    Wow First time here, place is seemed like it would be great. Monica was the cashier girl and she was so sweet! But I waited for 10 min for 1 slice after they told me 1 min but that's not why I'm writing this. The guy puting the orders together grabbed my pizza with his bare hands and put it in the oven, after I watched him deal with 100 other items for other ppl, I politely asked for another slice && he had the audacity to justify his actions by telling me "the oven kills the germs" that shows me that he must do that often and he feels better by telling himself that the "oven kills the germs" I literally came in just for that. I don't like he tried to tell me that like it was ok. I'm so disappointed because I'm a nurse (I was in scrubs) u can't tell me 30seconds in an oven is going to kill all the germs. But it sucks cuz my entire office goes there / order from there well not any more. Place in side does have sitting at least, place is ehhh. But I won't be going back even tho i love pizza.

    Never been to Buona before or heard of it. I was doing my laundry up the street and was hungry and wondered in for a slice. Amazing slice, crispy but not burnt, crust was great, pizza was fresh. I loved it.

    So their sign on the door says best pizza, we'll let me tell you! The pizza place is my new go to! The crust is so good perfect crisp. The price is right and the staff is wonderful. They have plenty of parking and a few tables inside. They are very busy for lunch but fast.

    Salad Pizza

    Hands-down my favorite pizza place in all of Jersey, simply because of their salad pizza. You can taste why this business is an award winner with your first bite - fresh ingredients, simple yet stunning execution with a combination of flavors that leaves you pining for another slice. The only mistake I've made in the past was not ordering enough. I hear their cheese is really good, too. But the salad pizza is phenomenal.

    White slice with spinach a little bland, could have used more flavor preferably fresh garlic.

    I haven't been to Fiamma Wood Fire Pizza in Westfield for a long time. I was really craving their…read morebaby spinach salad, so I decided to go and enjoy it. I went on a Monday night, so it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. We ordered the baby spinach salad, calamari, and penne vodka. I liked all the food, but the salad had too much dressing. That was my fault because I didn't ask for less. Overall, our server was very nice and we enjoyed our meal.

    I visited Fiamma Wood Fired Pizza recently with a friend for what we hoped would be a satisfying,…read morequick bite. While the company was great, the restaurant itself left much to be desired, resulting in a decidedly average experience that I'm rounding up from 2.5 to 3 stars purely for the enjoyable evening with my friend. Walking in, the first thing we noticed was how cramped the dining area felt. Tables are placed quite close together, which can make for a noisy and somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere. Our initial table hadn't been wiped down from the previous guests, which was an immediate red flag. We quickly moved to a clean table ourselves. Service was sporadic; our server was prompt in taking our drink and food orders but then seemed to disappear. We weren't checked on after our meals arrived, and getting a refill on water or the check required catching someone's eye. It felt very transactional. A major heads-up for future diners is that Fiamma is a BYOB establishment, as their on-site drink options are limited to water and sodas. I highly recommend bringing your favorite wine or beer to complement the meal. Unfortunately, the food was a mixed bag. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which was underwhelming. The main issue was a serious lack of seasoning beyond a heavy hand with the salt, and the calamari itself didn't taste fresh; it had a slightly rubbery texture. I ended up eating only a few pieces and left the rest. For my entrée, I had the Gamberoni Scampi. This was a step up but still had its flaws. On the positive side, the linguini was well-cooked, and there was a generous amount of shrimp. The biggest issue was the sheer volume of pasta; it was an immense portion that overwhelmed the other components. I ate about 30% of the pasta and all the shrimp, but it felt wasteful. The dish was decent, but not compelling enough to make me want to tackle such a huge portion again. Based on this visit alone, my experience was a little subpar. Between the cramped space, inattentive service, and underwhelming food, Fiamma didn't live up to its potential. However, the meal was a firm reminder that good company can elevate any experience. The name of the place is "Wood Fired Pizza," and I clearly made a mistake by not ordering their signature item. I'm willing to give Fiamma another chance solely to try the pizza. For now, my recommendation is, if you come, bring your own drinks, maybe skip the appetizers, and definitely order the pizza.

We ordered 2 pizzas and the carbonara. The pizzas were good. The folks were friendly and greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant. There is some parking but if the place is packed, we're not sure where else to park. We would be coming back with the family on a sunday (and possibly need to update this post)

My family and I…read moreconsist of allium-free vegetarians; traditional Italian places and vegetarian Indian/East Asian eateries, breakfast/brunch places are usually a better bet and I spotted this place on the map. I ended up giving them a try with my friend who was visiting us from out-of-state for a few days. I did call ahead of time and it didn't really fill me up with a lot of hope, but as of now, I still haven't tried any local places yet so I took my friend (omnivore, no allergies) there anyway. Also because we were on a time crunch and I had no time to look around for Option B. We went for lunch on a Thursday, maybe around 1 pm. Conveniently located near the Fanwood Train Station. They have a shared parking lot down the side and around the back (it's a dead end so the way you came in is the way you'll come out). There was no one else there but a waitress who was in the middle of decorating the blackboard with their specials and the Chef, though there was a take out order and they were bring in some deliveries. Everything seemed pretty clean but we were clearly there during their slower hours. Just as a disclaimer, I was told pretty much all their sauces there contained alliums. I ended up getting the following at my own suggestion: BLACK TRUFFLE BURRATA that came with these flatbreads. These are noted as house made; I love it when eateries make their own food from scratch! At $14, it was pretty reasonably priced but it did only come with four pieces of the bread. No free refills to my experience, but I also didn't ask. Delicious, flavorful, and simple. I fully expected to get something like this and was glad I didn't end up with a simple salad and olive oil. A solid appetizer. My friend enjoyed this as well! She topped her pizza with it. My friend got the TRIFOLATA. It's a mushroom based pizza and she said it was good. No complaints but did pick off the burnt bits, but that's expected with a wood fired oven. She liked it and was interested in trying other pizzas/pastas if she has the chance and is in the area again. I really struggled on how to rate this place. Cleanliness was on point from what I saw, place was cohesively decorated, tables might be on the smaller side if everyone orders a pizza, service was... somewhat adequate? They didn't really seem to know how to treat me and didn't really give any suggestions and it wasn't even because they were busy. Just did their job and maybe a few comments. We were asked once how the food was and it was directed at my friend. Having said that, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and when we left and I'd say our waitress was friendly. If you had no dietary restrictions (or at least not to alliums are on a low FODMAP diet), you'd probably have a better time. As for me? At least I know where to go for good burrata! Personally, I initially wanted to rate them 3 stars for the lack of substantial choices other than fancy cheese and bread, but seeing as I went anyway despite knowing that things weren't in my favor, it is on me. So I'm giving them 4 stars because what I had was good (but it might be the only thing I can have) and my friend enjoyed her pizza. They do note what items contain nuts on their menu and they have gluten free options which was what brought them to my attention in the first place. I have a kid with multiple food allergies. Unfortunately, their GF options contains eggs ... which is another one of my kid's allergies. If I go back again, it'll likely be with the same friend. Overall, a solid place for Italian food, but sadly not for my family.
