Pizza New York Style. A fave spot for my family. Get it by the slice or a whole pizza. Very affordable and casual. The staff there is always fun and helpful. They remember my family and love chatting with my sons. If you like Bongiorno's in Solana Beach come see this spot with the same great menu. read more

LOVE their Hawaiian pizza. Those ham slices are so good. It's best eaten when fresh- when hot and out of the oven it gets a crispy bottom. Their spaghetti bolognese is also fire. It was sooo warm and steaming. Great amount of sauce + meat in the sauce. Garlic bread is decent, but not very garlicky and pretty dry. I would get it with a marinara but otherwise pass. Great salad too! Crispy Romain lettuce and a hint of feta on top. Great ambiance by the ocean. Plus afterwards you can stop for a coffee next door at Birdrock Coffee Roasters. read more

I'm in love with the pizza here! I'm not a huge pizza person but I I really enjoy it from here. Maybe it's the sea breeze from the adjacent Torrey Pines or the open air patio view, or maybe it's a combo of the food quality and the company I get to enjoy it with. Who's to say! Service was excellent and the staff is super friendly and funny. The place is giving So. Cal beach vibes and I love that's it's mostly locals. It's almost summer so I'll be bringing our summer guests for sunsets and pizza. They have pizza by the slice, whole pies, vegetarian options, I think vegan too, and a tasty gluten free option too! read more

Stopped by for lunch after hiking Torrey Pines, what a beautiful hike and to top it off we got to see part of the Torrey Pines golf course. I consider myself to be somewhat of a pizza snob and I have to say this was some of the best pizza I have ever had. If you like a thin crust pizza that stands up well I think you will love this pizza. My wife and I had the two slice special along with two garlic rolls. I had a margarita slice which was one of the best I have ever had and the second slice was meatball and a few veggies, outstanding. The garlic rolls were on the dense side but when you dip them in the marinara sauce it was perfection. We ordered a couple to go to enjoy later read more

We came here craving thin crust pizza and decided to try an 18" pie, half Hawaiian and half eggplant. We also subbed ham for pepperoni. The flavors were good overall, and we do like their thin crust style. Unfortunately, the bottom of the pizza was pretty burnt, which gave it a bitter taste and took away from the experience. That was a bit disappointing, especially since the toppings themselves were enjoyable. Love that they have seatings inside and outside. There is also a little bar station outside. The view is amazing! On a positive note, the staffs were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. I'd be open to giving this place another try, hoping the crust comes out better next time. read more

Buonasera - Red veggie pizza - Pizza Near Me - Del Mar, California

I got the chorizo pizza-- it had sliced of jalapeño, some red onion, and crumbled chorizo that got all crispy ... so good! But not as good as my favorite the Buffalo chicken & ranch. It was nice for a change of taste. I don't think you can go wrong with any slice you choose. The pizzas are thin and crispy, with a good chew in the crust. They make them fresh in the early morning & yeah it sits in the case -- but they heat it up very well for you. It's not overly cooked or worse, cold! The slices are fairly priced and there's lots of seating available. Many people opt to sit outside in the sunshine, rather than inside. Service was good, the worker was kind and even brought the pizza out to our table. read more

This spot in Del Mar was such a good find!! The whole place has a really nice coastal feel to it, but still feels elevated and put together. One of the first things that stood out to me was the outdoor bar area. It has granite countertops that looked super nice, and with the afternoon sun hitting them, it gave the whole space a really clean, high-end look. Inside is really nice too. They have big windows that let in a ton of natural light, which makes the whole place feel bright, open, and welcoming. Outside might have been my favorite part though. The seating area overlooks the beach and the marsh that connects to the ocean, so the view is honestly hard to beat. They also have these red umbrellas outside that add a really nice pop visually, and the landscaping is done really well too, which ties the whole outdoor space together. Food wise, the pizza was delicious. I got the buffalo pizza and the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and both were really solid. My favorite if the two was the CBR. Definitely the kind of place where the food matches the setting. The pricing was also pretty reasonable, which made the experience even better. The service was great too. Everyone there was really nice, friendly, and easygoing, which made the whole vibe even better. This feels like the perfect spot to hit after a surf session, a beach day, or even a hike around the area. You get the best of both worlds, plenty of sun and that outdoor SoCal feel, but also enough shade where you can actually relax and enjoy being outside without cooking in the sun. Overall, really good food, really nice atmosphere, great service, and an awesome location. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

Came here after we attempted to hike Torrey pines but sadly it was closed. We were hungry and came here for lunch. Two small one year children and four hungry adults walk in and find seating outside. You order inside and they bring the food out to you. Weirdly, I didn't get a number or anything after I placed my order for pizza, garlic knots, and antipasto salad. They had a deal for 6 breadsticks for $7 otherwise it was $1.50 each. I was hoping to get the garlic knots earlier bc I was so hungry. I thought they were just going to grab it from the display window and bring it out. It ended up what felt like forever (realistically like 10 min lol) when they heated it up and give us marinara sauce to dip it in. It was so garlicky and delicious. I'm a garlic girl and I approve! We devoured the knots while we waited for the pizza. I was obviously pretty hungry otherwise I would have remembered to take a photo of the food. Oops. I didn't try the antipasto salad but my crew said it was good. I'm personally not a fan of iceberg lettuce. The pizza we ordered was a large half margarita and half Miramar. The pizza hit the spot. The crust wasn't too doughy and had a good amount of crunch to it. My favorite was the Miramar. The Gorgonzola cheese paired well with bacon. It was just what we needed to revive ourselves. We all took a long nap after from the food coma. I'm glad I got to try this spot. read more

Buonasera - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Del Mar, California

Starting with the venue, the outdoor patio has a fantastic view of the Penasquitos Lagoon and the Torrey Pines Mesa. The place is one-half old-school NY pizzeria, and one-half SoCal outdoor patio. Indoors has display cases for all of the pizzas by-the-slice and a few tables and a big screen TV. The outdoor patio has a number of tables and a very chill bar with a pretty good craft beer menu. Likely a great place to drink away an afternoon or watch a sunset. I suspect you could walk in here off the beach and fit right in. The food: The menu is pizza focused but also had a broad range of Italian-American style dishes such as pastas. I came here for the pizza and had a couple of slices with pepperoni. Very authentic NY style pizza. Nice crust. A little bit of oil dripping as you ate. I felt like I was back on in Manhattan. I also had a 'small' Cesar salad which was not that small. Salad was decent, nothing special. I'd highly recommend if you're jonesing for some NY style pizza in a casual venue. read more

Went to the beach with my husband and I walked the beach while he fished. Afterwards we stopped by Buonasera Pizzeria for a quick and tasty bite to eat before heading home. The line was out the door but moved fast. You can pick by the slice from whatever pizzas they have available at any given time or you can order whole pizzas to eat in or take home. Pizza sizes were decent and tasted good as well. There seating both indoors and outdoors. They have a bar on their outdoor patio. Definitely a place to consider is you want a quick bite close to the beach. read more

As a born, bred and buttered New Yorker I have a p a l a t e for my pizza! This has been the ultimate conquest for me as a new Californian. I find myself getting almost there. Thankful for the kind citizen I struck up a convo with at the Cardiff farmers market who found out I was from upstate NY and asked me if I found good pizza here and recommended this place- NYers always looking out for one another. It's a ways away but if I was in the area I'd def pop in for a slice and a drink. Not sure about parking but looks like only street parking and it's busy. Small dining area but seemed to turnover quickly- love the patio area with seats and a full bar. The pizza was tasty. I'd be curious to try their famous crime scene slice. The garlic knots were also good and large. It was nice to have the salad options to feel like I had a balance meal. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Oh and the price point is really good! About $13 for that and you could easily split between 2. read more

The deals they have on slides is great! Of course there's salad and some desserts as well to give a try. Honestly the standout star is the pizza. Fair warning, the street parking can get busy so recommend biking here to save some time and work off the calories on the uphill. There are adult beverages, but not the most massive selection. Plenty got ensure you'll have a good time. You would have a hard time going wrong here. The garlic knots are good too, but best served hot. read more

This pizza + Italian food spot is the absolute bomb. My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite after a long, long walk on the beach. Awesome day! The pizza is amazing, the service is exceptional and the views are memorable and truly nice and relaxing to take in. If you stop in at Buonasera you can also grab a coffee to the right or get a taco on the left at the neighboring businesses. The architecture and overall building design was executed quite well and the walkways adjoining the three spots to dine was really well thought out. We were going on for sushi in La Jolla but couldn't help but sample one of their garlic knots, and a slice. My friend doesn't eat meat so they were so accommodating to actually line one half with my pepperoni! Excellent. I had a beer and she had some wine. Two suggestions: please add sour beers to your list. Everything is IPA. IPA, IPA, HAZY IPA. ; [ Sours were the very first beer style ever invented! They go well with food, so bring some in please! Also, the wine selection, kinda lacking big time here and they have nothing that sparkles, as in champagne. Yes, it is that kind of place because we are on the coast and maybe want to sip some bubbly to salute to the sun as she sails to the other side of the world over night...... Highly recommend!! Please offer the up and coming craze for people who know wine: VERMENTINO from Sargegna AKA Sardinia and it is also found in Tuscany. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you will LOVE Vermentino. read more

We stopped by today for some slices of pizza after the gym (ironic right). Street parking was limited as expected on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Torrey Pines. There's a bar area which is convenient if you want full service vs ordering inside with cashier. The slices of pizza available are on full display in front. They have a nice 3 slices with soda for $13. They had a great tv/projector in main room playing Sunday football. Ordering was easy but not personable. I wanted a calzone and asked for advice b/w that ($16) vs the $13 for 3 slices. He didn't really say much except calzone would take 30m to make vs 2 min to heat up the slices of pizza. The guys heating up the slices were SUPER cool and helpful though! They offered suggestions on the slices and even gave me thoughts about the calzone vs stromboli. I enjoyed the Crime Scene slices as well as the Meat Lover slice. The crust was well crisped and had a nice chew to it. I would come back to try more items. read more

We love it here- patio is great to watch the game or just bring the dog and hang. I usually have the pizza deal $4 a slice, but today splurged for the Italian sandwich- $13- it is a totally sleeper item on menu... Amazing and one of the best. Staff said the meatball sub is even better! It's also big enough for two to share. read more

On my way to San Diego I was craving some pizza so I stopped by. I've been wanting to come here, and I was not disappointed. I got one of their specials you could get a beer with a couple of slices of pizza. Pizza was good crust was amazing. There is indoor and outdoor sitting. And a bar right in front.

Saw this place on my way to Torrey Pines off Carmel Valley Rd. When returning to the hotel, I made a pit stop and was glad I did. I got the Margherita pizza, which is simple and classic. Although, the display case was full of other delicious choices. They take your chosen slice and pops it back in the oven to warm up. The pizza is thin (which I prefer) and you can smell the basil after having been warmed up. The crust has just enough char as it was still pliable and can be folded in half. I paired it with a glass of Chardonnay at the bar. The ambiance was perfect, with the cool breeze and the sun setting in the background. read more

Buonasera in Del Mar is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk up, the place gives off a clean, open, and inviting vibe. It's casual but polished, exactly what you'd want from a coastal pizzeria within walking distance of Torrey Pines State Beach. Inside, everything is neat and modern, with plenty of natural light. Outside, there's a relaxed patio area with a bar, perfect for soaking in the sunshine. Whether you're coming in sandy from the beach or dressed up for sunset drinks, you'll feel welcome. I ordered a New York-style slice, and I was blown away. It's seriously one of the best NY slices I've had in San Diego, especially for only $4. Thin, crisp crust, quality cheese, balanced sauce, and just the right amount of grease (you know what I mean). You can grab pizza by the slice or a full pie, which makes it super convenient whether you're solo or with a group. The employee who helped me was fast, respectful, and genuinely kind, no over-the-top upselling or slow service, just smooth, professional hospitality that made the experience even better. read more

After a hike at Torrey Pines Reserve, a group of us stopped by Buonasera Pizza to refuel--and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Spinach and Ricotta along with a Pepperoni and Sausage pizza. The crust? Spot on, crispy yet chewy, just what we needed after a long day on the trails. The Spinach and Ricotta was light and flavorful, while the Pepperoni and Sausage hit all the right savory notes. What really made the experience even better was the view.

Really enjoyed this casual pizza eatery! It was late and we were looking for a place to grab a bite on Saturday night. They had a big screen TV inside with the game on and a large patio bar outdoors. The interior is small with counter service, very quick and efficient. Pizza was good, around $4 a slice and the garlic knots (more like rolls) at $1.50 each were delicious. read more

Let me start off by saying the food is good, that is not at all my complaints. We got the 3 slice and drink deal, plus a salad and a pasta Alfredo. The pasta was spaghetti noodles vs Alfredo noodles but I let that slide since the sauce was good. The pizza was also good, the salad was probably my favorite since it was so fresh. My complaint mainly is the flies, the place is infested inside and outside, we sat inside thinking it would be best but it was a struggle to eat with a whole bunch of flies, about 20 of them just were we were at. I had to cut it short and finish the rest at home, parking can also be a struggle as there is other shops (coffee shop & taco shop) and only 6 parking spaces. It's in a neighborhood so street parking was very tight. Sadly I won't return because the flies concern is a major no for me. read more

Still good food. But service is terrible. Rude, and they actually seem mad they have to service customers. Three staff members ignored me and the cashier yelled at me for telling her I was ignored and which line do I pick up. Too many good pizza places near us to undertake rude service. Really disappointed this place used to respect and appreciate my family. read more

Came for a quick bite and love their new york style pizza! Crust is thin crust and tomato sauce was delicious along with a great cheese pull! Only sad thing was I came during a lunch rush and they ran out of pizza by the slice so my options were limited. Still happy with their cheese pizza and will come back to try their other slices!
