Buona Forchetta is honored to be featured in The Coronado Times, celebrating the history, craft, and cultural legacy behind true Neapolitan pizza.

“Much of the culture at Buona Forchetta comes from Matteo Cattaneo, Coronado’s own, and the maestro behind all seven of the restaurants. He has built exceptional teams at every location. If you are lucky, you might even find Matteo himself making pizzas. He is the most hands-on owner I have ever met, and it shows in every blistered crust that hits the table.”
