Details

A taste of ancient Rome awaits discovery at BBuona Pinsa Bar, nestled at 102 Gloucester Green. This compact, vintage-style café specialises in pinsa, a traditional Italian delight that predates pizza. Its unique oval shape comes from being hand-pressed, and the dough, a blend of wheat, soy, and rice flours, undergoes a long fermentation process – sometimes up to 72 hours. This results in a characteristically light, airy, and easily digestible crust, crispy on the outside and soft inside. BBuona offers a variety of toppings for their pinsas, from classic Margheritas to gourmet options featuring ingredients like burrata and Italian cured meats, ensuring an authentic Roman experience in the heart of Oxford.

Beyond their signature pinsas, BBuona provides a complete Italian café experience throughout the day. Start your morning with an excellent Italian-roasted coffee and traditional pastries, or enjoy a leisurely lunch that might also include salads or oven-baked dishes like lasagna. As evening approaches, it’s the perfect spot for an aperitivo with Campari-based cocktails, Italian beers, and wines. And no Italian culinary journey is complete without dessert; BBuona tempts with classic gelato and freshly piped cannoli, a treat highly recommended by regulars. The friendly staff and convivial atmosphere make every visit a warm and welcoming escape.

Only giving 4 stars because my mom didn't love her pizza but I think it was mostly because she didn't pick a flavor she liked. I got the plain Margherita and loved it. Pizza bread was good. We enjoyed the bruschetta (different from the usual tomato topping) and the strawberry gelato/lemon sorbet were so yummy. Lovely and quick service. We got there maybe around 5:30pm. The place filled up pretty quickly afterwards closer to 6/6:30pm.
