Reviews for Pepe's Restaurant & Lounge in Manchester, CT

Great structure that separates restaurant from the bar and outside area. Started with their house chili which only exploded with... tastes in every bite. The fresh and hearty ingredients increased my expectations for the next item. I'm going back for more, Read more

This review is for Pepe's Pizza at 300 West Middle Turnpike. (NOT frank pepes...I do not like that place.) Pepe's I give 5 stars... solely on their pizza. Best pizza in the area hands down. I get it with pepperoni and green peppers. Perfect sauce to crust totopping ratio. The crust is delicious and tender, crispy where it needs to be. The sauce is spread generously and is rich intomato flavor. The peppers are cut nice and thin allowing them to cook just right. Pepperoni is plentiful and just the rightamount of spicy and salty. The cheese is gooey, not too stringy and holds everything together. The pizza comes in square sliceswhich is accommodates everyone, crust lovers (end pieces) and not (center pieces). And thankfully they have remained consistentfor over a decade. ???? Read more

My wife and I make it a point to get out, grab a beer, wings and catch up every Thursday. This is the spot. Staff is always on... point, wings always fresh to order and tap beer ice cold. Love the place. If there were a con?bar area could use a littlesprucing up but that certainly isn?t going to stop us from coming in. Read more

I'm from out of town, staying in Manchester for the weekend. I did a Google search on good wings in this area and Pepes came up.... So i gave it a try. Server was great and the wings did not disappoint. Nice and crispy. My old lady got a Cesar Salad and shesaid it was good. Nice place. Read more

I come here about once or twice a month. I've enjoyed the drinks and buzzing atmosphere. The clam chowder wasn't my favorite,... and seemed to be a bit oily/greasy. The Lasagna was pretty tasty, however. I would definitely recommend that! Read more

Unpredictable and inconsistent. When someone who cares is making the pizza, it shows, but sometimes you'll get something decent,... sometimes you will get something absolutely inedible. We used to get the potato special pizza all the time, it's an all ornothing pizza I guess. There's either so little ricotta it's dry or so much that even after waiting 30 minutes for it to "set"it's impossible to eat or enjoy, and truly would give even the strongest dairy loving stomach pause. The broccoli last time wasspoiled, so we ordered it without and put our own on at home. There were 4 tiny slices of potato on 4 pieces of the large pizzawe ordered. They are literally dredged in so much dry oregano/Italian herb seasoning that they are also not tasty. The pizza webrought back no joke weighed about 5lbs, most of which was 2.5-3" thick of ricotta, and greasy cheese. The amount seems like apractical joke. Bacon was so tiny it looked like red pepper flakes, rather than an actual topping component. Since we have noidea how or what to order anymore, we will not be wasting the time being frustrated and hungry, or the energy returning for itto be made out to be "our fault" for ordering wrong. We definitely used to enjoy it occasionally in the pizza rotation, but lifeis too short for bad pizza. Read more

Had the white clam, greek and veggies pizza, all great. Waitress was courteous and helpful with shuffling some ingredients in... some of our order. Mac and cheese on the bigger size. Deck is nice to sit outside, not the best of views as it is on the parkinglot and music is on the louder side. Read more

This is a covid 19 takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered meatballs and a pepperoni pizza. The... meatballs were OK, baked and not simmered in the sauce. They were tender and juicy. The pizza was a letdown. It was Greek styleand it was very greasy, the crust was floppy, and the flavor was average. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 6.4. Read more
