First time trying Buono's. We like the downtown location and the plaza where you can enjoy your meal outdoors. The food was very good, it came out hot and the portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. The wait staff seemed ill trained and not really enthusiastic about wanting to help. Nothing bad or rude just very mediocre. We will definitely be back.

This was my 2nd meal from Buono's and my first time eating in. It was a relaxing and lovely experience. We walked in around 5:45PM on a Sunday and we were greeted cheerily by the staff. There was plenty of seating available in the front of the restaurant, in the back, and in the outdoor patio area. We luckily made it in time for Happy Hour so we ordered a side of parmesan garlic fries to start. 4/5 If you're really craving fries, you can order but there were pretty basic with a lack of parmesan garlic flavoring. The texture was crispy and well cooked though. Bonus points for giving lots of ketchup to eat it with. We ordered a medium pizza and full pasta dish to share. 5/5 The rigatoni pink sauce with pancetta and mushrooms was sooooooo tasty! They did not skimp on the pancetta. A very flavorful and satisfying dish. Would order again! 5/5 Our pasta came with large fluffy soft garlic knots. Perfect to soak up the extra pink sauce from the pasta. 5/5 Buono's is known for their pizza so highly recommend ordering one when you're here. The dough is fluffy, crispy, and on the dense side. The red sauce is well seasoned and not too acidic. We got ham, mushrooms, and bell peppers for toppings. We were stuffed with plenty of leftovers to space. We walked here but there is a parking garage around the corner where you can get parking validated. Will be back to try the lasagna and other pasta dishes. A great place for groups!

Delicious pizza! We discovered it after our trip to the aquarium and made the walk to Buonos. The kids loved it and we have made the drive to go again from orange county. Best mozzarella sticks we have ever had!!!

The servers were very attentive to our needs and never skipped a beat when it came to the food and service. I would 100% recommend for an outing and after beach swim treat

Hating giving this place 3 stars because the people who work here are so nice and the pizza crust is really very good however whoever is in charge of toppings is a slight criminal. I ordered spinach and ricotta and they put a ton of canned spinach my pizza had canned spinach juice on it. A woman kept coming by our table to refill the drink of the person I was with and asking if everything is okay and darting off before I could ask for anything. Eventually I had to just get up and ask for what I wanted which isn’t really a big deal but was kinda weird. I could taste and see the canned spinach juice on my pizza which kept falling apart. I went back and saw they had eggplant I asked if it was fried I was told yes but it wasn’t. The eggplant is too thick for a pizza and not fried, the spinach should be fresh. So far pizza and Chicken parm sandwich is where they shine but I haven’t had a good topping yet. Definitely coming back bc the pizza crust is damn good, the outdoor patio is cute, they do validate parking and the people who work they are very friendly but the toppings need to be addressed. I also thought a chicken parm sandwich included cheese and I could be wrong but I think they should add cheese. I didn’t actually look anytime I ordered it but I definitely did not taste it. It’s a very decent quick service Italian joint that you order at the counter and they management could easily improve by not using canned toppings, getting rid of clutter and just sprucing up the bathrooms a bit. A fresh coat of paint, nicer trash cans and a scent would easily suffice. I used to order delivery from there two years ago and it was never good, not sure if they changed their food or what but dining in for pizza or chicken parm i highly recommend. Personally not a fan of the lemon chicken piccata but have high hopes for the ziti.

Flew in from out of state and staying at the Hilton down the street. Wanted to get a local feel and good food. This place hit all the buttons. Highly recommend. Gluten free options as well!

Good Food, Big Portions, and a Nice Patio Buono’s Pizzeria served up large portions and overall good food. The pizza dough was a bit different than what we’re used to, but still enjoyable. The calzone was just okay—the cheese wasn’t fully melted and could’ve used a little more time in the oven. The highlights were definitely the antipasta, which was fresh and flavorful, and the fried zucchini appetizer—it was the best part of the meal! We also really enjoyed dining on the back patio, which made for a relaxing experience. We’d come back again, especially for the appetizers and the atmosphere.

Sooooooo delicious!! Ordered a pepperoni and sausage calzone to go and it was amazing! I'm a huge pizza and calzone connoisseur and this very well may be the best calzone I've ever had! Top to bottom tastiness! Crust had the perfect balance of outside crunch and inside softness, sauce was a genuine NY style calzone sauce, super legit! And the crust had a really tasty seasoning on top that I've never had before, so good! It was packed with meat and cheese, amazing! The atmosphere of the restaurant was chill and enjoyable, they had plenty of space for seating and TVs to watch. The crew were very nice and on it with me as well as every other patron that visited. I highly recommend checking them out!

any business who allows the customer to call an employee "retarded" better take a long look in the mirror and then reevaluate the situation. no one even uses that word anymore and quite frankly it could be grounds for "hate crime " charges. (physical deformities' were considered such, or what this African American bigot was clearly referring too! ) I was in the restaurant when this "women" called the employee such. now I'm questioning why me, and my group of friends even eat here. Times have changed and something are absolutely unforgivable. what is an employee supposed to do, pick and choose who gets charged for extras, I pay for extra sauce so why shouldn't the next. if this employee gets punished for this I'm going to have to do some reevaluating myself. Any person in management should always side with their employee in such situations. The customer isnt always right. and then sometimes neither is the employee.

Buono's Pizzeria is located on Ocean Blvd. in the city of Long Beach. I ordered a few pasta dishes and mozzarella sticks to share, it was all very flavorful. The mozzarella sticks were the best I've ever had! I think my only complaint would be that I felt the Alfredo sauce was too spicy. I'd never had Alfredo sauce that was spicy, this one definitely had a kick to it. Customer service was decent, zero complaints! I won't claim to be an Italian food connoisseur so I can't speak on it's authenticity. Decor was nice, good seating, it's close to the beach so it's nice and airy. Looking forward to trying their pizza next!

Yes!! Completely different from the location off of Willow st. DT Buono's is larger, there's a legit outdoor seating... beautiful scenery, the food tastes better (to me, my opinion) and the staff was super helpful. I think her name was Alyssa??? If I butchered your name I'm sooo sorry doll face, but her energy was on point, you can always tell when someone is being overly friendly....... Well that not her she's sincere and inviting and I appreciate it. Now down to my order. Personal pizza 8" double pepperoni & pineapples ( argue w/ your man, not me because pineapples BELONG!! And a sm salad. Yum.

We decided to try this place considering a friend recommended it, first impressions were that the placed looked tired, sad and dull but we decided to try it anyway, food was flavorless, meatballs were clearly processed which was disgusting and the scampi pizza was a drenched wet mess. To top it all off, the server looked like she didn't even want to be there. Needless to say I'll never be going back, not worth the money nor the "hype."

You gotta give it up for a family run business. The back of the menu has a great story. If you get some time when you do a sit down dinner, read it. Tucked away in a mixed business-apartment complex you will find the Long Beach location. There isn't any parking in front so it is a little hard to spot from the road. The is public parking close by. You will pay to park and walk a little to get here. We wanted a nice, Italian dinner on New Year's Eve. We walked in and the place was moderately busy. Thank goodness. Everywhere else had a wait list. We got to choose a table and someone promptly came for your drink order. Mind you, there isn't a bar here. Quite a few brands of beer. Limited but manageable wine list (1 brand of merlot, 1 cabernet, 1 chianti, etc.). We ordered drinks and an appetizer. It took a reasonable amount of time to get those. We talked while we ate breadsticks. We had some good, standard choices and order our meals. I tried the vegetable lasagna. My partner had the pizza. The meal came and we were ready to eat! It seems like a good meal. It is the place you go to as a third choice when you want something out of the ordinary. I am not saying it is bad. Just not my fist choice. Bathrooms are clean and staff are nice. Let's face it, I came on New Year's Eve. I applaud the staff for showing up. Nobody wants to work on holidays and they came in to work.

My orders of late for food are mostly from DoorDash and stopping by on occasion is rare but it does happen. I live nearby in the downtown area and have had Buono's Pizza before and now that it's closer to me I have to buy it for convenience especially on days I don't want to cook. The restaurant is clean the ambiance is chill and the service is great and on DoorDash when you place an order you will always get the same fresh made quality food wrapped secure and delivered hot. I ordered a large pizza with sausage pepperoni and mushrooms a side of marinara sauce blue cheese dressing and an orange Fanta soda. The pizza It was absolutely delicious nice and crispy on the edges semi crisp and chewy on the bottom the sausage was tasty and the pepperoni was bomb I'm obsessed with pepperoni and rarely dislike it on my pizza my only criticism would be the sauce it was very good but needed a little seasoning or salt just a bit more to bring out the flavor but I would definitely order it again and with extra cheese. 9/10 Marinara sauce Delicious it just needs a little more seasoning or salt but it's really tasty getting extra on the side was a good thing. 8/10 The blue cheese dressing was bomb as expected and when I dipped my pizza into it and this gal was in heaven I love that combo of flavors. 10/10 Ice cold orange Fanta it's soo refreshing what more do you want Shawn a Pepsi or coke please poured into a tall glass half filled with ice. Lol I'd love to try the fettuccine and spicy hot wings on my next order. Overall everything was excellent I recommend you give them a try you won't be disappointed. Visit early and eating take a drive over to The Pike and get some shopping in or drive over to the Long Beach Aquarium it's really nice and filled with interesting sea life and so much more I'm positive you your family and kids will love it. Just me Shawn C. ,; ),

Love this place, staff is very personable, thank you Carlos and Chelsea... food is just like mom's home cooking (even sometimes better than moms shhhhhh!!) I am determined to try everything on the menu! Have not found one thing that I have not liked. Love the staff. Wouldn't eat an Italian fish anywhere else. Highly recommended!! Tv with sports, movies, entertainment with outside dining as well next to the water fountains. Nice place for a date, hanging with friends or just a table for one.

Love coming here, genuinely come at least twice a week. They have a self serve salad bar with tons of options, I always load up on the marinated olives and pepperonis. The pizza and lasagna are AMAZING!! & I always get meatballs without sauce to go for the pups to go. 10/10 experience every time!!

I've seen a couple Buono's Pizzeria around and this was my first time actually going to one and trying it out! I went here for dinner on a Friday around 6 PM and it wasn't that busy. They gave us a couple of menus and said we could sit anywhere we like and a server would be with us. The servers were very kind and attentive! It is quite nice inside and a bit bigger than I had anticipated. They also have a self serve salad bar, which you do have to pay for in order to use I believe. We ordered the Buono's Special with the gluten free crust. We were so happy that they had a gluten free option. The pizza was pretty good. They were generous with the toppings and it didn't slide off the pizza at all so, it seemed fairly well put together! I could taste that the crust was a little burnt at some parts, but it wasn't that big of an issue. Also just fyi their gluten free crust is pretty thin.

Came here to carb load before the long beach marathon! We left so full. The pizza and pasta were amazing! Staff was so nice and gave us a discount for being a part of the marathon. Highly, highly recommended!

Ordered delivery for the chicken Parmesan and a Caesar salad to split between 2 adults. It probably could have easily fed at least 3 adults or a family of 4. Portions were huge! The salad was super fresh, pasta was perfectly cooked. Chicken was flavorful and the bread was excellent. Would definitely recommend!

My family and I arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and received the best service from a man who I think was named Carlos. He was attentive, friendly and you could tell he was passionate about providing great service. He carried the whole team! Thank you Carlos!

Love this place. This is the outdoor section of the restaurant. They also have a pretty nice area inside. They have a salad bar and my favorite pizza. I absolutely love the pizza here.

Margherita pizza, rigatoni pancetta, and giant donut rolls! Beware of huge portions! If you want to curl up after eating all the carbs, this is your go-to! Delicious! A warning from the waiter about the size would have been great! We are visiting from out of town and hate seeing food go to waist so we will be carting it back to our hotel! the atmosphere is little to be desired but easy walk from the Hilton.

If you follow my reviews you know that dog-friendly is the way we roll. But what about a chilly night on November. I had a craving for Minestrone soup and I turned to Yelp for a recommendation. Buono's, of course, we bundled up and headed up Ocean. We had eaten outdoors and knew about the outdoor heaters, we figured we'd be comfortable. A table in a nook out front seemed perfect. Carlos, our server had a heck of a time lighting the heater, dashing in and out twice attempting to get it lit until he diagnosed it dead. He offered us the back patio, which was pleasantly lit and had working heaters. Soon we were cozy warm and my minestrone was on the way. A mound of cheese over pasta was delivered, Pat had ordered vegetarian lasagna. Ample doesn't come close. If you know, you know, Buono's famous sauce can make your mouth water just writing about it. she took half of it home and the two garlic knots too. (She and Boomer had already made short work of my cheesy garlic bread) The only fault with a great supper at a nearby local owned business was that I had a bowl of what was closer to vegetable soup than minestrone that I'm used to. Maybe it was a slip up, but it was clearly a minestrone wanna be. And I ate it anyway, it was delicious. Kudos to Carlos who took good care of us and shared the credit with his manager Elissa when we thanked him for a lovely night out

I have very bad news for you; after eating Buono's Pizzeria pizza, it will be nearly impossible to eat any other pizza from Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, and the likes! I don't even really like pizza, but Buono's Pizzeria pizza is the exception. One hot, fresh, and crispy bite of this pizza and you will be hooked just like me. We've eaten at Buono's 4 times in a 2 week period (1 time at Ocean Blvd in LB, 2 times at Willow St in LB, and 1 time at the San Pedro location) bringing family members with me to promote this locally family owned business. We've ordered different kinds of pastas and pizzas and I can guarantee you that you cannot go wrong with any choices you make. My favorite must be the salad bar. They only use quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. This Ocean Blvd location has a nice patio area you can host events in. Like the other Buono's locations, this place is also clean and kept up. Service is outstanding. Mr. Frank Buono was present during an event when we were here and was so kind and even greeted us. Dear Buono's Pizzeria, you have earned another loyal customer. See you soon!

Visiting and wanted something quick. Hotel highly recommended. I ordered the margarita pizza and minestrone soup. The pizza had way too much cheese. If that is what's popular in this area fine but it was over kill in my opinion. The minestrone soup was disappointing as well. Carrot celery onion broccoli and potato. It was a Monday so I will give the restaurant a pass but I wasn't impressed. Best of luck

Good pizza, good bread, good cheese, good sauce. We were looking for a pizza place to eat and our hotel attendant recommended this place. They close at 10pm and we walked in at 9:15pm and were immediately seated and had our order taken. We were out by the time they closed and just have to say we demolished our pizza. Super good, will definitely be coming back when in town!

Was in town for a conference and needed a spot for 14 people without reservations. We dropped in on a Wednesday evening around 7:30. Pretty much had the place to ourselves but decided to sit outside. Weather was nice so it was perfect. Service was quick. We ordered drinks, three pizzas, and salad. It all came out quick and was pretty tasty. Expect good service here. Will definitely be back when in town again.

I loved coming here when I lived near the apartments where this location is. You can tell they really care about the community because they partnered with the complex to offer residents a discount! Every time I called to place a pickup order, the staff were so friendly and accommodating--especially since I order a cheeseless pizza, which is a little different. The pizza is thick yet fluffy, and the ingredients always taste incredibly fresh. Their outdoor patio is a great spot to enjoy a casual dinner.

First thing first ... the mozzarella sticks are absolutely incredible. I wish we would have bought 5 orders. No joke. The greatest thing ever. We ordered meatball sandwiches and that's the reason I'm not giving 5 stars. They were ... meh ... not very good. Dry. And the meatballs tasted funny. With a weird texture. Would not recommend. The portion size is HUGE tho if it's something you are interested in. We also ordered a calzone but have no room in my belly to try it. I'll update this later once I taste it. And it's HUGE!! We paid $51 for all of this food so I'm not complaining on the price. Service is great, restaurant is super cute and clean. We have had the pizza too before and it was amazing. Bottom line, those mozzarella sticks are worth everything

The BEST pizza and I'm not kidding! Also, the fried zucchini and eggplant parmigiana and those rolls, mama mia! If I listened to some of those reviews I would have missed out on the best pizza experience ever. Being Italian and growing up in NY, my first bite into the pizza brought me back to when my grandpa used to make pizzas for a midnight snack, boy do I miss those days... so I got a glimpse of my childhood back. Thanks Buono's Pizzeria!

The food was so good, fresh, and ready on time. I was greeted with great service. It's a clean venue and beautiful outdoors. Kid friendly, especially with the beautiful beach weather. I'd definitely come back for a date night because the food was so yummy! The Tiramisu is also a winner

I thought this place was pretty good. I have a severe gluten related intolerance and they offer gluten free crust. Service was great and the food was delicious. I know it can be difficult to make a good gluten free crust, but I have no complaints here. It was tremendous. Toppings are generous and they don't skimp on it. My only slight knock on it is that the interior is pretty ugly in my opinion. I don't think they really expect you to stay there and they do mostly carry out or delivery, but we wanted to get out of the hotel a bit. I would definitely return if I were in Long Beach.

It's been a few years since I came here even though I live less than 100 steps away. I ordered a to go meal. 12 wings half sweet and spicy and half lemon pepper. I requested for all flats and they both were great! A better deal than WingStop. I got a med special combo pizza. Here is where I got surprised. The last time I got pizza from here, it was okay but this time? My pizza dough was awesome and it was stacked with toppings all quality ingredients. So so good! I also got a lasagna bcz others raved about it here on Yelp. I will have that tomorrow bcz I am so full after two slices and 5 wings. Totally satisfied. They were nice and fast at the bar as well. So now I have a great place to go to that's less than 100 steps away! Winning!

We came in with a party of 8 and every one of us raved about the food! Service was prompt and friendly. Having grown up with authentic Italian food I've always used a restaurants Eggplant Parmesan as a gauge for the quality of an Italian restaurant - 10/10. Drowning in a pool of savory marinara was an eggplant that was cooked to perfection. Great texture and taste. I didn't need confirmation that everything was made from scratch but I asked anyway and confirmed that the dish was indeed made from scratch. For other orders in our visit my wife ordered the Rigatoni Pancetta & Funghi - the perfect counter-balance to my savory dish, the Rigatoni was a rich and creamy authentic Italian dish. Finally, I've got a major challenge in feeding a 2, 4 & 6 year old children. We kept it simple and ordered pizza for them. I was too busy getting lost in my eggplant to notice that they devoured their pizza before I had time to blink. Needing to try it myself I took a bite and understood why it was so quickly devoured. The Pepperoni Pizza had that same, great marinara with a creamy cheese but that wasn't even the best part - the crust was baked to perfection - just baked enough to have that crunchy texture without overdoing it. If we lived nearby this place would be a mainstay. If you're in Long Beach this should be priority #1. Oh and the price for everything was great considering the quality. The personal-sized pepperoni pizza during happy hour is cheaper than buying a frozen pizza.

My friend invited us to dinner for pizza and of course I said yes!! I have been craving pizza for a while!! The food: We got Pepperoni Pizza, Hawaiian Pizza, Raviolis, rolls, salad and soft drinks! Everything was delicious!! I especially loved the raviolis and the sauce was ahh-mazing!! The staff: Great customer service and the waiters were very attentive and friendly! The restaurant: The restaurant is quaint inside a building with apartments on top. I would have never guessed there was a restaurant there! I'm so glad that now I know about this place! My friends and I sat in the back patio and we loved it!! We were able to enjoy our food with great conversation! Am I coming back again? ABSOLUTELY!! I'm definitely coming back for more raviolis and pizza! I would like to try other items on the menu too! I can't wait to come back! By the way parking is in the back of the building. Thank you so much for reading my review! Please kindly give me a "Like"!

I don't think previous photos have been doing this place justice. I was a little skeptical at first but decided to give it a go. Glad I did because it tastes really good! They definitely nailed the crust too. I also got their Mediterranean grilled chicken salad, I recommend asking for cold chicken but it still tastes amazing. 10/10

Yelp
Horrible customer service. I called about 30 min before they closed and the girl who answered the phone was rude. I said I'd like to place an order, She said "we're closed". Didn't even apologize for any inconvenience. I asked "don't you close at 9" She said "no we just closed right now" after a pause I said "oh sorry, I thought I read online you closed at 9" She said "we close whenever we want" So rude. Would rather give my business to little Caesar's with that kind of customer service.

I been here before and pizza is great. But I don't know what happened today. I came a little after 11:00 and the doors were still locked. But the lady working the front quickly opened them. Okay no problem there. I ordered a calzone. It should take 20-25 minutes this took 50 minutes to make. I sorry that is unacceptable. What really gets me is I added tip when I paid.

I was so happy to have a Buonos so close to work. I have been to both the San Pedro and Willow Street locations. They're not a problem. But today, I presented a coupon that specifically came off their pizza box and was denied the coupon. Their bedside manner is a deal breaker. I will not be coming back.

I came to Buono's on a Saturday night and I was very pleased with the food and the service. I got a large family-style pizza with three toppings and a sample platter. The total came to about $50 and the portions were generous. Everything tasted great and was very fresh. The person helping us was really kind and helpful as well, I think her name was Aaniyah. She was working at 8 pm on Saturday, so shoutout to her! :) The ambiance was very chill

I will drive all the way to LB to eat the Chicken Picatta it is one of the best dishes I've ever had. Make sure you add angel hair pasta and if you're like me extra capers. The service here is always great. Very friendly and fast. It's nice and quiet ambiance where you can enjoy your meal. I've also seen they have great lunch special deals.

One of the best pizza places we have been to. The pizza is so good. We love the sauce and crust.

Would definitely recommend

Stumbled upon this place while in town and boy did we find a gem! Amazing service and food. The pizza was nice and crispy light crust but was cooked to perfection with great taste and crispy pepperoni. The wings were off the chain we ordered lemon pepper and bbq, the bbq wings were my favorite super crispy outside with tender meat on the inside and their ranch was a winner lol all in all great place and will definitely be back when in town!

We thought the food was fine. The pizza has a thick chewy crust. We liked the crust. We weren't fond of the sausage but its different. The middle of the pizza was not crispy. The rest of the appetizers were fine.

First time at Buono's. Ordered garlic bread, a personal pizza, beer and wine. Garlic bread was fine, and the pizza was good. However, I think a little less cheese would make this pie a little better. Interior was nothing special, could use a modern makeover. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, good prices, decent food, and free parking in the back parking structure

We live 3 blocks away on Ocean. Had a coupon for some discounts so we thought let's give them another try. Previous visits were very underwhelming. First off... $7 for a glass of wine is the best in Downtown Long Beach! The staff is so helpful and friendly! Ordered the Antipasto Misto (No Bueno). Didn't have all the ingredients for it? Got the Antipasto salad as a replacement. Tons of greens that we just left. The meat on the salad was very fresh and tasty although! Ordered Angel Hair pasta with meatballs as a side. Sorry, but basically tasteless! Just a giant bowl of pasta with nothing. No reason to come back. Still underwhelming! If you are in Downtown Long Beach, go to Broadway Pizza or Modica's Deli for better tasting food.

Delivery time....1 hr 10 min to deliver 0.7 miles (corner of Ocean and Elm). This is the 3rd consecutively time it pizza was cold, soggy, and pizza box steamy dropping on the center from seating close to hour. To top if off, they charge $5 for delivery fee.

My friends and I ordered a lot because we weren't expecting a lot of food. I thought it might just be over priced. WE WERE WRONG. The rigatoni Al Forno and roast beef sandwich were huge! We'll have tasty leftover for tonight.

Buono's Pizzeria is located in the corner of some apartment buildings in a nice area. Our server, Carlos, was welcoming and very kind! First, we ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were SO good and we got a generous amount. They're one of my favorite mozzarella sticks I've tried at any restaurant thus far. For the main course, we ordered a 12-inch chicken parmigiana sandwich and an 8-inch Mediterranean chicken sandwich. The chicken parm sandwich was really good, and was some of my favorite chicken parm I've ever had. The chunks of chicken were generous, and the sandwich itself comes with soft bread, chicken, mozzarella and marinara which were all really good and tasty. The Mediterranean chicken sandwich was good, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. Just good. Inside the sandwich was chicken flavored with a wine sauce (as stated by the server), melted mozzarella cheese, black olives, mushrooms, and onion. We were only able to eat half of our sandwiches and took the rest home, as the servings were a bit more than we expected. But we're not complaining! Overall, this is a nice spot with good service that I recommend if you happen to be near the Pike Outlets.

Came by when it opened on Sunday. Our server was friendly and offered us menu suggestions. Their zuchini steaks (not sticks) were excellent. We shared the family size combo pizza and it was quite good. There is parking on the side of the street.
