Since the Turn of the Century — Where Tradition Meets Taste
Nestled in the heart of Coral Springs, Pepperoni Grill is more than just an Italian-American restaurant — it’s a celebration of family, flavor, and timeless tradition. For over a century, our recipes have been passed down through generations, lovingly preserved from our great- grandmother’s kitchen in Southern Italy to your plate today. We opened our doors in 1999 with one goal: to bring real, soulful Italian cooking to our community. Every dish we serve tells a story — of Sunday dinners, handwritten recipe books, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re grabbing a slice on the go or sitting down for a full-course meal with your loved ones, Pepperoni Grill offers an experience rooted in authenticity. From our hand-rolled lasagna to our signature marinara sauce (still made from a closely guarded family recipe), everything on the menu is crafted with the same care and tradition we’ve honored for more than 120 years.

Creating a Menu Story
The Mushroom Soup, a fan-favorite soup of the day for 26 years, was created by Michael as a result of a happy accident.
- In a stroke of genius, he chose to substitute portobello mushrooms in a broccoli soup recipe; What he initially thought might have been a mistake birthed a creamy and delicious, one-of-a-kind soup. To place the legacy of this soup into perspective: to this day, customers leave their phone numbers with our staff to be notified when the mushroom soup is our soup du jour. It’ll be your lucky day if the mushroom soup is available upon ordering, as it is a must-try!
- Michael brings the tastes of his hometown, Philadelphia—a melting pot for food lovers to the plate at Pepperoni Grill in the Pepperoni Sticks. Made fresh daily, Pepperoni Sticks are served in orders of 3 or 6, offering a tasty twist on a bread stick as it is stuffed with pepperoni.
Michael welcomes our customers home in the way he knows best: by cooking his grandma’s recipes to invite them to the tastes of his favorite Italian kitchen.
- His grandmother’s lasagna has been a favorite among his family for decades, and this love has been extended to his customers. A recipe, passed down to Michael through generations, originates from Calabria, Italy, where his family line is from. With accents of authentic Italian flavors, the layers of sausage and cheeses are delicately compiled to form an irresistible dish of Italian glory.
- The marinara sauce is the pinnacle of our menu, as a supporting base for dozens of menu items, including our mozzarella sticks, pasta dishes, and even our pizzas. The sauce is another recipe from Michael’s grandmother’s kitchen, and delivers the experience of authenticity in every bite, no matter the dish it complements.
- The pasta fagioli soup holds a permanent spot on our soup menu, offering a comforting side option that makes ordering feel at home. The soup was a classic in Michael’s household, cooked by his mother and grandmother. The medley of beans, carrots, onions, celery, bacon, and pasta provides a hearty and balanced soup that pairs well with any of our entrees.
Our Story
A Culinary Foundation
Michael Weingard graduates from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (Class of 1993), building a strong foundation in classic and modern culinary techniques.
Learning from the Best
While completing his formal education, Michael undertakes an externship at Campanile in Los Angeles, working under renowned Chef Mark Peel and Michelin-starred, James Beard Award-winning Chef Nancy Silverton—an experience that shaped his approach to Italian-American cuisine.
Immersed in Italy
Driven by passion and curiosity, Michael spends a full year in Florence, Italy, deepening his understanding of authentic Italian cooking, regional flavors, and culinary traditions.
Bringing Italian Cuisine Home
Returning to the United States, Michael partners with his mentor and cousin, Tony D’Silvestro, in Virginia Beach to help develop Ynot Pizza, a concept that would later grow into the well-known Ynot Italian franchise across Virginia.
The Birth of Pepperoni Grill
After five successful years at Ynot Pizza, Michael relocates to Coral Springs, Florida, where he helps create and launch Pepperoni Grill. From the very beginning, the restaurant is rooted in authenticity, family tradition, and heartfelt hospitality.
Crafting the Pepperoni Grill Identity
Michael blends generations-old family recipes—like his grandmother’s pasta fagioli, lasagna, and marinara sauce—with his own original creations, including house-made mushroom soup and signature pepperoni sticks. Every dish reflects his culinary journey and dedication to quality.
A Community Staple
Through tireless work and a committed team, Pepperoni Grill becomes a beloved Coral Springs institution. The restaurant develops trusted catering partnerships with schools, religious centers, sports teams, and local organizations, strengthening its role within the community.
