grab and go pasta (the Cheese Wheel stall for example) so I'm not sure I would have been happy paying full price for this, I suppose you're paying for location rather than quality somewhat.

Much recommended street food. We tried three types: aubergine & peper, mozzarellas, and artichoke with rocket salad

We stopped for a quick lunch and was not very impressed. maybe its me but I always find these pizza palces overpriced for a bit of bread with tomatoe sauce on top!

I ordered the bacon pasta with cheese. Each bite was crunchy (yuck). After a few mouthfuls I uncovered one massive lump of meet which hadn’t been cut up and was totally off putting. If I could give this place zero stars. I walked out unable...

There’s a big TV on all the time & while we were there the door was wedged open most of the time for deliveries. Also, the coffee machine was broken. The food was passable.

This is a great little Italian with some authentic veggie pizzas and clean kitchen with happy dancing staff. definitely worth a visit if you are in soho and looking for a quick bite .

I like the dough/flavour of this pizza, but £4.50 for a take-away slice is too much! As a comparison, the equally touristy Arancina in Notting Hill charges £3.80 for the same size/quality. Also offering tends to be a bit of a hit and miss in...

This place was great when it opened but it’s very obvious quality has gone downhill and corners are being cut. Their pastas used to be packed with ingredients - today’s choices were three different pastas with no obvious added ingredients. I had the Bolognese that...

This place is terrific! We had walked to Fortnum and Mason on the main avenue then took to the side streets for our return to Bloomsbury. Their window display grabbed us right away. A small store but filled with great and delicious pizza. The staff...

Great choice of individual pizza slices and mixed pasta boxes! Very quiet great for in between Theater performances!

Amazing place to stop fir tasty Italian street food between parts in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play - prompt service tasty service good wine reasonable prices

We happened to stumble across this place and what a find it was. The food tasted very fresh and we were really happy to stumble across this. I would recommend it if you was in the area, and fancied something different and not your ordinary...

Ive been here multiple times, since I move to London and Ive found its meals are delicious. They al remind remind me of my time in Italy a couple of years ago. The atmosphere of the place is quiet peaceful when ive visited. Staff are...

Introduced to Pepe by a friend who took us for a late afternoon bite with the family. Friendly and efficient staff and a great range of pizza which is ordered by the slice and good selection of pasta dishes to choose from. I prefer a...

I am Italian and, wow!, Pepe blow me away with a fantastic, delicious take-away pizza. BUT be warned, this type of food is ONLY GOOD when JUST MADE. Do not buy pizza which came out of the oven more than 5 minutes before. A good...

Delicious, light, tasty and fresh pizza by the slice costing £4 . Absolutely gorgeous. We had a salami slice and mushroom and bacon slice and they were so good. Staff were really lovely too. Highly recommended,

My sister and I stopped in for a quick bite as it looked quiet, but within minutes the place was packed! We decided that it was probably the best pizza we've ever eaten! Great friendly service too.

When I'm looking for something quick and tasty, this is where I like to go. I can get a slice of pepperoni pizza (actually 3 small slices) and a lemon San Pelligrino for about 6 quid. The food is fast and good. Eat in or...

A great spot for some quick authentic Italian pizza and pasta. The pizza we had was fresh and delicious, the staff friendly and the food reasonably priced for a tourist area within central London. The only downside is that the slices are so big that...

I stopped here when working in London and it was great to get some food quickly and be somewhere where it was easy to eat alone. I had pasta and it wasn't bad. The flavours weren't amazing but for central London it did the job...

Despite a service a bit slow but very sympathetic waitress, the pizzas are very good and fresh (home made including the pizza bread).

Excellent pizza! Perfect crusting! Delicious toppings! The personnel is friendly.. the place is a bit small, but well maintained.. I found the place by coincidence, and I enjoyed this experience very much! Highly recommended

The pizzas are tasty, on thin crust and reasonable price per slice especially for Central London. Also had a small Sausage & Artichoke pasta which was a bit short on seasoning. Otherwise it's a fast and convenient place to grab a bite to eat near...

Stopped here for a quick lunch. They have a selection of about 6 pizzas and 6 pasta dishes to choose from. We went for a pizza slice and shared as you get a big slice. Not that much seating inside but we found a table...

This is specifically aimed at the Pasta menu, not the Pizza (I've never tried their Pizza). I have had takeaway pasta from here for lunch a couple of times, usually hungover, so it always seemed adequate, especially when covered in parmesan cheese. Today however, it...

An excellent place to stop for a quick meal. Great pizza quickly prepared. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming and very helpful. Will be going again.

My wife and I walked past the restaurant and couldn't resist trying the pizza after seeing it looking so great through the window. We got a slice to share and a couple of soft drinks and sat outside under the heat lamps. Pizza was very...

I had the pleasure to bump into this pizzeria as l was en route to work. I am so glad l did. The pizza margherita with fresh cherry tomatoes and mozzarella is so delicious!! Top notch!!

First time there and the pizza was delicious! Will definitely be stopping back again to try their other pizza!

Popped in for pizza and pasta before heading to Aladdin up the road. Staff were very busy and seemed daunted by our big order but they managed it ok. Pizza was lovely and the small box of pasta was a good size which came with...

Popped into here late on a Friday night to grab a slice of pizza, and was overwhelmed by how delicious the pizza was. It took me back to walking the streets of Rome and picking up a slice here and there whilst on holiday. Seriously...

Nice staff, nice pizza and reasonable price. Two slices and two beers, eating in was £16 all in. Not bad for the location and enough for a quick lunch for two.

I tried 1 slice of pizza then I had to ask for another one ;))) it is sooooo delicious. I loved it. I will be back for sure. Vik

Having visited the other branch on St Martin’s lane on our previous visit to London, we decided to include this delectable gem on our recent visit to the city. Located on Old Compton Street, Soho, this beautiful eatery offers an authentic Italian spread of pizza,...

Just visited Pepe, I've lived in London for 6 years and I don't think I ever tried better pizza, the bread it's just incredibly tasty and they've got so many different flavours you just start drooling when trying to pick one. You MUST try this...

I keep popping back to this cute little place in the heart of Soho. If you need food on the go, it's a great value option compared to most other places in the area. Very authentic pizza, the pasta always looks good too. The coffee...

I went on my own for some canoli and i am still missing how nice people was. And of course, my canoli was heavenly. Can't wait to be back with someone

I have been twice now and on both occasions the food was excellent and the atmosphere really enjoyable. The staff are pleasant and the food is reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Cute friendly staff and yummy Italian food. Nice casual atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and what you'd expect for central London.

Delicious Pizza!! The best Pizza in Soho! Really great value for money, and always friendly helpful staff.

Popped in before a night in soho. Good prices and the food was hot and tasty. The best bit was the staff who were all lovely! Have been back since!

It's a small but cozy place with incredible service and delicious food :) I will definitely visit again sometime Great people working in Pepe !

I used to go to their restaurant on St Martin's Lane but was really happy to see they opened one closer to where I work. Great for a quick lunch. My friends and I often go there after a night out too. It's not American...

Best pizza, best service, very good prices! Thanks! Totally recommendable!!! Had a really nice time with my Family there.

I stayed for a couple of days in London. We were walking around starving, so we saw Pepe. We decided to get in because of this romantic scent of pizza. It is pretty clean, and got a really nice service. Totally recommended

I loved this place... they have great food and i had great time with my friends. The pizza is the best they have a lot to choose

We've been there a couple times while we visit London. They have delicious pizzas and one of the best cannoli's I've ever tasted. With drink one slice pizza will cost you around 6£.

Great little place to have a quick lunch of a slice of tray pizza. I had the salami which was quickly reheated and was delicious. The price was ok too with it being around £6 including a limonata soft drink.

Haven't been to the Covent Garden branch but had been warned that it has an eye to tripper's wallets as well as cutting smallish slices. Well, I was also hungry and anxious to grab something quickly. I called into the Soho shop, the trays were...

Pizza and prosecco I ordered. Prosecco I noticed was not a full measure and came in a beer glass! He said I could wait another 15 mins for his only other warm bottle to chill in freezer. Come on boys. Not good enough. He charged...

The worst slice of pizza ever had .... Expensive price like 4 £ for slice poor ingredient and very rude staff.
