Third Orlando-area Pizza Bruno opening soon in the newly constructed Maitland Social

Orlando neighborhood pizzeria and Italian eatery Pizza Bruno is getting ready to fire up the oven in its latest location in downtown Maitland.

Mega foodie Bruno Zacchini is getting very close to opening his third Orlando-area Pizza Bruno in downtown Maitland.

It is hoped that the third Orlando area Pizza Bruno will open by the end of June, within the newly constructed Maitland Social on Horatio Avenue just east of Orlando Avenue.

Pizza Bruno has a big fan following for its Neapolitan styled wood-fired pizzas, pastas and irresistible garlic knots.

Bruno will join other new tenants at Maitland Social like the recently opened Foxtail Coffee, plus soon to open Wave Asian Bistro.

Until the new location opens you can find Pizza Bruno at 3990 Curry Ford Rd, and 2429 Edgewater Dr.

Bruno Zacchini grew up in Florida and spent summers on the Jersey shore where he first stepped into a kitchen at the age of 13 slinging pizza slices & cheese steaks to the beach goers & boardwalk crowds. Having moved to Orlando in 2002 for culinary school and thus began his culinary career.

Working with many notable local chefs & developing his craft, he eventually opened up the legendary food cart, Bruno's Bites. Making a name for himself around town, Bruno moved on to help open Cask & Larder followed by time as the Executive Chef of Oblivion Taproom.

During this time, Bruno took on a consulting position with Third Wave Cafe in New Smyrna Beach where he made a name for himself & his wood fired pizzas. Bruno remained at Third Wave Cafe for about 3 years enabling it's current status as one of the best restaurants in NSB.
