Key Information
Pepe In Grani is renowned for its innovative approach to pizza, elevating traditional Italian pizza with high-quality, often locally sourced ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
We tried the tasting menu and absolutely loved the appetizers (sensazione di costiera and ciro) and desserts (crisommola del vesuvio and cerasella). We got five different pizze including the famous one - the scarpetta was great but the rest were just ok. Would love to go back but will prolly not do the tasting menu as it was a lot of food. After the third pizza, it was hard to enjoy the rest. Service could be better, took my plate while I was still eating.
The pizza at Pepe in Grani is simply outstanding. Every detail reflects the skill, passion, and creativity of a true master of his craft. The dough is light and perfectly balanced, the ingredients are of exceptional quality, and every bite is a pleasure.
This is not just a restaurant—it is a destination that every pizza lover should visit at least once. Whether you are a casual fan or a serious pizza enthusiast, Pepe in Grani is a place worth going out of your way for. Without a doubt, one of the most memorable culinary experiences of my trip. Highly recommended!

We travelled from Azerbaijan to taste the pizzas of Franco Pepe at Pepe in Grani.
Franco Pepe himself was very friendly and welcoming. The place is beautiful, with a warm and cozy atmosphere. Caiazzo is a quiet town — partly abandoned in some areas — which creates a strong contrast with the energy inside the restaurant.
Pizzas
We tried the “Wrong Margherita” and “Scarpetta.”
The dough was OK — slightly sticky on the cornicione and with a noticeable yeast smell.
However, the topping ingredients were amazingly good. You truly feel the quality. In fact, the ingredient quality was better than the dough itself.
Drinks. The restaurant has good selection of wines and beers.
Desserts
I tried the best tiramisu of my life. Absolutely outstanding!
Overall
Overall, it was a good experience. High-level ingredients, a beautiful atmosphere, and a memorable dessert — even though the dough did not fully meet expectations.

Absolutely worth it, specially the dough is something I’ve never experienced before! Amazing flavour texture and super light for digestion!
Thanks to the staff they helped with to have a room to sleep for a reasonable price so I could stay overnight!
Amazing place

Great place to eat the best Pizza in the world. The Chef himself greets the guests if time. And the selection of pizzas is wonderful. Types you've never seen before. We took the train from Naples to Caiazzo which takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. This place is a must for pizza cooks to see and get inspiration.
