"With its beloved flagship in South Park, owner Matteo Cattaneo opened the second Buona Forchetta location at Liberty Station in 2017. Whether it’s locals stopping by for $15 prix-fixe lunch or the after-work crowd coming to sip sangria and enjoy a classic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, this popular spot is always buzzing. Don’t sleep on the fan-favorite panna cotta for dessert." - Keri Bridgwater
"This family-friendly restaurant with locations all over San Diego focuses on Neapolitan-style pizzas and Northern Italian dishes. The build-your-own pasta dishes can be modified to kiddie portions for a more budget-friendly price. The Liberty Station location has two playgrounds, and a vintage Fiat retrofitted as a dining table." - Helen I. Hwang

"Under the high ceilings of Liberty Station, two wood-fired ovens (one is dedicated gluten-free) char rounds of Neapolitan dough weighted under imported Italian tomatoes. The vegan section of the menu offers four vegetable forward pies topped with optional vegan cheese. Carmelized onions make Piera pizza, with grape tomato and mushrooms, a particular stand out. Call for take-out or dine-in on their ample patio." - Kelly Bone
"To the delight of many gluten-free pizza lovers, Officine Buona Forchetta in Liberty Station serves gluten-free pizza that some swear are just as good as the original. All 45 of the restaurant’s pizzas can be ordered gluten-free for a $2 surcharge and are cooked in “Sergio,” a proprietary 900-degree wood-fired oven just for gluten-free items." - Jackie Bryant
