Brugo’s Pizza

I ordered The Margarita pizza from the Gourmet pizza menu. The pizza did not have any tomatoes on it. It was also dry and overcooked with several large bubbles in the cheese. It reminded me of a cheap cheese pizza you could get from a gas station /​convenience store.

We like their new location. We also love the thin crust sausage pizza. It is great!
Unilocal says this review is too short so including this to get it posted because we really like this place. Best pizza by far in the Cave Creek area.

Good basic thin crust pizza. I ordered the «wilted» spinach salad which is actually not wilted at all. When I asked Steve our server about it he said he didn’t know which I thought was a lame lazy answer. Other than that it was a decent experience.

Kept it simple with a sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Sauce was awesome, sausage was great overall delicious. Parmesan was a great compliment. Reasonably priced for Cave Creek.

We were pleased to hear that Brugos had opened a new place since we have always enjoyed their pizza and missed it when they closed in El Pedregal. Their new place is beautiful we think and have enjoyed returning. Chrissy is such a hard worker and always so happy to see you and acknowledges that fact. our only concern is that the service is Still slow which can totally affect your experience. Everyone is very friendly but just not terribly efficient? We want them to succeed so hope they will remedy this.

Moving from NYC I was super excited to try this place, I really wanted to find and love pizza close to home …
although the beautiful presentation,
it’s lacking flavor… salt and garlic … We waited a long time for JUST pizza… When you go out for pizza … You expect it to be quick …
The service was bad, I felt like I was being talked down to and ignored.
Oh well.

The problem we had was with the owner. Which is the worst kind of a problem when the owner tries to justify charging 34.00 for 3 individual SMALL caesar salads. We asked for a caesar salad for 3 and was told they only have individual salads. When they charge $ 8.00 a piece then another $ 4.00 for 2 small pieces of anchovy on each salad. So a salad for 3 adds up to $ 32.00! can you say «cha-​ching!» And the owners answer to that is the parmesan is imported! But she has a Caesar salad on the menu for $ 12.00 that will feed 3… what. that ones not imported? In all fairness our waiter was new, but when the owner found out… she did’t want to correct the entire problem. She refunded $ 8.00 for one salad and said there was suppose to be more anchovies then we got for the $ 4.00 charge and that she would tell the kitchen so it won’t happen to someone else?!? But what about the fact that it happened to us? We paid for what we didn’t get. That type of ignorance is what prompted this Unilocal.The waiter was otherwise good and the food is just fine. The owner needs to understand business better or they won’t make it in a small town. Having built a successful business from the bottom up, you can literally take that to the bank.

I’ve tried this place twice. Mainly because my wife wants gluten free. Each time they completely messed up our carry out order. Even when I asked several times the second time if they had it right. Nope. Messed it up again. The pizza is fair at best. There are better choices in Cave Creek. I’m done trying this place. Order at your own risk or triple check any order. I live in the area and try to support all the local businesses. Not this one.

Super Bowl Sunday didn’t leave many restaurant choices. We were actually trying to go to Indigo Crow, but they were closed. We saw a pizza place open so my husband and I thought we would check it out. We weren’t looking for a big night, just a couple glasses of house wine and share an appetizer. Boy did we make a BIG mistake! We really didn’t look at ALL the prices because we thought, «Hey, it’s just pizza!» We saw a pizza, called Chrissy’s Favorite, that looked pretty good but asked if we could have it on the crust of a different pizza, The Cefalu. They both were the same price, a Medium 12″ $ 22.50 (for 2), which is crazy in the first place, right? Nooooooo! When we got the bill, the pizza, that was the size of a dinner plate, was $ 29.00! They had up charged us $ 6.50 to switch the crust! The waiter never said a thing about the additional charge! Geez! In addition, our HOUSE white wines were $ 15.00 a glass! Now I drink wine all the time and house wines are usually around $ 9.50. They boasted how authentic their pizza was and that they import, «special» cheese. The only authentic thing about the pizza was that it was round and had toppings. Probably the worst pizza I ever had. I am Sicilian and grew up in New York. Maybe this pizza is authentic in, Yuppieville? If you want overpriced bland pizza, this is the place for you! If you want a REAL slice of, «authentic» Sicilian pizza? Go to Basil and Garlic Bistro in Scottsdale!

Great family restaurant! Great ambience and a hidden gem in the desert! So many items on the menu that it calls one to return to discover more of this families traditions. Loved it!!!

What an unexpected treat.
We sat at the bar and looked at the extensive menu. Great pizza selections.
They also have a great selection of beer on tap. I had the rye.
Stop in!

Love the pizza. Make sure to order the Braveheart. It’s awesome, unique, and amazing. My wife said its a guy pizza. Highly recommended. Beautiful spot. You can tell the put everything into making it a success.

We r super excited that one of our local favorite restaurants has re-​opened! Much better location than El Pedregal! Amazing food, great service and awesome atmosphere! Congrats!

We like to support local business. I don’t think we will be going back. The calamari was just rings and the breading was thick and hard. The meatball pizza was lacking flavor. My husband liked the meatballs. The chicken italian sausage lasagna was the highlight. I could tell right away their sauce is old school. I personally don’t care for the heavy foods but my husband really enjoyed it. My Italian Margarita was off balance. The owner is very nice. The décor is beautiful and we enjoyed the old school music.

Carl my husband and I Mary, We live close by Cave Creek a 20-​minute drive. We just love the way Chrissy the owner takes the time to say hello during her busy day making sure everyone Is enjoying their meal’s and drinks. We Love Love the Chrissy Lasagna dishes. The Pizza looks so good as we see people enjoying the slices. The ambience of the restaurant Is very comfy and love the Frank Sinatra music. Happy hour has great dishes and drinks and love the wine list. We give it a 5 star. A gem In Cave Creek Az.
