It looks like I'm an outlier, but I was not terribly happy with this place. It's quite small inside, with limited seating, but has a bit more outdoor seating. You stand in line and look at the case of about 14 different pizza varieties, but none of it is labeled in the case or on the menu board, and the guy serving up the slices does not look approachable and of course you don't wanna hang up the line while asking what's in every variety. All of it looks like it's been sitting there for hours or days. Then you go to the next station to pay and you have to tell them on the honor system how many slices you got. That guy was looking at his phone the entire time I was paying. I got the barbecue chicken and it was reheated, par-baked, stiff, and a bit dry, with minimal cheese and extremely small pieces of chicken, and not much flavor. The other people in my party liked theirs. I live in Italy half time so I'm quite familiar with good pizza. I would not return.

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.

Perfect spot to grab a slice or a whole pie. Great location with delicious NY style pizza and a fun atmosphere. The outdoor patio has plenty of seating, a bar, and TVs to catch a game while you enjoy your meal. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends or watch the game over pizza and drinks.

Quick, relaxed spot near Torrey Pines to get a pre/post hike drink + bite. The service is speedy, friendly, and food is tasty! They have pizzas by the slice and price are good too.

After a nice walk at Torrey Pines we popped on over to Buonasera for a quick bite. We ordered a large salad and an eggplant parm pizza. My first bite and my feet were doing the yummy dance! It was so tasty! I'm not a huge sauce person but it just went to good together! If you're an eggplant parm person you just might enjoy the pizza as much as we did. Service was friendly and fast and the line went quickly. We sat outside since it was so beautiful outside and the weather was ideal with the sun shining on my skin. I want to keep this place a secret but sharing is caring! You're welcome!

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.

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

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.

I may have a new favorite pizza place, and this is it. I've eaten here twice in the past few weeks, and both times, the pizza, garlic knots, and service have been exceptional. The red veggie pizza is delicious!

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.

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.

I wasn't expecting much but we were starving and needed to grab a quick bite while waiting for coffee. The pizza by the slice is AMAZING. Got the chorizo with jalapeño and wow. The crust is perfectly thin without being too thin and the ingredients are well balanced. Ample seating inside and outside. Street parking and a small parking area in the back. Service is friendly.

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.
