Pizza Bruno

In town for work and a few coworkers and I stopped in for dinner.Food: Excellent we had some delicious garlic "knots" to start out with. These were not your average knots and an amount of garlic that would kill a vampire if he walked into the restaurant.Service: Excellent, we were greeted as we arrived by a host at a reception type desk, she and our waitress were equally friendly and polite. Our waitress was helpful and attentive.Ambiance: Welcoming environment, with a laid back feel. Modern diner vibes, full bar, booth seating and outdoor dining. Great pizza, that wood burned oven taste. Delicious.

Heard a lot of good things about this place from the local foodie community and so I've had this pizza spot on my list to try for months. I did an online order from their website and got the "ninety two" with added extra pepperoni for $6 more. I also had to threw in the garlic knots because the reviews and the establishment itself said it was a must try. After fees and a mandatory gratuity my total came out to $43 after the $5 discount for spending $40 or more so not cheap but maybe it's worth it.I went to pick up the pizza and immediately noticed the size of it resembled a medium pie from a chain like dominos or papa John's but again, I thought to myself the taste had to compensate for the price and the size. The pie had good crust and plentiful of toppings but the taste was just lackluster. I had half the pizza and ultimately was a bit dissatisfied. The garlic knots were great and I love that they provided plenty of garlic butter/oil to pour on it. I do wish the rolls were more soft but otherwise the taste was on point.The takeout section of the shop was obvious when you pull into the parking lot and I didn't had to wait long when I arrived to get my items and leave.I really wanted to like this place more because I've heard many good things but it was just okay even if we weren't taking price into consideration. I'm sure the quality of the ingredients is really good though and I would come back to try a different pie.

Update: The owner contacted me immediately after I reached out and rectified the situation as well as removed the incorrect and outdated "special" from their website. This goes a long with me and I appreciate the desire to make things right. Ordered to go and ordered a "special" advertised on their website for a salad, pizza, and box of house made Italian cookies. Sounded pretty awesome! When I went to pick it up I asked about my cookies and was told it comes with a cannoli?! Well that was a huge disappointment and considering no one called to tell me this ahead of time and of course I prepaid, I was not very happy. They were busy and there were people behind me so I didn't want to make it a big deal, However when I came come and looked at the individual prices of everything it wasn't a special at all, and considering I didn't want a cannoli I could have saved myself $7. I tried to call a few times to talk to a manager the next day to see what their response was but no one ever answered the phone. Unfortunately I have to leave a review in the hopes that no one else decides to buy the "special" because most of their pizzas are less than the one I bought so you wouldn't be getting a good deal at all. Food wise taste was decent. I've been once before but sadly I don't think I will be back again.

Let me just say this was a pleasant surprise. i was on Orlando with my mom and aunts getting ready for a cruise and I wanted to find something we could all enjoy and Italian is usually easy. However, WOW soo good! we had a little of everything wings, pizza and octopus. Now those are some options and all were so delicious, personally the octopus was my favorite, fennel and citrus was the best accompaniment, I had never had. Also our waitress "customize" our pizza as my aunt love sausage so we did a margarita but added sausage and she loved it.

I tried the cheese pizza and found it quite decent. The cheese is plentiful and fragrant, but the crust is a bit thick. The price is reasonable, but the restaurant space is a bit noisy. The staff is enthusiastic.

Food is always good l. We went during lunch and a few tables came at same time so she had a lot to do. My drinks came about 2 garlic knots in but really that was the only hiccup. Had the knots they seemed extra garlicky but that didn't stop us. I had the meatballs and wings tasty and always on point. My bf had the lunch special with salad and the trucker pizza with all the meats. Our friend got the nonnies pizza. With meatballs also good. All in all a solid lunch but over 100$ for 3 does seem like a bit for lunch. Wish the meat balls had more ricotta and less sauce. They used to years ago.

The desire to eat here was huge. I will admit I'm a picky pizza person (Chicago native) and I knew I wasn't getting Chicago style. Went at 3:30 ish. Not busy, sat quickly, server was polite and quick, but nothing to write home about. She was alone and serving the entire restaurant so like: kudos ma'am! Kudos. We read the reviews we knew we had to get garlic knots, meatballs and the ghost pizza. We did and we have leftovers for tomorrow which I'm very excited for. The garlic knots and meatballs I liked better than the pizza. I maybe would try a different one next time. It wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea, I like more cheese! I wanted my knots to be slightly softer but I'm not sure that makes anything wrong with them though. The vibe was cool for sure could see a wait later in the evening or on a sunny afternoon in the spring on the patio but for a rainy hurricane Sunday afternoon this was just the perfect quick stop.

No matter what you do.. do not skip the knots! Definitely my favorite garlic knots in all of Orlando. On top of the knots, this is such a classic neo pizza. It is so fresh and everything is made in house upon order. The quality is always so consistent I trust trying different pies and knowing it will be good. Pizza Bruno is a staple dinner spot in Orlando you have to check out! Not pictured is the meatball with the lemon ricotta that is always delicious. If you like lemon I recommend trying something on the menu with their ricotta!!!

The garlic knots are VERY garlicy, but my family & I love them! The pizzas are delicious and the kale salad is to die for. So so good! Only thing is that the restaurant is small, so you may have to wait a little to sit. But they also do take out.

I know this place has "pizza" in the name, but let me put you onto something else that they have that's absolutely exceptional: the garlic knots. The best garlic knots I've had locally, if not ever! If you like garlic, and would consider it essential, you will love the garlic spread on their knots.As for the pizza, I always get the Roni. The pizza is made fresh in-house, and you can tell the ingredients are high-quality. I always have at least half a pizza to bring home, it's that much food. This restaurant definitely has a cute little hole in the wall kind of vibe. It's dimly lit and cozy; perfect for date night! They also have a really nice porch that you can sit out on that they light with fairy lights at night. The waiters are always attentive and happy to give recommendations.It's great vibes all around, but would highly recommend coming at night for the moody vibes and a delish dinner!
