About this business

In 1984, Peppino's opened in Lake Forest—one of the lesser-known cities in Orange County. Now this Italian family restaurant has become a local chain with four more locations in Mission Viejo, Foothill Ranch, Aliso Viejo and Irvine. The first thing that catches you in the restaurant is the smell, so wonderful that you are determined to have a huge meal. The earthy color decor and old photos only add to the inviting charm. The bread is nothing fancy, just like what mom makes. The menu is big and filled with excellent di... read more

The Worst I have ever experienced in my whole life!!! We sat down got some bread that was very dry. Waited 45 minutes for a 22 dollar pizza. When the cook put the pizza on the counter for the waitress to bring it to us, I could already see that it was a burnt piece of bread. The crust crumbled in my hands when I picked it up! Go to Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Chuck E Cheese! I ended up going across the street to taco bell/ pizza hut and there pizza was 20 times better!!! Peppinos Sucks! Costco has better pizza (BY FAR!!!). What a w... read more

Repeat customer for life! I've been taking my friends to Peppino's for over 25 year and they have just gotten better over the years. I've also been to parties where they catered and wish I had brought a big Tupperwear purse. I love Peppino's and applaud them for many years of excellent service, food and atmosphere.

Big time Italian Good homemade Italian food. The portions are big and the menu has every old favorite you would want. The bread is wonderful. The Martini's are served with shaved ice floating in them. Every pasta you would want, fresh pizza and even a few veal dishes

love it! I have been coming here for years and love the Peppino Roll! Definitely a great italian food place. Make sure to come on a slow night as the wait can get pretty long.

Great Pescetori Pescetori is great enough for 2, I split it with my wife every time. The martini bar is pretty good when you can find a seat. Service is ok, use to be excellent, might just have been a bad night the last time.

good!! My family took me here for my birthday and it was yummy. i wasnt too impressed with the setup, (you are really close to the other tables) or the really hard bread (i'm sure some people like it like that but i am not a fan) but the main dish was so good! i got the tortillini premavera (spelled wrong i am sure:)). it was so good but very rich. make sure you bring your appetite because when i went to eat the left overs i almost threw up when i saw how the sauce had seperated.... anyway it is good while you are in the res... read more

Good pizza The set up is pretty nice in the restaurant and is perfect for a party of 2 or larger parties. Sometimes though the service can be a little slow with more people attending for dinner. It's a family owned restaurant so those are usually better than chain restaurants. Personally I think the pizza is pretty good though some may argue otherwise. Their pasta dishes are usually filling as well. Overall it's a pretty relaxed place and the food is good so give it's worth a try.
