Barone's Express was opened by a family member which is why they can use the name but it is NOT sanctioned by the true Barone's Restaurant. The pizza is extremely similar cosmetically but trust me, never as good as the real thing. Tom has fine tuned Barone's on Oxnard & the pizza as well as everything is as good as it's been in my 55+ years of pure bliss there & also as consistent. Blow your mind with the stuffed mushrooms! OMG! Roasted (bell) peppers? Order them though not on the menu and sop up the gravy with their killer fresh bread. Mmmm! It was 20-25 yrs before I tried pizza other than plain (cheese) which is still #1 but sausage is amazing and it is crumbled, not sliced. Meatball is great. My favorite generic pizza is pepperoni but not here.
Barones appears to be the same. I looked up Barones Famous Italian Resturant and it is the same Barones I'm talking about.
Not sure. Where is the location of the other place? I'm pretty sure these guys have only been local for a long time.
I don't know for sure but the resturant has great pizza so i wouldn't be surprised if they were linked.
