About

Buonasera New York Pizzeria serves hand-tossed, thin-crust New York-style pizza at 2212 Carmel Valley Rd Suite 1, Del Mar, CA 92014, in a casual setting overlooking the Torrey Pines Lagoon. The restaurant has earned Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite status multiple years running and draws a steady crowd of locals and Torrey Pines hikers looking for pizza by the slice, whole pies, stromboli, calzones, heroes, and fresh salads. Sharing Carmel Valley Road with Villa Capri Carmel Valley just a few doors east, the strip gives Del Mar one of its strongest corridors for Italian food. Standout menu items include the Crime Scene, a white sauce specialty pizza, and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, which reviewers regularly single out as a highlight. Lunch combos featuring two slices and a drink offer a quick, affordable meal, and the kitchen keeps slices rotating behind the counter so wait times stay short even during the weekend rush. The outdoor patio is a major draw, with bar seating, TVs showing live sports, and a mix of shaded and sun-exposed tables where dogs are welcome. Buonasera also delivers to the surrounding Carmel Valley, Sorrento Valley, and even Torrey Pines State Beach, with evening delivery running until 9:30 PM. Morning coffee seekers heading to Bird Rock Coffee Roasters - Torrey Pines next door often return later in the day for a Buonasera slice, making the two shops a natural pairing along this stretch. The restaurant is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, accepts credit cards and NFC payments, and offers free street parking out front.
