Buona

I’m a big fan of Buona Beef’s beef, combo, and burgers. I actually like the burgers better here than Portillos. It’s a plus that it’s fast casual food that’s also gluten free friendly.

The prices are ridiculous and the value non-existent. No more pizza for kids, all meat-heavy options for kids which is not okay. Gluten-free pizza is same price as regular pizza but literally 1/4 the size. No more soup/salad combo and all salads have meat—kind of defeats the purpose of a healthy salad! The soups are no longer a gluten free option where pasta optional. Buona used to be an awesome stop with something for everyone in our large family, inclusive of food allergies. No longer! We used to eat here 3 times/week, now maybe once every 6 months for one family member. After paying $25 for 3-pita sized pizzas alone, for 3 kids—no drinks or fries included—“pizzas” that were so small they were surfing in the pizza boxes comically—we’ve officially written this restaurant off. Tiny pizzas drowning in way too much sauce to the point they were not edible. My kids hated it for the first time ever. Why change are impose restrictions to the point of losing business?
