Since Peppino's Neapolitan opened in Armory Square in May 2015, it's been a different kind of pizza place. No "New York style" slices: It's offered whole pizzas, built to order, cooked Italian-style in a brick-lined oven for a soft, light and airy crust.

Now the restaurant at 409 S. Clinton St. is doing something different again: It's expanding with full table service at night, a larger dinner menu with added pizzas, new pasta dishes and a bar serving craft beers, wine and cocktails. The pasta is made in-house, in a glass-enclosed booth where diners can watch the process.
