Since opening its doors in 2009, this relaxed pizzeria has become a cornerstone of the community, offering hand-tossed pies crafted with the same passion and precision that defined its origins. The story of Johnny Brusco’s traces back to 1977, when founders Bruce Jackson and Scott Allen scribbled “Now Open” on a pizza box and propped it in their Atlanta storefront window, marking the humble beginnings of what would grow into a beloved franchise. Today, under the leadership of Bruce’s son Luke, the brand continues to thrive, blending decades of pizza-making expertise with a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients.

At Johnny Brusco’s, every pizza starts with dough made fresh daily, never frozen, and hand-tossed to achieve the perfect balance of crispness and chewiness characteristic of New York-style crusts. Toppings like premium mozzarella, fresh-packed tomatoes, hand-cut vegetables, and Italian sausage with no fillers ensure each bite delivers robust, authentic flavors.
