There are two kinds of NY Pizza: Bougie, wood- or coal-fired pizza that you find in trendy Brooklyn neighborhoods, and the $2 a slice joints that you can find throughout the city. Buono's does a good job of bringing that second style to Gilbert, and that's not a bad thing. Thin-ish crust, good cheese and not too much sauce (white pizza with sausage and spinach is ). Delivery is really hit and miss so I'd recommend dining in or picking it up yourself. read more

The service was fabulous, the staff was outstanding and friendly, and the food was amazing. Bonnie and Scott Pigusch read more

We tried this place last night after reading all of the positive reviews. We must've hit a bad night because our pizza was nothing more than average. It was delivered lukewarm via Door Dash, I know that's not the restaurants fault. However, the bottom was burnt, and only half the pizza was cut, it's like they just gave up on it! The pizza was cheese and sausage yet had no flavor at all. Too many other pizza places to buy from and try, I'll pass on this place. read more

The pizza was amazing! Crisp crust, so fresh tasting! Katie our server was fantastic. So friendly and gave us exceptional service. The place was very clean and cozy. Will definitely be back again! read more

I was looking for somewhere to take my kiddo for pizza and Buono's was rated the best pizza in the area, so I went here. Service was fine. I don't think they're used to children being there. The photos were misleading as to the type of space this was, so I felt awkward the whole time. It's very informal and divey, definitely can tell they have regulars most of the time. Overall was not bad but I personally didn't care for the food. Was my first and sadly last visit. read more

Our first time there. The food was amazing. Everything was so fresh and the owners were there working. A small dine in , few tables , and spotless. Service was great . I can not say enough good things about this place. Also the portions were huge. read more

Amazing pizza . Definitely worth the wait . We had the Napolitana extra large pizza and the works and wow. Oh and garlic knots. I'm in heaven read more

Service was friendly and fast, but the food was not very good. The garlic rolls that we ordered tasted like they had been frozen and then cooked -- didn't taste fresh at all. Then the pizza was really meh. Disappointing experience. Would not go back. read more

Excellent food from a fellow New Yorker! Stromboli and Pizza were fabulous, will definitely be back!

I haven't lived in Gilbert long enough to know if this is a hidden gem, or just one of the better places for pizza in the east valley, but I love this place. The pizza is great, the specials are amazing, and it's a family environment that is missing badly now a days. The fries are absolutely to die for. read more

I only tried pizza this time. While it wasn't my absolute favorite Neapolitan pizza in the Valley, it was solid. I'd go 3.5 stars if that was an option but bumping to 4 since it's not. Ingredients seemed fresh but the 'fresh mozzarella' on the Margarita wasn't the super soft kind. I noticed all of the pizzas say fresh mozzarella, so it seems they are referring to mozzarella that is fresh vs true fresh mozzarella. I also got a GOAT which was a bit overwhelming on the goat cheese for me. I found the crusts oddly perfect for Neapolitan pizza. Do they have a machine making these? I'd like to try the eggplant appetizer and different pizzas next time. read more

Fantabulous!!! DEVIL DOGS!! YODELS!! Are you kidding?? I'm in heaven! Hayley (sp?) and Ace could not have been nicer! Pizza was great! New York style! Woot woot! The Sicilian was GINORMOUS! We will be back!!! read more

Pretty let down by Buono's. Heard very good things. Went in and ordered some appetizers, they were not good at all. We decided not to order any pizza and went next door to Isabel's Amor to dine. Maybe it was an off day? Staff was nice but we were disappointed. I didn't mention Calamari in my review. What part of my review doesn't make sense. Appetizers were bad. Plain and simple. Thanks. read more

I recommend the Italian sausage sandwich, well done pizza and Italian salad. We have been there a few times and great quality every time

Best pizza in the Valley! Have tried different daily specials and every pizza gets better and better! Amazing staff and service. Absolute Gem to have close to home. Highly recommend. read more

Buono’s Pizza - Ricotta, Basil, Hot Honey, Premium Pepperoni. - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We stumbled upon this place while looking for another pizza place. We met the owner, found out a little history about Buono's and decided to go ahead and order some food to take home. We ordered a Stromboli the one with four meats and provolone cheese and a Calzone with meatballs cut up in it. The portions were large and there was plenty of filling in both. Good flavor and the dough was well done without being overdone. The interior is small and spartan but if you eat in the food is the real draw. Overall a fun experience and a good find. read more

Great food and service authentic New York style pizza, the best in the valley. Love their white pizza and barbecue chicken pizza so delicious. read more

If you're looking for a great NYC pizza look no further. Two times here the pizza is amazing and I know pizza I'm from NYC this is real NYC pizza JOINT anyplace you can find a great slice joint in AZ ( hardly any) the owner are fantastic and the staff of young ladies were outstanding. Move closer to Santan Valley I'll make this my favorite pizza joint. Great job to the staff. totally forget photos.., was too busy eating my regular slice and my Sicilian slice sorry. Btw this business is the cleanest place I have seen in a long time. So stop by and say hello to Jimmy and Shelly they are the owners and Reese is the waitress. read more

This was the first order at Buono's and I choose them from a list of top 10 pizza's places in Mesa . I ordered a large 4 item pizza with medium crust and told them it was a takeout and they told me it would be ready in 30 mins. I arrived, noticed that it was a cozy little place to dine in, they had the football game going and the people that were their seemed happy enough. I walked up to the cash register and waited to pay for my order and get my pizza. I was the first one in line and a line was forming behind me but they had 1 person doing everything upfront and it took a while to get service so 20 minutes later I carried out my large pizza in a nice white box and headed home. Three of us dished up when I arrived. None of us were overwhelmed with satisfaction. The crust was burnt but the slice still had to be held with 2 hands to get it to your mouth and was tough to bite into due to the crust. The toppings were mediocre at best and the taste was sadly unpleasant. We 3 who just spent 30$ for a large pizza each had 1 piece except for 1 extremely hungry boy and he had 2 and the rest found there way to the trash for Monday Pickup. My take is that you can't believe top10 ten lists & You have to catch & cook a lot of frogs before you get decent frog legs to eat. I did get 1 pizza slice magnet. After you collect 8 you get a free pizza. Anyone want mine? read more

Came in with a group of 10 so we waited a long time but honestly I thought this pizza was worth the wait. Our table bought a meat, margharita, and white pizza. We also got a sauceless pineapple pizza. It was nice they could accommodate for us and make the sauceless one. I only tried the meat and margherita, both were good but I liked the meat one more. Great place! read more

Great pizza. New York style. Staff is awesome. They go above and beyond. Tried the fried mushrooms and thin pizza. Excellent

One of the best experiences I have personally ever had in a restaurant! Katie was extremely kind and helpful, and Enrique was in the back slinging out some of the best pizza I've tried! Will definitely be spending many more lunches here read more

Buono’s Pizza - BBQ Chicken slice, grandma pie slice, specialty slice - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I've been hearing about Buono's for years, and as a New Yorker for 23 years, I have been suspicious and shrugging them off, but I tried it today and I wholeheartedly approve! I tried the cheese slice, the Sicilian slice, and the black and white cookie, shipped from a bakery in Queens, where I am from! Let me tell you, every bite tasted so right. I felt like I was back home. The Sicilian was so fresh and puffy, and the cheese slice folded like pizza is supposed to. The Queens and Manhattan decor on the walls doesn't hurt, either! Thanks, Shelly and Jimmy, for running this authentic spot! read more

Stopped in here before heading over to fox. The pizza is good, but the garlic bread is where it is at. So good! Its enough to share, but you may not want to. The staff were very caring and accommodating. If you are ever headed to fox, stop here first. No sense in getting a cigar and also being hungry. Not worth the risk. Just come here instead. read more

First time eating here. Rob was awesome. Helpful, friendly and attentive without over doing it. All of us had different dishes. The Penne ,ravioli and meatballs ricotta were outstanding. My calzone was the best I've had. The marinara is out of this world. Enjoy!!! read more

What started as two slices to go, turned into a super fun 1 hour lunch inside with our two kiddos. Katie was so sweet and the service was great! The whole staff was kind and friendly. They even surprised us with a little treat. 10/10 can't wait to make this our regular spot! The pizza was so good, just the right amount of crunch to the crust. Their white pizza has to be my favorite. Thank you Katie and Rob! read more

It really is NY pizza! I love the food at the Williams Field Rd location. I've eaten here several times and it's always great. (But I did not like the food or the service at the other location.) read more

Went again on Friday for lunch and as always I felt like I was walking in to a pizza spot at home in NY/NJ, owner is always greeting us friendly and thanks us for stoping in, old school, has amazing food and desserts as well as bomb pizza, as a NYer Buono's is one of the best in the Valley, they do it all properly. Super food and super people ! read more

We went for lunch today. The pizza is the closest to New York pizza that we have had in Arizona. It was delicious! Also the people are so friendly. I mean the people who work there as well as the customers having lunch. Pamela gave us a piece of crumb cake from New Jersey that was absolutely scrumptious. What a great experience. We can't wait to go back! read more

Love their pizza. One of the closest things to what I used to eat when I lived on Long Island.

I moved to AZ 2 years ago from NY and this is the only pizza I'll get here in AZ. Nothing else is even comparable. I love the atmosphere of a NY style subway and the people are always so friendly. My husband and I usually split a large pie with mushroom and pepperoni, mozzarella sticks and I'll always get a slice of white to go to eat for lunch the next day. I will forever go here for pizza! read more

The best white pizza I've ever had!!!!! the staff is so friendly, it's like you're eating at a friends house. our go to place every time!!!

I love this place. Food is really good. I love the philli cheesesteak and the fried ravioli, also the meatball sliders are 10stars. Pizza is really good here too. My to go place. Thank you, Buono's Pizza. read more

Ordered delivery, and we were not disappointed! We ordered the vegetarian and a gluten-free crust with jalapeños and pepperoni with fried mushrooms app. Now getting delivery is by far not the same as dining in, but we did enjoy our pizzas - just popped em in the oven when we were ready to eat! Will definitely try dining in next time but take out was just as good! read more

Amazing service and fantastic food! Kayty was wonderful, and we'll definitely be back!

Everything went well. Pro Jimmy and his lovely fiancé and her mom go out of their way to make sure your order is perfect and you get it served in a reasonable amount if time. You can't go wrong there. The food is just great! read more

Pizza was amazing, and the owners were super friendly. They even gave us a free dessert! Definitely recommend Buono's.
