Brandoni Pepperoni

When a chef trades the precision of fine dining for the humble pizza oven, magic happens. That’s exactly what Brandon Gray—the mastermind behind Brandoni Pepperoni—brings to this Mid-City pizza destination. With a résumé that includes acclaimed tasting menu spots like Providence and Trois Mec, Gray applies that same meticulous attention to every pie that comes out of his kitchen.

The menu boasts over eighteen different pizzas, each showcasing ingredients sourced directly from local farmers’ markets. This isn’t your average delivery joint—think wild-caught Pacific shrimp, triple crème Brie, and Spanish octopus adorning perfectly blistered crusts. The Born And Raised stands out with Munak Ranch heirloom tomatoes and an array of fresh basil varieties that taste like summer on a slice.

If you’re looking for a must-try, the Straight Up Menace delivers on its bold name. House-made lamb sausage pairs with peppery wild arugula and spicy pickled peppers for a flavor combination that hits all the right notes. Every crust comes out with those coveted charred blisters and just the right chew, proving that fine-dining technique absolutely translates to casual comfort food.

Whether you’re settling in for a laid-back dinner or calling ahead for some seriously elevated takeout, Brandoni Pepperoni proves that pizza can be both unpretentious and exceptional. It’s the kind of place where quality ingredients and culinary expertise meet without any of the stuffiness.
