About Johnny Brusco's

Johnny Brusco's and Johnny's Pizza are true New York Style Pizzerias.
Johnny’s is proud to bring authentic, great-tasting New York Style Pizza and a variety of house-made dinners, craft beers, subs and more to the neighborhoods we call home. After a small-town start in 1977, we’ve grown to over 70 pizzerias across the Southeast.
Our dough is made fresh daily, never frozen, hand-tossed and topped with the best ingredients we can find - premium mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, fresh-packed tomatoes, hand-cut veggies, and Italian sausage and beef with no fillers. Then each pizza is brick-oven baked until it’s golden brown, always with our signature soft and crispy crust, and served hot at your table.
At Johnny’s, we grew up enjoying and perfecting pizza, and now we’re sharing our passion with everyone we serve
