Pepi's Place opened in its East Side home at 1330 E. Brady St. last February. But according to an announcement posted on the restaurant's Facebook page last night, the restaurant has served its last slices of pizza in the shiny new digs.
Prior to the restaurant's move to Brady Street, Pepi's was a longtime tenant of a South Side space at 3929 S. Howell Ave., where it served up carry-out pizza, as well as sub sandwiches and wings.
Pepi's will continue to offer its frozen pizzas for purchase at a variety of venues around town. See its Pepi's Frozen Pizza page on Facebook for more details. In addition, beginning this September, frozen pizzas will also be available for pick-up from a shop at 4300 W. Forest Home Ave.
