What Our Clients Are Saying

Hear from Our Customers Directly

There’s nothing we love more than being part of life’s most meaningful celebrations. Here’s what couples and event planners have shared about their experiences trusting Peppercini’s to cater their most important moments.

I’ve used Peppercini’s as my go-to caterer for our company picnic [Jason, feel free to insert # of plates here if you want!] for over 10 years now. Their professionalism and presentation is unmatched. Event planning can be stressful, but Peppercini’s takes the lead on everything, even things I hadn’t known to plan for, making our event one of the best days of the year! The food is always delicious and something we look forward to year after year. I cannot recommend them highly enough

Cassie Simpson , Director of External Affairs AHHA

I’ve had the honor of working with Peppercini’s Catering both personally and professionally, and they are simply outstanding. Jason and his team handle everything—from pre-planning to event day—with precision, professionalism, and a smile. Their execution is flawless, and I wouldn’t consider anyone else for catering.

Jessica Bjornstad

When we need a meeting or event catered, Peppercini’s is our first call. In addition to our own catering needs, we partner with Peppercini’s each holiday season to provide meals for local elementary school students – which is greatly appreciated. It’s nice to work with another business that shares our community values!

Dylan F. , Matson, Alaska

Peppercini’s did an exceptional job adapting their menu to fit the theme, tone, and personality of our event. It was so intentional—thoughtfully designed to complement the atmosphere and resonate with our audience, while still being delicious, beautifully presented, and crowd-pleasing. Guests immediately noticed (and talked about!) how the food matched the experience.

 

Beyond the menu itself, their team was professional, flexible, and wonderful to work with, making the entire process feel seamless. Peppercini’s didn’t just cater our event—they helped bring it to life. We would absolutely work with them again and recommend them without hesitation!

Becky Chambless

Anytime we have a special event, Peppercini’s is our first call.  The staff is so easy to work with and the food is always fantastic

Kristen Melican

I’ve been a Peppercini’s catering customer since 2008 and recommend them to everyone!  In fact, I have been so consistently impressed with their food and attention to detail that I had them cater my wedding reception in 2016.  Their service is seamless from planning (taking into account dietary restrictions and special requests) to delivery, set up, and presentation.  Can we talk about the smoked salmon alfredo?  It’s Alaskan love baked to perfection!   From small groups of 10 or 12 people to large events with hundreds of attendees, Peppercini’s has your catering needs covered!

Sara T. , Safe Kids Alaska

Peppercini’s has been catering our church events for over 10 years and we have been very pleased with not just their delicious food but also their professional team of friendly and upbeat staff who arrives in a timely manner and sets up beautiful tables for service! Peppercini’s prices are very reasonable and fair, which is why we will continue to use them! I would highly recommend Peppercini’s as your next catering choice! Thank you Jason and Peppercini’s staff!

Tobitha L.

We can’t say enough amazing things about this team! Every event we host — from casual gatherings to formal celebrations — is instantly elevated when Peppercini’s Catering is involved. Their food is always delicious, their service is top‑notch, and their employees bring the perfect mix of professionalism and warmth.
One of our favorite traditions is our annual fishing trip and trust us… when you’re out on the water, you want a meal that’s fresh, filling, and easy. Their pre‑packed lunch boxes? Absolute home run.
Holiday buffet? Check. Casual team lunch? Check. Seamless, friendly, always‑prepared staff? Check, check, check!
We love partnering with our friends at Peppercini’s Catering every chance we get — they make every event better and can work with any budget.

Rosa K. , Charlie’s

I always recommend Peppercini’s to people who ask for catering services. We’ve been using them for our company for a few years now and it’s always consistent and delicious. They accommodate us and make the events go smoothly which I love, very responsive and reliable. Our employees rave about the food as well

Mackenzee Nicely

Peppercini’s Catering is hands-down the best. The food is ridiculously good—like “people hovering around the buffet asking who catered this” good. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and always a crowd favorite. Their team shows up on time, with great attitudes, and somehow makes catering look effortless. Their pricing is great, and no matter the budget, they always find a way to make every event feel special (magic? probably). Even with last-minute requests, they go above and beyond without breaking a sweat. We use them so often they honestly feel like part of our team. Big events, small events, snacks-for-a-meeting events—Peppercini’s is always my go-to. Come for the professionalism, stay for the food… and maybe seconds.

Jennifer D.

I have been using Peppercini’s for over fifteen years and have never been disappointed.  From weddings to funerals and everything in between, they have been my go to caterer.  Not only is the quality and presentation of the food superb, but their customer service goes beyond!  On several occasions I was late to plan an event and somehow they squeezed me in.  Their pricing is unbeatable and they always throw a little something extra in.  Their staff is extraordinary and their product is outstanding.  I will be using them for all future events at work and at home!

Nicole Syren

This team at Peppercini’s is truly amazing. I can call and say, “We need lunch for 30,” and they make it happen without hassle or stress. Jason, Addi, Taylor, and their entire crew are absolute professionals, with unbeatable pricing and great food options for every event. What really sets them apart is the extra care and attention to detail they bring without ever being asked. When we planned a family picnic for our early learning families, they didn’t just provide food—they delivered everything in adorable miniature picnic baskets. For our Holiday Santa Train, even the stir sticks were North Pole stop signs. Those thoughtful details just show up. On top of all that, they are incredibly flexible and understanding of the ever-changing schedules that come with working alongside our military. Reliable, creative, and a joy to work with every single time.

Sarah Riffer

Peppercini’s provides a top tier catering experience. They offer affordable pricing, a wide variety of menu options, and their customer service is unbeatable. They take pride in their product and presentation which shines through in their service.

Adrienne Wilson

Pepp Catering has been an absolute game changer for our team. It is by far the best priced caterer in town! The quality of food, portions, delivery, and set up is second to none! If you are catering an event, this is the only place to go!

Matthew S.

Peppercinis has been in business for as long as I can remember, and for good reason!  They are extremely easy to work with, flexible, and hardworking. The team always shows up dressed professionally and conducts themselves with the utmost professionalism.
Their menu selections are top-notch and never fail to impress. Having compared them to other catering companies, I can confidently say their food quality and quantity is unparalleled, and their prices are the best in town. And despite their popularity, they always manage to make time for smaller events like mine, delivering exceptional service and delicious food every time.
Jason and his team have the catering business dialed in at every level and are true masters of their craft, and I highly recommend them for any dining experience. You won’t be disappointed!

The Whited Family, Customers since 2012

We couldn’t have been happier with Peppercini’s. The food was incredible, the service was seamless, and the staff were professional and genuinely wonderful to work with. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. Peppercini’s played a huge role in making our wedding day perfect.

Katie Shake

My husband and I chose Peppercini’s to cater our wedding in July 2024, and we couldn’t have asked for a better company to be part of our big day! We went with their Southwest Wedding Menu, and it truly was one of the biggest highlights of the entire celebration.
The food was phenomenal from start to finish. We wanted a cozy, relaxed wedding vibe paired with professional service, and this menu struck the perfect balance. The chicken and beef taco bar let each guest customize their meal with a generous variety of toppings, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Portions were plentiful, so no one left hungry. We heard so many guests say it was “the best wedding food they’ve ever had”
The staff’s professional and efficient service made the whole day feel seamless and stress-free. From the beginning, the booking process was straightforward, with flexible tasting options and a reasonably priced payment plan. On the wedding day, the team arrived early, set everything up flawlessly, kept the buffet area tidy throughout, and handled all of the cleanup. Best of all—as any bride and groom know—you often don’t get much time to sit and eat during the chaos. The thoughtful gesture of the staff packaging up a to-go box of food for us at the end of the night felt so considerate and appreciated.
Peppercini’s truly went above and beyond to deliver high-quality food and service. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for catering for a wedding or any special event.
Thank you, Peppercini’s, for making our wedding reception so flavorful and effortless!

Arial L.

Peppercini’s is nothing short of AMAZING.  They continue to be one of our favorite local partners, not just because of their wonderful food, but because of the incredible support they show our community. Whether it’s stepping up for events, helping with last‑minute needs, or just being a positive presence in Anchorage, they always go above and beyond. Their staff is truly amazing; warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Every interaction feels genuine, and they consistently make sure everything is taken care of with professionalism and kindness. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and care deeply about the people they serve.

Angela M.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peppercini’s Catering for numerous events over the years—from small internal gatherings to large‑scale member celebrations—and they have consistently exceeded expectations. Jason and his team are truly top‑notch. They are professional, reliable, and always deliver exceptional service.
Their food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, while their team demonstrates meticulous care and attention to every detail. Whether catering Chamber Business After Hours, Nuvision Member Celebration events, or serving at venues such as the Anchorage Museum and Alaska Aviation Museum, Peppercini’s has proven their excellence across the city. Regardless of scale or setting, they remain our trusted partner of choice.
What truly distinguishes Peppercini’s is their commitment to community. They have been instrumental partners in our Meals of Gratitude initiative, providing Thanksgiving meals to local Title I schools year after year. Their generosity, professionalism, and genuine community spirit set them apart from other caterers.
I can’t say enough about this amazing team—Peppercini’s Catering is simply the best!

Amy T.

Peppercini’s Catering has always had friendly and hardworking staff at every event they have catered for us

Audrey P.

Peppercini’s Catering has been fantastic to work with. Their food is consistently exceptional, and their team reliably handles complex logistics—sometimes catering multiple locations for us on the same day and feeding close to 400 people. Their professionalism and quality make them an easy choice. We can’t recommend them enough!

America M.

I can’t thank Peppercini’s catering enough for their partnership over the years. Our company works in the tourism industry and we occasionally need to order lunches for our guests. From small orders of 10-15 lunches to orders of over 1,200 lunches, Peppercinis has always exceeded our expectations. Their team have always been prompt with email replies and have worked with us to overcome some huge logistical challenges over the years. There is no other company that I consider when its time to cater food.

Chris H.

Our team is thrilled when they see Peppercini’s is catering the event. Their food is hot and fresh, with friendly staff, and a speedy set up and breakdown. They take exceptional care of us for all size events.

How far in advance should I book wedding or event catering?2025-11-03T23:01:29-09:00

We recommend booking at least 2–4 months in advance for weddings or large events to secure your preferred date. For smaller gatherings, two weeks’ notice is typically enough. That said, our team often accommodates last-minute events—so it’s always worth giving us a call at (907) 279‑3354 to check availability.

Do you handle rentals like linens, china, glassware, tables, and chairs, or coordinate with rental companies?2026-04-24T15:11:48-08:00

Most/all of our events utilize “wedding quality” We offer “real” china/glass/cutlery for an additional fee.

How long does staff stay on site, and what time do they arrive for setup and breakdown?2026-04-24T15:14:20-08:00

A “typical event” will have our crew arriving 90 minutes prior to start time, serving for around 1 to 1.5 hours and then an hour for clean up.  That being said, EVERY event is unique and we are here to make your event planning easier.  Anything that we can do to help make that possible is our goal!

What do you need from my venue (power, water, prep space, load‑in instructions, parking, elevator access, outdoor access)?2026-04-24T15:12:10-08:00

After 19 years of catering in Anchorage, there is not much we have not seen.  Peppercini’s has the ability to handle venues without water and/or power!

What can I expect if we hire Peppercini’s to cater our wedding?2026-04-14T11:19:20-08:00

Because weddings are so unique, we plan a (75-90 minute) wedding consultation with all interested couples. The wedding planning meeting usually takes place in our midtown Anchorage office, but we do meet some couples via Zoom or at a venue.  During this meeting, we go over all kinds of details to give you a broad overview of what services & menus we offer.  By the end of the wedding consultation, you will have a clear picture of: Arrival/departure times, uniforms, styles of service, serviceware options, menus, timing, and most importantly, cost.

Can I customize my wedding or event menu with Peppercini’s?2026-04-24T15:12:27-08:00

No, but Anchorage is blessed to have a large number of highly qualified event planners.  We are happy to work with your chosen coordinator to make your event stress free!
