BBuona Pizza Bar in Oxford

Actually one of the better pizzas in town, and more authentic than the competition. Excellent espresso.

I had a great Pizza, probably my favorite I had all year. It's a small place, but that gives it a more low-key, cosy vibe that I really enjoyed. Staff was lovely, and again great food. When I return to Oxford I will for sure stop by!

Incredibly authentic and delicious pizza! 🍕🤤 All staff welcoming and helpful! Next time I'm in Oxford gonna come again!

The best pinsa (similar to pizza but with another type of dough that is also very juicy) that I have tried, plus practically all of them can be made with gluten-free dough and it has been years since I had one this delicious, it had nothing to envy of the pinsas or pizzas with gluten. You can reserve (the place is quite full at rush hour). If I return to Oxford, without a doubt, I will repeat.

Came in as a solo diner. Service was very quick and my pizza (the Tartufo) was brilliant.

Very good customer service and amazing food. Matteo and Alex were extremely nice too. 100% Recommend!

Alex and Matteo were very welcoming towards us whilst eating. Very good pizza and all round perfect. Recommend highly.

Lovely food as always! I’ve been here so many times and it is always amazing.

The pizza is decent, a bit doughy. The chef was strangely confrontational at the start, although he did serve us the pizza himself later on.

Highly recommend Bbuona. Great atmosphere, amazing service and incredible food. My Grandma isn't able to eat cheese so she's always restricted to what she's able to order from the menu. The Porcini E Salsiccia caught her eye but as it contains two types of cheese she wasn't going to order it. The staff were more than happy to accommodate her dietary requirements and she said that it's the first in a very long time that she has thoroughly enjoyed a pizza! We all had a great time and had a delicious lunch. We can't wait to visit again!

Found this using trip advisor! Excellent food and staff, their cheese was amazing! 100% go back when in area! Cold meat starter was delicious and their pizzas are incredible! You won’t leave hungry! Great value and very friendly team work there.

Fancy an Italian coffee? This is the place. We tried pinza, salad and parmigiana and they were all amazing. Thank you Chiara, we had a truly Italian lunch!

A very delicious pizza place! ! !

Food was lovely but took longer than advertised to arrive. Deliver driver was super quick though

Excellent service and atmosphere

Lovely coffee and great service. This is a great place because the people are friendly and make you feel welcome. Very relaxed atmosphere and nice seating arrangements as well.

Gran ambiente, buena comida y un servicio increíble, Matteo y el equipo eran muy amables y atentos e hicieron que nuestra visita fuera genial.

Compartí la pizza pistacho y pizza salami con mi pareja. Ambos deliciosos. Los postres también se veían increíbles, pero tristemente demasiado llenos para probarlos!

Hubby y yo fuimos con amigos (otra pareja) a una función por la tarde en el Teatro Playhouse. Quería un lugar para comer algo después del espectáculo para una cena temprano por la noche - algo así como una pizza o hamburguesa. Miramos recomendaciones y BBuona Pinsa Bar parecía un buen lugar para comer. En el camino a la Playhouse llamamos para reservar una mesa (aunque esto no habría sido necesario dado que estábamos comiendo antes de las 5 pm) Es un lugar muy casual, personal amable, limpio y mesas en el interior bien espaciado con un montón de asientos en el exterior también. Excelente ubicación para el centro de la ciudad. Todos elegimos una pinsa diferente (como una pizza pero rectangular y la base de masa es mucho más sabrosa) La música de fondo no era demasiado fuerte, mi amigo y yo tomamos una copa encantadora de Pinot Grigio, rojo marido y amigos marido una cerveza baja en alcohol (el conductor). Salimos bien y verdaderamente llenos y satisfechos - yum yum yum! Definitivamente iré de nuevo.

Great selection of pizzas and beers. 10/10 service!

Suuuuper Pizza!! Awesome People!! Great Vibe!! Belissiom!! 🤌🤩

I go there whenever I go to Oxford its not on the main road but I find it near the bus station. Its independent I like independent ones. It was rather quiet when we went on our way to the Kafka Exhibition no croissants but a few little pastries.

We stopped in for lunch and sat on their patio. It was very comfortable. On the less pleasant days there is ample seating indoors. Their menu has all the Italian favourites to satisfy your desires. We settled for two simple dishes: bruschetta & a burrata salad. Both were fresh, flavourful & well presented. Service was polite & helpful. This is a good choice foir sustenance while touring the city.

Had a fantastic time at Bbuona! Opted to sit outside during the visit as weather wasn't too bad but it was very busy. It had a pleasant lively atmosphere. Ordered food and didn't take long before it came. I was thrilled by the portion sizes and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be returning again soon.

While the pizza crust was thin and tasty, there was a lot of oil on the cheese and too heavy for our liking. The desserts were middle of the road.

Really not impressed by their approach to service charges. I did not see any indication on the menu that there was a service charge. It was not mentioned verbally and there is a small notice near the till which you are extremely unlikely to notice before paying. I was not provided with a receipt. Only a few minutes after paying did I realise the discrepancy between listed price and what I paid. When questioned, they said that the additional cost was a service charge. How can they possibly claim that a service charge is optional when you are not even told you are paying it and are not provided with a receipt or a bill? If you need to increase your prices that's fine, but I really dislike the opaque approach taken here. The food was good but the borderline deceptive practice left me with a sour taste.

The waiters were very kind and attentive, and the 5 Formaggi was absolutely delicious.

This place has the best, authentic Italian food in Oxford, hands down. I often have the burrata, either as an appertivo, or on a pizza. Great for allergies and gluten-free as well; I am both and eat here comfortably on a regular basis.

Fantastic pinsa! The twice baked crust is just epic. The staff were all incredibly engaging and clearly love working and being there. Totally recommend. Had a great chat with owner Andi. Only suggestion I have is to use a bit more seasoning but either way it’s an 11/10!!!

BBuona is a highly rated pizza restaurant in Oxford. It is certainly different from Your average chain pizza restaurant. Boasting an authentic and original sour dough pizza recipe. I am a fan of think crust pizza whereas this is very much a deep crust affair. It’s not to say that it was not tasty and many people will rave about it authenticity. Is it the best Pizza restaurant in Oxford? For me no. However it does have quality ingredients and worth a visit.

Everything was amazing. Keep up the hard work, you made up my evening!! The pizza was fantastic, and the cannoli... I never had such a good one since I was in Italy. 👏👏 10/10

the restaurant is quite small and casual but the atmosfere is nice and staff is super friendly. if you like pizza then it is hard to find a better place.

Great food and great service. Highly recommend.

Great little spot with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Service was excellent, but with a quite noticeable language barrier. nonetheless the server was still very attentive and caring The Margherita pizza was, and in no word of a lie, the best pizza I’ve personally ever, EVER had. Just everything about it was lip-smackingly good, moreish even. Some may say it’s just “bread and cheese”, which it is, but if you take into consideration the ingredients and the pure quality that’s put into dish, you most certainly wouldn’t be saying that then. But anyway, i digress. I would highly, highly recommend this place without a shadow of doubt. And i would strongly encourage you to try other dishes off the menu. All rounder 5/5

Picked it on the basis of the reviews and it did not disappoint. I've eaten pizza from Naples to Milan and this was exceptional. Of course the dough was brilliant but the thought about the toppings needs to be celebrated too. Only downside was that I was too full to try their tiramisu 😢 Staff and service were both great despite it being surprisingly busy for a Monday night.

We had a really lovely evening meal here last night - felt like we could have been in Italy! We had a great gluten free pizza, delicious Roman style base, and a parmigiana melanzane. The staff were friendly and service was really quick! Would recommend!

Thank you for your welcome ! At our late arrival (only 1 hour before closing), we had just been ignored in a traditional and yet renowned Oxford pub and were starving : the Bbuona team (especially the super chief !) saved our 1st night in this stunning universities city ! We discovered the Pinsa and keep a lovely memory of this dinner :)

Great food, as well as service. The place is very welcoming and the portion of food is great. The staff were also very nice and polite one being called Kevin. I really recommend this place to come and dine.

I recommend the Margherita Di Bufala, it's delicious! We also really enjoyed the tiramisu, and appreciated the friendly and fast service.

This place is amazing! Some of the best pizza/pinsa I have ever had. Great atmosphere and pizza in 5-10 mins. Absolutely love it! Will be back regularly 😀 I have had to amend my rating after finding out they add a service charge to every order. This is not communicated to you when ordering and you are not given a receipt. It is stated in small writing at the bottom of the menu but this is hard to spot. I don't think this is fair and should be changed!

The location, atmosphere, and service here are top-notch. The outdoor seating is perfect for sunny days, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. However, during my recent visit with two Italian friends, the food fell short of expectations. While the starter was impressive, the pasta was disappointing and didn’t meet even average standards. We ended up leaving most of our meal untouched. It’s unfortunate that the food didn’t match the high quality of the rest of the restaurant experience.

We've been to Oxford many times but today we found this amazing gem of an Italian restaurant ! Pinsa was amazing and staff was very friendly and welcoming and for our time here it was as though we were in Italy ! Thanks to Matteo and we will be back soon!

Good pizza and even better service

Good food, but very weak aperol spritz

Bbuona is best pizza in Oxford served by fantastic people. They are super kind, and provide a wonderfully authentic atmosphere.

Note: kitchen doesn't open till noon; only coffee and pastries before then. Great coffee, delicious pizza (had the salame which was amazing) and salad. Really enjoyed this place. Excellent service.

Delicious pizza and friendly staff 🍕

Really delicious pizza, with plenty of veggie and vegan options. Great campari spritz too!

Absolutely delicious, the pizza and starter we had were fresh and full of flavour, and the tiramisu was an absolute treat. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back!

Super well taken care of by Alex Great food and very well priced Recommended site

We had a wonderful meal and evening with Diego as our server. He made sure our food and seating was perfect.

It's a pleasant place to eat, especially on the outside tables, food and drinks come fast. We had several pinsa and they were all delicious, with a light and crispy base.

We have had several meals at Bbuona and have always enjoyed them. We have tried several different Pizza toppings all of which have been very appetising and we normally have a Side Salad which provides a healthy side dish. We have always been made welcome by the Staff, particularly Chiare who we have spoken with several times. We have also enjoyed " the little lobster " pastries with coffee.

We stumbled upon this place quite by chance while exploring the city, had fantastic pizzas ( really good dough and some new variations and combinations of toppings ) and authentic sicilian cannoli. The food was spot on, the atmosphere was very welcoming and the service was just beyond all our expectations. It was 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 children plus our dog Wednesday and we all loved it. Georgia, who was waiting on our table and her colleagues were exceptional and made it the experience we will remember from our time spent in Oxford. Fantastic overall and we all would definitely recommend.

My experience at BBUONA PINSA BAR was extremely positive. I was there with my family, and the place welcomed us with a warm atmosphere and very friendly staff. Throughout the evening, we were primarily served by Diogo, the Portuguese waiter, who was very professional and attentive, offering useful recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect. I also had the pleasure of speaking with Chiara, the Italian waitress, who was very kind and accommodating, adding a personal touch to our experience. I ordered a Margherita pinsa with burrata, and I can say it was a real delight. The dough was soft and fluffy, with a light crispiness on the outside that provided a nice contrast. The fresh tomatoes and mozzarella were of excellent quality and combined perfectly, while the burrata added a creaminess that made each bite delicious. After the meal, following Diogo’s suggestion, we decided to try the Italian coffee, and I must say it was an excellent recommendation. The coffee was outstanding, rich and full-flavored—a perfect conclusion to an already extraordinary meal. BBUONA PINSA BAR is a place I highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy authentic, high-quality pinsa, accompanied by impeccable service and hospitality that makes you feel at home.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff.

We stumbled upon Bbuona during our visit to Oxford, our lovely server Giorgia showed us to our seats and let me have a sneak preview of the desserts. The aragostina and cannollo did not disappoint! Thank you

Pizza is delicious and well priced, puddings were amazing, the tiramisu is INCREDIBLE! We will definitely be back

Excellent Pinsa, tried the Bufala and Laziale and they were truly an excellent experience, also recommended for nostalgia for Italian pizza 🙂

We were struggling to find somewhere to eat in the city centre. We stumbled across Bbuona and Giorgia really made us feel welcome and relaxed. The food was great and the kids got gratis ice cream and a biscuit. Would definitely recommend.

Quality like in Italy. Excellent burrata. Crispy pinsa topped with the best quality ingredients. Homemade tiramisu, almost better than in Italy. Plus warm service at acceptable prices. Grazie Chiara!

Super friendly staff, authentic delicious pizza and beautiful decoration. 12/10

Perfect place to eat Italian!! Very good pinsa and super friendly staff

Very good Pinsa, very light dough, welcoming and super friendly staff. Highly recommend, the perfect place to eat Italian in Oxford!!! :)))

This place is fantastic! Gluten free options that you can’t even tell are gluten free. Pinsa instead of pizza is definitely the way to go. If you have the pleasure of being served by Giorgia, you are in for a treat. What a fabulous find this was!

The pizza is delicious and the service is great.

Amazing pizza and wonderful service!

The food is absolutely delicious 😋! Georgia,the worker here, is super kind and friendly.🤩 Love the pizza so so so much!!!!😍

I recently dined at this fantastic pizza restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each pizza perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. However, what truly made the evening special was the exceptional service provided by Giorgia. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Giorgia’s recommendations were spot-on, and she ensured our dining experience was flawless from start to finish. If you're looking for great pizza and even better service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Amazing pizza and ultra friendly staff! Just like Rome but in Oxford

I love these place. Georgia helped me choose a delicious pizza and was very nice and helpful. I will come back here with pleasure ❤️

Very nice service. Great service by Giorgio. Her service was amazing. She's the best ❤️

Absolutely amazing service along with wonderful food and a cozy atmosphere. We come here often and after this time will definitely continue. Special thank you to Georgia who was absolutely the sweetest and kindest. Bright smile and nothing but outstanding service. Made us feel weary welcome and like a part of family. Un abbraccio a tutta la squadra da parte nostra, Polacco A hug to the whole team from us, Polacco

We were pleased to be served by lovely lady called Giorgia! She was so talkative what made our dinner even better. We love to chat! She was kind and nice to us. Should get a super star sticker ! ⭐ Well done for having such a great service. That kind of people make a difference! Bravo 👏 Grazie! Kind regards from polish folks!

I have lived in Oxford for 4 years and Bbuona was one of the first places I came to when I got here. The pinsas really are more digestible than other pizzas and the dough is lovely and fluffy. I thought it would be bready when I first saw it, but I actually like them a lot more than the thin Neapolitan-style pizzas. The toppings are always generous and there's a very wide range of pinsas you can get, and they're all quite affordable as well. The desserts (tiramisu, gelato) breakfasts (Italian pastries) and lunches (ciabattas) are also all very delicious. I am not into coffee, but my partner is a coffee snob and says they're very good. The service has always been wonderful (always kind and happy to help but never suffocating or overattentive). The atmosphere inside and outside in the summer is great, my only complaint is sometimes the music inside is a bit too loud and so it can get a bit shouty. I think this place is suitable for everyone. I bring my friends, my family, my in-laws, and my tutors here. The menu is very suitable for children and the waiters and waitresses are always kind to them. One last thing - they used to have Bona brand lemonade and aranciata but now they only have San Pellegrino... please bring the Bona back! I am leaving Oxford soon and I will miss Bbuona very much.

Very good time, delicious pizza and affordable budget!

Een echte aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een Italiaans restaurant in Oxford. Prijs / kwaliteit niets op aan te merken.

Amazing food and really friendly staff ! Highly recommend

We always come here when we want lunch with the kids in Oxford. The pizza is delicious and the kids love the kids menu which is Margarita and ice cream. It's really kid friendly.

Fine, simple, delicious food. Good quality products. Friendly and efficient staff. No-nonsense interior. Well located in Oxford.

Great product and excellent service!!

We ate outside for dinner. The pizza was delicious, and the service was very good and accommodating! The people at the table next to us said they ate there every day they were in Oxford, and we could see why!

I have Celiac and felt very comfortable eating here. The food was outstanding! You wouldn’t know that the pizza was gluten-free! The gf chocolate hazelnut cake of the day was also very delicious. The staff were amazing and extremely helpful, especially Georgia, the lovely young woman taking our order at the counter. She helped me navigate the gf options as well as checking in several times. Matteo was our server was also very gracious and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful experience!! I highly recommend eating here!!

Really friendly service, delicious food (pinsa and cannoli), sat in the sunshine with my campari spritz feeling like I was in Italy ☀️ perfetto!

Great Italian food, both internal and external eating and a great place to watch the world go by. External seating is more comfortable than the internal, and you need to order at the counter inside. The staff were friendly and efficient. I recommend it.

Pâtes excellente et beaucoup de garniture Le personnel souriant et a l’écoute Cadre autour sympathique Allez y vous ne regretterez pas

Delicious food at this great value and very friendly Oxford central Italian restaurant - highly recommended!

Lovely and friendly and very authentic Italian restaurant/ cafe bar, we had a really fun time celebrating our friend’s 60th with 8 of us - all delicious food including their very tasty sourdough pinsa pizzas with plenty to drink and eat all at great value prices served by their lovely staff - fully recommended!

Turned up with a big group of adults, teenagers and children having booked and were hosted brilliantly and enjoyed a lovely meal. Pizzas were delicious.

Went here today with my friend Bezie and had the best pizza ever . Staff friendly and restaurant very clean . The pizza was the best quality and flavour I have ever had and I will highly recommend it to everyone I know . It’s the best pizza in Oxfordshire. I’m hooked and will return again soon

amazing staff, authentic food and the perfect atmosphere. a staple pizza place that i always go back to when im in oxford

Extremely expensive lump of old bread with dried tomato paste on it, rude staff, avoid. & they had the temerity to charge ‘service’ before they’d provided any.

Welcoming environment, excellent service from matteo and chiara . For Italians this is home

While looking for a place to eat we changed course once the fragrand pizza smells from BBuona reached us. We weren't disapointed. The Pizza were fantastic, simple tasty ingredients, and flavours complementing each other ! The staff was fantastic, despite being extremely busy, all were extremely polite, kind and lovely to talk to. Absolutely recommend !!!

The best pizza ever!!! Have been here multiple times and it is my favourite pizza ever. The base is sourdough so you don’t feel awful after having it. The staff are also so friendly and the atmosphere was like being in Italy!!! 10/10 would recommend :)

Visited for the first time recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat outside under the canopy, I had the lasagne and my wife had the pizza. It was lovely. Highly recommended.

gluten free pizza was PHENOMENAL, cooked in separate oven &c, excellent attentive service al fresco (thanks Matteo!) - highly recommended for any coeliacs in oxford!

Very nice staff and great pinsas, but portions have become slightly smaller than in the past.
