Pepe in Grani In Caiazzo

Che dire...ogni volta sempre meglio. Nulla da eccepire. Pizze ottime, ma il pezzo forte per me rimane la crisommola...inimitabile!

Stupenda ed incantevole location corredata anche da tavoli vista colline a dir poco spettacolari. Pizza buona ma materie prime ed accostamento ingredienti di più. Ho mangiato in tal senso a livello impasti anche pizze migliori ma il menù pepe in grani con tutte le due varianti è costruito davvero bene e la crisommola del Vesuvio ne è il culmine,paradisiaca! La loro idea ristorativa insieme all’organizzazione generale non possono non far assegnare il massimo dei punteggi.

We stayed at a B&B nearby which is why I didn't rate the rooms any stars (they were booked the night we wanted to come) Caiazzo was cute, felt safe and the residents were warm and friendly. As soon as we entered Pepe in Grani, we had the chance to meet Chef Franco and get a picture with him. The food was better than what we expected, after watching all the YouTube videos, and Netflix - The Chef’s Table!!! We started with the Fried Cones (Ciro and Rocco for the kids). The dough wasn't greasy at all! (just like the reviews on YouTube). Even a simple Bruschetta was just divine - The tomatoes had such flavour (something we don’t have in Canada) and burst of freshness on one of the most moist fluffy breads. We were expecting very dry crispy bread. We were then treated with their Montanara by surprise. Again super fluffy and not greasy. Perfect combination of saltiness from the Anchovies and the zesty-ness from the lemon. We obviously had to try his famous Margherita Sbagliata and his Scarpetta - both were just simply AMAZING! We ate more than we normally would but, even though we had fried pizza, we still felt like we could no leave without trying his famous dessert, the Crisommola! Lemon peel, Vesuvio apricot jam, DOP buffalo ricotta, hazelnuts, dehydrated olives and to top it all off - mint! We had a hard time sharing and wanted more :) Next time we will definitely have his son Stefano's desert! We had to leave something for a next time! Thank you Franco, and your team for giving us an experience of a lifetime and a memory for my family to remember forever! Also thanks for putting up with my questions on perfecting our pizzas - I can't wait to use the dough mixing box we purchased there. See you soon Amico! From Canada. A little background of why we had to dine here: My family and I have really enjoyed eating Napoletana pizza's for years. During the Pandemic we bought our first Ooni and started making our own. Very quickly we came across Franco Pepe in my search for best recipe and chefs. It is since then we have wanted to make a visit to his restaurant. We booked in advance - easy Travelled to Naples - easy but, the day we had set out to take the local train over to Caiazzo (VIA Caserta) there was a strike with the trains! so we took a cab.

It's not the first time we've eaten pizza here...what can I say...excellent service, more than good pizza deserves a 10 ⭐️😋 🔝

service not up to the reputation

An experience that had both positive and negative sides. The appetizers are certainly a strong point: both the croquettes and the fried cones are excellent (the frying is very light and the ingredients of the cones are very well balanced, we tasted "Estitalia" and "Rocco"). Another strong point is the pizza dough, one of the best I've ever tasted. The pizza that certainly impressed me the most was the renowned "Margherita errata". Regarding the weak points, we had to wait 15 minutes and ask 3 different waiters for napkins. Then another negative thing (but here I admit it was due to my negligence) was ordering a pizza with Casertana "sausage" and discovering that it was actually a salami (then upon inquiring I saw that the Casertana sausage is more similar to a salami in effects), but perhaps it could be pointed out. Another weak point was the wait of another 15 minutes for just one dessert (while all the other diners had abundantly finished their desserts). Overall, an experience without infamy and without praise. Coming from Naples, I say that I wouldn't go back on purpose, but if you're passing through, it should be tried at least once.

Pepe in grani was the best culinary experience ever. Words are not enough to express the professionalism, experience, dedication and sacrifices. I have only words of praise for the place, the staff but above all the food, namely the Pizza. Here you don't just eat, you experience emotions. 100 cum laude

Remarkable experience. Recommendation for a tasting tour of €35.00. Definitely coming back. Every bite...an explosion of taste.

An unforgettable pizza experience

Definitely a quality pizza. Very digestible dough. Appetizing appetizers. However, I missed the wow effect
