When we first moved here (37 years ago), the only place to get pizza in town was Tony's. Tony's pizza was always ok. I like the pizza I make better, but Tony does make awesome subs. A few years ago, Tony retired and sold the business though the new owners kept the name. I still prefer my pizza, and the subs are still good. The only issue is that lately, the restaurant can't get an order right. The order always seems to be mixed up or missing in some way.
About the time that Tony sold the business, a new pizza place, Pizzeria Bruno opened up in the Market 32 shopping plaza.. Bruno's pizzas are baked in a wood fire oven. Very authentic. (The original Tony was Greek, and the pizzas are baked in a commercial gas oven) We decided to give Bruno's a try.
I'm a plain eater so I ordered a Margherita. Very Neapolitan (as in Naples, Italy). Thin crust, charred in places, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. Perfect.
Since the Young One can't eat tomatoes, she ordered a white pizza. The Contadina: mozzarella, gorgonzola, pear and walnut. I had a taste of her pizza, too. Our only complaint was it needed more pear.
Himself ordered the Invernale pizza. San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, red and yellow peppers, red onions, sausage and mushroom.
Bruno's pizza is different from Tony's pizza. (Italian vs. Greek) Bruno's pizza is closer to the pizza I grew up with in East Boston, the famed Santarpio's pizza. Bruno's also got the order correct.
Besides pizza, we also treated ourselves to dessert. I had a slice of Limoncello cheesecake. Very yummy.
