Editorial Review

Worth the Trip: Buon-Gustaia

The minute you step inside, you know the pizza is going to be good. The waft from the imported wood-burning oven smells like a real Italian mom-and-pop pizzeria, maybe in Pisa or Cortona. Though it is tucked into a humdrum strip mall, next to an Arby's and between two highways, the place feels like the real deal. The tables are laid with heavy white cloths and the waiters are expert. Ask yours for a recommendation or choose the pizza that's true to its name, Buon-Gustaia (good taste). Its firm crust easily supports the house's sweet tomato sauce and thick slices of Italian sausage, plus pepperoni and pancetta. The only inauthentic touch is the pie's overly generous amount of fresh mozzarella. But it's hard to complain about that.

Don't let the outside fool you!

This place has the best food! The editorial review is about their pizza, which I have never tried! I do love their pasta and other dishes. The place does not take reservation and be prepared to stand outside in line for a table, no matter the weather! It is well worth the wait however long it might be to get a table.
