Editorial Review for Joe Peep's New York Pizza – by Stephanie L. Smith
In Short
Joe Peep's recalls those greasy pizza-and-beer joints from college days. Encrusted top to bottom with graffiti, it sports a few rickety tables, head shots of San Fernando Valley stars, and all the condiments in a jar. Pies come in two styles, both thin-crust: Blue Collar and 5,969-Calorie, thicker at the edges and topping heavy. Both come slathered with garlic-tomato sauce. The Vegi House Combo comes with pepperoncinis, olives, peppers and mushrooms.

If you physically go to Joe Peeps, it's really good. But ONLY if you go there. Delivery takes forever. They say it's because of the volume of orders. That would be easy to believe if the food showed up, say, WARM. We can't expect hot food, now can we? At the restaurant the pizza is hot and the crust is crisp. Delivered it's just a cold, soggy mess. I was shocked by this, having eaten at the place, so I gave the delivery a second chance. EVEN WORSE the second time. Not only was the pizza cold and soggy, but it appeared to be only half cooked. When did NY style pizza become an all-encompassing term? I'd say it's more Transylvania style than anything, as no vampire will come near after all that garlic. I like garlic a lot, but too much is too much.
Pros: Great eat-in establishment
Cons: Atrocious when delivered

First thing's first.. this is not NY pizza. Don't expect that when you order it despite the name. We ordered delivery. This was our first try of Joe Peep's NY Pizza. Something I've found about LA (which is definitely different than NY) they charge delivery charges and some times hefty ones at that. Joe Peep's charged $4 on top. Seems a bit steep and puts me in an awkward position about what to tip the driver. Well, we ordered the 18" Blue Collar (thin) pizza. Thick crust is not something I like (even from Totono's in NY). We always order the first pie plain to try it out for what it is.. Cheese and sauce were ok.. just ok. Crust was crisp and thin.. definitely some corn meal used which is never ok. Another reviewer mentioned it was Domino's-ish. It kind of was but a few small steps up. Other reviewers commented on the garlic in the sauce.. it seemed fine to me. Nothing stood out. The 18" is a big pie with many small slices. Oh, skip the wings. They're oily and nasty. They came with ranch too.. no blue cheese and celery. I've tried a few pizza places in the area searching for that great pie and so far the only one that has had the best flavor (despite having too much oil though) has been Vitello's in Studio City.
Pros: The pizza was delivered hot
Cons: wings, $4 delivery charge, not NY pizza
