" My experience at Pizza Buona was decent. The pizza was tasty, but it didn't have that wow factor I was hoping for. My pasta salad had good ingredients but could use more spice. Service was friendly, and I enjoyed the family-friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pizza Buona is a hidden gem! The moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the air. I tried their house special, and it was heavenly. The combination of flavors was well balanced, and the crust – oh man, the crust! Perfectly done. I also loved the service; the staff were cheerful and really made an effort to engage with customers. Will be coming back ASAP! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience on my first visit. The pasta was overcooked and not seasoned well. The pizza had potential but lacked the flavor I was hoping for. Staff were friendly, but the kitchen needs improvement. I might give it another try, but I’m hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)
