Zio Peppe is where tradition meets innovation, serious collides with playful, and gourmet converges with casual. Zio Peppe means “Uncle Joe’ in Italian, and just like a beloved “funcle” – a fun uncle, Zio Peppe will make sure all are welcome, and everybody is having a good time.Zio Peppe is a collaboration between Chef Devon Sanner and Chef Mat Cable. Our menu is anchored in Italian-American classics of pizza and pasta, but draws heavy influence from the foods and flavor profiles of Tucson and the Sonoran region.Sanner joins forces with Cable after having cooked under Tucson culinary legend Janos Wilder for the past 15 years, serving as chef at Janos, JBAR, Downtown + Cocktails, and The Carriage House.Zio Peppe, which means “Uncle Joe” in Italian, is in part a tribute to Cable’s uncle, Joe Sottosanti, who opened Tucson’s first Sicilian pizza place, Tesseo’s Pizzeria, nearly 50 years ago.

We enjoyed the food, French dip sandwich and the rotisserie chicken, but the service is what brings us back. Our server Brooke is outstanding and the other staff are really warm and friendly. Great place to spend your evening.

Food quality and amount was very good. Service very good. Selection very good. They now charge for the salsa preparation at the table. While it was a nice touch, it is totally unecessary for a Mexican restaurant where good salsa is a given. We opted for the salsa provided with the chips. Very good.
