Buona Forchetta started in 2011 as a craving of Matteo’s to bring some of his native Italy to his adopted home of South Park. He found the perfect corner, built the perfect oven and began his journey to deliver an exceptional and authentic Italian experience to our customers.  Our focus on the simple recipes that Matteo grew up on stays strong. We owe a huge “grazie” to our neighbors who have joined us on this awesome journey, and we hope that you will continue to be part of our story.

Over the past 12 years, Buona Forchetta has garnered both local and international accolades. Most recently, Buona Forchetta South Park won the San Diego Magazine Best Restaurants 2023 “Best Pizza – Critics Choice” award and received the Gambero Rosso Pizza Accreditation 2022.
