Freddie & Pepper’s.

Worth it, says Antonina. Consistently serving hot pies to locals, Freddie & Pepper’s has been around since 1978, but it got a bit of a boost five years ago when Dave from One Bite Pizza Reviews added them to his exclusive 8 club (pizza joints that score above 8/10).

In addition to classic choices like pepperoni and cheese, you’ll be privy to unique combinations like chicken tex-mex (bacon, salsa, jalapeño, cheddar) or nacho (salsa, meat, jalapeño). Better still, Freddie & Pepper’s offers gluten-free, dairy-free, and whole wheat options as well.
