They have excellent excellent pizza ! This was recommended by a client of mine who is from Rome and I was not dissapointed in the least! I can't wait to come back to try more than just pizza !

Taylor Schuss

This place is a gem. Had some pizza as apps then the swordfish special. I don't remember the types of pizza I had but they were a good, real Italian style . The swordfish I hasd was sooo good!!

Angelo Coronell

Every dish was amazing, the appetizers meat balls and the artichokes wore out of this world, I got a scallop , shrimp , mushroom , tomatoes , mozzarella , feta , and parmesan cheese . pizza bocati di cardele

Tyler

Get there nice and early (they're open noon-11pm on weekends) before the crowds! Loved the "Sergio " pizza with fresh, peachy white sangria ! PS totally dog friendly !

Eater

Regulars rave about the char and chew of the oven-burnished crusts at this friendly South Park pizzeria , which also specializes in homemade pasta . [Eater 38 Member]

Fran

Order any of their special pasta dishes. Try the white sardine insalate or calamari for appetizers . For pizza , the Nicola !! &&& don't forget the tiramisu for dessert !! South Park 's gem!!!

Emily Reed

Favorite Italian spot in San Diego. Friendly atmosphere and delicious pizza . Love the cheese board , calzones & tiramisu .

Deniz Sezer

They dont take reservations (they have a waiting list). If the weather is good try to sit outside, inside is hot and smelly due to the big oven.. Pizzas (Nicola esp.) and house wine were delicious.

Paul Smith

Great new place in South Park . Totally authentic Italian down to the waiters . If going for dinner try to get a seat outside . Inside it can get a bit stuffy since there's no air.

Dianna Summers

Everything about it shouts excellence, from the mainly Italian staff to the authentic Italian cuisine . I have a new favorite Italian restaurant.This place is wonderful!!

Lisa Rosenfelt

I foresee this place always being crowded but the nicoleta pizza and tiramisu are worth it! you can leave your number and grab a drink at Hamiltons while you wait for your table!

Amaya

Great for dates. Had the pizza in a jar which was delicious and unlike anything I've ever had. Just be sure to make a reservation so you don't have to wait.

Mafer Resendiz

Great place! Real Italian style , up to the waiters . Try the polenta , calamari and braseola! And don't forget the chocolate mousse ! Delicious!

Jon Menager

Pizza in a jar! Pizza in a jar! I swear that you haven’t lived life if you haven’t yet had their pizza in a jar. It’s AMAZING. 😍

Amir Baharlou

The pizzas are all yummy, especially Allesandro. But the specials are amazing. Pasta served in a lobster ... Holy shit.

Mike Wolf

You cannot go wrong at this place. It's like going to Italy for the night for dinner and the cost for each dish is under $15. Best Italian in the city .

Dominic Rios

Arguably the best authentic Italian pizzas in San Diego . The food is fresh and the atmosphere is reminiscent of being in Italy.

CrysD

Try the Nicola Pizza , but add fennel sausage ! Do not , and I repeat DO NOT be afraid to use the natural juices on the plate to dip your pizza in before taking a bite ... Motha-fing amazing!

Sledge Hamma

Great food and service at a descent price. The calamari , and the bread that is cooked like a pizza teamed with the caprisi salad makes a great combo!

Billy Ovalles

Fantasticly authentic Pizza Napoletana. Great tiramisù

Todd Blackman

Everything is great here. The pizza is as authentic as you will find in Napoli...I know, I lived there!

Rich

Ask your server about other available pastas . They usually have a couple of additional raviolis and can always do a basic pasta marinara or Alfredo .

Luke Wang

Great homestyle Italian food but expect to wait (to be seated and general service) during rush hours. Just the excuse to have another wine .

Paul Smith

Definitely worth the wait. Have never had a bad meal here.

rachel

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO HERE THE DOUGH IS AMAZING! pizza , focaccia , all the dough 🙌🏼 🙏🏼

Sal

I love this place. Amazing pizzas . The calzone is the best.

Nicola Cattaneo

A corner of italy in San Diego? Yes it's true... homemade lasagne and real italian pizza ! Try It!

Mike Wolf

Best pizza in the city ! Try the Sergio with marscapone in the sauce. (Not on menu - I made it up)

Omar Passons

You really should try the Scarpinocc...and grab a drink at Alchemy (on a date) or Hammy's (on a need for great craft beer )

Carolyn Morgan

It was a very nice atmosphere friendly staff and great food presentation.

Joey Clement

Buona Forchetta is one of the best Italian places in San Diego for the price

they have vegan options (not for desert , sadly). but, it was very good!

Todd Blackman

What is not good here is the better question, but the answer is simple...it's all good here!

I'm dairy free. They can do any pizza without cheese ... And they're amazing.

White truffle & prosciutto pizza ! 👌
