Having driven past Bruno's Pizzeria dozens of times, I finally had an opportunity to stop for lunch and try them out. On entering the restaurant, the young man behind the counter looked genuinely surprised to have a customer walk in at 2pm on a Monday in December. When I asked if I could dine-in for lunch, he looked surprised again and invited me to select a table. I then advanced to the dining room and seeing only one other table occupied by patrons who were wrapping up, I selected a nice high table by the wall. A few minutes later, the same gentleman handed me a menu and asked what I wanted to drink. By the time he returned with my Pepsi, I had zeroed in on the fresh baked subs, so I asked which one he preferred. When he said the cheesesteak was his favourite, so I went with that one. Before tax and tip, my bill totaled $12.78, which felt pretty average. While I liked the classic Italian décor in the restaurant, the many televisions hanging from the various walls seemed out of place. Below the TVs, the restaurant gave a classical Italy vibe with tasteful pictures and wall hangings, but then you had a bunch of televisions showing Doctor Oz and other random talk shows. These all combined to give an odd sort of sports-bar-meets-nice-Italian-restaurant feel. After a pretty average wait (which actually felt kind of long since I was the only person in the place), my sub arrived. While the sandwich itself had a good flavour, it was not nearly as juicy as one might have expected for a cheesesteak. Likewise as David M noted below in his review, the bun was really dry. Add in the salty potato chips, and it made for a very thirsty meal. I was glad when the employee offered me a refill, and was maybe a little disappointment that he did not offer me another when he brought my bill. Overall I found Bruno's Pizzeria pretty average all across the board: taste, service, price, ambiance, etc. I had no issues during my visit, but likewise nothing really impressed me. As such, I rate Bruno's Pizzeria being Good, and would return. read more

Bruno's Pizzeria - The fresh baked cheesesteak sub with potato chips. - Pizza Near Me - Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio

Really great pizza! This is a great location in downtown Marblehead with parking on the east side of the building. In the summer they have outdoor seating and inside is fairly basic and flexible pizza place decor. It would be a good place for families or groups. Pizza has three crucial parts: crust, sauce, and toppings. The crust was hand tossed and nicely chewy. The sauce was a good flavor - fresh and tomato forward. The cheese was chewy and appropriately stringy. Pepperoni was flavorful and abundant. C.J. was friendly and attentive- checking back on drinks and to see if I was happy. I was very happy. A good pizza is a great pleasure and Bruno's came through on all matters. Highly recommended. read more

Great delivery service! Good customer service on a phone order, quoted less than an hour and our pizzas were delivered in 20min. Piping hot and delicious after a long day at the bay. read more

Save your money, grocery store pizza is better. Crust was very thin and overcooked to cracker consistency. Sauce was virtually nonexistent. Cheese was thin and d three toppings (pepperoni, onions and green olives) were meager. Onions were a few chopped tops of scallions, not 'onions ". Will not give them a second chance to disappoint. read more

Our family of 16 was staying at Lakeside on Marblehead and each year we order pizza for one of our meals. Last year was a disaster so this year I decided to look outside of Lakeside for pizza's. I called the manager on July 3rd and asked what I had to do in order to get pizza's delivered on time. She told me to order the pizza's online and specify the time. Since this is probably a very busy time for Bruno's, I was a bit concerned but she reassured me the order would be correct and delivered on time. I went to the website, which was extremely easy to use, ordered multiple pizza's and they were delivery on time. Not only was the order absolute perfect but the pizza's were wonderful. 'Everyone' loved their pizza. In my opinion, the pizza's were very reasonably priced. We go to Lakeside every year during the July 4th holiday and will continue to order our pizza's from Bruno's. Outstanding experience. read more

ordered pizza on a Sunday around 5:30, called backed about 6 Bruno's claimed they never received order, reordered again, called at 6:30, they said pizza was on way, 5 minutes away. Called at 7:00, and Bruno's said they had just put order in to cook. Finally received order at 7:45, It was warm but not very good. I live 1 and 1/2 hours away. Now I am getting charged twice on my credit card. I called manager, she said she needed receipt. Never received Receipt from delivery girl, who was tipped 15 %. The manager was rude, She would not help us and hung up, Why Am I being charged twice on one order that I had to wait over to 2hours. Definitely would not order again from this establishment. Manager wanted me to drive 1 /1/2 hours to receive my money back for Pizza, Don't think so. She wouldn't even give us name of Owner. What kind of place is this!!!! read more

food quality is horrible. dominoes and mcdonald's serves better food than this place and that speaks volumes. I ordered boneless wings, they didn't even look like chicken wings. my daughter ordered the alfredo, it literally looked and tasted like play-doh. server removed the playdoh Alfredo, added in her own tip gratuity. I told her I pay my tips in cash and I choose my own gratuity based off service. she told me to speak to the manager. manager said there's nothing they can do. so I had a tip added onto my bill without my permission, that the server didn't even deserve after my experience. she hands me another receipt to sign with tip percentages for ANOTHER tip. please pay attention to your receipts and make sure you are not tipping twice more. I will always tip my server but to add your own gratuity is crazy. I guess this place has gone down hill over the years, they have to make their money somehow someway so they choose to steal from their customers. do better. super unprofessional and unapologetic. read more

Was sort of disappointed. Stopped here after a relaxing afternoon and the winery down the street. Sat outdoors which was nice. First red flag, (but not surprised) was the sign inside the door stating to be patient since they are short staffed. I get it. We were quickly seated by a waitress that appeared stressed and overwhelmed. Our order was placed also quick. Drinks came out good. Our pizza was cauliflower crust with 4 toppings. 1/2 mushroom. It came out with ALL mushrooms and the toppings were thinly placed. We also ordered salads that we had to ask for when our pizza came out. Salad was nothing special. They did offer to remake the pizza, but a couple large groups came it after us and we didn't want to wait. The food quality was just ok. Been to Marblehead usually 3-4 times a year and first time here. Not impressed so Not sure if I would come back. read more

Well it's off season and a Tuesday afternoon at about 3pm, we stopped for a late lunch, there was only one other table in use when we entered. The service was swift and good and the food was excellent! Would definitely stop again! read more

Nice fresh pizzas & salads in a casual atmosphere. Good friendly service & assortment of appetizers also. Can eat inside or out.

We recently ordered a medium half pep/ half sausage. They couldn't even get a one topping half and and half correct. No pepperoni on the pizza. We used to love this place and would make a special trip up to go to Marblehead Lighthouse and Bruno's. The pizza reminded me of the homemade pizza my family would make that everyone loved but even better. But the last several times the pizza and the crust was different. More like a "off the truck" crust instead of house made. The pizza has no body to it. The pieces fall apart and cheese slides off. And over priced for what it is. Like $14 for a one topping medium! Not sure if we'll go back. read more

Took a trip up to the lighthouse and wanted something very simple and quick to eat. Decided to check out Bruno's pizzeria and it was a good time. I went with the chicken quesadilla and cheesy breadsticks and my wife had a CBR sub! read more

Bruno's Pizzeria - Outdoor seating - Pizza Near Me - Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio

Very enjoyable, will return if I get the chance. After a rough morning of car trouble, we needed food. We got a really good meal at Bruno's. It's not fancy, it's basic Italian and wings, but they do it well. Three of us had wings, and my wife (celiac) had the cauliflower pizza. All of it was really good. My Hot Garlic wings were great, man I loved those things. The mozzarella stick appetizer was good, the Greek salad was pretty good, lots of feta and olives. The wing prices were a bit high, but they were really good. Overall, it's a bit pricey for what you get, but we really enjoyed what we got and will return if we have the opportunity. read more

I order a large Hawaiian pizza at 5:55 PM on 07-05-23 to be delivered. The guy taking my order said the delivery would be 25 to 30 minutes. 7 PM no pizza, called and was put on hold for 10 minutes no answer so I called again, another 10 minute wait. Finally a different guy answered and I said where my pizza. He said the guy that took my order told me the delivery was 45 minutes to an hour. I told him no the guy said 25 to 30 minutes. He apologized and said he would have a talk with him. Ask if I wanted a free 2 liter pop and I said yes. 7:35 PM still no pizza. So I called again only to wait for another 10 minutes. Finally got someone on the phone and told him still haven't go my pizza. He said the pizza was just leaving the building. I said to cancel my order as waiting over and hour and 35 minutes was long enough. He said ok, did not apologize and acted like it was no big deal. I will never order from them again. We stopped ordering from them 2 years ago because they did the same thing and would put the phone on hold so the didn't have to answer them. We started ordering from the a few months ago because they seemed like they clean up their act. Guess not. Will have to find a new place to order pizza as we are done with Bruno's at Lakeside Marblehead, OH. read more

Ordered at 730 in evening, two hours later we went there to find out why it hadn't been delivered and were told they were busy and were just getting to our order. They obdiviosly font want $300 orders. I'll never patronize them again and would recommend not patronize them either. ​ read more

Horrible service. Waiter talked about our table behind our back before even grabbing us water. Do not go here.

First time ordering from here today. Nice inside and looked clean with plenty of parking. The wait time was about 15-20 min and staff was friendly. Ordered a Pepperoni Pizza, it was okay and it did have lots of cheese. Ordered a Margherita Pizza but it had very little to no cheese and did not have much of a taste. Not all employees had on a mask or if they did it was below their nose, the man at the counter who help me did not have one on at all. read more

It was very good a couple years ago but now it has really gone down hill. Don't know what happened. Last two times the food was either reheated dry bread /buns for sandwiches and pizza burnt. There must be a constant turn over of employees or something along these lines of less quality of food supplies. I am now a former customer now. read more

An order for Pizzas was placed on 7/6/23 at 5:30 pm and was told it would be delivered by 6:30 and 7. The credit card was IMMEDIATELY charged for the full amount plus delivery charge and tip. An order was delivered at 7:30 and it was not our order! We notified Bruno's as soon as we discovered it was the wrong order. We were told our order was waiting for the delivery man at the restaurant and would be delivered immediately. It is now 8:45 and we still do not have our order. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM BRUNOS OR RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. PATHETIC, HORRIBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS! read more

I went to Marblehead Ohio for shopping and lunch with my mom, we were walking past Bruno's and asked the guy on the outside patio if the pizza was good . And of course he said yes. After reading yelp reviews , we decided to try it. The old world pepperoni pizza is amazing and the crust is hand tossed. The sauce is so yummy too. We also got a single order of cheesy bread which was also very good. I'm so happy with our choice and will definitely be back with friends. Also , the guy on the outside patio was also the general manager and he was our waiter too. I think that says a lot about this place and despite the comments about their service, I thought it was phenomenal. read more

Overpriced and our entire order (wings and pizza) was severely undercooked. $60 for two pizzas and two orders of wings in Ohio is way too high. read more

We were weary to stop here because of the reviews and it being dead at 5 on a Saturday, but I'm so glad we stopped! The waitress, Marie, was so fun and super attentive and sweet. The pizza was AMAZING! So glad we stopped here on our weekend trip :) read more

In the past few years I would have rated this a 4 star place. However, since last fall there has been a steady and noticeable decline in service and attention to accuracy. This was our go to place for carry out but no longer. They messed up our last three orders by not including items we paid for, putting items such as meatballs in sauce after we requested meatballs on the side or not including salad with meals. We spoke with manager and received a credit but when we cashed in credit that order was incorrect also. Our pick up times have also been inaccurate and usually quoted 25-45 minutes. However, all wait times have been 1-1 1/4 hours. The staff left me sitting there with no sense of urgency to make sure your order is handled correctly. Need to find better help and more of an efficient process or more customers will find other options for carry out in the area. Be prepared to wait and double check everything before you leave the counter. read more

Great staff very good pizza bottle beer at 4.00 for Bud light that was not very cold just a little shocked.Will for sure order pizza again.

I love Bruno's! It's my go to place for pizza. I love to sit out on the patio on a warm summer day and have a glass of wine with some appetizers. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. My only suggestion is that the red wine should be at room temperature and not chilled. But I'm still giving five stars because I love Bruno's so much. read more

Got here at 130pm stood at the door for 10 min before anyone acknowledged us. There are 4 tables that have never been cleaned off from other people. Getting a refill on soda was like asking for unicorn rides. 230 still waiting for food Pretzel sticks were ok. Mozzarella sticks were kind of cold. Not the gooy cheese you expect. And no flavor. Pizza was ok when it came. I would just order it and pick it up. Only 3 tables of people here all having the same problem...no service Ladies there no locks in the bathrooms; andbits a full door so there is no way of knowing if its occupied read more

Paid $30 for a medium pizza with sausage and a flat bread. Both were extremely dry, no taste. Awful...never again. Don't waste your money.

Nom , Nom, Nom !! We stopped in around 2 o'clock on a weekday and were seated right away . We ordered pretzels and beer cheese and they were so good that the others we were with ordered some to go . For our main course we ordered a supreme pizza and Italian sub . We cleared our plates ! Being a mom of 3 little ones we of course had to make a visit to the bathrooms , they were super clean :) read more

Bruno's has been our go-to pizza place for years (both eat in & take out). Never had a bad experience. And when you're done eating, walk across the parking lot to Brown's Dairy Dock for ice cream - a perfect combo! read more

Decent food - great service - decent price. Not a place I would come back to specificity - but I'd eat here again.

Came in for lunch at around 2 sat down quickly and had water in front of us at a clean table in a minute or two. Good prices on everything. Very accommodating for special requests on the pizza as well as with dietary restrictions. The appetizer we got came out quickly and was tasty and fresh. Our pizza was a regular wait and was hot and fresh. Very delicious and well cooked. read more

They may be exploiting their status as the sole pizza game in town (Lakeside Marblehead) a bit much. Two tries - one a takeout and one a dine in. The place is very busy, but the service suffers from sheer overstretching even though the servers try heard. The person who took my takeout order didn't seem to think making a meatless sub (cold for crying out loud) was possible. Our waitress at the dine in was much more understanding and suggested nice options. The pizza itself - oversauced, oversalted, and overcheesed, the crust suffers. Pity. I think the crust has potential with a lighter hand. Many topping choices, so that's a plus. Good salad choices. And drinks as well - I discovered Great Lakes Co's Dortmunder Gold here, which is a beer in my sweet spot of taste. Happy it's there. Kids got pizza. But not enough value (very average pizza) for price (gourmet rack prices). read more

Just okay. Our first impression wasn't great, as we and a bunch of other people hung out at an unmanned greeter podium in a steamy spot by the kitchen for a long while without being addressed. A fun, friendly chick popped over to the takeout area and said 25 minutes for our pizza-no problem. When we returned for our grub it was again disappointing to hang out unaddressed, finally standing up to lean on the counter overlooking the kitchen, annoyed. Our girl saw us and asked a cook about our pizza and that unmistakable "uh-oh!" look came over his face-our order had obviously been forgotten about. "It'll be a few more minutes" she tells us, giving us 2 takeout sodas gratis, which was nice. Another 25 minutes and we finally got our food. It was cut in strange, tiny chunks (our pie was round) that fell apart when you tried to remove a slice. Also, the uncooked pizzas are lined up before going into the oven with the receipts sitting on them, right on top of your food. Now I know full well that assorted things go on behind the scenes in a restaurant environment, but it took me aback seeing foreign objects put on the food in plain sight of the open counter overlooking the kitchen! Don't a large number of cash register receipt papers cause cancer due to high levels of Bisphenol A? This is odd and less than sanitary. An upbeat place though with a nice-looking patio-they just need to up their game. Perhaps hire more help? The staff seemed overwhelmed. read more

Avoid this place if you can, we stopped on a whim. The service was OK, but doesn't seem to be geared toward families at all. No kid's menu, the waitress had to hunt for crayons, they must go for the bar crowd. The pizza was pretty awful, a take and bake from Aldi's would leave you happier and be 1/3 the cost. Our pizza was dry and overcooked, very thin crust for not actually being a thin crust pizza. read more

First time for my family in Marblehead and we got in late and ordered delivery on the way in. I found the pizza was delicious. Good sauce and good toppings and we like the thin crust with the fat outer edge. There was a miscommunication using the internet order option and one of the pizzas was delivered wrong, but the issue was immediately resolved despite being after closing hours and i'm pretty sure it was delivered by someone on their way home from work. I would definitely recommend their pizza and service. read more

I'm gonna leave my rating at a 3/5 because the food was still pretty good, but the service was terrible. The older woman who was are server dropped off the pizzas at our table and left never to be seen again. I wanted a refill on my drink and I waited and waited and waited and she never came back. Although the place was 50% full when we got there, when I was waiting we were 1 of 2 tables left. I literally had to get up and go get my own drink refill. Unfreakingbelievable! I must have waited 15 to 20 minute, no joke. Then when she did come back she gave us some boxes and the check. Then proceeded to never come back for the damn check, to the point where we assumed you were suppose to take it up to the front. However, when we got to the front she was like "oh I'll take that." How about you take it when we were at the table! I understand things happen, servers get busy, and people forget sometimes, but I'm sorry that is your job. read more

Lots of vegetarian options here. The parmesan pops appetizer was my favorite: it's basically fried dough balls covered in cheese. The regular cheese pizza had a rich red sauce and generous helpings of cheese. The salads were large, but the Italian dressing was just OK. We were a very large party of about 10, and the staff was very friendly but just a bit slow considering the place wasn't that crowded. Still, they made us feel very welcome, and we left very satisfied. read more

We were very disappointed with this Pizza place. Being fisherman we expect to be able to come off the lake late and get some good food. We placed 3 separate orders which came to over $135 dollars and the food was not done, items were not in order when we got back to camp, and when I called to speak my concerns the employee was rude. I do not recommend this place and will never order from here again!!! read more

Over the 4th of July weekend ordered pizza twice from Bruno's. First time it took over two hours for them to complete the pickup order and it was still 45 min late. Second time we placed a delivery order the pizza was an hour late. Got the order unpacked and they forgot our salad dressing. Called Brunos asking them to heave a delivery drive bring us the dressing we ordered or refund us and they just laughed. Everyone we spoke with at Brunos was rude and unhelpful. The worst part and most important the pizza, pasta and salad is mediocre at best. read more

Great pizzeria located in the heart of Marblehead. Our family enjoys eating here, as the food is always hot and fresh. The location isn't the largest around, so it can be busy during peak dining times. The restaurant is very clean and provides some very nice outdoor dining if your into that (I'm not). Pricing is moderate and what you would expect for a pizza joint. Overall, a very nice place to dine with a group or family. When your done, there are plenty of desert places to choose from - just know, you won't leave hungry. read more
