Before my first visit to Pullano's, I had one mission: try the pizza. A friend had raved about it, describing it as the best in the area. Yet, stepping inside this humble Glendale establishment revealed a delightful surprise—Pullano's is so much more than a pizzeria. After browsing the extensive menu, which offers a genuinely wide variety of foods, I found myself completely diverted. This kitchen caters to absolutely anyone, proving it’s an ideal spot even for the pickiest of eaters. (Rest assured, the pizza remains on my agenda for my next trip!) While the food exceeded expectations, the true highlight of the afternoon was the incredible front-of-house team. Our bartenders, Sherry and Lisa, were simply phenomenal. From the moment we sat down, they made us feel not just welcomed, but genuinely at home. They run the bar with an impressive blend of professionalism and warmth, managing to be exceptionally quick and efficient at their jobs while maintaining a friendly, engaging presence. They embody the kind of old-school hospitality that elevates a simple meal into a memorable experience. My commitment to returning is as much about seeing Sherry and Lisa again as it is about trying the food! Since I put off the pizza for another day, I opted for a different classic: the turkey and cheese sub and an order of bruschetta. The sub was built on fresh bread with quality ingredients, making for a robust and satisfying lunch. The bruschetta, often a simple appetizer, was executed perfectly—bright, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's clear that the quality isn't just focused on one section of the menu; the entire kitchen staff should be commended for the consistent excellence they deliver across the board. The food was very good and served promptly and hot. A Local Treasure Worth Discovering Pullano's is, without a doubt, a hidden diamond in the rough. It’s the kind of local gem you’d never stumble upon unless someone recommended it, and I'm incredibly happy that a friend did. If you live in or are passing through Glendale, this spot is essential. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick meal, a drink, or finally trying that legendary pizza, you’ll be treated to amazing food and truly great company. I will definitely be going back to Pullano's!
