Pepper Lunch expands to north Phoenix for 2nd AZ location

🥢 Pepper Lunch, a Japanese “fast-steak” chain that made its Arizona debut in Tempe in September, has opened a second location near the southeast corner of I-17 and Dove Valley in north Phoenix.

This is the same franchise group behind the Mill Avenue location, so clearly things are going well enough to justify a second outpost for all of you who weren’t about to fight college kids for a table.

The concept is simple and deeply satisfying: beef, rice, pepper paste, and freshly cracked black pepper all land on a patented sizzling iron plate, and you mix it yourself tableside.

Open for lunch and dinner daily.
