First time ordering after a few friends recommended. I had a delivery. The food was absolutely fantastic and very timely. I will definitely advise to order or eat in read more

Horrible experience. When you call, there is too background noise and the person had to repeat the order over and over. Order was not ready and staff had to ask us what we ordered as they lost our order. Instead of apologizing they told us not to come back when I addressed it. They blamed it on the 4th of July, but it's July 2nd. Extremrly rude and sassy employees as they yelled at me. My daughter was with me and experienced the entire situation. read more

Buona Pizza - Salad Pizza with Romaine Lettuce definitely impressed my visiting guest. - Pizza Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

I've been ordering from this restaurant for 20+ years and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent. As with any Italian restaurant serving pizza they have peak hours, so yes, service may be slow at those times so proper planning on the customer is needed. They are one of the few restaurants in town who hires their own delivery people as opposed to using outside services. read more

They have the best chicken soup in the area. Fresh with real carrots celery & chicken. Their delivery guy is the best too. Love this place great prices. read more

Buona Pizza - Chicken Soup the best in the area. - Pizza Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Damn, a lot of people here really had some bad experiences. Maybe it was an off day, but I didn't get yelled at. The pizza was one of the best I've had in the neighborhood. I'll probably need to come back again and see if that changes but the pizza was def good. Better than most places. read more

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. read more

Buona Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

A longtime staple in the Westfield area, a mom and pop restaurant that has a comfortable feel and where the staff cares about the food and people they serve. Casual spot with a modest area to dine in, this is mostly a take out or delivery type of pizzeria. The Pizza is consistently good, a nice thicker sauce on the pizzas full of flavor. The dough is fresh and has a good chew. Quality cheese as expected. Dinners are a nice portion and the sauces are well made. They may be a tad pricey on their items but not horrible and (I feel) worth the money. read more

TLDR: Great, SMALL location for thin crust, crispy pizza. Perfect for taking home. Great, family-owned pizza place. The slices are crispy and thin crust. Service is great. It's a small location, however. read more

Excellent pizza!!! Round thick crust is outstanding. Must have a few slices every week. Great staff that provides excellent service and never disappoints! read more

Came upon Buono Puzza quite accidentallty & very pleased i did. Their thin crust pizza is perfect & best we have had in a long time. Will definitely go there (or order) in future. read more

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

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. read more

Buona Pizza - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Buona has that personal touch you look for in a pizzeria. The staff are always friendly and it takes all of two visits for them to recognize you as a regular. Like any good small business, they love to get involved in the community occasionally catering for some of the local youth sports teams. As a resident of Westfield for the last quarter century I can confidently say that Buona has been a welcome staple for my family and friends and will continue to be. The pizza speaks for itself. It's long been a popular spot for the Union County crowd with good reason. If you're reading this then you're in the right place, any local will point you here. If you visit or order on a holiday make sure to tip well, they work their tails off on Super Bowl Sunday and other big days to deliver for their patrons. Johnny and the rest of the team are never shy to put customers first! Here's to many more Pizza Fridays with the Buona crew! Keep up the good work all! read more

Worker yelled at us to order faster when there was no one else on line. The pizza was fine at best

Awesome sauce! ordered on a Friday night for pick up large pie with meatball. I didn't find the sauce too sweet as recent reviewers mentioned. I'll be back. read more

Me and my family eat here every Friday night. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming. You can tell everyone that works there really loves it. read more

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. read more

We discovered Buono when we moved to Westfield 40 years ago. Always great pizza and we love love love their mussels.

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. read more

I was in the area for a client visit, and stopped by here for a couple of slices as it was lunch time. Buona serves above par pizza. The positives and there are a lot of them. First off, they are in a strip mall with ample parking. Upon entry, there are multiple specialty slices out on display, including chicken bacon ranch, meat lovers, grandma's and many more. If you walk through the display cases, there are multiple 2 and 4 person tables in the back. I ordered 2 pepperoni slices to enjoy and the helpful person working the counter asked if it was for here or to go, I mentioned for here and he directed me to the seating area in the back and said someone will bring my food to me table, which was a nice perk. I grabbed a 20-ounce diet coke from their soda fridge and went back to the seating area. Within 2 minutes, I had two slices of pepperoni pizza in front of me. There was a seasoning set on the table, and I first took a bite and decided to add garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes as it needed a little flavor boost. The slices never limp and always had a good chew to it. The crust was a little too crunchy for my liking, which is why this is a 4 instead of a 5-star rating. The other minor downer was the pizza was a little greasy. I did have to blot it with a few napkins. The entire bill was 10.50, and I will be back next time I am in town. Good job guys. read more

I've been eating at Buona for 22 years now (I'm 32 yo) and they have been consistently the ABSOLUTE BEST pizza in the area for at least that long. Once a week since I was 10, it's tradition. I've had all the other pizza spots in Westfield, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, and none of them are as good. Don't get me wrong, there's a few other places in Westfield that have quality pizza as well. There's actually a couple places I'll go to because I like their specialty pies. If you really want a traditional plain pizza that'll make you salivate on sight alone though, look no further. I've been dieting recently and for "cheat meal" my plan of action was to eat an entire pizza, it did not disappoint. It was like magic, magic I tell you! Anything below 4 star rating on here are either one of two options: 1: They are a Karen 2: They are a competitor using a fake profile P.S. Don't let the crusts not being eaten in my photos fool you. Their dough is the best! I just couldn't eat the whole pie by myself if I ate all the crusts. read more

Buona Pizza is hands down the best pizza my family and I ever had!! Recently we visited family in the area who recommend Buona Pizza. We were greeted once we walked in by a tall Italian man who was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the deep dish pizza and my daughter had the salad pizza. The pizza sauce was the best ever and was told is a family recipe. We cannot wait to come visit again soon. Unfortunately, they do not deliver to Chicago! read more

Their salad pizza is the best I've had. Dressing is great and it's just simple and delicious. Highly recommend. Only thing you need to remember to do is remind them to give you extra dressing. Trust me you'll want extra. read more

So first time there I had a half plain half pepperoni and the pizza was pretty standard, not anything that popped, but it wasn't bad by any means. Second visit I had had high expectations for salad pizza... but at the same time Im súper picky so I tried my best to also temper expectations as well.... Well let me say this salad pizza is prob top 5 of pizzas I've ever eaten and I've had some good pizzas growing up in jersey all my life and traveling all over the states as well. This salad pizza was insanity. And if I'm ever outta town for a period of time and come back to jersey it will be on my list of things to get once I'm immediately back in town! Love love love loved it!!!! excited to try rest of menu. But salad pizza is def my go to! read more

Every time I get pizza here it is good! No off days! Even put family members and friends on it and they love it!

Best pizza, and still has the old school pizzeria feel because of the family own business.

I am not one of those people who likes to argue about the merits of local pizzerias with the fervor of Giants fans arguing whether Eli Manning should remain at quarterback. The pizza here is good and fairly priced, but you will not come away raving about it. The interior is basic. Although I prefer Sonny G's or Fiamma among local pizza shops, Buona serves a good pizza and has lots of free parking. read more

Although their pizza are good. Customer service when calling to place an order is horrible. My son calls to place an order for pick up and when he requested a particular wrap the lady replied, "we do not have it, call back later." And she hung up. I was a faithful client and because of what she did, I will no longer give them my business or recommend them. Not star worthy. read more

What's with the plates at this place??. Every time we go there this one server always gives us a single paper plate for the salad. When we first requested a regular plate we were told "No, we're running low on plates". So no plates for us, then who? We shouldn't have put up with it all this time. It is just that one server at the place. Other times when she wasn't there we would be given a regular plate. So since plates have a low inventory as frequent paying customers we are not entitled to eat our salad on a regular plate versus a soggy paper plate!, This is truly unbelievable as this past visit she gave us the paper plates again. A soggy mess resorting to eat out of the salad bowl. But wait there were other patrons who did get a real plate, Does she charge extra for the real plates? wow what is with the discrimination and what is her problem?? Maybe she doesn't like to load the dishwasher, maybe that's it. read more

We have gone to Buona Pizza many times before but never had an experience like today. We ordered 2 grandma slices and when we got home they were burnt and inedible. I was starving so I tried to eat around the burnt parts but it was horrible. I've attached the picture to show how bad it was. read more

Buona Pizza - Grandma Slice - Pizza Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Growing up in Queens and Brooklyn, you get used to a particular format of pizza joint. You go in, there's generally a glass case of some sort showing you different pies, you pick a slice and you're off to the races. In New Jersey however, you have places like this but other places that are more like a Domino's. Whenever I find a more "old skool" pizza place, I always make it a point to try their slice. Buona pizza is located in a strip mall that includes other stores like a Shop Rite liquor market, Harmonn's and a sushi restaurant. It's not a bad place to get some shopping and snacking done, so it has that going for it. When you enter you're greeted with the aforementioned pies and a counter. To get to the seating area you have to go through an old swinging door that comes up to about your waist. Odd, but it does separate one part from the other. I had a regular cheese slice and I thought it was good. It wasn't anything mind blowing, but for a quick bite it would do. The staff was okay and my slice came out fast. I do intend to go back to try some of their other slices one day. read more

Their regular cheese pie fresh out of the oven is awesome. Every time we get one we immediately start tearing into it before we get home. It's just delicious. read more

Ordered dinner from there tonight and everything was delicious (as always!). We love the wings and the subs. Today we also got baked ziti and chicken Marsala dinners. The Salad Pizza is the best you'll get in Westfield. Overall great value, food was ready on time, and everyone loves each and every one of their meals. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Buona , pizza I've been coming for a handful of years. Very solid pie. From a one to ten I give it a 7. All there food is solid. The price is right also. We have new owners and everything seems to be staying the same. Let's watch and see. read more

The pizza is absolutely delicious, but it will not save you from the waking nightmare your life has become. Feminists, communists, and globalists will continue to destroy everything you once held dear. Now, all that lies ahead is an eternal winter. Eat some fantastic pizza as your dreams crumble before your very eyes and turn to dust. I also recommend the calzones. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite before my hair appointment. The pizza was good I had the white pizza with broccoli and ordered garlic knots along with drinks. The food was good and the place was very clean and relaxing a bit pricey but I enjoyed the food. read more

Great pizza, fried calamari was wonderful too. We ordered online and was surprised to have to pay $2 for service. Food was good, love it

I live in Plainfield, but I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. So naturally I think all pizza in my area is garbage. And by and large it is garbage. We're talking swill pizza that would make a pizza lover turn to eating frozen pizza, Domino's fake pizza or just going without until you get to work Monday - Friday in the City, where you can hop a quick train ride down to Union Square to get a slice at Joe's Pizza. Which is my gold standard by the slice pizza. That said when I say pizza in my area, I usually mean Plainfield, Fanwood, Scotch Plains, Watchung, North Plainfield. Pizza by and large in these towns are pathetic. If I kicked out the geography, to Westfield, still, I would rather chew on a sweaty sport sock than eat NJ pizza. As most suburban pizza falls short of traditional NYC by the slice pizza that has some semblance to the original forefather's of pizza. That is to say NYC pizza used to all taste like Grimaldi's, Totonno's, Patsy's Lombardi's, Arturo's, John's, Joe's and the list goes on. Then we have Buona Pizza who keeps it real. An honest to goodness real slice of NY pizza in NJ that is better than 85%-90% of all the pizzerias in NYC . I know. I'm rambling. And not really talking about Buona Pizza. That's because hands down it's the best pizza within 5 miles of where I live and much of NYC. If that isn't an endorsement than I don't know what it is. The sauce is tomatoey, a little sweet with a nice touch of acid and the cheese looks as if its a nice combination of mozzerallas rather than all skim milk mozzarella which makes the cheese tastes like cardboard. If you live close by this is the place to go for pizza. read more
