    Barbecue chicken ranch slice of pepperoni and sliced the white pie
    Sabrina M.

    Haven't been able to stop in in a few months. Always great. They had lots of double dog products in stock.

    Pizza I think is the best in Gilbert. Not to greasy and crispy crust. This is a must try

    12" Gluten-Free Pizza
    Michelle D.

    This is a very authentic NY spot. It's a an homage to everything NY. The decor, the food, they have a couple more coolers full of NY groceries. I am gluten free and ordered the gluten free pizza which unfortunately was not one of the best I have had in the valley, edible but not delightful. My husbands pizza was amazing and the wings were super great, this is one of my husband's favorite pizza places. We will definitely be back, the service was top notch and they do have other gluten free options. I'm going to try the cauliflower crust next time. I just did the regular gluten free.

    Done Right!

    Came for a couple slices and was pleased with everything about is. Size, taste, amount of cheese and pepperoni were right up there with the way I like it. Great owners and staff. Ask you how everything is and they mean it! Nice and comfortable great looking shop.

    I've tried several pizza places and have never found the right fit until now! Born in Brooklyn and raised in Dover, NJ, moved to Chandler,AZ as an adult! Once you've had authentic East Coast pizza, it's hard to accept what AZ considers GOOD pizza! We are so happy to have found Buono's. I can't wait to try everything on their menu! Oh, and the added bonus??? They carry Drakes cakes! Dinner and dessert to die for! Great experience!!

    I have always wanted to try this place out as we have driven past multiples times. I finally made it in on Saturday night and I brought along my sister and friend. We were quickly greeted as we walked in and told to pick a table. We sat down and the friendly server brought us the menus. She gave us a few minutes to look them over and we were finally ready to order. We ordered: One large "the works" pizza One order of 6 boneless wings One Pepsi One rasberry iced tea The wings were brought out first and they were good. They were the perfect hot level and they were breaded perfectly to where we could see that there was actually chicken inside. The pizza was then brought out right as we finished our wings. It came out very hot and it was cooked perfectly as it had a nice crunch to it. The sausage was delicious and the onions were yummy. The slices are big! We had two left over and they still tasted great the next day. Service was great throughout our meal and our server was friendly. They were pretty busy the entire time we were there and most people had to go orders. The inside was clean and the mural / pictures they have up on the walls were fun to look at. The main doors to come in are pretty cool as it is a picture of a subway.

    Food is so bomb! The white pizza never disappoints , the wings are perfectly crispy! Only thing is the employees sometimes have bad attitudes. Place is a little small but overall great food !

    Wings and pizza!!

    Took my grandma there and she is from New York and this is the best place we have ever had Pam was amazing

    Fries
    Kristal S.

    I've tried many pizza restaurants and I have to say, the pizza here is unique from most in the area. I had what I thought would be a basic cheese pizza slice (called "Napolitan Slice" on their menu). Yet, I was amazed at how perfectly crunchy the crust was in every bite. It has the perfect flop that every New-York-style pizza has, but it's not soggy whatsoever. There is a plentiful amount of cheese and the seasoning is pleasantly distinctive. Based on my pizza endeavors, I think it's safe to say that this restaurant has their pizza down to a science. If this is how good their simplest type of pizza is, I can only imagine how divine their other slices taste. What's more, our server was really generous and gave me and my friend an extra drink since they knew we were splitting the lunch special. The staff even gifted us free fries as an appetizer (which were seasoned beautifully btw, I would order again)! All of the staff here are very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. This pizza restaurant is a great business to support, and I am excited to try more of their menu next time I'm in the area.

    Dried sauce, not 27" and thin as cracker
    susie s.

    Awful! Ordered the "Margherita Stracciatella pizza pie" So overcooked the sauce was dried into the dough. Thinner than a cracker. No NY flop to it. And it was not 27". $30bucks and still had to take the hubby out to eat.

Unfortunately, the last four or five times I've ordered a slice, it's been disappointing every time. Literally the last two slices I've gotten I took one bite, and just threw it in the trash!

It was really good, the "traditional" crust was THIN and the onions were soooo sweet (I guess I'm not a fan of the carmelization, just raw) but besides that it was good! It was so packed but the cashier saw a table just big enough to fit all of us leaving, and offered to send someone to bus it. They were incredibly short staffed, so she ran over after ringing up her last customer and cleared and wiped down the table for us.

She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

Ultimately I chose the Mesa store because it was the original and I wanted to see Mesa. We started with a basic garlic cheese bread appetizer and it was great. The calamari was tempting but we'll save that for next time. Wife ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and I ordered the usual Chicken Parmesan which came with a side of pasta. It was actually a harder choice than usual because I walked thru the restaurant before I ordered and so many dishes looked good, as did the pizza. But I went with the usual. Let's start with the wife, which truly speaks to the five stars because she frankly doesn't love Italian food. She eats it when I beg. And she loved it. She actually proactively mentioned she wanted to go back. That's like 7 stars right there it's so abnormal. I agree with her. The chicken parm was fantastic. Amazing. To top it off, our server was great and when I mentioned we were new to the area and it was our first trip she was so nice telling us the history of the original and the other stores, and the manager later stopped by to continue that conversation as the server told her we were new. I mentioned that I live closer to the Scottsdale store, and she said it's the same food and I'll like it just as much. I'll have a hard time deciding which shop to return to - it might be worth the drive to the original just for the ambiance, but I'll give the other a try soon because it was just that good! 5 stars. Or 7 if you ask my wife.
