Just Jack Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Buffalo gets one mention.... https://www.yahoo.com/food/the-33-best-pizza-shops-in-america-98232642581.html BOCCE CLUB PIZZA — Buffalo, NY Bocce Club looks like a basic, local pizza joint. And it is that, but it’s also so much more, dipping it’s sauce-stained toes into the labels of mom & pop and local legends. Dino Paccioti, the current owner’s Dad, returned from his service as a court reporter for the Nuremberg Trials to work at what was clearly a Buffalo hotspot, Bocce Club — a sandwich shop with bocce courts. He bought the club in ’46, tinkered with a pizza oven he found in the basement, and created his Buffalo-style pizza with flavor-packed, fluffy dough that edges between thin and thick, a sweet, secret tomato sauce, and housemade mozz. Topped with thick rounds of pepperoni that happily pool bites of grease, Bocce’s current pizza more than makes up for the lack of bocce courts we wish we could play on.

Best Player Available Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 !I had a Bocce pizza last time in town. It was my first in years. I forgot just how good they are! You can argue until the cows come home which is best in Buffalo and Bocce will always be in the Discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 At least they got one. Most of these lists pretend Buffalo doesn't exist. Of the ones I've had on this list Bocce Coub and Frank Pepe are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Of all the pizzas on that list only Bocce looked like a pizza. O well put a sardine on a cracker and call it a pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 This is all you need to know about what is considered good pizza in LA: ...but that doesn’t mean they still don’t make some of the best ‘za on the Left Coast, especially their delicious egg, guanciale, escarole, radicchio, and bagna cauda pie.

Punching Bag Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Went to school at UB and rare times I could afford Pizza or convince person buying for group it was Bocce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Of all the pizzas on that list only Bocce looked like a pizza. O well put a sardine on a cracker and call it a pizza. Thought the same. Nothing on that list looked good to me at all. I'm not a fan of the super thin pizza, give me a Chicago stuffed pizza any day.

Chef Jim Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We've been here before but I'm not a big fan of the doughy, sweet saucy, grease filled pepperoni cup pizza you tend to get in WNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinES3 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Bocce is very good. I actually go for Imperial most of the time when I'm in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a traditional Margherita pizza at an Italian restaurant this week and the crust/dough cut the right corner of my mouth. The Pizza was ok. Perhaps a little on the bland side.

A good example of how people are different because to me that's a big selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A good example of how people are different because to me that's a big selling point. For sure. I really like the sauce, the cheese and how there is oregano baked right into the cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
