Pizza Buona 百好乐
Long time Gongti staple serves doughy, thick-crusted, American-style pizza, laden with oregano-scented tomato sauce and piles of gooey cheese. The taste is redolent of college all-nighters (complete with nightly RMB 5 beers specials). Delivery service available.

Decent, Consistent Pizza
Don't expect a gourmet pizza but Pizza Buona is perfectly cromulent for delivery. I've been ordering from them for a few years now. They've never messed up my order and I've never gotten a pizza that was damaged on delivery. The pizza arrives prompt and hot. The pies aren't memorable, but they are probably a notch above the US versions of Pizza Hut, Domino's and Pappa John's. Their staff keeps a record of your number and address, which saves a lot of confusion if you have trouble hitting your tones. Pizza Buona is perfect for a weekday when you don't want to cook in or fight traffic to eat out.
You can definitely find better pies at other restaurants, but Pizza Buona is tops for consistency and convenience.

Favorite pizza in the Beijing
Pizza Buona is easily my favorite pizza place in the city. It is mostly delivery, but they have places to sit inside. The pizzas are HUGE, but not as doughy as Kro's Nest. You will certainly have leftovers for the next day and they taste great cold. Even though it is my favorite pizza place in town, it is certainly not the best in town. What Pizza Buona has to its advantage is tasty pizza, great value, and efficient delivery (they keep your number and address on file after the initial call).
The pizza has lots of cheese and is oily as hell, but it is well worth it. True comfort food. It reminds me of bowling ally pizza back in the States. If you live in the Gongti/Sanlitun area, definitely give them a try. I guarantee you will go back because when it comes to delivery pizza, Buona can't be beat.

Proper Buona
The pizza here is big. It's like a plate-to-mouth missile that explodes with flavour. Well done. It's better as takeaway but only for the reason that it comes out of the oven so hot that you'll burn your mouth if you don't wait to tuck in. And you won't wait. Stay safe and get it delivered.

Good pizza, great service
I agree with the reviews below. This place really should be more popular than it is. While Beijing is not exactly a pizza town, Buona's definitely offers some of the better pizzas in the city. They remind me of the style of pizza we get in Australia, rather than the mammoth, cram-everything-on-you-can US style of Kro's Nest.
The staff here are also really polite and friendly. A few weeks ago we pre-ordered during the day for home delivery to a party that night. I was dubious about whether they would remember the order (given what service is normally like in BJ). However, lo and behold that night the pizzas turned up dead on time.
A cool place for a quiet night of tasty pizza.

Hidden Gem
After four months of living in our neighborhood, my girlfriend and I finally decided to try a pizza at Pizza Buona. We weren't so sure because every time we walked by, it was completely empty. Low and behold, the lack of people has become one of the many things we love about it. The decor isn't anything to brag about but it's very comfortable. We've visited them about five or six times now and have had a great experience with the staff and food every time.
As far as pizza, they offer 9" 12" and 16" crusts. A wonderful medium crust that I'm guessing is baked in a fire oven. The prices are on par with other comparable pizza chains. (small=40rmb, large=75rmb) The flavor of the pizza isn't as bold as I'm used to but with some pepper, hot sauce, and/or parm it's just wonderful. I've become a bigger fan of their spicy chicken wings. I loved wings back in America but haven't found any in China that I love. That's until I tried the wings at Pizza Buona(rmb=20). They are thick and full of meat and spice. Just wonderful. My girlfriend always orders the Caesar salad(20=rmb) and allows me to use her dressing for dipping of my wings.
Though we enjoy their food and service, we enjoy the fact that we can go there to eat at almost anytime and not have to share the room with anyone. But the more we eat there, the more we want them to not go out of business. So, if you're looking for a great pizza, wonderful wings, and a getaway from the hustle and bustle of Beijing, please visit this hidden gem. Pizza Buona.
