Buonasera New York Pizzeria

Thin crust pizza was ok, crust is not really NY style, but the ingredients were fresh ($21). Garlic knotts were fluffy and fresh, there were 6 of them came with sauce for $7.50. Beer is kind of pricey at $8.75 for a pint. It was busy on a Sunday and had nice seating inside and out. The staff were friendly, nice place to try on a sunny afternoon.

Lord it has been so long since we had a great slice of pizza and this place was such a pleasant surprise. The cheese pizza and the pepperoni pizza absolutely worth a try! Definitely recommend!

I love this spot! After hiking around Torrey Pines this is a great spot to swing by for lunch. They have a menu board in front which tells you the price for 1 slice, 2 slice, and then if you want a combo (add a drink). The workers were really kind and took the time to ask questions-- like if you wanted to eat in or take out, if you want any drinks or anything else, etc. Something to note is that they have the pizzas displayed and you point to which one you want and then they heat it up for you. Although, sometimes it can be confusing since there are no name tags or descriptions near the pizza -- so for the ones that aren't classics, you're basically describing to them what you want (which takes a bit longer). I have had the caesar salad once before, but at the time I went the caesar dressing was super oily. So, if you do order a salad, I would recommend choosing a different dressing. I did like how fresh the lettuce was and the amount of croutons they gave. I also had tried the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was delicious! Would reccommend this! When I had 2 slices it cost me $8.50 and the Small Caesar Salad cost $8. In the end, I probably wouldn't get the salad again since the pizza was a better deal and price. Today, I just went with 1 slice of Combo Pizza. I like the dough and how it's thin but with a nice chew to it. The sauce is flavorful and herby. I liked the sausage that was on this combo pizza. The combo pizza comes with mushrooms, sliced onions, sliced green bell peppers, black olives, pepperoni, and cheese. It cost $4.25 for 1 slice.

Had a couple of vegetarian and pepperoni slices with some draft beers on a rainy, chilly San Diego Friday, sitting out on the patio. The setup is basically self-service. We ordered and picked up our slices ourselves, then sat near the bar for the beers. Ended up paying about $40 for 4 drafts, and I’m guessing the pizza was another $40+ (my buddy got those). Overall, the place is decent. The staff are polite and attentive when they’re around. Since it’s mostly self-service, I’d say the service is a 2/5.

Buonasera New York Pizzeria Torrey Pines finally open and I'm excited to have great New York style thin crust close by! Great views from the bar and eating area to Torrey Pines Lagoon. Fresh hot pizza by the slice or whole pizza is delicious. Meal deal 2 slices and a drink is there specials. Antipasti looked great and will give that a try next visit. Don't forget to try the Gluten Free Pizza, the crust is crispy and the best I have tried so far!

The best pizza I had so far ! We had 4 varieties of veggie pizza and all 4 were delicious.Their crust is crisp and flavorful! The best part is you can order by slice , making it more convenient to try varieties!

You know when I friend recommends a good doctor, but they mention they have bad bedside manner [*meaning they're good at their craft but not particularly nice]? That's this place. Rarely have I had a bad pizza, salad or bar drink. In fact, most are good or better than average. Think good food but with the indifferent... "I don't care if you come here or not" New York attitude.

The best things about Buonasera are the location and the crust. It’s right next to Torrey Pines hiking trail and the crust is perfect. A lot of NY a style pizza make the crust sooo thin where the toppings lay that the pizza falls apart while you’re eating it. This place makes it perfect. Also, I saw them make a sandwich and it looked sooo delicious. I will order that next time. I also ordered the chicken wings and I liked the flavor of their buffalo sauce. It was nice that it wasn’t the standard Frank’s buffalo sauce.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This pizza + Italian food spot is the absolute bomb. My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite after a long, long walk on the beach. Awesome day! The pizza is amazing, the service is exceptional and the views are memorable and truly nice and relaxing to take in. If you stop in at Buonasera you can also grab a coffee to the right or get a taco on the left at the neighboring businesses. The architecture and overall building design was executed quite well and the walkways adjoining the three spots to dine was really well thought out. We were going on for sushi in La Jolla but couldn't help but sample one of their garlic knots, and a slice. My friend doesn't eat meat so they were so accommodating to actually line one half with my pepperoni! Excellent. I had a beer and she had some wine. Two suggestions: please add sour beers to your list. Everything is IPA. IPA, IPA, HAZY IPA. ; [ Sours were the very first beer style ever invented! They go well with food, so bring some in please! Also, the wine selection, kinda lacking big time here and they have nothing that sparkles, as in champagne. Yes, it is that kind of place because we are on the coast and maybe want to sip some bubbly to salute to the sun as she sails to the other side of the world over night...... Highly recommend!! Please offer the up and coming craze for people who know wine: VERMENTINO from Sargegna AKA Sardinia and it is also found in Tuscany. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you will LOVE Vermentino.

Great location for a post hike grub! Crust is thin and crispy but I prefer my crust with a bit of chew. The toppings can get a bit too salty. However feeling the ocean breeze while eating a slice of pizza after a hike/run feels like heaven .

We stopped by today for some slices of pizza after the gym (ironic right). Street parking was limited as expected on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Torrey Pines. There's a bar area which is convenient if you want full service vs ordering inside with cashier. The slices of pizza available are on full display in front. They have a nice 3 slices with soda for $13. They had a great tv/projector in main room playing Sunday football. Ordering was easy but not personable. I wanted a calzone and asked for advice b/w that ($16) vs the $13 for 3 slices. He didn't really say much except calzone would take 30m to make vs 2 min to heat up the slices of pizza. The guys heating up the slices were SUPER cool and helpful though! They offered suggestions on the slices and even gave me thoughts about the calzone vs stromboli. I enjoyed the Crime Scene slices as well as the Meat Lover slice. The crust was well crisped and had a nice chew to it. I would come back to try more items.

Cool spot with indoor and outdoor seating! We got the supreme pizza (28") and the Large antipasto. It was a good portion for the group of 4 of us and I really liked the spiral of cheese and meats in the salad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I spilt ranch on my shirt and didn't notice until the end of dinner cause EVERYTHING was PERFECTION. My husband and I got 3 pepperonis, 1 Hawaiian and 2 garlic knots and we are currently in a food comma. Customer service was perfection as well in addition to a really dope ambiance. Anytime we are back in town we are forsure making a stop back here! Food coma worth it! Thanks everyone for the hospitality and deliciousness!

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!

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.

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.

I came to get one of their lunch combos on a lazy Monday morning and wow what a surprise this place was! The pizza had a crispy undercarriage but was not overcooked in the slightest. The sauce on top had good flavor and it was an overall great slice. The Caesar salad was huge and I considered taking half of it home (I never take leftovers). The garlic bite was delicious and reminiscent of the bread I used to get at my favorite pizzeria as a kid... will be coming back just for these. And the cherry on top was the freshly brewed black iced tea that they offer. Will be back again, likely this week!!

Stopped by on the way to the beach for an early dinner. Enjoyed a couple of slices, glass of beer and wine then doubled back for house salad and an Aperol spritz. Was such a nice spot early afternoon before it got crowded. Love this local gem!!

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.

Great spot to grab a couple of slices of pizza after a hike at Torrey Pines Tasty pizzas and knots with great and friendly service

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.

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.

It's great food with a great view! The patio seating here is great for seeing Torrey Pines beach. Their garlic knots and their pizza is amazing, but my favorite thing is their antipasto salad, which is massive, comes with salami and cheese, and only $13! i've never been able to finish it in one sitting

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!

Oh my goodness. It's always hard to find good pizza here, but this was the spot. The sauce was amazing and the staff was so friendly. And the ranch was delicious too.

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.

Pizza is great. Pizza is thin crust and they have gluten-free crust available. Super friendly staff and casual atmosphere. Great for a post-hike slice. Kid friendly. Has adjoining Bird Rock coffee roasters and taco shop.

A friend of mine lives nearby and this is her neighborhood pizza spot. I came here for dinner with her one day. Pizza is decent but nothing special. The view overlooking Torrey Pines is nice and around sunset it's certainly a nice hangout spot. The beer selection is also very good.

Met 2 friends there yesterday for a late lunch and drinks. The bartender was continuously smacking and popping his gum so loud you could hear it throughout the patio, even inside. It was so obnoxious and annoying we left.

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.

Came here to hike the trail by the restaurant. Stopped by for a couple drinks after. One of the nicest views and even better service. The hospitality is immaculate! Restaurants should strive for this type of atmosphere and Buonasera sets the bar high!

Food is ok. Location is great. Owner (latino guy) operates with a chip on his shoulder. Very hostile and that ruins the whole experience.

Pizza is super good but the service really isn't great. Feels like every time I come here the people who work here are super rude. This is one of those places where you just take your stuff to go and try not to interact with anyone...

I was pleasantly surprised by this little place. The pizza is great and view isn't too bad either. You should check it out if you are in the area.

What a great place!! The food was great and reasonably priced compared to other restaurants nearby. The view was perfect for relaxing and enjoying time with friends and family. The staff were helpful and the food came out quick. I highly recommend their garlic knots and the pasta yummmmm.

I like the pizza here but the garlic rolls are the best! Service was great, there was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Decent seating outside with a few tables inside.

Stopped by here after a nice hike at Torrey Pines! A perfect San Diego day to enjoy the outdoors. We were looking for a place to eat after and thought a few slices of pizza would be perfect. Buonasera popped up on Yelp and we are so glad we gave it a try! Great pizza, great service, amazing experience! Can't wait to come back soon!

Delicious Pizza at a very reasonable price! We ordered within an hour of closing and they even delivered to our hotel before closing.

DO NOT ORDER PIZZA HERE!!!!!!Absolute WORST customer service. Website is impossible. Even if you manage to order on line, even after they take your money, when you go to pick up, they say they never got the order. Absolutely worthless people!!!!

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

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.

This is such a great little quick pizza spot. You can't go wrong with getting a slice and getting it warmed up. It comes out great. Not only was the pizza tasty but it was quite reasonable. We are definitely coming back here again in the future. I would suggest the ricotta and sausage pizza. It's far better than the more well-known pizza place in Orange County that does the same thing.

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.

Busy spot, for good reason. The food is good and the locals love it. Besides the pizza, I highly recommend the meatballs which are really tasty.

Great service today from Ervin. We got a slice pie, which is a great deal. 8 mix and match slices for $28. One was the new eggplant ricotta slice (here on my plate once I took it home). Yum!

Finally, a place with a great view AND excellent food!! The crime scene is epic, the meatballs are fantastic,, however our go to classic is a large cheese, extra cheese, well done! Even just this cheese pizza is a hit when we bring it to parties! Love Javier and the whole team at Buonasera! And the 2 alive special with a drink is a steal, best pizza in north county.

This place is adorable. It overlooks the grassy lands right by the ocean and you can see the ocean as well very very clean. The food is mouthwatering delicious. Also great bar selection of beers and wine :-) service was fast and very kind. They brought us our food (instead of grabbing from counter) will make this a regular place for sure!

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