Bruno's Italian Restaurant

It's so sad that Brunos has been out of business for years....I wish they would open again as this was the very Best pizza there ever was in the Valley....long live the Double Dough Deluxe....i Hope someday i can get the recipe!!

I grew up watching Jerry toss pizzas while I was standing on the old wooden step in front of the window. I watched so much I can still copy exactly what he used to do. It's now 45 years later and I live in Seattle, and to this day I have never had a better pizza than the ones Jerry made. I tell everyone how he would put the cheese on first and THEN spoon the sauce in a spiral over the cheese, sprinkle some herbs over the top. Someone told me that was called a reverse pizza, I don't know about that, but what I do know is that I am still searching for a pizza that is as good, after all these years. It is a wonderful childhood memory that I have of growing up in Canoga Park. Friday nights pickiing up a pizza and a loaf of mama's bread. OMG. Jerry Jr. took the place over and was still as good as ever. One thing I will always remember is how when anyone came in, they new Jerry and he would call them by name, and probably knew everyone for years and years. It was great and he had old black and white pictures on the wall of him with famous people like Dean Martin (I think). I've never been to NY, but I think Bruno's pizza must have stepped right out of NY and dropped onto Sherman Way. Everyone I knew went to Bruno's - I don't know if it is still there or not, I hope so and if I ever get to SFV again, you bet it will be on the top of my list. Love to the Bruno family for the best memories, pizza and mama's bread. Lou Ann Blackmore
