All of us tend to watch the area around us for new restaurants and when something new comes, we add it to the list of places to try. Yet, local places rely on these recommendations to people that don't live in the area. Brozinni Pizzeria is one of the places I probably never would have noticed or been to if I hadn't heard about it from co-workers who reside on the south side. Therefore, I owe this review to Bobby T, Bret, and Casey as if it were not for them, I would have never been to Brozinn's.
In a strip mall off of Emerson and County Line Rd on the south side, sits Brozinni Pizzeria. They offer New York style pizza, pasta dishes, typical pizza place items, and "Knuckles" (which will be discussed later). They sell by the slice at lunch (highly recommend), with pieces being very large. The manager explained to our group at one lunch that their sauces are made in house, which is something to brag about. To me is shows that they care enough to serve quality.
I'll just cut to the point. If you haven't been here yet, go. It is probably one of the best pizzas in Indianapolis (as it would be hard to dethrone Bazbaux). I have loved everything I've had there, but I am a huge fan of the 34th Street. It's a white sauce pizza (remember homemade sauce) with garlic, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, and scoops of ricotta (which isn't listed on the menu). This pizza is nothing short of a masterpiece, and this coming from a guy that almost always has to have meat on his pizza.
I hope you are still with me, as I am yet to discuss the trademark item at Brozinni's, Knuckles. Knuckles are basically breadsticks that are tied in knots, cooked, and drenched in garlic butter. These are a must. I will always get Knuckles every time I go to Brozinni's.
Like I said earlier, if you haven't been to Brozinni's, go. It might seem a bit out of the way for people that don't live on the south side. But it is worth the trip.
