Bruno’s or Arni’s

[BoilerStation]

Arnis all day for me. I dont mind Bruno's pizza but I dont crave anything else from there. With Arnis I get a pizza and salad every single time and sometimes a Hot Sicilian. The homemade dressing at Arnis, particularly the Thousand Island is better than dressing I can get anywhere else.

For thin crust, Arni’s.

For pan crust (and Purdue memorabilia), Bruno’s.

That said, I’d probably pick Pizza King over both simply because I always went there as a kid, loved the train that delivered drinks, always sat in the Ross-Ade booth, and played Sega for 25 cents. That place couldn’t be beat as a kid. I was really sad when it closed.

Arni's started out as Pizza King.

After a few years he broke off but the pizza really didn't change.

I liked Sorrentos when it was open. Fond memories there.

Sorrento’s was great. Keady used to hold court after games with his entourage in the lounge, where patrons could choose from the restaurant menu or the Pizza King. Then the whole corner was bought out and torn down. Now all we have to show for it is a long-abandoned CVS.

Any mention of East Coast pizza makes me laugh. Not only do the warped aficionados absurdly insist on eating it backwards -- like driving in reverse on the Turnpike -- but I recall joining my Connecticut cousins for a delivered dinner, then eyeing what my excited hosts called a pizza. Eighth-inch crust, even less cheese and no toppings. Ya gotta be kiddin’ me. I’d had better from a frozen box by Chef Boyardee. I did help them get rid of it, though.

On the other hands, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, whether from Gino’s or Uno’s or Gee-I-Don’t-Know’s, resembles the outcome of a big family scraping their Italian dinner plates into a mini trash can. But it sure is good … until it lands with a bang inside. Hire two sets of bearers -- for your leftovers and yourself.

One of my grandmothers always called pizza an American invention, and she was from Italy. Actually, I think it’s good anywhere. All good. Way too good. Especially at Bruno’s and Arni’s.

The pizza is definitely different. Pizza King is better but gotta love Arni's salads

I have never ordered anything except a sausage pizza and an Arni's Junior salad.

The voting results are incredibly close!

Arni’s for me but I grew up in Lafayette. I also worked there back before Lafayette had every chain restaurant known to man. My guess is that Arni knew nothing about Six Segma but would have been considered a master black belt in the way he ran his restaurants.

Facts that some may not know. Arni owned the Pizza King distbition and manufacturing side of that business so for those that said you prefer Pizza King, you were still eating at Arni’s

I also have no idea of what that guy was worth at his passing but it was a bunch. Owned shopping centers and hotels in Louisville as well as his pizza chain. The money came from pizza but he was a good business man.

Forgot to add my dish of choice. Stromboli with extra TP and red crushed pepper. Small tossed with cheese. VO dressing. Man I am hungry now.
