Pepe Caldo may very well be the best kept secret of Coeur d Alene. One of the coolest, most unique atmospheres for any restaurant I have ever been to. We walked in one Tuesday evening and were in for a great surprise. Absolutely delightful experience. We were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. We were able to relax and it was very laid back. Super fun decor, enjoyable themes. I shall not reveal too many details, as you must find out for yourself. Super yummy homestyle pizza, with a delicious crispy crust and generous portions I also brought home a super unique vintage style T shirt from their gift selection. I love that they're open late. We will certainly be returning. Well done.

11.22.24: First time here and came to see a friend play some live music. He did a solo gig and his band is called Agape. Great chill vibing music. Now on to the pizza, we were greeted when walked in and as we sat, we were given menus. So from other reviews I've read about the service here, what I will say is yes, the son has a quirky demeanor and service. However, his intention is good and does not mean to come off as short or inattentive...it just adds to his mysterious character. Anyways, he seems like a good kid (young adult) and is part of just the family business. Okay, on to the pizza for reals. The wixy nugs sounded very interesting and we tried the jalapeno cinna-sweet flavor. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect but had to order it out of curiosity. I'm glad I did! Some way, some how, the mix of spicy jalapeno coupled with cinnamon definitely works. Hard to describe, yet tasty. For my pizza, I ordered the Flying Hawaiian. But instead of ham or chicken, I went with pepperoni. I really enjoyed this pizza and all the combo flavors that melded together. My friend ordered the BBQ smoked pulled pork pizza and said it was great. Visually there was lots of fresh cilantro but it did not over power the pizza in general. They give you bottled water and they have canned soda for beverages. They do not sell alcohol. One thing to take note of is they stay open late. They close at 2am! Late night munchies? This is the spot. Oh did I mention, this pizza shop has a skateboard shop in it with awesome artwork!? Definitely a unique place to check out and eat some good pizza! Really enjoyed the mom and pop shop atmosphere, it's Mom making the pies and the son helping out. Dad's declining health allows him to come help at times. Support local small businesses, it's what really helps the world go round!

This pizzeria is truly the best. The dough is perfectly balanced! It is flavorful, chewy, and crisp and it pairs wonderfully with their consistently FRESH, thoughtfully chosen toppings. Their calzones & pizzas are packed with flavor, and the garlic Parmesan “Wixy Nuggs” are a MUST. What really sets this place apart is its consistency; with food that’s always excellent and service that’s warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy, nostalgic and charming. Simply put, it’s more than a hidden gem of a pizzeria, it’s an experience you’ll want to keep coming back for.

This pizzeria is excellent. Excellent. Excellent!!! I could not recommend this hidden gem of a place enough. From the perspective of a pizza snob from upstate new york, this is truly the only *delicious* pizza I have found without traveling for hours out. For starters, their dough is perfection. The flavor. the texture. And the ratio to the the topping, truly commendable. For food service, this lovely family owned business remains consistent every time; which is a difficult goal to achieve, especially with food production. Yet somehow?!?!? I get the same experience every time!!! From the first and last bite into my favorite calzone, to the mouthful of garlic parmesean wixy nuggs :) a smile every time. The atmosphere is reminiscent of simpler, family fun times, leaving your heart just as full as your stomach. Added bonus for the beach boys accompanying my vist :)

Ordered for the first time tonight. As I walked in, the young, sweet boy at the counter walked out with our food ready to go. This is definitely a family run business. The atmosphere seemed pretty cool in there and the food is AMAZING! You can really tell it is all handmade. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
