New Pizza Place - Peppe's Pizza

They deserve it
and its not spamming
and yes, Union Street is in Astoria.....

When I asked them if they deliver to Union last time I was there, they clearly said YES WE DO and then Peppe tells me that "he plays it by ear" and then tells me he wouldn't deliver a 12 inch pie, but he would a 18 inch pie, without even asking if I was ordering anything else (which I had planned on)

Your interest in my "spamming" makes me wonder if you are in any way related to the place itself. Hmmm?

Not only do you have anger management issues but you're delusional as well. I have zero connection with Peppe's. I just think it's odd that you're flipping out so much about not getting a pizza -- a fucking pizza -- delivered to Union Street from 17th street and 4th Avenue (how many places from Union would deliver out to Peppe's location?) that you feel the need to start a fresh thread on Chowhound about it (I saw it after I read your post here).

And I was being sarcastic about Astoria. I know perfectly well that Union Street is in Bed-Stuy.

Well, to be fair, Union Street is a long delivery from where they're located, especially if you live up near 7th and 8th. I thought I was pushing it for a delivery range and I live in South Slope. Also, remember with the size of the place they can't really afford to expand their delivery range too much. I doubt they can turn out a lot of pizzas in that space.

wow, what a reasonable conclusion to this thread!

thin and droopy huh ?

im seeing some lovely joke possibilities considering the tone of the thread :twisted:

well ok,

maybe you should drive there ?

just ask your hubby to "hold" your parking spot for 5 minutes .

I'm not down by 17th that often, but I'll probably swing over next time I go to Bagel Hole.

How rude?

Hmm. That is one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that he told you that at that time and moment he was too busy to make a delivery that far away, but rather than flat out just tell people that I won't deliver that far (which most places do), he instead gives the courtesy of delivering that far when the current business load enables him to.

But I understand your frustration. I think it might be better PR for him to just set a boundary and say that he won't deliver past it. In which case you would be in the exact same boat, but you wouldn't be so PO'd about it.

Whoo whoo! I just called and they'll deliver to me, past Union in N.Slope mind you.

I've tried two take out slices before. Both specialty square slices. One grandma and one eggplant. Both were surprisingly delicious given our area.

Now I just ordered a whole grandma for delivery. I'll let you know how it goes.
yeah! so excited!

The pie came. No basil even though we specifically asked for it. Very thick chewy crust -in a bad way. Not crispy like a square should be.
Overall I'm very underwhelmed. It's just not worth even mentioning anymore, bleh.

The individual slices I had previously were soo much better. Oh well.

I ordered the nonna a few weeks ago and found it to be bready. Yet, the bruchetta pizza was exactly what a square should be.
