“I would like to thank Olti and Wanda at Bro's Pizza for helping make the food at our Non-profit fundraiser a wonderful success. Between them both, they helped us to select great items and pizza 🍕 toppings that would work to serve our crowd. The pizza was plentiful and delicious. Upon pick-up, the 20" pizzas were hot and ready. We really appreciate the quality of the food and how attentive the owner, Olti and Wanda were to the smallest of details for us. I would not hesitate to use Bro's Pizza for my next event. They were such a pleasure to work with and the food was beyond delicious. Thank you once again. Carol (Cari) Heald S.E.

“Delicious pizza! Had the deluxe. Loved the crust and the cheese. Plenty of topping. Now one of our fave pizzas ever! Wings were good. Needed more sauce. Was surprised they charged for blue cheese but it was good. We will crave this pizza!!“

“The pizzas are great we ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and it was fantastic. But the pasta entrees are my family’s favorite. The pasta puttanesca is truly amazing. We have been here a few times and we order it with shrimp or blackened chicken. The portions are American Italian so you will have some to take home. The house salad is also excellent. The Italian Margarita is a refreshing drink after a few hours in the burning sun.“
