Pizzeria Bocce

We went and ate on Monday. FOOD WAS AMAZING. (first time eating at Bocce) Our server was Justin. He was awesome!!! My drink was refilled when needed, he paid really close attention to mine and the rest of his tables. Very nice service, friendly interactions and nice guy! fast service as well! food came fast and Justin was really attentive.

A Flavorful Surprise in Cottonwood! --- We had dinner at Bocci and were absolutely delighted. My husband declared it the “best pizza I haven’t had in a long time!”—and he meant it. The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings balanced and bold. Even the appetizer bread won me over—and I rarely give compliments in that category. It was that good. My friend and I sipped on prickly pear and strawberry margaritas, both refreshingly bright and beautifully crafted. Each sip felt like a toast to the evening. The ambiance was relaxed yet lively, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Bocci is a gem—whether you're craving standout pizza, inventive cocktails, or just a cozy evening with great food and company. We’ll be back!

Not only was the pizza incredible but the service was top notch! Our server, Addida, made the experience at Bocce memorable. She was wonderful, kind, and passionate for the food and sharing it with people which made her the best server ever! Regarding the atmosphere, the outside fireplace was such a comfy and warm place to eat our delicious food. Overall, such a wonderful experience, can’t wait to come back again!

We stayed at the Penthouse VRBO RENTAL above Bocce and had a few bottles of wine to-go leading up to the day we had dinner... Easy process to order and they were cheap in our book.. Kind Stranger Cab($33) and Harken Chardonnay($28.50).. We stopped in for dinner our last night in Cottonwood. We hit the Pomadoro & Meatballs which were AMAZING - highly recommend.. We also tried the deviled eggs, which i enjoyed but wife said they were bland... then we ordered the Funghi pizza. Wanted to order a Grinder but will save that for next time wirh a different pizza. All in all good as I'm a pizza foodie... crispy crust overall but a 7 out of 10 for flavor for the Funghi. Not much sauce on that one. We will be back. Then we had the pistachio bread pudding dessert that was a special. HUGE and delectable... Service started out rough due to how busy it was. We sat at the bar on thr outside facing in. Getting drink was slow. Getting appetizers was slow. Then it got slow and service picked up. Not to loud of a place from our view but we weren't inside.

Oh my goodness we had this pizza last night and wow the flavor of that thing! It was so good I didn’t get a picture before we started eating! The pizza was Cire’s and wow with a bit of chili oil it’ll have you stuffed. We also got the artichoke and spinach bruschetta for an appetizer and the roasted beet and arugula salad to start off (pizza was last). All for a great price (Total $55 ish) for two people!

Cute pizza bar. We had the meatball app and Carbonara pizza. Both very good choices. I had the local Flagship IPA and I was very happy with it. Perfect with the pizza. Our service was great. We did have to wait a small bit and that is what you see in the photos- the red seating area in the back. Very comfortable and we were offered water as we waited. Great atmosphere. 2 bar areas, normal bar and pizza bar for addl seating. They do have outdoor seating with misting fans.

I have to give 5 stars because this place earned them. Pizza is hard, I am gluten free and my husband is not. We both ordered a cocktail, I had the basil lemon drop, delicious, and he got the special old fashioned, also delicious. Our server came to the table right away and brought us water while we were deciding on drinks. She took our order as soon as we were ready and the pizza came out very fast. Our server was so great, I have to say the best service we've had in probably 5 years. The gluten free pizza is the best I have had so far anywhere. I would recommend this restaurant, and we will be going back again.

Very nice place to eat and drink in Cottonwood. We did have a bit of a wait, but that's because everyone knows about this place. I had a wood fired pizza. Very delicious! My wife had a salad with fresh veggies. She loved it. Generous helpings. Prices were reasonable as well. Everything here was great. I will definitely be back!

We went on a whim and decided to try this place as we were passing through Cottonwood. WE WILL BE BACK!! We both thought our dishes were scrumptious and raved about it all weekend. Husband also enjoyed the local brews. A must for everyone to try!

We sat at the pizza bar and I was in awe watching their expertise and efficiency!! It was dinner and a show Food was overall delicious! - arugula beet salad was tasty and not bitter - Mediterranean ceviche was not my favorite since it was too creamy and not enough citrus - funghi pizza and the crust was sooo appetizing - chicken pesto tasty as well

Still my favorite spot for pizza in Cottonwood. I come here anytime I come into town. There is usually a wait but there are lots of good bars and shops that are close by that you can walk to while you wait. The servers are always friendly and the food is always good.

Food is always spectacular and it has the best atmosphere out of all the restaurants in Cottonwood. But tonight was over the top because we had a new server by the name of Adida. Spelling might be off but she was absolutely the most personable server my wife and I have had anywhere, period! She is from Poland and was just a delight from start to finish. Great service and loads of personality which was genuine and just plain fun to chat with. I will ask for her anytime we go there. Joe B

Ok heard some rumors about how good this place was, so we went. Rumors are true. Everything is great. The garden mule is sooo good. We had the meatballs. Super tasty. We had two pizzas. One the meat and one was the daily special. They both were so good. Our server was super awesome. Wish I could remember her name. The building is great and we sat at pizza bar and it was fun to watch them cook.

Service was great. Cute location. Fungi Pizza was the bomb. As was the Beet Salad and the Deviled Eggs. Not a big fan of the Edamame or the Chicken Meatballs.

I came into this location with The Things and a companion on December 19th, 2023, after a day of fun in Sedona. This location was recommended to me by my fellow OCA Hannah "Vin Diesel" S. in CO as well as the tour guide we had that day. When driving back to the airbnb, we happened to pass this spot (not intentionally looking for it), and we knew that this was the final sign to actually go in and give them a try. Total $96.03 before tip and fee for paying with CC Bocce Balls There's something about meatballs. Perfect for a versatile, easy meal yet also the perfect star to complete a more involved and homestyle dish. These meatballs are a combination of chicken and sausage and have a rustic taste. This dish is warm, saucy, cheesy as well as tangy. The addition of the garlic bread makes the dish a hearty appetizer. Deviled Eggs An Italian twist on traditional deviled eggs is done by adding basil to the egg yolks and topping them with crumbled and crisp pancetta. These eggs were light and flavorful, and each ingredient used to make this dish to include: fresh basil, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and pancetta blended together wonderfully (I assume that's what these are made with, this is what could be tasted in the eggs). Aside from the taste, the presentation of these eggs was so creative and certainly deserves a mention (see the attached photos in this review). Edamame These are a great representation of spiced edamame. These edamame seeds are both crunchy and salty. The addition of calabrese peppers to the pods gives the edamame some heat. As a former Siclian resident, I used to buy these types of peppers on a weekly basis to add to my dishes. These peppers are spicy, smokey, and fruity. These mildly fermented peppers are great for adding brightness and heat to various dishes. Meat Pie This pizza had both pepperoni and sopressata on it. It's difficult to find sopressata in most pizzerias in the U.S. For those who haven't had sopressata; soppressata and pepperoni are both types of salami. While soppressata is from Italy, pepperoni is a product of both American and Italian cuisine. soppressata is mainly made of pork parts. Pepperoni, on the other hand, uses a combination of two meat types: pork and beef. Soppressata's overall savory flavor is from dry chili flakes, salt, and assortments of pepper used to season it. In contrast, pepperoni has an overall smokey and spicy flavor, thanks to paprika and other aromatic spices like cloves and peppers. The combination of meats (Italian sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto, and sopressata) gave the pizza a robust and hearty profile. This pizza was a true Italian pizza! Overall, the food here was some of the best Italian cuisine I've had outside of Sicily. If in the area (even if in Phoenix), this place is worth a visit. Mangiare AZ!

I give this place 3.75 stars rounded up. The service was a bit slow and the waitress wasn't very kind. It was that classic Arizonan attitude and blasé disposition that made us feel like we were bothering her by ordering. Go figure. We asked about a few items and instead of getting options, recommendations or suggestions - we'd get flat "No, we don't have that" answers. The manager himself ended up bringing over our food and drink refills after awhile as he noticed service was slow. The food is easily 4 stars. The pizza was delicious! The spinach artichoke bread was very very good, and their hot bread was fresh and crunchy. The pesto/oil sauce could be improved for sure, but it was a nice dipping accoutrement. Restaurant was busy and the hostesses were kind! We'd likely pick up some takeaway if going again.

Wow! Best Italian I've had outside of Italy! Do not miss checking this place out, if you find yourself in this quaint town. Service and atmosphere were great, but the food....wow!

Things have really gone downhill. They are making the Bocce Balls different. They're dry and there was no sauce to sop up with the bread. Our Margarita pizza was so grease covered we couldn't enjoy it without patting with paper towels. Our spinach pizza was the highlight! Most disappointing was that it was my birthday which was mentioned to them but I guess they were so busy they forgot. We used to LOVE coming here. The Manager used to stop by the table and the food was consistently amazing. Maybe it was an off night but truly disappointing considering this was a birthday dinner and once the best pizza spot in town.

Service is really great here! Adida and Emily are my go to's! My poisons of choice are Fresh Cut & Beer-Rita cocktails! Food - Funghi Pizza & or Grinder Sandwich! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Downtown Cottonwood w/great ambiance! Highly recommended!

Amazing! Incredible sss as lads and pizza! We had the beet salad and it was so good and the Cire pizza!! We will go back! The service and atmosphere is wonderful! Our waitress Anita was incredible!

Excellent food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. Great place to eat when stopping in the cute town of Cottonwood.

Best pizza I've had! Had the artichoke app which was great, loved the For dinner we shared the fungi pizza with minimal mozzarella and added red sauce. The pizza chefs are a hoot and sitting at the pizza bar was a lot of fun!

I loved sitting on the patio at Bocce! It was nice to watch people walk by and view the cottonwood trees! The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the meatballs, the eggplant & ricotta panini, and wood fired vegetables insalate. The meatballs and eggplant was my favorite! It was very tender and flavorful. I'm looking forward to coming again and trying different things. I was pretty full, but I'm so curious about the wine cake with poached pears! I'll try to get that next time.

Stopped here after cruising the town (most of which closes by 5, even on a Saturday!) and overall, it did not disappoint! Our server (aboard the Verde Canyon train) recommended it for the best wood fired pizza. They were very busy on a Saturday night, but 25 minutes wasn't too long to wait for an outdoor table. Edyta greeted us shortly after we were sat with ice waters. She was very busy but gave us her attention when needed. She was friendly and outgoing, and asked if we were celebrating anything special. When I hesitated, she said "oh, just love" (which was sweet) and I added it was my hubby's b-day weekend. We started with the Caesar salad to share. It was $12 for what amounted to maybe a half of a romaine head so not very big, but the dressing, croutons and ripe cherry tomatoes were delicious. We ordered the Cire's to share and asked to sub the mushrooms for roasted red peppers. It was very good, but the mushrooms were left on, which was a disappointment and the reason for my 4/5 star. When our meal was finished, Edyta brought out a gelato birthday sundae with a candle for us to share. It was very good and a nice finish to a perfect day.

Very cool cottonwood Pizzeria with gorgeous patio, great service & delicious food. We will definitely go back again!

Stopped in right before they closed. Our waiter was exceptional. Never rushed us and the food was amazing! We ordered the margarita pizza and an antipasto salad. The pizza was as good as I ordered in Italy!! Can't wait to return so we can enjoy the outside fireplace and cruise through our meal.

Bocce's is so good! The meatball appetizer is an absolute must have. The only thing I'd change is adding more cheesy garlic bread to the side for dipping. A pitcher of beer in a great value, especially if you're going to have more than one drink each for a table. The atmosphere is lovely and the interior is well decorated. The servers are friendly and consistent. Love it!

Tonight I stopped by Bocce for a Spinach Pie and Salad. The food was seasoned well and cooked to perfection We had the pleasure to have Edyta as our Server. Her kind bubbly personality was a perfect combination. She asked all the right questions to make our dining experience effortless. We did not need to ask for anything because she already thought ahead for us. If you are planning to dine in I highly recommend you request her to experience a memorable time. What I have been hearing the past 3 years being a server myself in a tourist town. Now experiencing it. We need more servers to be present like Edyta did tonight. Fabulous staff all around very kind and helpful I highly recommend.

Fabulous dinner here tonight. We were able to be seated right away and service was fantastic at every point. I haven't had this type of great service at a restaurant in a very long time, refreshing to see it still exists! The pizza was delicious, definitely worth going back for. The patio looked like it would be a fun place to eat on a warmer evening. They did have heaters outside and fireplaces . This place has great reviews and it's worth the hype.

Our first time here. Inside and outside seating. Friendly service. We order the pizza. I didn't take a picture but this might be the best pizza I ever had. We are planning another trip to cottonwood just for that pizza.

Yo! This place slaps. A must try if you're in Sedona area and want quality food at a regular price. Pizzeria Bocce is about 25 mins from Uptown Sedona but worth the drive. Food - Funghi Pizza- 10/10- rich in flavor, thin crust, good for two to share - Roasted Veggie Salad 9/10- Roasted root veggies and peppers with a delicious light dressing. Wish the veggies came hot - Meatballs - 10/10- Sooo good! Comes with cheesy bread Drink Berry Mojito Mocktail- The best mocktail ive ever had. Perfectly minty, muddle berries, and agave sweetener. Service From start to finish great service. Our waiter gave us plenty of attention and great recommendations.

We heard that this place has the best pizza and atmosphere in Old Town Cottonwood so we gave it a try recently. We met friends there early (5:00 pm) because we learned that's really busy on Friday nights. The server was very nice. My husband ordered a meat lovers pizza for us to share with a meatball appetizer. The pizza was just ok. The cheese and toppings were good but very skimpy. The meatballs were good. For the price we paid we won't go back.

This is such a fun place!!! I love the casual concept upstairs and the traditional dining concept downstairs. The drinks and pizza were pretty good (I'd happily come back for that) but the wait and service was pretty awful. Half the tables were open but there was an hour and a half wait. We found some couches by the bar and were told these were first come first served and full service but it seemed pretty inconvenient for the bartenders and the service showed it.

Every time we are in Cottonwood we hit up Bocce! The bocce balls are to die for and some of the best meatballs I've had ever! I also love their pizzas and the knife and fork ceaser! I could bathe in the dressing it's so good! In the winter the patio is so inviting as they have a huge fire pit! Service is always on point and the vibe is very friendly and comfortable! Definitely check it out if you find yourself up north!

Pizzeria Bocce in Old Town Cottonwood Arizona was a great dining experience! This spot is a whole vibe; it feels very modern and they have a great patio bar and outside dining area. One of the coolest things here is the Strada at Bocce's which is a fun outdoor area that offers small bites, a bar and a gelato shop constructed with shipping containers. Our server was great, my cocktail was very well made, I loved the fondue appetizer and their pizza is made in a wood burning stove. They use top notch ingredients and make it super authentic to Naples, Italy. It was incredible especially paired with their house made chili oil. This place is absolutely worth a visit!

Recommended by a friend/local and we were glad! Crowded yet zero wait. Sits on a corner in Old Town Cottonwood. Gorgeous patio seating flanks the outside with gorgeous flowers, fire features and of course the Sedona red rock backdrop! All of the staff were gracious, efficient, enthusiastic and fun. Sat at the outside bar - it was lovely. Small wine selection but adequate for our purpose. Got pizza; Neapolitan style. SO many options or build your own. It was good... it's pizza. Overall, we will definitely recommend stopping here when in town.

Hubby and I are on vacation, staying overnight in Cottonwood and we picked Bocce off of Yelp. It was absolutely amazing; the best food we have had on vacation, if not in life in general. It was a busy Saturday night but the service was impeccable and timely. We each had one of the large excellent salads and the shared some apps. Don't forget about the apps, folks, they were amazing!! Oh. And we shared a dessert. It was all so good!!!

This place.. wow. Absolutely amazing! Started off with their Bocce meatballs (which came highly recommended) and they did not disappoint. You could taste the sausage in the meatballs which was super good. My partner ordered the carbonara pizza and it was very good. I didn't really get carbonara from it but it was good nonetheless. I ordered the ravioli salad and the mix of pesto and ranch worked! I was skeptical with eating cold ravioli but it just worked. Will absolutely visit again next time I visit Cottonwood.

Really good vibe, cocktails, beers & wine. Also great apps - we had the ceviche and the grilled vegetables. Both served with fresh arugula and then a gluten free prosciutto parm & arugula pizza with chili oil and a chicken/shrimp Calabrian spiced pizza with chile aoili. Awesome!

Spectacular in every way. Outstanding service and the food is amazing. The Bocce Balls appetizer is fantastic. We always get those and split a salad and a pizza. Their signature mozzarella is as good as anything you will get in Italy. I highly recommend Pizzeria Bocce

I tried the grilled artichokes this time and the meatballs with crusty cheesy bread that were delicious! The old fashioned was perfect. I wish they had a location closer to home.

The atmosphere here is great! Wonderful inside seating, but love their outdoor seating with fire pit! The whole place is so cleverly designed! Everything is always so clean here and you just get great vibes overall! This is one of The Haunted Group restaurants, but each one has its own unique style and personality and Pizzeria Bocce will not disappoint! The cocktails are amazing! One of my faves is The Bloody Italian which is garnished with prosciutto, a cherry tomato, and hand-stretched mozzarella, kind of a cocktail-appetizer combo! The Antipasto and Roasted Beet & Arugula salads are so delicious and I love the variety of ingredients! Their pizza dough is so good! My six year old great nephew couldn't get enough of it! We've had the meat pie, prosciutto and arugula, as well as the shrimp and hot peppers pizzas, and they've all been amazing! We'll have to continue working our way down the list! Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere! And don't forget to play some bocce ball!

We had a lovely visit to Pizzeria Bocce while doing some wine tasting in Cottonwood for the afternoon. We sat outside by the fireplace and it was perfect. Nice views, warmth and tasty food options. They have GF pizza options. We chose the Funghi (no red sauce and it was ). Crust was super crisp and the cheese was perfect. Not too much truffle oil and lots of yummy mushrooms. Service was excellent throughout with super attentive staff. We would hit up Bocce again next time we're in Cottonwood for sure!

Exceptional service. Outstanding food. Our first night there we sat at the bar and watched the team make amazing meals- including wood fired pizza. On a recommendation, we shared a grinder (Momma Mia!! Everything off the chain fresh. Our bread made from scratch) Salad was so good. Then a cookie dessert. We left stuffed and had a ball. So amazing that we went back two nights later and sat at the bar/counter again. We shared the carbonara pizza (highly recommend!!) and a salad... and then got the cookie dessert again to share. Our server was also excellent and everyone made us feel like we were hanging with friends. It's our new favorite place and it's right in Old Cottonwood so, when you're done eating you can walk around and shop- which we did. Love this restaurant and their whole vibe. So delicious and so warm and friendly. We will be back!! GO!!!

Well worth coming to Old Town Cottonwood!! The service (Bailey) was outstanding, the food (excellent) was fabulous (be sure to order the appetizer!), the manager checking in (Ryan) is always a nice touch (he's top notch)! Thank you for an all around great experience.

Delicious food, wonderful staff and great ambience. It's a must if you're in Old Town.

Great food ,service and atmosphere. My go to pizza in cottonwood. Also bocce ball and gelato outside

I'm originally from NYC so right away it makes me a pizza snob, but I will say Bocce surprised me. We ordered the Margherita and the Americano. Great crust, good sauce and plenty of cheese. The pies aren't big, 12" give or take so one will fill up a hungry manor woman. Can't speak to the service as it was a to go order. Strada is where you'll pick up your order which is next door to Bocce.

Always amazing from the drinks, salads and pizzas you can't go wrong!! We especially love the half salad half pizza lunch special. This is a great spot and downtown Cottonwood is always fun to explore before or after dinner.

Highly recommend! Packed house on a Thursday evening. Lots of locals who continually told us "best pizza in AZ!" Group ordered the bocce balls (meatballs) and were impressed with them. None of our group would ever choose meatballs, but enjoyed these. Ordered 2 specials (Philly cheesesteak pizza), 1 meat pie, and a gluten free pomodoro. Everyone loved their pizzas! Regular pizzas have a nice fluffy, pull crust that everyone enjoyed. The philly cheesesteak was made with tri-tip and my *meat snob* husband continually raved over how tender the meat was. ***celiac review***gluten free review*** Ordered the gluten free pomodoro. The easiest thing to know is if you get a gluten free pizza when it's brought to the table with regular pizzas you can tell!! I could tell the crust wasn't store bought cardboard-- it was alright, I've had better and worse crusts. Overall flavor was good and I enjoyed getting to sit at a restaurant and eat pizza!

There were 5 of us dining this evening and there was a 45+ minute wait. We put our names in and we were offered the option to sit outside and eat or wait and have a drink. We sat around the fire pit and ordered drinks and an artichoke/spinach bruschetta appetizer. The appetizer was fantastic. The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted. The topping was creamy and delicious. The old fashioned I had was amazing. We decided to stay outside and ordered 3 pizzas. Everyone loved their pizza. The crust was perfect and toppings were a perfect amount. I loved the ambiance, service, food, drinks, dessert, everything!

Our first time here was lunch on Sunday and we'll be back! My ceviche was excellent - fresh and very flavorful. My build-your-own pizza was one of the best I've ever had. The crust was amazing and the goat cheese, Italian sausage, olives and parmesan on the white pizza were first rate ingredients with all of them creating delicious flavors. I'd ordered too much food, so half the pizza came home in a box and made a tasty meal the next day. Similarly, my wife's salad was one of the best she's ever had - and she's had a LOT of salads. The place was packed and we had very professional, friendly and attentive service. The layout and ambience of the restaurant was delightful, too; we're going to come back in milder weather to enjoy what looks to be an amazing patio.

Amazing salads and pizza .. we come from phoenix to eat here . Bill the manger gives excellent service . Wish there was one closer to us ! Open in phoenix please ! I forgot to take pictures too excited to eat .

We usually stop here when in Cottonwood and are never disappointed. Their service and food is great and they pour a mean cocktail. Love enjoying some snacks and drinks on the patio by the fire pit. It's the perfect place to end or start your night!

I reviewed this place many years ago. NOTHING HAS CHANGED! Bocce doesn't miss! The pear & beet salad is very intentional and ridiculously good. The meatballs are light, tender and packed with flavor. The roasted artichoke and that incredible lemon aioli is stupendous. And the drink menu is so thoughtful and reasonably priced! I've had: The Beet Martini - AMAZING Their version a Bloody Mary goes crazy! And the final award of the review goes to their hand pulled mozzarella! Can't wait to get back for more.

We stopped in for dinner after driving past it a number of times. While enjoying a beer flight at a nearby brewery we heard the bartender recommend this restaurant to another patron. It was an excellent selection. The place was nearly full with a large inside seating area and a decent sized outside seating patio with tower heaters and a few large fire pits. We took the last free table indoors. We both ordered individual 12" pizzas from a number of good available choices. I got the meat lovers while Crystal took on a funghi pie (mushroom, cheese, olive oil, hand stretched mozzarella, and parmesan). Crystal also had a berry mojito and I had a beer. Both pies were very good and big enough that we each took half a pie home for dinner the next night.

A buddy recommended this place and I'm so glad he did. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a beautiful young lady. We asked to sit outside and they said we can sit wherever we want. We chose to sit around the fire pit. The waiter came out immediately and took our drink and horderves order. The waiter returned with our drinks and horderves. The horderves were delicious. The waiter returned and took our main dish order. I ordered a chicken pesto panini and it was delicious. My buddies ordered various pizzas and they said their pizzas were delicious as well. The service, food, drinks and ambiance were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place!
