Peppi’s Pizza, a New York-style pizzeria and hoagie shop, just got a fresh boost from the City of Miami’s Miami Eats feed on Wednesday. The Design District storefront has been cranking out crispy, cheese-forward pies and shaved-ribeye cheesesteaks, and the city’s post has pushed the already buzzy spot back under the local spotlight.

Peppi’s Pizza is bringing New York-style pies and Philly-inspired sandwiches to the Design District. It’s crispy. It’s cheesy. It’s delicious. 🤤 Stay tuned. @peppispizza__ https://x.com/i/status/2029223450615709854
Design District Spot Already Making Noise
Peppi’s took over the former Old Greg’s Pizza space and quietly opened in late 2024, quickly drawing a following in the neighborhood. Owner and chef Ryan McKeown is working with a 72-hour fermented dough and a setup that shifts from quick slices during the day to a fuller Italian-style service at night, according to Pizza Today.
What To Order
The menu runs through New York-style whole pies, hoagies and a signature cheesesteak topped with Cooper Sharp and Cheez Whiz, along with options like a fried-cutlet hero and a handful of small plates. Hours, contact info and the full menu are listed on the restaurant’s site, per Peppi’s Pizza.
Barstool Buzz And Local Reaction
Peppi’s pulled in national attention when Barstool founder Dave Portnoy stopped by in January and scored the pizzeria an 8.1 for its pie and an 8.5 for the cheesesteak, a review noted by the Miami New Times. Local listings and review platforms show mostly positive user ratings that have helped the Design District location build steady evening traffic, per MapQuest.
City Promotion Gives Another Push
This week, the City of Miami’s Miami Eats post tagged Peppi’s as a spot to watch, a municipal-level nod that often translates into more foot traffic for small restaurants. The timing is useful, as Peppi’s continues to square off with long-standing dining names in the neighborhood, according to the City of Miami.
Practical Details
Peppi’s lists its Design District address as 3620 NE 2nd Avenue and operates Tuesday through Saturday at midday, with phone and booking details available on the restaurant’s website, according to Peppi’s Pizza. For now, expect classic slices and hoagie-style sandwiches rather than elaborate tasting menus.
