Have to be honest. Heard good things about this place. Was not happy with the regular pie. One and out for me. Sorry
I ordered a simple pie of plain pizza and wings. The pizza was so full of cheese and salty and extremely saggy i didn’t even enjoy it. Then the wings were saggy and salty as well, not to mention how skinny and meatless they were. Wouldn’t buy pizza again here unfortunately. Not sure what’s the hype about.
I stopped here on a long bike ride a few days ago and this place is great! I ordered a chicken wrap with fries. Fries were PERFECT on the crunch and tase. Friendly service and a nice amount of space inside.
Great pizza.. I also love some of there food like the penne alla vodka. Owner has always been nice as well as workers. I enjoy this place!
The people were very nice. Staff was so friendly and inviting. they change the decor with each holiday and they had art work with vintage photos of "first kiss" for Valentine's day. So cute. We had Sicilian and it was really tasty. Even had a good chat with the regulars. It was a good stop. We will go back again when in the area.
Food was great...just like I remembered. The fried calamari is the best I've ever had!
It is really easy to accidentally bypass Bruno's - it's one of several storefronts in a nondescript strip mall right off 46 West. Despite living five minutes away, I didn't end up stopping by until Bruno's was featured as one of the top 100 pizza places in the country (I THINK it was the Daily Meal's list from a few years ago, but I could be mistaken). The chum I brought wasn't as enthused as I was, but she also made it clear at the time that she doesn't like sauce-dominant pizza. I suspect it was also an act of defiance after having to go to 50 other places with me because they happened to be on a random list, but I can't confirm that.My usual pizza preference is unapologetically snobby. I love Neapolitan, wood-fired pizza and rarely frequent the more blue collar, few-bucks-a-slice restaurants (when I lived in the city, I never went to Ray's, for instance). This is a deserved exception to the rule. It's no frills, affordable, tasty pizza. I always get the plain square Sicilian slices. As previously alluded to, the star of this pizza is the sauce - it's got a nice little zip to it, and it manages to be thick without having tons of chunky, crunchy shizzle in it, like bits of tomato slices, onions, etc., which is a palate pet peeve of mine. The cheese is decent but as a supporting cast member doesn't need to be more than that. The crust/dough is very solid, though sometimes a LITTLE chewier/doughier than I'd prefer (I like a nice crispness to a Sicilian slice).The staff is always efficient and excellent. Most of the time the counter is manned by older Italian guys who know their craft and can ably juggle multiple tasks at once without sacrificing the customer service.Are there better pizzas in the area? In my opinion, yes, but I think this one has the best bang for the buck.
First time at Brunos’s and maybe the last! Pizza crust was very thick and sauce? Omg like you pour salt into your mouth! Very very salty and they put to much spice in it. We didn’t like it at all:-(
Ordered Square Pie, round pie, and the Best mussels EVER! Large and plump, and sauce was great, the meat in the mussels were almost as big as the shells..
It's been a while since I lived in Clifton, but anytime I'm nearby, I'm sure to visit Bruno's for some square pizza. I have no idea how they do it, but it's reliably been the best version I've ever had in my life. Take time to stop and enjoy one of Clifton's iconic and continuously good restaurants.
