I have been traveling to Mishawaka/South Bend for years to attend Notre Dame games and Bruno’s pizza is part of the tradition. The food is always phenomenal but what’s even better is the treatment I get from the owner, his family, and staff. They make me feel like a long time friend and I am looking forward to my golf outing this May to have their great food and service once again.

We ordered an extra large pizza for carryout. Bruno's stands out because they always give you a ton of yummy cheese on the pizza, which other pizza places skimp on. The flavor of their crust is pretty good and recognizable, and has depth which most competitors lack. It's mostly a sour crust but also tastes of fragrant herbs, and it's not sugary or saltine-y like the icky big-pizza-chain crusts. Bruno's sauce is solid and the toppings are always bursting with flavor and high quality, and thoughtfully shaped to get a good mouth feel. Their Italian sausage is my favorite take--you'd never mix it up with competitors because it's super spicy and the texture is great. The extra large pizza is a good deal as pizza goes, considering the size and how many days of delicious Bruno's leftovers you get. Glad this distinctive local chain has survived and is still just as committed to excellence as when Bruno was alive.

Live live love. In Mishawaka or South Bend, this is my Goto. I live in Florida, but every time I go home I buy 2 Xlrg and freeze them to bring back to FL. Johnny Cataldo, Bruno's son, in my opinion, is the best in town. I heard the others are all franchises now. They are on Ironwood and Jefferson next to the old Stude's night

I don't usually write reviews, but I had to for this one. Chesse bread arrived cold, lifeless, stiff, and had hair baked into the chesse (see in pictures). The pizza is supposed to have been half meatballs and half pepperoni, but there's no pepperoni underneath the surface or on the surface of this pizza. The pizza had a foul odor and lacked that classic Bruno's flavor that I enjoyed visiting from Chicago many times. Grubhub failed to address my concerns pertaining to my nightmarish order. I am completely let down and wasted my money.

Good pizza, slow service. Got there on the time stated to get my carry out and it wasn’t even started yet. The younger girl at the counter does the whole “whisper and smirk thing to the other workers when you ask them how long”. Pretty rude.

Ordered a large half cheese half sausage mushroom onion get home on what I've got is onion and pepperoni with some kind of hot pepper on it this is not what I ordered when I called in to tell the girl I was giving the wrong Pizza she did not seem to give a damn there was no offer of replacing it for the right item or for a credit for next time I came in this is not the way to keep customers coming back
As someone who grew up in Chicago, I was excited to have found a local place that makes Chicago deep dish. Since I'm a bit of a skeptic, I decided to try their regular pizza first. Sunday evening I placed an order via ubereats and waited patiently, then waited some more, only to receive a message that the restaurant canceled the order. Thought to myself "ok that's probably on me I should have ordered earlier in the day" I didn't think much of it and tried again on another day. This time I even ordered it a couple of hours in advance. Right around the time it was scheduled for I received a message from the ubereats driver stating "they had part of your pizza stick to the oven" odd but ok mistakes happen. I naively assumed that it was being remade and the driver just wanted to let me know why it was going to be a bit late, no big deal. But um yeah I wrong to think that. Confusion came over my face as I read "no he refuses to remake it... wait what... the driver calls and puts it on speaker phone so I could talk to the employee. Wow I was speechless at the level of rude unprofessionalism the employee showed during that call. He talked down to me and the driver, refused to remake the pizza or even apologize for his mistake. Instead he acted like it was my fault and the idea of remaking it was utterly absurd. I will never order food from any restaurant that lets their employee treat customers like that. If you want a correct order and to be treated like a person, order elsewhere.

It's been years since I had this pizza, the reviews worried me, but I'm glad I ignored them. It exceeded the expectations of my memory. Have to make sure the amount of time in-between visits is not years this time.

My absolute favorite pizza in town. Period. Amazing! Super thick, tons of toppings. One or two slices is all you need to fill you up. Parking is hard to come by at this location, but that's a small quibble. There isn't any dine-in at this location, so don't plan on staying around to eat on-site.
