| - We were looking for some pizza in the neighborhood that we hadn't tried yet and Buona Vita was one of the first ones to pop up. Tucked into the Toringdon shoppes, it has the nice neighborhood-y pizza place feel. Just a few booths, small bar seating, a few hightops and tables. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing groundbreaking but certainly reliable in a pinch.
We made it in at dinnertime and we were one of three groups. Our server was nice and, I think, the only one on the floor at the time. We ordered a veggie calzone, 6 wings and a side salad. It took close to 25 minutes for our food to come out, but it wasn't a huge deal. Just wonder what it would be like if it were a full house.
The salad was pretty weak with a hint of veggies, wilted lettuce, and bleu cheese. The bleu was made in-house and was pretty good. The wings were great. Barbalo (buffalo and bbq) and had great flavor. I'd come back on Thursdays when their wings are .50 each. The calzone was ok. The veggies inside were pretty lackluster and the marinara was pretty bland. The dough/crust they use is good, though. Great flavor and cooked well. Just could use a little improvement on the fillings.
I think the rest of their menu is probably good and I would order something completely different next time around.
After our experience with what we ordered, I won't be rushing back but would consider it again if we were in a pinch for some Za!
