Run — don’t walk — to the newest Fresh Brothers pizza store that opened this week in Burbank
Located at 4005 Riverside Avenue, between Pass and Maple, the Burbank store is the 19th location of the family-owned pizza chain. Founders Adam and Debbie Goldberg’s goal was to take their traditional Chicago-style family recipes, originally created by Adam’s older brother, Scott, and give them a fresh California twist. The Fresh Brothers sauce is packed with 100% fresh tomatoes, not concentrate. Nothing is ever fried; wings, bites, and tenders, even the Fresh fries are baked. Vegan options and gluten-free menu are also available. I LOVE their pizza!!!
