This is my cousin's favorite pizza place in town. It was a decent east coast pizza. I found the sauce to be a little too much on the sweet side. Some people like sweet sauce so that might appeal to certain folks. My cousin and I had no problem eating the entire pie between the two of us. Buona cannot be compared to the greatness that is Umberto's of New Hyde Park. It is better than anything in the entire city of Cleveland, OH. read more

This is the first pizza parlor that all family members agree is the best tasting pizza in Westfield. Also the pricing is great! But the over one hour wait for delivery (when it is supposed to be 45-60 minutes) and bad phone manners, knocks down its rating. By the way, it's been over one hour 10 minutes and I am still waiting for my pizza. Pick it up instead! read more

Good pizza, really solid food. Family operated and great quality. They use extra pizza dough to make flat loaves of bread that are great for dipping in salad dressing. BYOB and right next to a shop rite wine and liquor with a really nice wine selection. read more

Best pizza every time. You will not be disappointed. But it's not just pizza, it's sandwiches, salads, calzones. Our go to place. These guys are the best!! read more

Although it's a neighborhood pizzeria I was knocked out by their pasta sauce of which I am very critical about since I make my own. This sauce was outstanding as was our pie . Even though it's a clingy clangy place it's usually busy and I've never been disappointed by either the food or the serving staff. The only negative I have is their salad is so so being I don't like ice berg lettuce other than that I always come back. I usually judge an Italian place by its Calamari and Bono is just pedestrian although it is cooked perfectly their are no tentacles pieces which means it's just warehouse calamari. Still I do recommend this place read more

Not sure why this place gets such great reviews. The pizza was flavorless. Better places in westfield to get pizza-casa Di pizza, Diana's etc. read more

Recently moved to Westfield and was devastated to find out my preferred pizza place wouldn't deliver to me anymore. As everyone knows, when you find that perfect pizza delivery spot, you hold on to it for dear life and never let it go! First contender on the list was Buona, which had generally positive reviews from my fellow Yelpers. First impressions were great...lots of toppings, looked like a good sauce ratio and a doughy crust. All positives in my book! But then I took a bite and....nothing. The explosion of flavor was nowhere to be found. I take another bite....still nothing! No zest or tang in the sauce, no heat or spice from pepperoni or sausage, just nothing. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't bad pizza, it just had no flavor. It probably is great pizza for a corporate office because it is perfectly inoffensive. For me though, it is "No Buona". PS - Fellow Yelpers that profess love for this pizza, I feel sorry for you. You are really missing out on some great pizza...follow me and I'll show you the way. read more

Good local pizza place, and very busy. If you go you should try their famous salad slice (I know, it sounds like a gimmick but it is truly awesome) go in the afternoon - they are sold out by 3pm. The whole wheat crust is worth a stop as well. Other meals i have tried: The chicken Parmesan is pan fried, which makes the meat tender and juicy. This is a rarity and more restaurants should prepare it this way. A BIG plus to this place is the nearby Shoprite Liquors which has a great selection of craft beer and great wine. The only downside: the decor is depressing and the layout is awkward. read more

My husband and I LOVE buona pizza! One of our favorite dishes is the pene vodka and garlic knots!! Oh so yummy! They're marinara sauce is our favorite in jersey! read more

We've been long time customers, because the pizza is good. But after this past weekend's dismissively rude service, I doubt we'll go back. They did not have any record of our having ordered a pizza, and were apparently "too busy" to take an order from a customer standing right in front of them. From the complete indifference of the man behind the counter, I doubt it matters one bit that you've lost a customer. Thank goodness Westfield has so many other good pizza places, where customer service matters. read more

I have always liked Buona Pizza. In addition to having a broad assortment of excellent Pizzas and quick service, they have a lovely informal dining room in the back, and a big menu of choices of Italian food including an out of this world Antipasto, and excellent Garlic Bread and various specialty dishes. The Waitress always aims to please, and they have a cold drinks display case you can pick about anything from. My favorite is their Mushroom (half) and Garlic (half) with extra cheese and ask for a Thick Crust if you like it that way, like me. No extra charge, or you can order a Sicilian. Pizza may be Pizza but Buona's is excellent and always has been. Never burned, never dry, never brittle. And, they deliver, too! Always a smile and also very low price, Buona Pizza is a winner! read more

We came by because M refused to go to panera bread or anywhere else so A could get the salad she was craving. So 10 minutes out of our way brought us here for a standard slice and a huge and good ceasar salad. $12 for both with 2 drinks. It's standard neighborhood pizza, so if you're not in the neighborhood no need to drive 10 min out of your way to get here. Got that M? read more

2:30 hours for delivery. Called 3 times to try to check on what the deal was and was hung up on all three times. Food finally arrived and was ice cold. Have ordered from this place many times in the past and never will again. read more

Haven't ordered from this spot in a long and decided to go for it because their salad pizza was always a favorite- DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Calamari was plentiful and delcious- asked for extra hot sauce and it was delivered! Salad pizza was as amazing as I remembered. Order was right. Food was delicious. Price was fair. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Really meh basic pizza in a town awash in good pizza places. Really nothing special. Don't know why others suggested it to me.

I have had pizza from here so often...my parents order all the time. I was never disappointed ...then I ordered not once, but twice and both times I believe it was the same person, and they were extremely rude. I had asked for lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the side instead of on my sandwich, as well as oil and vinegar. The response from the man taking my order was as if I was trying to order Chinese food. Told me that it would be ok if he put it on the sandwich but could not put it on the side. It was to the point I was just going to cancel my order, I had to explain why I didn't want it on the hot Sandwich and he finally obliged. Plus I also got double charged lol. I know that's an honest accident...but the icing on the cake. Sticking to Mamas they are the best, to bad they are closed Monday's . read more

Absolutely the best pizza that we've had in the area. Everything is always fresh and the place is CLEAN. Great pizza and chicken marsala is also very tasty. Great staff, very friendly & curbside pickup is very convenient. read more

As a man who eats on average 2 pies a week, this is my favorite pizza around. Margarita pie is typically my go to pie. Slightly expensive but well worth it. Fresh ingredients and fast delivery. read more

I've had their dinners and also their pizza on several occasions, and I am not impressed. I only come here because a friend likes it. I'll suggest we go elsewhere - anywhere! - in the future. About the only things I liked were the thin crust on the pizza and the bread they serve with dinner. The tomato sauce is watery and tastes like it came right out of a can, the chicken parm slices extremely thin, dry and commercial tasting. The waitress was snippy and seemed overwhelmed on a night when there weren't many other people dining. I don't consider myself a demanding consumer but perhaps I'm just spoiled by my local Italian fare in Middlesex County. read more

Good pizza but waited a long time for my 2 pizzas to be ready. I called it in for pick up and when I arrived 20 minutes later, they were just working on them. They told me it'd be ready in 20 minutes too.This was before noon on a weekday, there was only one table dining there and the phone wasn't ringing off the hook as I stood there waiting for 15-20 minutes. read more

I usually never leave reviews but the pizza is the best in north jersey ! Tonite I didn't feel so well so along with a pie for my husband I ordered the pasta faigioli and usually I'm disappointed. Not tonite ! This is the best since my grandma was alive to make it ! Truly is amazing! So happy with this place ! Can't wait to try more things off the menu ! read more

You can get pizza anywhere. You can get it delivered by the cardboard box people. You can stop by your nearest neighborhood pizzeria. Or you can get it frozen at the supermarket (ice crystals optional). It's probably all passable. Some crust. Some sauce. And some grated (usually way too much) cheese to cover up the overall mediocrity. Go ahead, toss on a couple of toppings in an attempt to make things interesting... or, at the very least, palatable. When you've had enough of barely edible or just plain boring pizza and if you're within driving distance of Westfield, New Jersey - and by driving distance, we mean within two hours. What? WE drive three hours for lobster roll - YOU can travel a bit for outstanding pizza, can't you? Anyway, get in the car or hop on a train because we've found the perfect Jersey pie at Buona Pizza. The dough base is a harmonious blend of softness under the sauce and cheese and the right amount of crunch at the crust. And the sauce... oh that sauce. We suspect someone's Nonna from the Old Country is in the back, stirring all day. Ask for a cup of sauce on the side for dipping prior to each delightful bite. And Buona isn't just pizza... they have a full traditional Italian cuisine menu (Nonna is busy) and the smells coming from the kitchen are downright intoxicating. We often plan to sample fare other than their pizza when we go, but the pizza is sitting right there as you walk in the door, and once we see it and smell it, we gotta have it. Maybe next time we'll be strong... and get the pizza to-go for later. Well? Are you drooling yet? You should be - and the only cure for perfect pizza cravings is at Buona Pizza on South Avenue in Westfield. Buon appetito!

I found a medium length grey/ white hair on top of my pizza today . Pizza isnt bad but wish they would wear hairnets or be more careful

Caused us a major inconvenience. Yelp says they're open till 11:30. Hours don't match actual times. No dinner for Us tonight.

something changed i can't explain it things aren't the same anymore basically everything was exponentially worse than ever read more

Pretty good pizza, I would say the best in Westfield with Sorrentos coming in at at a close second. I'd say the sauce is a bit sweet/tangy which I like. I always ask them to do a thinner crust. This is pretty much a take out place as the inside is run down and just a bit dark/unwelcoming, but thats OK because I usually take my pizza home with me to stuff my face like an absolute behemoth in the comfort of my own home. It tends to be embarrassing watching people stare at you while you house a large pie to the face all alone in a restaurant establishment. Anyways, go try Buona, its enjoyable, but definitely not NY pizza. read more

Waaaay beyond good neighborhood pizza. I am from Brooklyn, work in Manhattan and live in Jersey City and when I want a really good pizza I travel 25 minutes west - bypassing thousands of pizzeria's that resemble Buona in every way except the food. That may sound a bit crazy, but I am a pizza snob, have tried pizza in a number of towns, states and countries - including Italy - and have NEVER had better pizza. I dare you to find better. Salad is awesome too, but the pizza rocks the house! read more

Ive ordered from here many times at lunch. Sandwiches are well worth the price for the lunch special from 11am to 3pm. You get a sandwich and soda for $4.27, Nice!!! read more

1st time trying this place as I've been trying all different places in the general area & after several disappointments I'm happy to say this is one of the 2 best so far. Had delivery of plain pie(best way to tell how good a pie is to get plain)--quoted 45 mins arrived in 30. Asked for thin crust was done perfectly(crust no thicker than the cheese & not thick near the ends like most places), golden brown(the way i like it). Sauce pretty plentiful(could taste it every bite) & tasty with a bit of oil. Good amount of spices though I still added some garlic powder & red pepper flakes(personal choice). Also got an eggplant parm sandwich which was very moist & juicy. Eggplant was fresh not the factory produced "Dominex" kind. Only complaint was cheese was only in a couple of bites next time I order I will mention & if it's corrected I'll upgrade my review to 5 stars. read more

We recently ordered 3 sandwiches on a Sunday, 2 of which were cheesesteaks. These 2 sandwiches were sub-par and thats putting it mildly. They were very dry and had very little cheese. The lack of cheese helped with the dryness. They were so bad that most of these 2 sandwiches ended up in the garbage. The third sandwich, a sausage and peppers sandwich was very good. We have ordered food from Buona's many times before without any issue, so maybe it had something to do with it being a Sunday, i.e., different staffers, etc. I probably will order from them again....maybe not. read more

Very solid NYC-style pizza. A large pepperoni pie will run you about $16. My only peeve is that the bottom crust doesn't have the distinct crispiness that for some reason one will only find in NYC. Delivery to Cranford is about 40 minutes but I opt for pick up whenever I can. read more

Usually have no problem with them and the food is decent. Ordered take out and was told 45 minutes. There was a rain storm and food was taking over and hour and 15 minutes, so called to see where the food was and woman was extremely rude while i was trying to be nice since i am in the business as well. She hung up on me while i was saying "its ok, just checking." I understand things happen but unacceptable to hang up on someone especially if they are being nice about it. read more

They have some of the best pizza in westfield. However, they also have the worst chicken wings i've eaten in my entire life. Do not ever order the wings they are fake cheap wings and absolutely disgusting. read more

First time and last time ordering. I ordered on line for 7:00 delivery. Delivery arrived 15 minutes late which I understand on a busy night. Order missing salad so I called, waited on hold for 10 minutes to explain what happened. Put on hold again and then same person told me I can get a food credit. I requested my money be returned on my credit card. Put on hold again. Obnoxious lady yelled at me saying "what's wrong with a credit...you're never coming back? Wow. Why is it difficult to just return my $6? An apology for forgetting the salad and my money returned in the way I paid is appropriate. I don't even care how the food tastes. Nasty people treating customers that way don't deserve my business. read more

I really like Buona Pizza. They're always friendly on the phone and delivery is quick! They've become my go-to delivery place.

This is a great slice of NY style pizza. Great service, friendly staff, and above average thin crust pizza....no hype...no gimmicks...just good ol' fashioned pie... read more

Highly recommend. Our family has been coming here for years and you can't beat the great service and great food

Buona has been around for many years and remains one of the busiest pizzerias I have ever eaten at and ordered delivery from. The food is good, the selections are excellent, and their repeated competition wins in the town of Westfield speak for themselves. The place is clean, the service is fast, and nothing is overpriced. I will always be a Buona Pizza fan at least as long as Rocky and Vinny are at the helm. They really know how to run a successful pizzeria through good service, and treat customers like family. read more

Craving authentic NY/NJ pizza while visiting family. Good crust. Nice tangy sauce. Veggie pizza was very good but the crust could not handle the toppings. Friendly, fast service. read more
