Pizza Bruno

Try the octopus! Okay, so it's not the usual lead for a blurb about a local pizza joint, but we're local, so take our word. Chef Bruno's wine-glazed, wood-fired octopus is the stuff even your kids (well, assuming they're adventurous eaters) will scarf down. And before the pizza arrives, too. You likely won't have much time, Pizza Bruno's specialty is Neopolitan-style pies, which means roughly a minute or so inside a 900-degree oven and it's headed to your table, crisp, delicious and ready for consumption. If you're a toppings-focused gourmand, you might want to knife-and-fork it. Pizza Bruno isn't just known for it's pizza, though. The garlic knots are legendary among locals and it's brunch – they do breakfasty things alongside the regular menu – is exceedingly popular. Come get it.
