Pizzeria Bruno - ONLY Napoli style pizza in SD!

I just recently returned from Italy, it was my 5th time visiting there. I first went when I was 19, then I lived there for a year when I studied abroad in Florence, then I returned in 2004, 2007 and now 2010. Every time I go, I thoroughly enjoy the excellent food, especially the pizza. Needless to say, returning to the US, I was craving true Italian pizza.

If you have never eaten pizza in Italy, you do not know pizza. American pizza can be good, but italian pizza, especially from the south in the Napoli (Naples) area, is superior. Pizza in Naples is made in wood fire ovens at high temperatures, and the result is a chewy crispy crust, with fresh tomato sauce (literally just crushed tomatoes and salt, simple), olive oil and buffalo mozzarella, all drizzled with olive oil.

If I have got your stomach growling, fear not, you don't have to travel to Italy for this experience! Pizzeria Bruno in San Diego opened in December 2009, and it is certified Napoli style pizza! Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) arose locally in Naples to preserve and promote high standards of excellence in pizza-making. They have set the gold standard of excellence for serious pizza restaurateurs and “pizzaiolos” (pizza makers) everywhere. Pizzeria Bruno's pizzaiolo is VPN certified!

I just recently ate here and it was EXCELLENT! They only have pizza and some appetizers on the menu, and beer and wines. Simple and quality. The photo above is my Pizza Margherita (ask for it with buffalo mozzarella).

Pizzeria Bruno is located at 4203 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92103 (near the Hillcrest DMV and where Park Blvd and El Cajon Blvd meet)
Please go, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Invader has struck San Diego!

Invader has posted his recent work in Little Italy (this image is at the freeway entrance from Grape Street) and a few other locations in downtown San Diego. AWESOME!
"Invader is a French street artist who pastes up characters from and inspired by the Space Invaders game, made up of small coloured square tiles that form a mosaic. He does this in cities across the world, then documents this as an "Invasion", with maps of where to find each invader." -wikipedia
