There are few restaurants that actually get me excited about their opening. Brugo’s Pizza Company and Bistro is one of them. Located on the north side of Carson, this place fills the void of any upscale eating establishments that were present here. Sure we have Glen Eagles, but the excitement has passed for this place, that is unless you’re over 55. Not that there’s any thing wrong with this, but the younger (under 55), vibrant, up and coming, upscale people in this town need something new. Being located next door to Starbucks should generate lots of foot traffic, and thus business for Brugo’s. The place has been open since March 1, 2008, so their just getting started.
If you don’t want to eat your pizza at the restruant, they have a Take and Bake option, with a $1.50 discount.
I have eaten there 3-4 times and can tell you, the food is outstanding. Having transplanted myself from the Bay Area food scene, I have, tasted really great food, pizza included and I can be really critical at times. The combinations of speciality pizzas sound fantastic. Of course you can create your own from the many toppings. What I find really nice here, is you can choose your type of crust AND 3-4 different sauces. My two favorites so far are the pesto and house special roasted garlic white sauce. I can definitly say, this is THE BEST pizza I have had in my life. Deep dish Chicago style not included. This style is not offerd here, as Brugo’s seems to be trying to stay true to the Itailian traditional style. Recently I had the pleasure of having lunch here and trying one of their Hot Ciabatta sandwiches. Oh my GAWD, what a tasty treat that was! But pizza and food are only part of what they have to offer, there is an extensive wine list and many imported beers. Most definitely this is an adult pizza and hang out place.
The decor is definitly modern bistro, with outdoor seating in back. I’ve posted pictures here. Check this place out for something new! Brugo’s is open Mon-Sat 10am till 9pm and Sun 10am- 8:30pm.
