Peppino’s Pizza, established in 1976, has become West Michigan’s largest and most recognized authentic Italian pizzeria. Our recipe for success is based on the precise reproduction of time-honored family principles. Everything from selecting and starting with the finest ingredients, to adhering to century-old recipes and insisting on the highest possible level of customer service has been instilled in each of our franchisees.
At Peppino’s we don’t follow white box business plans based on mass production, we pride ourselves on a comfortable “mom and pop” feel that has been established over generations - not power lunches or weekend getaways.
We currently serve customers in 7 locations throughout the greater Grand Rapids area. Expanded growth plans have been established with limited opportunities available in metropolitan Grand Rapids, as well as in surrounding regions along the lakeshore, in Kalamazoo, and in Lansing.
