Best overall pick
Bruno's Pizzeria
Downtown Willard • Classic Local Pizzeria • Neighborhood Mainstay
Straightforward, well-made pies with just enough crunch and a loyal local following.
Bruno's feels like the kind of place that has quietly fed the town for years: no gimmicks, just solid pizza done right. The crust lands in that sweet spot between chewy and crisp, and they do not skimp on cheese or toppings. It is an easy choice when you want a reliable Friday-night pizza that will make everyone at the table happy.

Lively bar-style setting where crispy pies, cold drinks, and big screens come as a package deal.
Tucked inside the Varsity Club, this Cameo Pizza location is where Willard leans when the game is on and everyone is hungry. The pizza leans toward a thinner, crispier crust that holds up well under hearty toppings and extra cheese. It is a natural pick for groups who want to graze on appetizers, share a couple of large pies, and settle in for a full evening of sports.

Along Myrtle Avenue • National Delivery Chain • Fast Delivery Staple

On The East Side Of Willard • Buffet-Style Pizza Chain • Best For Big Groups
