4 stars for service, 3 stars for the food. A friend and I stopped in for lunch. We each decided on the chicken parmigiana sandwich. The man who took our order was very nice and helpful and brought our food and drinks to our table. Our sandwiches arrived relatively quickly and were good sized. We were both excited to dig in. The sandwich came in soft focaccia type bread, rather than a toasted sub roll. While the flavor was good, I was disappointed to find that my sandwich consisted of small pieces of chicken, rather than a breast, and while cheesy, was very light on sauce. There was way too much bread for the amount of chicken, so I just ate the small cheesy chicken pieces. Overall, this was just an ok meal. read more

We loved it. We stumbled upon this place on n or way home and my son had insisted we have pizza. This was the only place that was near us that seemed decent to eat. Well I was glad we stopped! My sub was delicious, and my kids loved their pizza. Great service and a cute little place. read more

We ordered a large pizza for pick up on the app and selected a pick up time. We got there at the selected time and the pizza was ready and hot. The pizza was very good! The staff were friendly and nice. One of the things i liked about the app was you could select your pizza to be cooked to well done... I dont like the crust to be doughy so that worked really well for me!! We will be back for sure. It was good and it is close to us read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brunetti's Express. Service: The employees are all extremely friendly and welcoming, and despite the fact that for dine-in, you order at the counter and they bring your food to you, they are very attentive and will come by and offer drink refills and make sure you are satisfied. You can comfortably make conversations with the people who own the place and work there. Food: excellent! We have had their pizza, a few different subs, and probably the best lasagna I have had in years! The Meatball Parmesan Sub is a favorite, and the bread is made in house and is less "bready" with a lot of substance and flavor. Ambiance: This appears to be newly renovated? The counter is vast and clean. There is limited seating, and they do a lot of carryout, but we prefer to dine in and it feels like you are at an actual solid family dining room table. There are some cool photos of the business and of Italy. The space is intimate enough to be able to hold a conversation with your dining companion, but it is casual so you can "come as you are" and not feel judged. Hours: they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. This can be a rude awakening if you are craving their fried zucchini on a Tuesday afternoon. I am new to the Mechanicsville area, and at first I was reluctant to try this place out because it just looks like a take-out or delivery place but wow, I am so happy to have given it a try. read more

Growing up my family always got Brunettis, we loved it. Recently, my wife and I have started eating there and the last two times we've gone, there was hair in our pastas. I am really disappointed and would love to be faithful to them again. I hope that something can be done to reconcile this issue. Thanks, S read more

Great food, great service, great time!! Got a kids meal and the bowl was bigger than my head!!!! read more

The meat cravers pizza is amazing. It is loaded with toppings and not greasy at all. I knew when I didn't see grease dripping from the pizza that they used quality ingredients and that it would be delicious. The staff is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food is good but the owner is the most arrogant individual. Had ordered from this place two previous times and was impressed with it. Few days ago ordered two Large pizzas that this "business owner" charges over $20 for and were the thinnest pizzas I've had in my entire life. I never held a slice of pizza that folded like paper and every single topping fall off. Called the restaurant and they all had a confusion on what pizza guy made it, to what I was told that it was a mistake and I had a store credit of the same amount. Went to the place today and explained the cashier even showed pictures turns out only $20 were credited and the owner approached telling me that he was the one who made those and were not thin, with my pictures he was trying to convince me that the pizzas are like that because they are large but mind you I purchased before and of course they were not thin AT ALL (who would come back for paper? ). This arrogant owner continued to laugh at me for not being happy by his answer, saying he wasn't going to argue but kept going back and forth ranting how he has worked for over 20 years and that the place is supposedly "#1" in the area when I mentioned that the food is actually good but that was not my order. His ego was more important than to be understanding and polite to his customers and the only resolution was to make the same exact pizza BUT of course I took my money back, CASH of course they can do that because writing down my card number to "refund" my money sounded really funny. Oh, and he will tell you to not come to that place ever again because he doesn't serve customers with complaints, will try to tell you to shut up specially if your mouth is smarter than his, LOL. Ciao!! read more

Highly recommend Brunetti's! Got a Margarita Pizza and Chic Brunetti Sub. Both were awesome! Super friendly employees, fast service, beautiful updated restaurant. read more

Brunettis is the best pizza place in Hanover county by far. I've had their pizza multiple times and it isn't super greasy like its competitors and it is way more authentic compared to fast food. This time I tried the Chicken Parm Sub and it was so so good. They fill this sandwich up to the brim with chicken, marinara, and mozzarella. The chicken is breaded nicely and the roll it is served on is almost like a baguette but softer. It actually adds a nice bite and crunch to the sub. This sub was filling, but if you are super hungry I would recommend the French fries as a side. They are to die for and surprisingly really good for a pizza shop. We also ordered the garlic knots (not pictured) and those are phenomenal too. They are pretty decent in size and drenched in the famous garlic sauce. They are airy and pillowy which add to it. The service is amazing at brunettis. The front desk worker was able to answer any questions and the staff constantly asked if we needed anything and refilled waters nicely. Lastly, although they are known for their takeout, the small dining room can still be enough for a small group of friends to enjoy a meal. The price is very affordable for the quality and quantity that you get. I highly recommend brunettis to all my friends that want an authentic and reasonably priced Italian meal! read more

Brunetti Express 301 - Chicken Parmesan Sub - Italian Near Me - Mechanicsville, Virginia

The fried ravioli appetizer is delicious, especially with the marinara dipping sauce. The real star of this show, however, are the buns for the subs. I got a meatball sub and couldn't get over how delicious the bun was. The meatballs were fine, the sauce is really tasty, but the buns are delicious. I'll be heading back for another sub soon! read more

We've been scouting our new neighborhood for likely dining options and spotted Brunetti's Express out of the corner of our eye. Boy are we glad we did! Our meat lasagna was just how we like eat. Meat, cheese and an excellent sauce. Can't wait to try the next menu item! read more

Brunetti Express 301 - Burnettis Steak Brunetti sub - Italian Near Me - Mechanicsville, Virginia

Fun and clever pizzeria, with lots of ambience and great food. It's always a great place to go with the family or to order out and the food is impeccable and very delicious. They also have a lot of variety and I would highly recommend it. read more

Very nice new renovation of restaurant. More efficient use of space, than before. So glad you chose to remove the drinks as self- serve. That scares my now. I am on my way to trying everything on the menu. So far, so good. read more

I've been going here for years. The food is great - the staff is friendly and they are pretty quick. Love their pizza...but the Italian sub is next level! read more

Pretty good New York style pizza. The other items on the menu we have tried have been good. I don't like that when picking up you are asked to tip on a take order. Sometimes asked loudly read more

Always good food and service with a quick cook time. Easy to use web ordering and friendly service via telephone. They even have a really good gluten-free pizza. I have a family member with celiac disease and this place is trustworthy if you tell them you can't have any gluten. read more

My family and I dined in for the first time this evening and the staff was nice and friendly. They explained how their dine in process works. They were patient and answered all the questions we had. We then ordered and paid and they brought the food/drinks to our table. They brought fresh baked bread while we waited. The wait was not long at all the food came out quickly. We all ordered the steak and cheese and it was the best I have had in this area and was also on their fresh baked bread. The meat to bread ratio was wonderful most places don't put enough meat and you're left with an excess of breading. We also ordered fries and a kids meal of chicken tenders and fries. The fries were plentiful at our table to where we didn't even need the extra order. We also could have ordered 2 steak and cheeses and split them between the four of us because we all ended up taking home the other half! So the portions are large and enough for 2 or for left overs later and who doesn't enjoy left overs!! My husband said the chicken tenders were the best he has ever had. We have ordered their pizza before and it was good as well. I am looking forward to going back and trying something new! read more

My experience was ordering for a client gathering. We anticipated about 25 individuals. Really not knowing how much to buy I called shortly after the restaurant opened to inquire. I couldn't have been more pleased. The young lady answered my questions and made suggestions based upon our Group size and budget. We ended up taking th catering route and ended up feeding the entire group for under 160 dollars. The pick up was just as seamless and the food was adequate and delicious. Everyone dug in and we looked prepared and professional because of the assistance of Brunelli's. read more

Great food, generous portions, friendly staff, and very clean establishment. We love it and eat in house and order out, too!

Pizza has always been good and they load the toppings! Never a disappointment! Would highly recommend!

Have been in Mechanicsville for about a month. Have eaten out a lot and most restaurants are OK. We love Italian so those are the restaurants we check out the most. Last night we ate at Brunetti's Express 301 and found our forever place. Not only do they do the BEST pizza, but their pasta dishes are excellent as well. They make your order the way YOU want it, not by the menu description. They are reasonably priced and serve you a lot of food. We easily have another whole dinner from what we took home. The staff is fabulous, especially Carol, a floor supervisor. She introduced herself to every table and took names and used the customers' names the whole while we were all there. This is a place that has been in Mechanicsville for awhile and you can tell. Their COVID arrangements were right on and so you could pickup, eat outside or inside. You can get delivery too. It seems like a fast food setup, but it is really the safest dining we've tried in a long time. They are remodeling starting June 27th, until after July 4th, so try to get in ASAP. read more

Got a meat lovers pizza to go that was hot & delicious (it was loaded with toppings & the crust was even soft and so good that we ate it). They offer a 5 percent discount for paying in cash which was greatly appreciated. read more

I tried this place a while ago and got some pasta, but was not fond of it and have not been back since. A coworker ordered a pizza and drink special they had quite a few times and I finally asked him where he ordered it from. He recommended I get the three topping personal pizza and a drink special they have regularly. I tried the pizza and I LOVED it. I have been telling everyone to get the special and they seem to like it also because they keep going back also. I think three toppings of your choice is pretty decent when most places just have one topping specials of their own choice. I'm going there for lunch today. Calling in my order NOW. :) read more

Solid option for pizza in Mechanicsville. My family hit Brunetti's at least twice a month.

First time ordering here. The Pizza was good (not the best I've ever had) but still good! They do not skimp on toppings that's for sure. We will order here again! read more

We got a large pepperoni pizza on Friday night. The large is not that large compared to other pizza places in the area. Maybe 14 inches? 25 minute wait and it was ok. read more

We tried to go today about 2:45 because it said it was open on their website. They were all eating lunch and told us they could serve us when they finished eating. I thought that was ridiculous for a restaurant to turn away customers so they could all eat lunch. I won't be returning. Very rude in my opinion. read more

The pizza is just okay. I will never be craving their pizza but they are one of the few places that deliver to us so when full laziness sets in, I will order from them. I tried to get a delivery for Saturday night. They said it would take 60-90 min to be delivered. For pizza, I think that is unacceptable. Get more drivers if you can't handle the load. I ended up driving to pickup but since I was picking up, I decided to go with a better pizza place. read more

Service is timely and efficient here. While seating is limited, it is still quaint. The pizzas are loaded with toppings balanced with a fluffy crust. Consider this restaurant for a quick delivery or take out. If time permits, enjoy car shows which frequently occur in the parking lot for added pleasure. read more

Brunetti Express 301 - Gonna try another Pizza/Pasta restaurant. - Italian Near Me - Mechanicsville, Virginia

Not sure why this place is receiving poor reviews. Ever since I ordered lunch, a delicious sub from Brunetti's Express, i've been hooked! Just went to the main Brunetti's on Atlee yesterday. Tried the chicken parmesan and standard turkey subs. The chicken parm was decent but forgettable- the sauce boring. The turkey sub with everyone on it, lettuce/tomatoes/onions/mayo/oil&vinegar was superb! Drooling thinking about it! A bit expensive. I paid $18 and change for two 8 inchers. Out of all the sub sandwich places in Hanover county, Brunetti's has been by far the best. Repeat customer for life here. read more

Looking for authentic New York pizza in Richmond? Brunetti's has the closest you'll find... it's thin crust, large pies with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. And during the week, they run specials where pies are $5 apiece. Brunetti's is a family-owned restaurant with humongous portions, and they do decent pasta dishes (I had lobster ravioli there and thought the sauce was a little too thick, and it was light on lobster taste... but it was all homemade... I've also had their rigatoni with meatballs- again, huge plate, covered in cheese with fresh sauce, but it was a little too sweet and thick for my taste). But the real reason to travel out to Hanover is for the pizza! read more

Our waiter was pleasant and took good care of us. The other server was a female who apparently had a cold because she was coughing and wiping her nose with her hand! Gross!! I don't like how the two of them would sit at a table and work on rolling silverware while carrying on their conversation. It's too laid back for me. Maybe I'm being too picky. So if you don't mind an ultra casual place - you might enjoy it here. The wedding soup that my hubby had was yummy he said. I had a personal pizza that was pretty greasy but what I expected. read more
