Buona Forchetta - Encinitas

We had take away. Gluten free pizza crust was good. Sauce was typical So-Cal bland. Spinach salad with balsamic salad dressing had an alarming amount of rosemary. My sautéd spinach had a hard piece of foreign matter in it, which hurt my tooth and ruined my meal. I shared a photo of the object with the manager and he stated that he only needed to reimburse me for the spinach as that was the only part of my food impacted. Clearly he is fine with foreign matter in his pricy food. Not a restaurant that I will return to.

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA ISSUE (non gf crust is great)! My wife and I absolutely love Buona Forchetta! However... It's a three star review because of their gluten free pizza. My wife, who has celiac, claims this is the best gf in all of SD. But for the last four months we have had to order take out because they for some reason have been cooking their gf crust for 5-10 minutes less than it should be. So when we get home, it MUST be cooked in the oven for 5-10 minutes more (and no, it isn't an issue of the pizza cooling down... She actually enjoys cold pizza but the consistency is awful as it is not fully cooked through). Buona Forchetta management, please fix this issue!

This was the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten. The crust was better than many wheat crusts out there. Interesting wines by the glass. Great service. Wish we weren’t leaving tomorrow so I could come back :)
