Buona Vita Pizzaria

I’ve been going every year, and it always delivers. This time I had the pepperoni pizza, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly baked, the pepperoni had just the right amount of crisp, and the cheese was melted to perfection. I actually saw them take it out of the oven it came out hot and fresh, and you could smell how good it was before it even got to the table. Everything was done quickly but with care. The service was fast, the staff were super friendly as always, and the whole place just has this relaxed, welcoming vibe. If you’re looking for great pizza and a place that gets it right every time, Buona Vita is it. Highly recommend!

Every summer, Buona Vita is my go-to spot and it never disappoints. This place has become a tradition for me, and one of the highlights of the menu has to be the Parmesan Meatballs. They’re incredibly flavorful: juicy on the inside, with that perfect touch of crispy cheese on the outside. You can tell they’re made fresh, with real care. It’s simple food, done righ. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and order the Parmesan Meatballs. And really, anything else on the menu. Buona Vita just gets it right, every single time.

Okay, I have to talk about the pretzel at Buona Vita… it’s honestly insane. I live in Ocean City and I seriously can’t stop coming here just to get it. It’s soft, warm, perfectly salted, and has that buttery flavor that makes every bite feel like comfort food heaven.
I know Buona Vita is all about the pizza, pasta...(which is also amazing, obviously), but do not sleep on the pretzel. It’s that good. If you’re in OC and haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out.
