Meg and I were in the mood for a lazy night in and decided to try out a new place to pick up pizza from. We decided on Buono's because it was close by and had a lot of good reviews, including some from our friends here on Yelp.
I can't speak to the dine-in experience since we took it home. But there was definitely no confusion on what style pizza to expect. New York memorabilia everywhere you look! Very open dining are with plenty of space and a couple TVs on the walls in places that can be easily seen depending on where you sit. Would be a good place to meet up with some friends and watch a game.
Staff seemed friendly enough but since we were doing a pick-up order we didn't really talk to them very much.
The pizza on the other hand was a bit disappointing. We decided to get a 14" Neapolitan style pepperoni pizza. The first thing we notices when we got the pizza home was a load of grease. Given the type of pizza we got I expected some grease from the pepperoni but this was more than a little. Cheese didn't really have much flavor and the dough wasn't very memorable. I kind of expected more for being around as long as they have.
Admittedly, it may have been a bad night and maybe the Sicilian would have been better. You'll have to decide for yourself. As for me though, it may be a while before I give Buono's another go.
