Went for pizza with our dog, nice patio plenty of room for my pooch. They do not have table service. Get your table and walk up order, they will bring it out. Pizza was large, hot and wasn't too greasy. You can order slices also with a nice salad. Great bar on the patio. Parking can be tough and it's a very busy place but if your looking for something else other than pizza, it's not for you.

This has become my "go to" pizza spot. I have visited twice now and was impressed both times. Even the plain cheese is a good choice. The price for the pizza is uncommon for the area and such a breath of fresh air. Let's be honest, pizza shouldn't break the bank. The location is amazing. The patio overlooks the wetlands near Torrey Pines state beach. I would confidently say this is an undervalued and underrated spot. It's walk up quick service, so no servers taking your order. Overall, I highly recommend

Good pizza, amazing view of Torrey pines, super affordable and delicious! They have their own outside bar and patio. We got to watch the game while enjoying our pizza.

Not too much to say. Great views or Torrey pines and beers on tap and a separate bar area. Prices are pretty good especially my go to chicken parm which they just call a chicken hero. You can get pizzas by the slice and they are good. They are famous for their garlic knots which are made daily by the stack! It's not a sit down. More like a carry out with tables to sit , eat and enjoy the view. They have about a dozen premium beers on tap. Anyhow I'm a chicken parm snob and although they use tenders they are solid and the sesame seed hero "bread" is delicious. For $12 can't beat it. Been here a half dozen times or more and the food is consistent.

Surprisingly affordable at about $13 per person for pizza and a drink, a short walk to the beach, reasonable portions if not veering to the bigger side, and super kind staff. Took us by surprise and we will definitely return.

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.

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!

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.
