Buono’s Pizza — Restaurant in Gilbert

When they 1st opened I use go about 1 a month, the food was great, adults ran the place and the cook spoke English. I got spaghetti a lot for my grandson, lots of sauce. Then it was run by teenagers and a cook who didn't speak English,between the 2 of the orders never came out right. I got the rigstoni and the cheese was not melted . I quit going. I tried again, new cook, my 12 year old grandson looked at the spaghetti and said "they didn't give us any sauce just meat. A scoop of meat. I paid $14 for spaghetti noodles that cost $2 for a box.You can pay for extra sauce, actually you have to pay to get sauce with spaghetti. I will never go back. Next time I'll go to Brooklyn's or Sal's. IN response to the owner,18 and 19 year olds go to college and are still teenagers.Vetting someone doesn't guarantee they are good workers. The Owners response is quite immature. This is the 2nd complaint about the young employees. Everyone speaks English now, as I said they got a new cook. You can buy a box of spaghetti in a store for $2. Sorry if I wasn't clear. If you choose a pene pasta it's rigatoni to me not spaghetti. I'm not italian, I apologize for not calling it by the right name but you sale it. The owners response would be a red flag to me. You can believe believe the few who gave honest feedback, or most likely friends and family of people connected to...

“A True Taste of New York with a Family Touch!”

This pizza place is an absolute gem! The pizza was everything you could hope for in authentic New York-style—a perfect crust, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. It truly brought back memories of classic NYC slices. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family.

We started this adventure with their garlic knots with mozzarella that comes with their amazing, mouth watering, 6 hour, slow simmered sauce. We couldn't even hold off and devoured them before I could get a proper picture but you will not be disappointed. We also got a couple slices, a salad and some nice, crispy, meaty chicken wings. Everything, and I mean everything, came out absolutely delicious and with their special touch.

What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. Jimmy, the owner, runs the place with his family, and their passion for what they do really shines through. Not only was the staff incredibly friendly, but Jimmy himself sent out a couple of treats from the kitchen, adding a personal touch that made us feel like part of the family. Even got some awesome Buono's swag to rep!

I can’t wait to return and introduce more people to this amazing spot. If you’re looking for authentic, mouthwatering pizza served with genuine care and warmth, this is the...

UPDATE 10-4-23 pizza was hot and fresh. Aroma filled the car and both myself and fiancé enjoyed the owners response to my first review and their attempt at making a great pizza. The entire pie was good and we will come back again. Communication was top notch and the owner really cares for his business and staff and customers.

I show up to pick up an online order (which had its bugs and problems) and they tried to convince me that they did not have the order. I asked them to look again (because the name it’s under is a very unique name…that’s how we order pizza) to which they finally found the ticket. Then they asked me if I had an ID. I said the name of the person I was picking up for and that they could come outside and meet them and that the pizza was paid for. They then proceeded to take their time going to the back to find the pizza, finally brought me the pizza and once I got into the car you couldn’t smell a thing. All pizza has an aroma but this pizza smelled like nothing. Drove the 3min home and the pizza was bland, sauce was minimal at best, pepperoni had no flavor and the crust was dry. Upon leaving the restaurant with the pizza in hand I walked to the car shaking my head to my partner as I knew I wouldn’t be coming here again. This is not NY pizza it’s a mockery...
