Pizza
James W.

I'm a New York culinary professional that's been in the culinary business for over 20 years. I knew when I opened the box it was hometown goodness. Crispy thin crust goodness just the way it's supposed to be.

A disappointing, dry, tasteless pizza from Bruno's North.

. I lived in Chicago for 10 years, I've had GOOD pizza. When I saw this particular Bruno's had new owners I was hopeful that there might be a GOOD pizza joint on the North Side of South Bend. I was wrong. Just on a whim I pulled in here and ordered a plain cheese pizza. My theory is if a place can make a GOOD cheese pizza then all of their other pizzas should be GOOD! I got a 12" pie for $13.91- a little pricey for a plain cheese pizza, but IF it's REALLY good then it might be worth it. I was in here at 9:15 on a Tuesday night and no one else was in the restaurant. While I was waiting for my pie to bake they received one phone order in about 20 minutes- they were not busy. I told the new owners how I had been in here about 9 months ago and the pizza was not very good and he promised me this was going to be a GOOD pizza! The 2 people working here continued to talk-up their pizza as I waited. I got home and snapped a photo first thing. I took a bite and immediately knew this was going to be disappointing. The pizza had almost NO sauce on it! (I took a photo!) The sauce is the flavor! Everything else is just greasy cheese and dry crust! I picked around the pie, thinking maybe the sauce was just uneven and I happened to get a "dry" slice. There was almost no sauce on most of the pizza. I could see a little red along the edge of the crust, but most of the pizza was dry, flavorless, worthless. I threw over half the pizza (and my money!) away. (see photos)

Delicious pizza!  And this was the regular crust!

A very pleasant surprise! Homemade vinegarette salad dressing was wonderful! Combination pizza was delicious and beautiful! Lots and lots of cheese!

Let me tell you a tale about my pizza-loving husband. This man lives for pizza--the good, the bad,…read morethe ugly. Now, I'll partake in the former any day of the week with him, but it's the latter that had me rolling my eyes *hard* one late afternoon on our drive from Chicago to our home in Michigan when he wanted to make a {45 minute} "detour" on this place he found for pizza. I was just ready to start our weekend and tired from the week. But boy oh boy am I glad I went limp & relented because I ate my words, in the form of some of the best pizza I've ever had. In fact, it quickly became a part of our regular routine and I haven't looked back. For context, I was raised in New York and have lived in Chicago over 10 years, also I'm thick as hell, so when I tell you I know pizza, you'll have to trust me and try for yourself. Patellie's has a fantastic crust, chewy, crispy, flavorful. They use the perfect amount and kind of sauce & cheese, and they locally source their veggies & meats. In fact, I usually always opt for whatever veggie pie they have that day (their chef is a mad genius), and it never disappoints. We don't make it up to Michigan as much anymore since selling our home, but I think about the pizza...and the other love of my life (their burrata) often & feel wistful. Check it out!

Got the penne alla vodka and it was really tasty. The sauce had a creamy texture with a little…read morespice, which I liked a lot. Pasta wasn't mushy, which is always a plus. It came with a side salad that was pretty fresh too. Our waitress was kind and checked on us a couple of times without being pushy. The restaurant was clean and had a nice chill atmosphere. Solid meal overall.

Stopped by Holy Smokes Pizza while we were in South Bend and I'm so glad we did…read more We ordered a Chicago dog, onion rings, jojos, and a pepperoni/salami sub and everything was delicious. The food tasted homemade in the best way and the onion rings and jojos were also great. The owner was one of the nicest people we've met in a long time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place and the people who walk through the door. The restaurant has so much character and nostalgia to it. Between the vintage milkshake machine and the old-school neighborhood feel, it's the kind of local spot that's becoming harder to find. It's also only a few minutes from the airport, making it an easy stop if you're passing through South Bend. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

So glad that we stopped in! In a hunt for dinner while visiting South Bend for a tournament, we…read morecame across Holy Smokes and a review that called the food five stars. The food? Five stars. The service? Far and beyond. Jerry was the very best... making recommendations, sharing more on the history of the establishment (including a historic ice cream machine), and cooking a delicious meal. The place is cute and unassuming- it almost felt like sitting in someone's living room which further added to its charm. Jerry shared that they decorate for every holiday too which must be fun! We would certainly return to try the sandwiches and milkshakes the next time we are in South Bend! :)

August 13, 2026 So glad my wife and I chose this local place…read moreto eat dinner in South Bend. It was very good food prepared fresh. The server was personable and very helpful. We got there around 5:00 PM while things were just getting busy. It had a nice vibe to it. You could tell people enjoy coming here. I started off the order with an item off their monthly menu specials. The muffuletta pizza. Very nice with a great flavor. My wife loved every bite of her braised beef sliders and cole slaw. We also have this obsession with ordering Brussels sprouts when we go out and they're available. I will give the sprouts 3 out of 5 because they had way too much balsamic vinegar on them. This rating doesn't bring my overall rating down because it's likely they are very good any other time. As if all that weren't enough to eat, we ordered the 8" Cinnamon Streusel pizza with vanilla bean ice cream off their seasonal monthly menu. Oh boy was that good!! If given the opportunity to come back to South Bend, this will be my go to place. PS... I'm not a beer drinker, but it seems they have lots of craft beer on tap. It's considered a gastropub. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Some outside seating is covered and nice of it raining but still warm out. There is a patio area that's quite large. It looks like and has a feel of a biergarten.

I had not been back to The Lauber in a while when visiting South Bend, so I went twice this time!…read moreOn Friday, my friend and I stopped in for a happy hour drink as I remember they made a fantastic Expresso Martini, complete with three coffee beans floating on top! It was just as good as the last time I was here. On Saturday, I ordered takeout for us since I was staying in the downtown area. I ordered the Power Salad (full order to share), and it was a nice mixture of arugula, spinach, quinoa, dried blueberries, toasted almonds, goat cheese, grape tomatoes and red onion, with green goddess dressing on the side. It was a plentiful salad and very tasty. I would definitely order this salad again! For dinner, I had the Rigatoni Chicken Pasta, which was advertised as their house specialty. The rigatoni noodles were accompanied with seasoned chicken and a nicely spiced mushroom cream sauce, which was divine. I wish there was more chicken (at least in my dish) as it was minimal at best. My friend ordered the Tropic Burger, medium well, with beer battered fries. The burger was topped with pulled pork and bacon with a tasty jalapeno sauce she just loved. The burger was so big she even had half of it for the next day. Overall, another great experience at The Lauber. Looking forward to my next visit when I get to South Bend.
