First time trying this place and we absolutely LOVED it! It was amazing. The food was great, atmosphere was also really good. Our waitress was so friendly. I think her name was Eleanor, not 100% sure! Will definitely be coming back. We really enjoyed how the food didn’t come out so quickly. There was time to eat our appetizer and then ease into dinner.

Nice salads as well as variety of pizzas. We had the margarita and the sausage 12 inch pizzas easily enough for 4 people. Pizza was great and price was reasonable. Definitely will return.

Waiter was excellent. Atmosphere too. Pizza was very spare with toppings. Crust was cooked, but only crisp on the outermost edge, otherwise unusually limp…almost wet. Caesar salad was gooey. Rita choices….ultra sweet but waiter brought extra lemon juice (nice). Olives were good. Meatballs very good. So much room for improvement on this simple, but very hard-to-interpret menu.
And pretty pricey!

As a family that truly loves Italian cuisine, we’ve visited countless Italian restaurants in various regions. Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza immediately impressed us with its modern, stylish interior and its open kitchen — a design choice that suggested both culinary transparency and a commitment to cleanliness. It set the stage for high expectations.
Yet, upon entering, there was an inexplicable sense of unease. It’s hard to pinpoint whether it stemmed from the service itself or the overall atmosphere, but the warmth and friendliness we often appreciate in a dining experience felt somewhat absent.
For our mains, we ordered The Charlie Pizza and The Jenkins Pizza. The Charlie Pizza was, unfortunately, far too salty. A touch of saltiness can enhance flavor, but in this case, it overpowered the dish and made it difficult to enjoy. The Jenkins Pizza, featuring jalapeños for a bit of spice, was fine but lacked any particularly memorable or distinctive character.
The highlight of the meal, however, came in the form of the appetizer: Arancini. These crispy, golden risotto balls, served with a parmesan sauce and leek oil, were exceptional. The contrast of the crunchy exterior and creamy risotto center, paired with the rich and aromatic sauces, was superb — easily redeeming the shortcomings of the pizzas we ordered.
In the end, Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza shows great potential, with a stylish setting and certain dishes that shine. A warmer, more welcoming service experience and better balance in the pizza seasoning could elevate it into a truly outstanding destination.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We got the Caesar salad, meatballs, and pepperoni pizza. Everything was amazing. The service was also a 5/5. Will definitely be returning next time I am in the area.
