First time to the new restaurant. The team was very friendly and helpful. They hustled to serve us and make sure we were happy. Finding the way to get to Bruno's is not easy. You have to wind through residential areas to get there. The parking lot is long and thin. A bit difficult getting in and out. Bruno's shares the lot with the brewery. Finding the Bruno's door is a bit difficult. Do I come in the front or the back? Once inside I was shocked at how small the seating area was. There were about 8 tables that would seat 40 people. Dinning in could be a challenge on a busy night. The seating was comfortable and relaxing. There was only one large wall of nostalgia to enjoy - just not the same. The food was just like you remember. The Bruno dough was a bit tough on this occasion. It was hard to bit and chew. The Deluxe pizza was excellent. The sweet sauce is my favorite. The cheese was piked high and thick - delicious!! The crust is thin and cooked with a slight crisp. read more

Went in on a busy Friday night for dinner at their new location, bt Brokerage. Even though I'd lived in Lafayette for almost three years, I decided it was time to see what the hype was all about! Pros - Even though it was a packed place, with a ton of to-go orders, we (group of four) were in and out in an hour and a half, even with two apps, two pizzas, and a stromboli. - Plentiful toppings on our pizza. Tons of good meat and flavor. - Service was good for a packed Friday night crowd, with our waiter checking on us, and refilling drinks before it was needed. Con (kind of) - Price is a bit high, but for a local spot with a HUGE cult following, it could have been worse. read more

Ate there for Father's Day. What a bad idea. Everyone who ate the pizza got sick. Everyone ate the brunodough so it wasn't that. GI distress and you know what. Gut aches aplenty. One had to call off work today. The people who did not have pizza were fine. So, something in the pizzas was bad last night. Either poor hygiene, spoiled food, or something else. First time we ever experienced this at Bruno's. We hvae been regular customers for more than 30 years, Think we are done with Bruno's. It's not worth the trip anymore. read more

Got a large bookmaker pizza (a supreme). Toppings were loaded which as fantastic. Taste wise, it felt average. Nothing to crazy, but better than your typical fastfood pizza joint. It was about $21 for a large 14" pizza which seemed a little above average. Staff was friendly and the restaurant had some interesting decor. Overall not a bad place, I wasn't personally head over heels but I'm not a major pizza person. 6.3/10 read more

Bruno’s Pizza - Boilermaker Pizza - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Bruno is a solid pizza place in West Lafayette that has the most amazing sports memorabilia room. Seriously they have memorabilia from every Purdue star and even stuff from Purdue athletes that made it to the big leagues. It is very fun to walk around and see it. Their pizza is thin style, cut into strips - which even for tavern thin I found odd, but whatever! Ingredients taste fresh. We also tried their dough balls, which I think are just fried dough - almost like funnel cake without the sugar. However, when paired with nacho cheese they were pretty good (I mean what isn't). We went there for an event, but it seems like they are only open for dine in a couple days a week and the weekend is all private parties only. There were TONS of take out orders. Big parking lot. Good spot by Purdue. read more

I love Bruno's, as it is a staple in West Lafayette with a ton of history. I was excited to hear that you can now dine in again! The restaurant has tons of Purdue memorabilia and hasn't changed one bit on the inside. Tina was our waitress, and was fantastic. We started with the Bruno dough which came out so fast. I love their pizza, especially the cheese and apple butter. read more

My wife and I had a very successful take-out experience from Bruno's tonight. This was our first time getting food from here and, even though this seems to be primarily known as a pizza place, we ordered non-pizza items: my wife had the mushroom ravioli, I had a meatball sub, and we split an order of "Bruno dough". The mushroom ravioli was, according to my wife, excellent; she really raved about it. My meatball sub was quite good as well. The Bruno dough (fried pizza bread with garlic) was OK, and we're glad we tried it, but we probably won't be in a hurry to order it again. I had considerable difficulty ordering online: I got through the entire process but when I clicked "submit" nothing happened. I tried again, double-checking every item I filled in, with the same results. Finally I just gave up and ordered over the phone. The young lady who took my order was, at least, very friendly and efficient. The order was ready on time and was completely accurate. Prices are a bit on the high side, but nothing outrageous, especially considering the quality of the food and the reputation the place seems to have here in town. We will certainly come back here for take-out in the future. I'm curious about the pizza. read more

Great food and friendly service. Easy pickup process. Will go back to check out the cozy bar area

I'm in town for a family event and wanted to take my family to a restaurant I frequented as a Purdue student and even had my rehearsal dinner there for our wedding. Both Yelp and their website showed normal hours of operations, but when we arrived, we were told there was no inside dining on the weekends. We went on a Friday. This morning, there seems to be an update on their website, but the "our dining room is only open during the week" section is smaller font and grey. I would suggest making that in big bold red letters so people know they cannot visit your restaurant on the weekends, when most people visit campus. Also, update yelp because most people now are starting their search for places to eat there. Sorry, this pains me to write a bad review for a place that has such good food, but when you don't clearly advertise when you are and are not open, that's poor management and disappointing. read more

Bruno’s Pizza - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Bruno's is a West Lafayette institution, famous for scissor-cut pizza, Big O's sports memorabilia, and fried dough balls covered in garlic butter and Parmesan. Generations of Boilermaker faithful love this place, and I suspect generations more will too, but not me. I've had enough. The pizza ingredients are good, but I prefer mine fully baked, thank you. There's not a square inch of browned cheese in sight at Bruno's. Melted, yes, for the most part. Browned? Ah, no. The restaurant has a very loud sports-themed dining room, covered in sports memorabilia. At full capacity, this room is a claustrophobic cacophony of screaming kids, ESPN, and birthday parties. The Swiss room plays homage to the original Bruno location across State Street, which had a Swiss chalet feel. Chalk that location up to progress and new roads. There's a bar room in the back. The best thing on the menu - an antipasto meat and cheese plate - is no more. The final straw was when we were refused a take out cup for WATER. Classic. We got the Heisman on grandma's request for a cup of water for the road. Two pizzas, two sodas, all for $45, mediocre service for free. Sorry Boiler Nation, I won't return to Bruno's. Overrated and overpriced. read more

Got a pizza to go... although I didn't get a chance to eat in, I did go in and check out the inside bit, and I have to say - this is a really cute restaurant! It was packed on a Friday night, and I loved the dim lighting and casual feel of the place. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and polite, despite the rush hour. In terms of the pizza... I got the Bruno's veggie with jalapeños as extra topping (14 inch, came to approx $20). To be honest, I was quite disappointed. They definitely like their cheese, which I'm a big fan of, but it looked like the cheese had been poured over the toppings, so the toppings were quite soggy under all of that melted goo. The crust and base were not impressive and were a little harder than I'd like. I might go back to try a non-veg pizza, but if you're a vegetarian looking for a good veggie pizza, I can't recommend Bruno's. read more

Heart eyes all around!! My in-laws treated my husband and I to pizza and Bruno dough on our most recent excursion to Lafayette. I've heard about this place for so long and was not disappointed once I got tri it! From the crispy fried Bruno dough to their loaded pizzas, we left with full tummies and full hearts. Be sure to check out all their extensive Purdue memorabilia- it pays homage to all the best Boliermakers. read more

This was a favorite restaurant of my husband during his time at Purdue several years ago. After a few visits on our own, and now with kiddos, it is one of my favorites as well! At first glance one could think their menu is what you'd expect to see at a standard pizza joint - but upon closer glance you'll find some really unique menu items: Apple butter & PB dipping sauce for the Bruno Dough on the kids menu, chicken livers on the spaghetti a la caruso, and even a cheese and peanut butter pizza! My favorite bits about Bruno's: -Memorabilia everywhere - all signed with the owner, Orlando's name! It is clear that he is well-loved. And, my toddler LOVES to explore the restaurant to check it all out. -The bruno dough - basically donuts made of pizza dough (8 per order). We get it with the meat sauce, which is also the same meat sauce used in the pasta dishes. It is outstanding. -They're kid friendly - meaning they've got a kids menu with decent portions of real food, they serve milk, they provide crayons and paper, and they have slings and booster seats available. -The house salad reminds me of the mixed vegetable salads from my time studying in Germany. It comes with radishes, egg, chopped beets, shredded carrots, and more. Yum. :) My only beef with Bruno's is that the tap water tastes a little bit off. I don't know any other way to put it, but if you're between a water and a beer, get a beer. ;) read more

Bruno's is absolutely delicious! And I love their family atmosphere and how friendly the entire staff is. It's very much a family business and they care about their customers. I've gone here pre-COVID-19, but this review is in regards to their current take-out. The quality and service did not falter by any means. The pizza was ready and hot to take home and everything was nicely packed. There were many people on staff and everything seemed working like a machine, organized and quick. So many moving hands knowing what to do, working diligently and fast. They were very happy to see us and grateful for our loyalty. Their pizza was fresh, super filling, and extra cheese? Yeah, it really means extra cheese and we were very thankful for it! read more

Drew Brees No Cheese! More meat than a cattle ranch. Our server was super friendly. The dough balls are a must too.

I've been coming to Bruno's for the majority of my life as a Purdue fan and now as a student. It is the best pizza in West Lafayette, and I don't think it's a close competition. Bruno's is a true family business, and the standards have never once changed. While I have never tried any of their pasta dishes, I have no reason to believe they aren't fantastic. The pizzas are always great. Even with COVID-19 limiting the business to carry-out only, I have never had a bad pizza from Bruno's. The inside of the restaurant is a must-see for Purdue fans. Big O's collection of Purdue memorabilia is truly special. I look forward to the day when I can dine-in again! read more

It's locally owned, and that's enough for me. I believe in supporting folks who aren't going to send a portion of my money to some corporate office. It also means that food is prepared by people who really care about it on a more personal level. The specials are actually "special" and not something that a marketing committee voted for. It's food that has it's own local flavor & style, which might not work anywhere else. It's Italian, it's Swiss...but it's also American--and uniquely so. And it's damn tasty. So, skip the chain restaurant and eat some real food. read more

My friends and I were in town for a conference and were told that Bruno's had the best pizza in town. So, a group of us headed over there in multiple cars, hoping to get seated together. Parking was a little crazy - there are lots of things located in this same area. We went in and put in our name and estimated group size. They were really busy, so it took awhile to get seated. Everyone eventually made it in and the waitress came over to start taking orders. She informed us that large groups eating at Bruno's could not receive separate checks. Say what? Yes, we had a large group, but we're poor grad students - no one alone could afford to foot the bill for all of us! After a little bit of coaxing, she said that she would make an exception for us and we said we would go easy on her and tip her well to show our appreciation. Apparently, Bruno Dough is their most famous appetizer, so my friend got an order and shared them. Tasty, indeed. For the main meal, most people in our group ordered and shared various pizzas. I, on the other hand, had to order the Texas BBQ sandwich - pizza on a bun! It was SOOO GOOOOOOODDDD!!! I would go back again just for that sandwich, lol. read more

I came here with my husband (a Purdue alumnus) and two friends (who work at Purdue) while visiting for the weekend. We had a reservation and arrived separately. Due to a snafu at the host stand, we were seated separately and figured it out through some hilarious text messages. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to make a note that you seated the half the party and where you seated them, but alas. We started with an order of the fried dough balls, which were okay. I was hopeful that they would have more garlic kick to them. It was a disappointing that they didn't, but they were still good when paired with the accompanying cheese or marinara sauces. I ordered the manicotti and was pleased. The serving was the perfect size. The pasta was filled with creamy ricotta and baked with cheese and marinara sauce. Overall, much better than I expected and I was happy with my choice. My only real complaint involves a small cup of ranch dressing that fell from our server's tray and splattered on several people in our seating area. My jacket was covered, as was my leather purse. The server was apologetic and quickly brought napkins. She told me that if I wanted to have my coat dry cleaned, I could take it to the place across the parking lot and bring the receipt back. I explained I was visiting from out of town for the weekend... and that was the end of the discussion. There was no offer to reimburse me for dry cleaning when I got back home or even a free dessert. I spent the rest of the weekend smelling like ranch dressing. Overall, good food and definitely a fun, lively atmosphere. Maybe bring a poncho? read more

Another wonderful visit to Bruno's. This is the real deal when it comes to great pizza. We visited here tonight and had our regular order. We had a large pizza with mushroom and pepperoni, Bruno dough, side salads, coffee. Just amazing tasting meal. This is a neighborhood gem. Busy place with quality service. Friendly place that has many more menu choices. Brimming with Purdue memorabilia. Television tuned to sports games. Always a festive atmosphere. Bruno's always does it right. Can never wait to return again. Thanks management and staff. read more

The cliche family spot for the Purdue student for all the right reasons. Tasty variety of pizzas, nice assorted salads and pastas, and perhaps best of all for the family needs a welcoming and accommodating staff able and eager to handle large groups. For you bored types, the classic peanut butter pizza is a must try. I love about three pieces of it then never think of it again til next time here. Bruno's is the classic dinner joint for making memories and has dished out top service since my first pizza here back in their old building. Five stars for sure! read more

This is a Purdue tradition. After I graduated from there, I picked this place for my celebratory dinner. I've never had a bad meal & the food is out of this world. If you aren't a Purdue fan, I wouldn't recommend this place--it is wall to wall pictures, memorabilia, and specials named after famous alums. You can't go to Bruno's without eating their Bruno Dough (their website is brunodough.com). I could eat my weight in these little guys dipped in marinara & cheese. Their pizza is the best and you can watch them making it from a window outside. Their pastas are great and I normally get their Chicken Cordon Bleu. My parents always got the Spaghetti a la Caruso growing up, but if you don't like chicken livers this is not the dish for you. Everything about this place is amazing & the drinks are strong to boot! It can be a bit pricey and they are open for dinner only, but it is totally worth it every time! read more

After our service tonight, I don't care if I ever visit thus restaurant again. The pizza we ordered was mixed up for another pizza at our table & when the waiter took our other pizza back because it was missing ONIONS, the kitchen staff (pizza maker) simply threw a hand full of RAW ONIONS on the pizza & then sent it back to our table. What's wrong with this is so many things... 1) it took about 10 minutes & by the time the waiter returned, the pizza wasn't even close to being warm...let alone, hot. 2) as stated before, they simply threw a bunch of RAW ONIONS on it & sent it back out to us. 3) when I tried to explain to the waiter/kitchen pizza maker person, he was totally rude about it & 4) the dough wasn't cooked through. I have to say, that I realize in a college town, my lonely review is probably the least of their concern, but...they need to STOP & think that they need to try a little harder and mak e the dining experience for people who drove 45 minutes to get there a little better. read more

Hubby and I made the trip up to West Lafayette for a fun Saturday, checking Yelp, helped us pick Bruno's. We were immediately intrigued by a restaurant that had both pizza and weinerschnitzel! We were seated by friendly hosts, and taken care of my an attentive server. So A+ for service! We started with the dough balls and were not disappointed! Delicious with both cheese sauce and meat sauce. Next we got a half meat pizza and a build your own! When I ordered extra cheese, I was not disappointed! The crust is very tasty and tastes homemade. All of the food and drinks were delivered and we were taken care of amidst the rush of post-football game customers! Overall we were pleased and plan to return!! read more

Absolutely fantastic. Cannot come back to Lafayette without going to Bruno's. I was great to see Orlando, Bruno and they're fantastic staff.

I am going to put aside my bias as a Purdue student.. and say that Bruno's is the best restaurant in town! Bruno's is a staple of West Lafayette and all Boilermakers must go there. When you go make sure to start off with the famous Bruno Dough. This is the highlight of the meal and probably one of the best appetizers I have had anywhere. The pizza is also very good. Atmosphere is really cool especially if you are a Purdue fan. There is all sorts is signed memorabilia on the walls and it's the perfect place for a Boilermaker. Food is great, service is great, and atmosphere is great. It is a great spot for anyone visiting West Lafayette! read more

Bruno's is one of those quintessential family restaurants that you only realize is average when you get older. It has probably stayed in business because it is comfortable, but slowly moving out of fashion, like mom's jeans. I was there a few days ago with a group of people and found the pizza to be mediocre at best. I am not really sure why people think this place is the bee's knees. I am a Purdue alumnus, but even I can admit that "excellent" and "pizza" are two words that don't really go together in West Lafayette. I may have to return and try their other menu items, but it's unlikely. read more

In a nutshell, Bruno's is a pretty good pizza place. -I think Bruno Dough (deep fried pizza dough buttered then sprinkled with cheese) is a bit overrated, but good. -Their pizzas are good, but I've had better (Puccini's anyone?) I must say that do enjoy their deluxe. Also they have some very unique desert pizzas that are worth a try. -The big salads are very good and go well along with pizza. -I've had a few of their other dishes from the menu. They were alright. -Service has always been good at Bruno's, prices are reasonable, and they are very accommodating to large groups. -The restaurant is pretty cool inside. There are a lot of TV's around to watch a game on, and tons of really cool sports gear decorates the walls. -There is a nice bar room and a good selection of local beers. Bottom line: Check it out with a group or a club social, and you should try the Bruno dough if you never have. read more

GO NEXT DOOR TO PUCCINO'S YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!! You won't get the history that Bruno's has but will get a much better Pizza Worst experience I've had here and will not be coming back. Got the crustless pizza and was cheese only, no more than 8oz of cheese and some sauce, $14.95 which is more than a large cheese pizza with crust and twice as much cheese and sauce WOW!!!! I don't mind paying but Unbelievable that they feel comfortable charging this much for just cheese and sauce. read more
