Upon returning from WWII my Dad, Dino Pacciotti, started working at the Bocce Club on Hickory St in Buffalo. The club had bocce ball courts in the yard and served drinks & sandwiches inside. In 1946, Mr. Pacciotti seized the opportunity to purchase the club. He soon found an old pizza oven in the basement and started experimenting. He formulated his own unique pizza recipe and Bocce Club Pizza was born. In 1959, Dino moved into the Bailey Ave location in Amherst, seeing the proximity to UB South campus as a big positive. In 1988, our Hopkins Rd location in Williamsville opened, not far from UB North campus.
Bocce Club Pizza uses only the freshest and most natural ingredients from 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese to dough made from scratch and hand stretched daily. We also mix our secret pizza sauce each and every day.
I am very proud and humbled to carry on the “Buffalo Tradition” my father started so many years ago.

The Best Pizza in the World (No Kidding!) by Roger L via Insider Pages on 3/3/2010
Here is a place that has been in business for more than 50 years, selling the same product: Fantastic Pizza. In fact, the pizza is absolutely legendary! I can't say enough about it. Don't forget to order pepperoni on it, as it is special.…
Not recommended by Ilovephily via Citysearch on 12/28/2009
If you eat here and like it you don't know what good pizza tastes like. The pizza was soggy. I will not eat it again.
good pizza--but don't count on them for delivery on New Year's Eve! by violetmouse via Citysearch on 2/28/2009
My family's a big fan of Bocce's on Bailey. We especially love their pepperoni and cheese pizza and have had good food at good prices with this location (and even better service and food at their Hopkins Rd. location) over the years. …
Half-baked is awesome for those living out-of-town by atl30076 via Citysearch on 1/22/2009
Without a doubt, this is the best pizza place in Buffalo. Anytime I come back for a visit, I always make sure to get a half-baked to take back on the plane. The guys are great about packing the pizza for travel. I can't say enough about…

Pizza is ok , Wings are sketchy. by scgdavis via Citysearch on 8/9/2008
I ordered Two Sheet Pizzas and 2-30pc wings. The pizza was a bit greasy for my taste. The wings were dry as if they had sat out all afternoon. I called the company and was treated as if I was trying to steal their food. They finally…
Best Pizza in Buffalo by matkaantytto via Citysearch on 4/7/2008
Best Pizza in Buffalo. Don't go to other Bocce's, just go to the one on Bailey's. I'm even willing to admit it's as good as a NY pizza! They are always efficient. I get my pizza there eveyr Friday, I mean every Friday, and never once have…

GREAT PIZZA by zdawg77 via Citysearch on 3/4/2007
This pizza is incredible!!!! I've been eating it all my life and I have to say it's absolutely great. It's a thin pizza with a great sauce and the toppings are overall very good. My only complaint is that sometimes the pizza crust /…

INCREDIBLE by berry2000 via Citysearch on 6/22/2006

The Sweet Sauce by lizziethebear via Citysearch on 6/20/2006
Bocce's pizza has a unique, sweet, tomatoey sauce. It is my absolute favorite of any pizza sauce. I eat here about 3-4 nights a week since I work a lot and don't have time to fix meals. Sometimes I get it delivered right to my work. They…

I love this pizza. When a boring pizza pie doesn’t cut it come to Bocce Club Pizzeria and get a tray of their goodness. I love just a basic cheese and pepperoni pizza. It is so perfectly made and it always hit the spot. They also have some…
