Stanley Wouldn't be the Same with out Papa Brunee's Pizza

Papa Brunee's Beginnings

In 1923, Pete Piva, the great-grandfather of the current owners, left his small Italian village of Olgiasca on the northeast shore of Lake Como, where Italy meets the Swiss Alps, and came to Challis, Idaho to summer range herds of sheep. The stunning Sawtooth Mountain Range likely reminded him of home. Pete's son, Bruno Piva, is the namesake of the restaurant. When one of Bruno's grandkids couldn't pronounce his name, they began calling him Papa Brunee, and the nickname stuck. In 1998, Papa Brunee's Pizza and Subs was opened by Papa Brunee's son, Mike, with the secret pizza sauce recipe created by Aunt Ruby. Today, the restaurant remains a family operation with Papa Brunee's grandson Josh and his wife Inga at the helm. Keep an eye out for their young daughters - the next generation is already here!

Family Owned & Operated

Hey there! We're the family behind Papa Brunees, and we're all about creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Our restaurant is a place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy some seriously delicious food made with the freshest ingredients.  And since we're family owned and operated, you can expect a warm and friendly vibe every time you visit. So come on over, grab a bite, and let's have some fun together at Papa Brunees!
