Barro's Pizza opens second location in Casa Grande

The family-owned restaurant chain that has served its family's pizza recipe for over 42 years is opening a new location in Casa Grande — its fourth restaurant in southern Arizona.

Why expand in Casa Grande?

The owner, Bruce Barro, highlighted Casa Grande's thriving community in a recent news release.

"We opened our first restaurant there in 2012 and our customers have been so loyal and supportive, so it was certainly time to open a second location," he said.

Where is the pizzeria located?

The new location is at 839 N. Promenade Parkway in the building that used to house Mimi's Cafe.

The 6,000 square-foot restaurant is the largest Barro's Pizza with the "comfortable and causal neighborhood feel" it is known for, the release stated.

What is on the menu?

The new location will serve the same menu as other locations with not only pizza but also chicken wings, pasta, salads and subs, as well as beer and wine.
