Pepenero Italian Fast Food & Pizzeria

My new favourite restaurant! We had a great evening at Pepenero from start to finish. The food was delicious, we had garlic bread and meats to start followed by pasta dishes, would recommend the lasagne. The homemade gelato is definitely some of the best I’ve ever tried, great range of flavours too. The service was great, the staff were attentive and you can tell this is a family run restaurant as the owner checked in with all the diners, it’s a little things like this that show someone really cares about their customers and the food they are serving. Can’t wait to go back, the pizzas looked incredible so will look forward to getting one next time.

I don't usually ever write reviews but this is by far the best pizza I have come across in Bristol. The dough is just perfect and the tomato sauce is fresh tasting. Though don't eat dairy I can still enjoy pizza as I remember due to their incredible vegan mozzarella! haven't tasted anything like that ever, so close to the real thing! 10/10

So exciting to be able to choose from so many meat substitutes to put on your pizza as a vegetarian - think this is the only place I've been to that offers so much choice. They came on rustic pizza boards which was fun, and service was quick and easy with a remote device that tells you when to collect. It's a bar-style feel inside (dark-ish with music and I think a TV) so not a classic restaurant experience (compared with Pizza Express etc) but nice to have an alternative like this, felt like a very student-y place to go, and more casual for a pizza night out.

Great little find, not too far away from cabot/the galleries. Very good prices, and great atmosphere. They do normal and gluten free pizza bases, as well as meat pizzas, vegetarian options and vegan options too. I'd recommend the dark chocolate and hemp vegan ice cream too! 4 stars given only because the two times I've been here, there's been no mock salmon.

Love the pizzas, but half the time they are out of stock of something. Visited three times before reserving a dessert on the phone (vegan chocolate cake) and it was meh, and twice they were out of salmon. Still. Really nice food, lovely cozy room. And the ice-cream is really nice. Shame not all the flavours are available at once.
