My husband and I ordered from Bruno’s online at 7:45pm. We received a notification saying our order would be delivered between 8:15-8:30pm. At 8:40 we still had not received our order, my husband then checked the online order and noticed that our money was refunded. He tried calling multiple times to see what was going on and no one answered the phone. There was no phone call or any communication made to us letting us know that we would not be receiving our order! This was the first time we ordered from this place, and will be our last!

Possibly the best New York-style takeout pizza on Merritt Island. The stromboli and calzones are also quite good. There are a few closer pizza places, but when taste really matters this is the one I go back to. The staff is always pleasant and if something isn't quite right they go out of their way to fix it.

Used to be our favorite pizza place. Would have rated it a 5. Always touted their pizza too. Unfortunately over time, not only have their prices have gone up, but the quality and the quantity has gone down.You can definitely tell that the ingredients have changed. And I can guarantee it's not for better ingredients. Sometimes when we used to call, there would be no delivery. So we have definitely cut back on ordering from them as they fall prey to the same tactics many food establishments fall into; trying to squeeze every dollar while simultaneously raising the prices and cutting back on the quantity, and quality.The pizza used to be like true New York Pizza where it had so much cheese that the reddish looking grease would accumulate on top of the cheese. Now it has such little cheese that you get spots where there isn't any cheese on it and the bread bubbles up.Tonight we got a non-sliced pie with barely any pepperoni and bread bubbles and spots from lack of cheese. They literally forgot to slice it. The pepperonis have gotten smaller and few and far between. I don't mind paying a little more. And I tip well too. But I do mind getting less toppings on a more expensive pizza. I was going to call to speak to the manager before writing this review, but I don't want to be that guy because it's not going to make a difference anyway. It's been going on for a while already, and will continue, until people just start ordering somewhere else and they have to close their doors, or they make even more drastic cuts while continuing to raise the price.

The pizza was amazing. I am new to the area, and this is one of my go-to spots.
The wife and I were in the mood for pizza and wanted to try a local place we haven't tried before. We ordered two pies from a small place called Bruno's that's been a staple of Merritt Island for many years. I ordered a loaded pizza and the wife ordered a mushroom pizza. We went to pick them up and there was one person running the place and he was very busy so we had to wait a bit, although he was very friendly and apologetic. First thing we noticed when we got home was the toppings were virtually anorexic, then when we tried it. The crust was dense and tough, appeared premade or frozen. I always thought that even bad pizza was good, but cannot give this pizza even a good rating although the taste was ok. I won't be going back unless this was the only place open during a hurricane, lol.

Bruno's Pizzeria- Cocoa Beach- 0.5 Stars
"Swill Alert"
Bruno's Pizzeria- Cocoa Beach- 0.5 Stars
"Swill Alert" "Absolute Worst Pizza In Brevard"
"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." -- Harriet Van Horne
Found inside a dingy dump of a building on Orlando Avenue in Cocoa Beach sits store #2 in the expanded chain of Bruno's Pizzeria, the first being in Merritt Island.
One would think that when a restaurant opens a new location they must be doing something right. However, in the case of the Bruno's Pizzeria, they would be sadly mistaken. While my server, Susie (who doubled as the barkeep) was exceedingly charming and friendly, not even her professionalism or personality could save this food. I ordered their Stuffed Meat Pizza consisting of pepperoni, ham, sausage and meatball.
Waiting for Susie to return with our order I noticed the inside was not all that better than the outside of the building. While kept neat and tidy, there was this overall sense of foreboding and dilapidation snuggled into the shadowed corners and ceiling of this aforementioned dump of a little shack. The mood immediately changes with the return of the ever suave Susie with the meal.
I wasn't sure if this was the Stuffed Crust Pizza of Pizza Hut infamy taken to extremes or a poor knock-off of Chicago Style Deep Dish Pie, either way, it was a huge letdown. The crust was stuffed if one can call it that, with some of the cheapest tasting pizza sauce I have ever had the displeasure of eating. Seriously, the Ragu pizza sauce you can buy in a jar at Publix is a step up from this and that stuff is crap. Not wanting the sauce to look out of place, the crust, while cooked to an aesthetically pleasing golden brown and garnished with sprinkled parmesan cheese gave the experience of chewing on construction paper only not as tasty.
Sadly, once I broke through the upper crust, I was greeted with more of the same repulsive sauce and the grossest meats I have yet to encounter in a low-end eatery such as this. The pepperoni was devoid of all flavor, the ham was pre-processed, pre-formed, injected with flavorings, and then sliced, the sausage was not only tasteless but had the consistency of a wad of paper resembling the spitballs of junior high, the meatballs tasted exactly like the cheap meatballs served at concession stands at high schools across the country. They had that processed food taste like they weren't real meatballs or even food for that matter. What I can only surmise was a loan slice of green bell pepper was found trying to escape the horrors of the kitchen by hiding inside my pizza. Glancing at the menu I don't even know what a green bell pepper was doing in the kitchen in the first place as the menu clearly stated they had "sweet" bell peppers and one does not need to be a food critic to know the green ones are not the sweet ones (it's the red, yellow and orange ones). When you deal in the lowest common denominator, you can't have high expectations and clearly, the staff at Bruno's has very low expectations.
The ingredients used here make Domino's look gourmet. While I did not see my least favorite food purveyors truck outside, I am willing to bet the Big Boy Mobile they get their crap from Sysco.
