Welcome to our award winning pizza and Italian bistro! Brugos was lovingly built to give that cozy, Italian bistro feel. Family owned for 18 years, we are kin to many famous restaurants in San Francisco and Milwaukee and it's those same true Italian family recipes you will find here! Everything is made to order fresh, from scratch, locally sourced when possible. In addition, we offer ecletic, trendy fare that is not so traditional! Dine in our beautiful restaurant and choose from one of gorgeous booths or sit outside on our open air patio with the bar door open so you can hear our beautiful music coming from within. We are in the heart of downtown Cave Creek in glorious Stagecoach Village, easy parking too. Voted Best Pizza a few times over you won't want to miss those or the family lasagnas, marsala, or picattas! Take n Bake pizza or To Go for home too! We are small, family owned and not pretentious and want you to feel like you are coming over to the house for dinner! Ciao!

    We love going to Brugos. The food is delicious and the atmosphere has a pleasant buzz. This week we feasted on Mom’s Spinach Salad and the Pesto Pasta. Patrick served up some great cocktails. And Christina was full of life! Thank you for a very good evening.
