    Personal pizza
    Rebecca S.

    Always on the search for a good happy hour and Buono's delivered! See my photo for happy hour menu and hours. Stopped by with my daughter around 5pm. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside, and the patio was empty, which I appreciate with a noisy little girl! We ordered pizza, mozzarella sticks and garlic parm fries. I also got a beer, all of this was $30 with the happy hour, amazing! My favorite was the mozzarella sticks, great breading. The pizza was good too but a little too much fluffy dough for my liking, but some may prefer this so I'll mention it! The garlic parm fries were good but not the best I've had. They gave us a complimentary bruschetta too, so kind! Their sauce portions were great, I'm a sauce lover so I appreciate this. They also did not charge me for ranch! Another win for Buonos! Service was good, it seems you can order and sit or they will wait on you as another option. They have high chairs for the kiddos too! We will be back!

    Hot buffet items

    Food is solid...but not something I'd go out of my way for. I live close so it's convenient. I would recommend their pizzas here. They have pasta as well that are decent. They have a good daily happy hour 3-6pm with offerings from 5-8 dollars, along with a Wednesday-Friday lunch buffet from 11-2 that is about $15. The buffet is good if you're really hungry or just trying to eat a variety of things. They had pepperoni pizza, fries/wedges, meatballs, a soup, 3 pastas (marinara w penne, bacon mushroom creamy rigatoni, chicken broccoli alfredo), garlic knots and a salad bar when I went. Everything was decent... I prob wouldn't go again for the buffet as I only cared for one pasta (mushroom one)... the pizza was decent and of course the salad bar is always good. The pastas got soggy over time so I would recommend getting there closer to 11am if you want the buffet. They also have a lunch special that I would prob opt for instead... not sure the price but most likely less than the buffet. A slice of cheese pizza, a trip to the salad bar and a drink. M-F 11-2

    Wow, what an amazing pizza‼ Story time: Moms and I are staying the night in San Pedro. We were feeling pizza for dinner. Came across this wonderful Gem. Pizza is FRESH AF, I don't even like marinara based pizzas. Yes, ranch or garlic on mines please... Anywho's this pizza was fire. If you sleep on them, you're hella different and might wanna get your mental checked. With love, Issa_diva aka Michelle

    This was just half the area we had for our group

    Perfect spot for a group we were 20 people celebrating our Sailing team victory. I spoke with the manager in advance Joey and he went out of his way to plan my menu and customize it for just what we needed. We had 12 adults 11 teenagers and we wanted to make sure we had the right combination of food and we didn't have that much time that we were going to be there so was working with Joey. He planned to shut down their typical buffet and turned it into a private buffet just for us we customized a red sauce spaghetti a white sauce, fettuccine garlic knots we substituted a third pasta for the meat lasagna and then we ordered Margarita pizza, cheese, pizza, and pepperoni pizza. We topped the meal off with lemon cello gelato, chocolate chip gelato and hazelnut gelato. It was a big hit I booked the reservation. I took care of giving them the credit card in advance. I ordered a couple Caesar salad salads for the tables so when we arrive, people could immediately start eating and then help themselves to the food that was piping hot and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch in particular with Joey. Our weight staff was kind but left us alone so we had the ability to talk amongst our ourselves. The restaurant was busy, but we were still kept to one section so it felt very private. I highly recommend it. The food was great. We will make sure every time we come back to this area from San Diego to San pedro we will stop and make this where we have all team dinners well done.

    Not sure what was better; the pizza, or the service. Both get an A+ in my book. If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely coming back.

    Personal pizza & Buffalo Wings
    Angelina H.

    Just ate lunch here after not having it for a while & honestly it didn't disappoint! The pizza is solid & the wings were actually decent! Our server Mia was very sweet & attentive to us which I always appreciate! My only issue was with the salad bar, it's usually all really good but my party and I just noticed that maybe some of the toppings weren't super fresh, but other than that we really enjoyed our meal & experience. I'd say if you're ever in the downtown San Pedro area it's worth trying it & stopping in for a bite!

    I like leftovers! Pepperoni slice, mozzarella stick, and roast beef sammie from happy hour
    Lilah J.

    Ahh, molto buono! (Very good!) This review is based on being a fortunate recipient of leftovers on separate occasions. Months ago, my hubby brought home the Buono's Special which was one of extra pizzas his work event had. The Special lives up to its name- pepperoni, sausage, ham, salami, mushrooms, olives, green peppers, and sweet onion. A solid, tasty pizza! I did not write a review at the time since it was just my first time having their pizza. The hubby had another event which was happy hour. He brought me back some goodies-- pepperoni slice, small roast beef and cheese sandwich, and a mozzarella stick. My favorite of the 3 is the mozzarella stick. Just perfect. Other items are A-OK. I also have a cheese slice that I have not tried yet. Would love to check Buono's out in person one of these days. I have heard so many good things about them. They also have 2 locations in Long Beach in addition to this one. For now, 4 stars for the limited experiences I've had. Again, molto buono!

We got our food promptly and headed home. The location was clean and inviting! When we finally were able to get into the food, we were not disappointed! The portions were generous and the flavors great! Especially for the prices! We got a side Caesar, which is large enough for two to share as a starter, a kid's penne with marinara and chicken, and two chicken pesto paninis. I forgot to order mine without tomatoes, but they were easy enough to take off, and I don't mind the residual flavor in this kind of sandwich. The chicken was generous in all three dishes, and had nice flavor! The marinara was just that, marinara, but a still was decent for "fast food." Also, their Caesar dressing is more of a vinaigrette than a traditional thicker Caesar dressing, nice and light and super flavorful! All in all, this was a great experience! Looking forward to trying their pepperoni, it is the kind where the edges curl up and they become the little cups of crunchy oily goodness! Try this place out! Just remember they close at 8 every day but Fridays and Saturdays!

    Best italian food in San Pedro! We were in town for a work conference and made last minute…read morereservations for Wednesday at 6pm. We got right in after finding cheap parking across the street. For food, I got a modified dish (gnoochi with Alfredo) and a salad with ranch. My teammates got all different types of food and they all loved it. They got the house dressing in their salad and we all agreed that this salad was abnormally delicious. The free bruschetta they give and marinated veggies was such a nice treat in the beginning. The cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive too. We were so delighted with this place and as we were wrapping up, they bring ice cream to our table. Wowza! Highly recommend going if you're in San Pedro

I have taken my mom there several times (and as would have told you, she was a "foodie). Every time we've gone there, the food has been great and the servers really nice. This last week however, my family have been there twice, having booked them for two funeral repasts. Needless to say, it's been a tough week. But Gino and Raffaelo have been really great helping us through everything, and making it streamlined. We got the first option for their banquet menu: two kinds of pasta, chicken marsala, peppers and Calamari. It was especially nice to not have to worry at all of any details. The rooms that we used were ample and could fit a lot of people, and the bar was well stocked. It just made a tough time easier. We had been there for another funeral reception in February of 2025, when my stepfather passed away. Aside from being a great place, I just want to highlight how absolutely gracious they were at every turn. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.

Friday was tuna and I wasn't really craving a meatball sandwich so I got the daily specials it's $13 for a small sandwich a small bag of chips and a can of soda. The small sandwich is actually a good size. I've also had their pizzas. The pies and slices are pretty big. They put a lot of cheese on them so if you like cheese, come here! I ate half a slice of two different joints and I was stuffed! The customer service is usually pretty friendly so I can't complain. I'll probably come back for their daily specials. Mondays are meatball so I might come back in a Monday.
