Sharing Our Love of Great Food, Friends, & Family

Who We Are

Having been a pizzaiolo (pizza chef) his entire career, and working with Buon Appetito's previous owner for years, it was only natural for Alfredo Leonor to take over as owner with his wife Agueda when the opportunity presented itself. Getting to know the business and customers of Buon Appetito for the past five years has been his distinct pleasure and prepared him for this next chapter in his career. 

With Agueda handling banquets and catering, and Buon Appetito's longtime Chef Reynaldo whipping up dishes in the kitchen, Alfredo is pleased to carry on the tradition of great food and customer service that Buon Appetito is known for (as well as still finding time to create the scrumptious pizzeria specialties his customers love!)

The Leonors and their entire staff look forward to continuing to serve great food to their customers. As lifelong residents of Ocean County, the Leonors know it is the best place to raise their family and run their business, and they  hope to make Buon Appetito your home away from home!

New ownership, but the same familiar faces, great food & excellent service!
