Food
The restaurant offers pizza in a variety of sizes and crust types. Each restaurant makes its dough from scratch each day. Other foods offered include: chicken wings, salads, bread sticks, a cinnamon crunch dessert, and beer and wine at some locations. A lunch buffet is offered as well during weekday lunch hours at a low cost.
Peter Piper Pizza has various seating options to fit most occasions, including outdoor patios and private event rooms at select restaurants.
Entertainment
Most locations feature a large game room filled with video games, classic games (e.g., skee-ball), slides, tunnels, and toddler areas suitable for small children. Tokens must be purchased to play the games. Many of the games produce tickets that can be redeemed for prizes at the prize redemption counter.
Rebranding Controversy
In March 2014, Peter Piper Pizza redesigned its logo utilizing a serif font face following an abstract design. The new logo was created by WD Partners as part of an effort to connect "with Gen X and Millennial parents." The updated design was widely panned.
