It’s official: Collier County has a new pizza champion. After a little over a month of head-to-head competition, we can officially declare a winner.
Sixteen local pizzerias entered the running to be named “Best Pizza in Collier County,” but it came down to two fan-favorites: San Giuseppe and Peppi’s.
Peppi’s proved to be the place to beat after knocking out last year’s champ LowBrow in the first round. Peppi’s went on to defeat Aurelio’s and Bruno’s before taking on San Giuseppe.
San Giuseppe dominated its polls week after week, defeating spots like Rosati’s, Italian Deli & Market, and Slice Shop with ease.
So who took home the win? Drumroll please….
Your new Collier pizza champion is San Giuseppe!
San Giuseppe defeated Peppi’s with 57% of votes in our championship poll.
The family-owned business has been a Naples staple for three years since it opened, bringing delicious pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and side dishes to locals with a smile. The interior is small so if you have a big group wanting to dine in, make sure you get there early.
Menu highlights include Margherita pizza ($25), buffalo chicken pizza ($24), bianca neve white pizza ($24), meatball parm stromboli ($15), garlic knots ($6), and pepperoni sticks ($10).
You can find San Giuseppe at 2400 Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples. Need to call ahead? (239) 558-1216. Order by phone or online.
