" Zio Peppe is a mixed bag. While the birria pizza was definitely one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, the service was a bit chaotic. My server seemed overwhelmed and we waited longer than expected for our food. The ambiance was pleasant but slightly noisy. Overall, I would go back for that pizza, but I hope the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio Peppe is a great place if you're looking for delicious Italian-Mexican fusion food! The authenticity of flavors stood out to me. I really enjoyed their Calamarrones dish, a unique twist on calamari. The atmosphere felt welcoming and homely, and the wait for our food was reasonable. Definitely a worthwhile visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio Peppe is definitely worth the hype! We came for a casual dinner but ended up being blown away by the flavors. The Figgy Stardust pizza had the perfect balance of sweet and savory and the crust was lovely. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. The environment had cute decor and was very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something unique in Tucson. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dinner! The atmosphere at Zio Peppe was relaxed yet vibrant. We tried a variety of dishes, including the Bianca pizza and Charcuterie board, both were top-notch. My only complaint was that the wait for our food felt a tad long, but luckily, the flavors of the dishes made up for it. The staff was friendly and engaging, making our experience worthwhile. A strong recommendation from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our experience at Zio Peppe! The combination of Italian and Mexican influences made for a truly original menu. We ordered the Calamarrones for starters and they were a hit! The tapas-style sharing was perfect for our group. I opted for the Green Chile Rigatoni, which packed a spicy punch and was well worth the price. The atmosphere was lively and bright, making it a fun spot to enjoy an evening with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Got to Zio Peppe for the first time thanks to a friend's suggestion. The food was delightful! I went with the Margherita pizza and was pleasantly surprised by the fresh toppings. The only downside was that the service felt somewhat rushed, which left little time to truly enjoy the ambiance. Otherwise, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would certainly return to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Zio Peppe was filled with expectational food, though the service fell slightly short. The ambiance was inviting and the art on the walls caught my eye. I stood by the garlic bread with a honey-chamomile goat cheese spread, absolutely dreamy! I also loved the creative menu but experienced a wait for the drink orders. Overall, I’ll certainly recommend the food to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)
