Bruno's Pizza is a Yummy Beach Tradition for More Than 20 Years

Bruno’s Pizza in Seagrove Beach is a prime example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” For more than 20 years Bruno’s has been satisfying locals and visitors with their quality pizza and superb customer service. It’s a place where folks go to enjoy great food in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere.
When owner Jeff Goodman lost his job in the spring of 1990, he made the leap and moved to SoWal for a new career that would change his life. After moving to the area, Jeff met Joel Smith, owner of the Wheelhouse restaurant, who wanted to open Scenic 30a’s first pizzeria. Jeff had a little experience working in a pizza shop in college, so Smith decided to take a chance on him. When the lease renewal was up a year later, Jeff had the opportunity to buy Bruno’s pizza and jumped at the opportunity.
Jeff considers his place an old-school pizzeria because he makes his own sauce and dough fresh daily, and only uses the best meats and cheeses money can buy. The menu features build-your-own pizzas, specialty pizzas, calzones, oven-baked subs, salads, wings, bread sticks and cinnamon knots. One of the most popular menu items is the Mexican pizza, which is a thin-crust pizza baked with picante sauce, spicy taco beef and Colby Jack cheeses; then topped with Romaine lettuce, jalapeños and Roma tomatoes. Pizza prices range from $10.95-$24.95.
Locals are truly appreciated at Bruno’s and can request a “Locals Card” to receive 25% off their order. The pizza buffet is all you can eat pizza, salad and drink for $7.94 plus tax, and is served 7 days a week from 11am-2pm. Game Day specials include $11 large pizzas and $2 longnecks.
Jeff recently launched a new and improved website. The innovative online ordering system means Bruno’s is staying ahead of the curve and is the only area restaurant to offer this service.
