Bruno's Italian Deli — Restaurant in Cedar City

Updating today: I tried a new twist on my favorite custom pizza toppings when my spouse wanted a calzone for lunch. In addition to sausage and black olives, I got green (Pimento-Stuffed) olives instead of extra cheese. WOW! that extra pop of flavor made a huge difference, so much so that I expect whenever I'm not sharing the pizza with my spouse, I'll order this flavor profile.

3 years ago: I have to sing the praises of their soup on the lunch specials! Tomato Basil Bisque is what the two-option lunch card offers, and that soup is awesome (to the point that I often just order two bowls for my two options), but we've now had two other soups in a change-up: Broccoli Cheddar and Tomato Garlic. I'm just polishing off a bowl of the latter, with a side of salad topped with beautifully-seasoned grilled chicken, and I'm seriously considering another serving of the soup. Really delicious!

6+ years ago: This is a good Italian restaurant, that just happens to be under the same roof as a gas station. We had the excellent lasagna and a 'build your own' pasta dish with linguine, meat sauce, and a whole grilled sausage. I wasn't quick enough with the camera; my spouse had already devoured half the sausage! My lasagna avoided my pet peeve of mushy pasta with perfectly al dente noodles....

Sorry for the long post, but I'm beyond words... We have always loved Brunos, especially their sandwiches. We generally go there once a week or so on average. The combo is my favorite and my wife loves the salami one. Ordered four sandwiches, two combos and a salami and a chicken sandwich. Halfway home to Enoch, checked the sandwiches and, I couldn't believe what I saw. Salami had literally three pieces of rancid salami and the chicken was BURNT! We went back and were told that they have changed their portions and that's just the way the sandwiches are now. They offered a couple of extra salami pieces and some extra lettuce, but no offer to make it again or make it right. $48.00 plus a two dollar tip for this nonsense. The girl called the manager, no offer to make the sandwiches right or any other compensation or apology. She just kept repeating that this is the new portion size. $11.00!!!! I can't believe it. Another restaurant I have to cross off my list. I'm done with restaurants here. This one breaks my heart the most because we've come here for years. Then they tried to give me a gift Certificate instead of a refund! Based on how we were treated, they clearly don't care about retaining any customers. NEVER...

Bruno's is definitely a hidden gem in Cedar City. A friend told me about their pizza and whenever they pass through town, they always grab something to go. He recommended the BBQ chicken pizza and their Buffalo chicken sandwich. When we went and grabbed some food there, the pizza was excellent. The BBQ chicken is definitely a standout! Another favorite of ours was the Chicken Alfredo pasta. The alfredo sauce was amazing and was very creamy and delicious! The spaghetti and meatballs were good but not a standout compared to the other items we tried. I don't think you can go wrong here with any pizza or anything with their alfredo sauce on it!

Note- We did order a sandwich and it was very small and the bread a bit too crunchy for our liking. Personally it wasn't worth the price, so we'll stick to the pizza and pasta. The sandwich tasted great but just a little bit too small...
