Buona Forchetta South Park is an award-winning Italian Cuisine restaurant in San Diego, founded in 2011 and inspired by traditional Neapolitan technique. The flagship location is anchored by Sofia, a custom Stefano Ferrara wood-fired oven imported from Naples, which bakes the restaurant's signature Neapolitan pizza using authentic Italian methods. The dining room channels the warmth of a southern Italian home, while the lush, lantern-strung backyard patio — a South Park favorite — makes it a go-to spot for date nights and long dinners with friends. Located minutes from Balboa Park and the shops and cafes of South Park's 30th Street corridor, Buona Forchetta has earned recognition from Gambero Rosso, a spot among San Diego Magazine's Best Pizza, and a recurring OpenTable Diners' Choice award as one of the best pizza restaurants in San Diego.
