We love it here- patio is great to watch the game or just bring the dog and hang. I usually have the pizza deal $4 a slice, but today splurged for the Italian sandwich- $13- it is a totally sleeper item on menu... Amazing and one of the best. Staff said the meatball sub is even better! It's also big enough for two to share. read more

Buonasera - Italian Hero - Pizza Near Me - Del Mar, California

On my way to San Diego I was craving some pizza so I stopped by. I've been wanting to come here, and I was not disappointed. I got one of their specials you could get a beer with a couple of slices of pizza. Pizza was good crust was amazing. There is indoor and outdoor sitting. And a bar right in front. Once you order your pizza, you go to the bartender and pick up your beer. I sat in the bar and I had a nice view. Service was great. They're pretty fast. Can't wait to come back. read more

Saw this place on my way to Torrey Pines off Carmel Valley Rd. When returning to the hotel, I made a pit stop and was glad I did. I got the Margherita pizza, which is simple and classic. Although, the display case was full of other delicious choices. They take your chosen slice and pops it back in the oven to warm up. The pizza is thin (which I prefer) and you can smell the basil after having been warmed up. The crust has just enough char as it was still pliable and can be folded in half. I paired it with a glass of Chardonnay at the bar. The ambiance was perfect, with the cool breeze and the sun setting in the background. read more

Buonasera in Del Mar is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk up, the place gives off a clean, open, and inviting vibe. It's casual but polished, exactly what you'd want from a coastal pizzeria within walking distance of Torrey Pines State Beach. Inside, everything is neat and modern, with plenty of natural light. Outside, there's a relaxed patio area with a bar, perfect for soaking in the sunshine. Whether you're coming in sandy from the beach or dressed up for sunset drinks, you'll feel welcome. I ordered a New York-style slice, and I was blown away. It's seriously one of the best NY slices I've had in San Diego, especially for only $4. Thin, crisp crust, quality cheese, balanced sauce, and just the right amount of grease (you know what I mean). You can grab pizza by the slice or a full pie, which makes it super convenient whether you're solo or with a group. The employee who helped me was fast, respectful, and genuinely kind, no over-the-top upselling or slow service, just smooth, professional hospitality that made the experience even better. read more

Great place for a slice and to hang out after a hike or to watch a gorgeous San Diego sunset!

After a hike at Torrey Pines Reserve, a group of us stopped by Buonasera Pizza to refuel--and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Spinach and Ricotta along with a Pepperoni and Sausage pizza. The crust? Spot on, crispy yet chewy, just what we needed after a long day on the trails. The Spinach and Ricotta was light and flavorful, while the Pepperoni and Sausage hit all the right savory notes. What really made the experience even better was the view. With a spacious indoor and outdoor seating area, we were able to kick back and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. Great food and a great place to unwind after a hike! read more

Good food and view. Staff is friendly and effective. Good variety of beers and wine. Will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed this casual pizza eatery! It was late and we were looking for a place to grab a bite on Saturday night. They had a big screen TV inside with the game on and a large patio bar outdoors. The interior is small with counter service, very quick and efficient. Pizza was good, around $4 a slice and the garlic knots (more like rolls) at $1.50 each were delicious. read more

Let me start off by saying the food is good, that is not at all my complaints. We got the 3 slice and drink deal, plus a salad and a pasta Alfredo. The pasta was spaghetti noodles vs Alfredo noodles but I let that slide since the sauce was good. The pizza was also good, the salad was probably my favorite since it was so fresh. My complaint mainly is the flies, the place is infested inside and outside, we sat inside thinking it would be best but it was a struggle to eat with a whole bunch of flies, about 20 of them just were we were at. I had to cut it short and finish the rest at home, parking can also be a struggle as there is other shops (coffee shop & taco shop) and only 6 parking spaces. It's in a neighborhood so street parking was very tight. Sadly I won't return because the flies concern is a major no for me. read more

This place kills it with the pizza--tons of slice options and every one I've tried has been awesome. Fluffy & crunchy crust, just how it should be. Great place to watch sports inside or watch the sunset and the patio bar and still catch the game. Employees are always very friendly and polite and have given me some really good suggestions on stuff to try The beer selection is ample, especially if you like trying local brews. And do not skip out on the garlic knots with marinara! seriously, they're a must every single time read more

Perfectly fine but definitely nothing special. Parking is a major hassle. The pizza was very average. The large house salad was plenty for two and well priced. The guy who took our order was a bit curt. There are so many better pizza places in San diego. I wouldn't bother going here. The mexican place next door is far better. read more

Came for a quick bite and love their new york style pizza! Crust is thin crust and tomato sauce was delicious along with a great cheese pull! Only sad thing was I came during a lunch rush and they ran out of pizza by the slice so my options were limited. Still happy with their cheese pizza and will come back to try their other slices! They have outdoor seating with a great view and also indoor seating with a large tv for any big games. read more

Find little spot outdoors to stop off after a hike or walk. Pizza was good, had rosé. Only beer and wine pretty much. Service was lacking. Bartender not very friendly. Just a pizza joint I suppose. Paper plates, foil containers, pretty much it. But Location and view made up for it. read more

This spot has my new favorite pizza in the U.S., which is the Crime Scene (left in the photo, white sauce). The Meat Lovers (right, red sauce) was decent; however, the Crime Scene's ricotta absolutely had me stunned and wanting more each bite. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the pasta as it lacked any sort of flavor in both the bolognese and the alfredo, but I will simply come here for their pizzas. The pizza alone would have easily been five stars, but the pasta made me settle on 4 overall due to the price of it and its worth. read more

Need a casual place for a gathering that is good for families/kids, this is your spot - With pizzas by the slice, it's convenient and easy. Service from the pizza guy heating up the slices was friendly and nice. But everything was just ok. Pizza looked like it had sat in the case for awhile but was looking forward to a nice melted cheese (you know, the kind that keeps stretching when you take a bite), and was disappointed with just a mediocre heat. If you go, would recommend ordering a new/fresh full pizza, but be prepared to wait for it. Pasta bolognese was nice to have some other options besides pizza, but wish it was more saucy and covered the spaghetti better. Chicken salad was nice and fresh. Was just more hopeful for the pizza. Parking was limited but we came at a time that wasn't super busy. Also, one communal bathroom outside in the hallway. All in all, have had better NY pizzas elsewhere but appreciated the convenience and ease of finding a place for our group. read more

Great food and friendly service. Easy to order at the counter and they had several vegetarian pizza slice options!

So good! Stumbled across this joint when getting coffee next door. The pizza is perfect and lots of choices! It was all good. I usually get the slice but plan to get a full size next time. Staff is always helpful. Great gem in the area! read more

Awesome pizza and large salads. With a couple of Garlic Knots; you will be more than full. Had the Drink Slice and Salad combo. Really cool atmosphere. New York style pizza and with the "wittiness" of the upbeat staff and quick service, it feels like NY in southern California. read more

This spot is very close to the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve! After hiking there, you can stop by here to get some delicious pizza and great views. I ordered the two slices of pizza, a drink, and a garlic knot. The garlic knot was decent. I was hoping for more of a garlicky flavor. The meat lovers slice was great. I also enjoyed the spice from the jalapeño pepperoni slice. The pizza has a solid crust and great flavor. I would definitely come back here to get some pizza after a nice beach day or hike! read more

I don't know what to say. Last time I ordered from here to go when we went to pick up our order the pizza box was sitting in the warming oven empty. OK mistakes happen and we had to sit around for 25 minutes while they made us another pizza. Today I go to pick up my order and they said the delivery guy accidentally took our order of wings and they had to make our order of wings. What really made me upset was the way the handled it. Both times just a shrug and I had to sit around while they corrected their mistakes. No sincere apology no offer for a discount on a future order or an offer to take something off our current check. Just plain poor customer service. read more

This place offers some pretty good pizza. Next time, I need to try one of their sandwiches. I had the three slice special with a beverage for $12.50. I had a slice of the supreme, the crime scene, and the Miramar. All three slices were quite good, but my favorite was the crime scene with meatballs, ricotta, and dollops of house marinara sauce. the slices came on a very good crust. The crust was not only tasty but offered a slight crunchiness and a bit of chew. The red sauce on the supreme had a good balance between acidity and a touch of sweetness. They offer a lot of different pizza varieties and also make sandwiches, salads, pastas, and calzone & strombolis. Service is good. The place has a large patio and inside seating. They serve beer and wine. read more

Tried it a few times since they opened. Pizza is not too great and it was overheated so the crust was hard to chew. It was a little too dark on the patio at night, hard to find seating. Lots of loud kids also. read more

Food (5/5 stars): We spent the day at Torrey Pines and ended it with dinner nearby at Buonasera New York Pizzeria. Their pizza reminded me of Joe's Pizza in NY and Mamma's In South Pasadena! I loved the flavor of their sauce and the cheese-to-sauce ratio was on point. This definitely made my North County top 5 pizza spots! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: pretty reasonable * Wait Time: minimal for a party of 5 during dinner on a Tuesday * Service: good * Parking: street parking can be a little difficult * Ambiance: it's a nice, modern pizzeria read more

This has to be one of our favorite pizza places. If you like a good thin crust, this place is a must try. Pizzas are already made, you can pick whatever slices you want - buy by the slice or the pizza. Special requests are made to order, with gluten free as an option. We've tried most of their selection and everything was amazing, our favorite has to be the meat lovers. Bonus is the view. The restaurant sits overlooking the water front and at the right times, you can enjoy the sun set with your meal. There are plenty of outside seating to enjoy the weather. Parking is tough, mostly street parking but we never had an issue (purely by luck) every time we came. read more

Came here on a whim and such a great decision. Ordering to-go was painless and I got 2 slices of pizza and a water for $10!

I had a hard day so this was just what I needed/) read more

Still good food. But service is terrible. Rude, and they actually seem mad they have to service customers. Three staff members ignored me and the cashier yelled at me for telling her I was ignored and which line do I pick up. Too many good pizza places near us to undertake rude service. Really disappointed this place used to respect and appreciate my family. read more
