Good Pizza, Not The Best.
by mugflub
December 29, 2007
I eat pizza all the time, and I've tried tons of different places in LA and New York. I went with a good ol' pepperoni pizza. They really don't mess around with the toppings. The pizza was completely covered in pepperoni, which is a good thing if you really, really like toppings. The sauce was very heavy on the garlic, and that says a lot coming from a garlic lover such as myself. It was almost too garlicky, but not quite. The crust is thick and quite filling, I could only eat two slices from the large pizza I ordered.
I definitely expected more from reading the reviews on this site, but the pizza was still quite enjoyable. I wouldn't mind going there again and trying something else, but I probably won't go out of my way to do so. The restaurant itself is not a particularly pleasant environment. I'd suggest getting takeout.
- Pros: Lots of toppings, inexpensive, filling, tasty sauce.
- Cons: Average tasting, garlic might be overpowering for some.
Great Place for NY Pizza

If you're craving NY style pizza, complete with plenty of ingredients and grease, this is the place to go! You walk in and feel like you've left LA. The walls are full of graffiti and the tables are very relaxed. The staff is even nice!
The only drawback is if you're looking for a good side salad, don't go. It's definitely for a craving for good pizza and worth the trip. (:
- Pros: Best Slices of Pizza!
- Cons: Little Healthy Options
Not a FAN

pizza is good but the employees have attitude and over charge. I've paid as much as exactly $19.98 for a 18" three topping blue collar pizza for pickup. Shoulda been according to menu + tax $18.34.
$10.49 + 1.99 for each topping including extra sauce + .49 for takeout + tax.
They acually charge for a premium topping for extra sauce!
I won't be back!!!
Best Pizza in LA

This pizza place is not for the weak at heart. You will be stuffed. They are very genorous on their topping. they are always fresh. The staff is very friendly. I have never had a soggy pizza delivered. The place is small, so I recommend take out or delivery. Also try their fresh loafs of bread. The price is outstanding. The 18 inch meat lovers would cost you at least 1/2 more at a change pizza place. Thanx Joe Peeps for making me a VIP.
- Pros: Great Service and Pizza
- Cons: Too small of a location to dine-in
Eat in, DON'T get delivery.

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
Average Pizza.. Not NY

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
I think so.....

It's hard to rate the pizza when the delivery never arrives

Not only didn't my pizza come, but when I called they told me I hadn't been home. They said the driver would be coming right back, they asked for my phone number (again) but no one ever showed and nobody called back, either. It in the age of google maps, there really is not excuse for getting lost. And it's just bad customer service not to call.
- Cons: Pizza delivery never arrived and no one called.
New York Pizza? I think not.

I'm from Jersey.... grew up 20 minutes outside of Manhattan. Half of my childhood was spent in NYC. My opinion is obviously not the be all, end all when it comes to pizza, but I can tell the real deal from a fraud.
Joe Peep's is right around the corner from my apartment. When I saw NY Pizza, my eyes lit up. Anxious for a taste of home, I ran in and ordered a pie. I was so disappointed. Their pizza is super doughy, ZERO flavor. It sat like a lump in my stomach and my boyfriend and I proceeded to be ill the rest of the evening.
The staff is beyond nice, don't get me wrong, but the food just isn't tasty.
Just a hint to all those looking for NY Pizza out here on the West Coast - you'll know it's close to authentic when you can smell it from a block away.
If you find yourself in LA and don't mind taking a roadtrip, I HIGHLY recommend Bronx Pizza in San Diego. These guys are from NY, still have the accents to prove it, and ship in water from NYC. Or if you're in Boston, try NYP on Tremont St (near Boylston) across from the Majestic Theatre.
