Pepperoncino, Neapolitan pizzeria in Modena, Italy.
Pepperoncino is a Neapolitan pizzeria in Modena located on Viale Trento Trieste, serving traditional Neapolitan-style pizza and regional specialties. The interior features multiple themed dining spaces decorated in honor of Neapolitan cultural figures.
Pepperoncino opened in 2008 under Gerardo Langella, who brought his experience from running Ristorante Al Cenacolo to this new venture. The restaurant introduced authentic Neapolitan cuisine to Modena's dining landscape.
The rooms are decorated with tributes to Neapolitan cultural figures like De Filippo, Totò, and Pulcinella, creating spaces that reflect the city's artistic legacy. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana certification ensures that traditional methods and authentic ingredients are used throughout.
The restaurant operates with lunch and dinner service Monday through Saturday, with dinner-only service on Sundays. Visit during your preferred mealtime as both services are available on most days.
The kitchen prepares lesser-known Neapolitan specialties like Pizza Fritta, Cuoppo, and Montanarine using a wood-fired oven, which differ significantly from the standard round pizzas most visitors anticipate. These traditional fried and folded preparations showcase regional variations that rarely appear outside Naples.
