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. 9/10Marinara 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. 8/10The 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. 10/10Ice 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. LolI'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. ,; ),

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
