My review is based on a delivery experience. I ordered at 5pm and the quickest they could deliver was 7pm on a Friday night. The pizza was overcooked and this really caused an unpleasant taste in the crust. The pizza sauce is my favorite part of ordering from here and it was just a thin amount. Overall I was not happy with the quality of the pizza on this specific order.

Let me preface by saying that I love cheese, however, this lasagna had WAY too much. The lasagna had literally a pound of mozzarella on there and very little of ricotta (if any), lasagna noodles, sauce, and Italian sausage. It was so gross, it left a film in my mouth of oil long after I was finished eating. There was enough cheese on there for not only my lasagna, I also put some on my garlic bread, trying to take some off of the lasagna, and a pool of it left over after I was finished eating what I could of the actual lasagna. I think the issue was that they ran out of ricotta and instead of just asking if I wanted something else, tried to substitute the moz. I will never order this disaster of a dish again and the only reason I gave this place two stars is because my boyfriend ordered the chicken parm and I had a bite of that, it was really good. I wish I had been so lucky and ordered that.

Pizza was good overall and service was good. Steak sandwich was the most disgusting sandwich ever had by a long shot. It was some type of frozen loaf. Other sandwiches were barely average

Bearno’s has become a once a week go to lunch wise for my buddy and myself. Their pizza buffet and salad bar is typically our choice. They have a pretty good selection of pizzas to choose from, sausage, pepperoni, a veggie, a supreme, a Hawaiian style and a few others. The salad bar has the standard options such as onions, cucumber, tomato, croutons, cheese and a good selection of dressings. In addition to this they have garlic sticks, cinnamon sticks, and pasta options as well. If you do not want the buffet they have a full menu of pizzas, pasta salads and wings
This place however is not exactly consistent sometimes the place is crazy packed, others it’s empty. Sometimes it also feels like they are forced to put quantity over quality. Overall though this is a good spot to grab some lunch watch some sports and get away for a while.

Want a quick lunch!?! Bearnos isn’t too bad. For average above fast food pizza, it is decent. Bearnos offers a lunch buffet for $ 9 that includes a salad bar, pizza bar, and selected entrée. If you wanna gorge for cheap, then this is the place.

Coming here strictly as a 2nd choice, I think this place will move to a 1st choice position. We came here because Rocky’s didn’t have any air conditioning. The air is ice cold and great at this place. We ordered the Mama special and it was piled high with ingredients. Lindsay was our server and she made us feel right at home. Call this place a home run!

I always eat here when I’m in downtown Louisville. The atmosphere, food and service is great! Their pizza, wings, garlic bread, and various sandwiches are delicious. I especially like the Italian wings.

Great atmosphere. Great service. Pepperoni and works pizza was delicious. Salad for family is big and fresh. Desserts were great — especially silk pie. Apps were solid too — sticks and cheese bread.

Ordered delivery on a Thursday at 10pm was quoted a hour. It finally showed up after a hour and a half and a phone call later. Not even close to worth the wait. Over priced card board with no pizza sauce! It’s almost $ 2 for each topping. There are way too many pizza options in louisville to go here! A frozen pizza would have been better and much cheaper. This place is a rip off.

Haven’t had Bearno’s for several years because I moved. Just had a Mama Bearno’s special and it was just as I remember, Delicious!

The place smelled of alcohol when I walked in and the tables were not clean.
Ordered the lasagna. It was borderline awful. .
.they had all the ingredients but the flavor reminded me of something out of a box.
Place is full of fruit flies which harassed me the entire time.
I won’t return!

The pizza from here is really good but it’s also fairly expensive. We had delivery of a large all meat pizza & they actually got here quicker than their time estimate. It was tasty & we had a third of it left for next day.

The pizza was delicious! If you like thin crust this is your place. The toppings and everything else for that matter were very flavorful. I would definately eat here again.

As a «lunch only option», I’d give them 4 stars, as the crowd is light enough to keep everyone happy. But overall, it only gets 3 stars because of the flat out mediocre pizza.
My buddy and I usually hit up their lunch buffet twice a month since its conveniently located by our workplace. Ends up costing around 10 bucks with a drink, but the crowd is light so the cooks are able to keep the buffet well stocked so that you can vet your moneys worth in food.
If you happen to come during a uofl game night, good luck! Since its right by YUM it gets packed quick and the wait is FOREVER!
As far as the pizza goes, its not anything that you couldn’t make yourself at home in your own oven. The flavor is lacking and the toppings are blah. They call it «Louisville Style Pizza», which I consider a slap in the face to the city. We have lots of other pizzerias that could wear that name with a lot more pride.

How many ways can one place mess up an order? Everyone around us received their orders, and after two hours… nothing. This restaurant seems to be a nightmare. Five people have come up to us to apologize, and we still have neither food nor check (which we have repeatedly requested).
Avoid avoid avoid this place.

The pizza crust is what I disliked the most. The crust was dry and actually tasted remarkably like saltine crackers. The sauces and topping were actually good, but the terrible crust ruined it for me. The crust problems apply to the breadsticks as well.

My favorite pizza place in Louisville. I have had bad experiences at the other Bearno’s, but this location always comes thru for me.
I love Bearno’s approach to pizza, and find theirs to be one of the most distinctive pies in the country (I outta know as I travel coast-​to-​coast and live to try new pie) and certainly the most toppings I have ever seen.
I usually get the Mama Bearno’s Special or the All Meats Special. It’s an amazing amount of toppings on pizza. Be prepared to get a box for leftovers. These fill you up quick.
The pizza is a bit pricey, but all those toppings add up!
The location is very cool, and directly across the street from the YUM! center, so it’s a good spot to eat before a game or event. The bar itself is tastefully decorated (you better like wood though).
I look forward to eating here every time I come to Louisville.

Not very good. Had the Mama special. It’s supposed to be their most popular, and maybe I just like pizza too much, but I’d rather have Louisville’s much more famous chain pizza joint (Papa John’s) than this stuff. And I don’t even like Papa John’s. The pizza was a bit cold, the toppings were less fresh, etc.
Service was also slow. Extremely slow. I think we waited about 20 minutes between each drink refill, then 20 minutes more to get our bill (after asking). Good thing I had good company to help me pass the time. To boot, the restaurant wasn’t even busy.

We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza. It was actually really good… with plenty of cheese and huge chunks of chicken.
It is a bit pricey though.
The waitresses were friendly and helpful.
The menu and buffet mainly have items with pork, which I do not eat; but that’s a problem all over the South.

There are definite reasons to eat here.
They include:
The wait staff is very friendly and attentive.
No wait for a table in the middle of lunch rush.
Love this location in the middle of downtown.
Good price for the lunch buffet.
And let me say that again: lunch buffet. So plenty of options.
But — big but — the pizza is kind of meh. Maybe it’s because Louisvillians are spoiled with pizza options, but better pizza is out there.
Still, for lunch, I will be back because of all the pros listed.
