The Write-Up
Pizza Bruno on Curry Ford is Bruno Zacchini's wood-fired neighborhood room, all blistered, naturally leavened crust and bold flavors. The garlic knots are the cult order, one diner calling them terrific, the best anywhere in town, and the Crimson Ghost and the Blanca with lemon ricotta lead a tight specialty lineup. Service runs fast, the patio hums, and a College Park second location covers the craving west of the tracks.
