Update: Gave Brunos another try and ordered a meatball parm and this is what I got. Two meatball in a bun this size! What a joke! Forget this place, down to 1 star! Normally Brunos is on point, but today I felt the need to write this review. After placing a delivery order at 1:15 and being told 40 mins, I didnt recieve my COLD pizza until 2:40. 1.5 hours is poor at that and I wasnt offered any reimbursement for this COLD food. This was a total fail to a loyal customer.

I would certainly stop here for lunch again. The place is spacious, the staff were exceedingly friendly, and my pasta was well cooked and well seasoned.

What a shame heard great things and a complete failure all pizza under cooked Under carriage completely white no crisp Except the square crust. But the sauce was great. Is why it got 2 stars And meatballs were terrible didn't even finish

I'm from out of town and came here by a friend's recommendation. It did not disappoint! Best rice balls with vodka sauce I ever had. The sicilian pie was phenomenal and broccoli rabe was very good. The service was great and I felt very respected and welcomed by the staff. Will definitely come again next time I'm in the neighborhood.

The Sicilian, or Square pizza etc is still one of the best around. BUT, today when I picked up my Pizza and came home it was so undercooked it was like picking up a WET SPONGE!! Luckily, I put it in the oven at 425 minutes for 4 minutes and the pie came out perfect. I am still giving it 4 stars because the ingredients and pizza is normally excellent. Hopefully, the owner will read this and fix this from happening again. Other reviews said the same exact thing !!

It is an enjoyable place to get dinner. Service is quick, and portions are a very nice size. Generally, when I go to new places, I always make it a point to try the fried calamari. This night, on the specials menu, was a Thai Fried Calamari appetizer which is topped with sweet chili sauce, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds. A decent size plate too. It was really good! I would definitely order it again. Main entrees this evening were Chicken Pesto, sautéed chicken breast, grape tomatoes in a light pesto sauce served over rigatoni(my choice of pasta). Other entrees were Broccoli Cavatelli, sautéed broccoli in garlic and oil mixed in with Cavalli pasta and a meat lasagna. All had high marks. The cheese on the meat lasagna seemed overly salty, but generally, it was a pretty decent dish.

Recently ordered pizza from them when visiting family since I haven’t been here in over ten plus years after moving to NY. & the pizza is the same great tasting pizza I used to get on my half days at school when I was at Woodrow Wilson Middle School.

First time at Brunos’s and maybe the last! Pizza crust was very thick and sauce? Omg like you pour salt into your mouth! Very very salty and they put to much spice in it. We didn’t like it at all:-(

Bruno's is my favorite thick crust pizza. I can't explain the style, it's an upside down Sicilian--similar to L&B, except you don't have to wait for 45 min and there's parking.

My wife picked up a pie and a spinach stromboli, it was EXCELLENT!!! The new owners are doing a great job and the place looks beautiful now, haven't been there in 3 years and was surprised to learn the business was sold, the new owners really did a nice job!! 👍👍👍 And I wish the former owners a great well deserved retirement especially Mike, thank you for all the great food and laughs we had!!

Haven't been here in a long, long time. It's still awesome, nice, thin crust , great sauce , cheese and not greasy. Nice and crispy. Great pizza place.

Nice place inside, everything seems to be updated enough, and you can definitely sit down and enjoy your meal comfortably. I have only tried the Sicilian because its the best in the area so when i go there its specifically for that. The sauce for the sicilian is definitely the star of the show in my opinion, (I'm not sure if they use the same sauce on their slices or other pizzas) with a thin but perfect layer of cheese and a tasty crust. I enjoy my slice right off the display tray at room temperature, never hot but I imagine it's good either way, it's just my preference.

Old school pizza with fresh ingredients and dough done the right way. Staff was amazing and made sure we were never without anything.

Grew up with this place. I heard it was done over. No better. Pizza is not crispy its soggy the back now looks like a run of the mill pizza place, itt used to look like a more cozy restauranty look to it, chairs are uncomfortable as all hell. Def wont be going back. Sorry but pizza is supposed to have crispy crust, not floppy and full of oil..who ever said it was a new owner and the food is better must not know Italian food or good pizza.

Excellent vodka fresh mozzarella square pizza! Our new favorite!

Hands down the best slice in Clifton, NJ. I grew up in Clifton and this has been my favorite spot for years. I usually go for a plain slice, but their rigatoni and vodka sauce is amazing too! I always make it a point to stop here when I’m back home in NJ because it just feels like home. If you’re in the area, definitely stop in at Bruno’s. You will not be disappointed.

Ordered a baked ziti with grilled chicken and they actually forgot the pasta… this is literally just sauce and grilled chicken. Not a single pasta in the dish. At least the pizza slice was good.

I called for a Sicilian pizza Dude says sure one square pie It’s a rectangle and smaller than any normal Sicilian Also floppy and too spongy. It’s just ok. They need to make our way thinner and crispier they could have something great

My favorite square pie since I was a little kid. I live a half hour away and still come here if I’m craving good pizza. Always a pleasure!

The last time I was there, they totally messed up my order. I ordered a sausage with peppers and onions sandwich, just that, nothing else on it. I expected just that; just a simple as ordered sandwich. Instead, what do they do? Well, they put the sandwich together with the sausage, peppers, and onions, all right, and then they ruined it by putting tomato sauce on it, in spite of the specificity of my order. It was a good thing I caught them. Otherwise it would have been a gastronomical disaster for me. Where I was raised, a good Italian sausage doesn't need any kind of condiments on it. It should be good enough as is. I had to make them cook up a completely new sandwich. It was a total waste of my time. And to boot, the sandwich wasn't that good either. Not satisfied at all.

Haven't had Bruno's in awhile man I wish I lived closer I'm an hour away.. such a great square pie.. barstool doesn't know pizza when he only gave a 7.3 more like 8.6

Lived around here my whole life and always did take out. Love the square pie here! Actually tried the round pie this time and the Caesar salad. Salad was amazing. The server in the back was very friendly and made some good recommendations. She also gave my kids some crayons and coloring books while we waited for the food. The entire place is remodeled inside for it's 50th year anniversary.

I've been enjoying Bruno's pizza since the mid 70's. Same great taste today as back then! The Sicilian Bruno's Special pizza is a MUST!!! And the people are just as friendly as the food is good!

The pizza sauce and cheese was great. I haven't had a slice of Pizza with such great taste since I was a teenager. I live in New York and not even Patsy's Pizza located at 117th Street 1st Avenue beats the Taste of Brunos at the Clifton Mall Plaza.

Ordered Square Pie, round pie, and the Best mussels EVER! Large and plump, and sauce was great, the meat in the mussels were almost as big as the shells..

Super solid pizza shop; picked up 8 pies for our shop the other day and the whole staff loved the food. Sauce and cheese is on point and the dough is just like Nona would of made. Guys behind the counter were super friendly highly recommend as a solid and economical choice for this area. Will be back again.

Great pizza.. I also love some of there food like the penne alla vodka. Owner has always been nice as well as workers. I enjoy this place!

The sauce is salty and tart. I saw this place on the 99 best pizza in NJ list so decided to give it a try, that was a mistake I won't make again. Also, a really uncomfortable "whites only" vibe in here. If you care about that type of thing you might want to avoid this place.

It is really easy to accidentally bypass Bruno's - it's one of several storefronts in a nondescript strip mall right off 46 West. Despite living five minutes away, I didn't end up stopping by until Bruno's was featured as one of the top 100 pizza places in the country (I THINK it was the Daily Meal's list from a few years ago, but I could be mistaken). The chum I brought wasn't as enthused as I was, but she also made it clear at the time that she doesn't like sauce-dominant pizza. I suspect it was also an act of defiance after having to go to 50 other places with me because they happened to be on a random list, but I can't confirm that. My usual pizza preference is unapologetically snobby. I love Neapolitan, wood-fired pizza and rarely frequent the more blue collar, few-bucks-a-slice restaurants (when I lived in the city, I never went to Ray's, for instance). This is a deserved exception to the rule. It's no frills, affordable, tasty pizza. I always get the plain square Sicilian slices. As previously alluded to, the star of this pizza is the sauce - it's got a nice little zip to it, and it manages to be thick without having tons of chunky, crunchy shizzle in it, like bits of tomato slices, onions, etc., which is a palate pet peeve of mine. The cheese is decent but as a supporting cast member doesn't need to be more than that. The crust/dough is very solid, though sometimes a LITTLE chewier/doughier than I'd prefer (I like a nice crispness to a Sicilian slice). The staff is always efficient and excellent. Most of the time the counter is manned by older Italian guys who know their craft and can ably juggle multiple tasks at once without sacrificing the customer service. Are there better pizzas in the area? In my opinion, yes, but I think this one has the best bang for the buck.
