Bufalina

Fantastic pizza, this is the real deal. But no space to sit inside. So, if you can, try to get a seat on the lovely patio and enjoy wonderful food

First, I should note that the pizza was excellent as always. I’ve been coming to this place on and off for almost ten years at this point, and the pizza is consistently excellent, so this review in no way should be construed as maligning the pizza. We came to eat here on a Saturday night, after having made a reservation for six o’clock. We came on time, sat right down. Great. We were ready to order pretty quickly, however nobody came to the table. For almost thirty minutes, we tried to order in vain. By the time we got our drinks, we had been sitting at the table for well over a half an hour. That’s fine though. It was Saturday, pretty busy. These things happen. Eventually, after about an hour, we got our pizza. Everyone way enjoying themselves, having drinks, eating. We got another round of drinks. At this point, we wanted to get the Nutella dessert pie, which is always delicious. So I asked the waitress, when I was finally able to get her attention, only to be told that they were “out of it for the evening.” Two people in the party still had relatively full drinks when, a few moments later, another staff member came and unceremoniously kicked us off the table for another reservation. After having made us wait a half an hour to order. When two members of our party still had full drinks, which were paid for in real, hard cash. I’ve worked in many restaurants over the years, and kicking a table out with drinks they have already paid for is genuinely a bush league move. Anyway, I could overlook even this, but the fact that the waitress lied and said they were out of Nutella pie, and got her buddy to come kick us out right after that is what really bothered me the most. I mean, we spent almost two hundred dollars, only to be rudely ejected from our table and lied to. It was really a very unpleasant experience.

We truly think the best pizza in CT, actually include NYC. True Neapolitan pizza!!! We loved it. Plus, pizza bottom wasn't burnt.

It's a local treasure - tiny, simple, and delicious. There's a small counter inside and a nice eating area outside. They prepare everything -- the toppings as well as the final pizza - in the wood-fired oven.

Best Pizza in the WORLD. Perfect combination of traditional Neapolitan style with a little bit of New Haven char. The dough is perfection. The menu is always fun and inspired, the cocktails as well! With a strong, handsome man cooking the pies to perfection; and a pizza chef who moves like a ninja and is as beautiful as the morning sunrise. Bufalina is not to be missed! Friendly owners, cozy atmosphere, delicious food. Pro tip: call Thursday-Saturday at 11:30am to make sure you are able to get your takeout order in, or to reserve your table for the evening.

I got a gift certificate for this place was really excited to try it so I go to their website to look at my pizza options. ???? Do you think EVERYONE wants fennel, goat cheese, potatoe, chive blossom??? Or only tomato on their pizza??? I understand having those on the menu are important but having normal toppings others like would be nice too. With all this being said sadly even with a gift certificate I no longer have a desire to try this place. I'll stick to my very favorite place in town who know me by name when I walk in warmly welcome me and have some normal topping option along with their wood fired special topping pizzas. Too bad but wish you continued success and consider the gift certificate a donation !

Solid pizza spot! Only ever have gotten take out but haven't gone wrong with any of the pies. Nice vibe, chill staff, and delicious ice cream sandwiches from Hen & Heifer.

New to the city. Was highly recommended this place for pizza as my partner and I are pizza fanatics. BUFALINA did not disappoint. We ordered two pies- tre carni and the patate. Both were very tasty and different. The service is great and the food delicious. The restaurant is fairly small and seats maybe up to 12 people. Very popular for take out as we noticed while we were eating. I like how you sit at the bar and can see everything the workers are doing. It feels very personal and interactive. Already looking forward to our next visit here to try more of their pizza. Would highly recommend and take my friends and family here!
