la bocca urban pizzeria + wine bar

great pizzas. occasionally they have a music night with some good band playing

hands down!!! the absolute best pizza and wings in las vegas!! being from buffalo myself, it's such a relief that i finally found a place that knows how to serve chicken wings , fat and juicy!! and the pizza also the best i've had! you wont be disappointed!!

food was very tasty, and the drink menu is extensive. the waitress was very attentive and answered all of our questions. she gave great wine recommendations, too!

as a food critic and all around homebody, i recommend la bocca to anyone interested in taking a bite and falling into the jackpot of flavor. the bruschetta plank options are amazing. figs, honey, baby beers and so much more. the pairings are perfect. and you will make this a must

excellent food and great service! we've been here 3 times and never disappointed. good wine selection, interesting food options and decent prices. highly recommend!

highly recommend la bocca! i used to work in tempe, so la bocca was a favorite lunch spot among our office, especially for lunch meetings with clients and out of town guests. i've tried pizzas, salads and bruschetta, and not once was i ever disappointed at la bocca. favorite items are the truffled mushroom pizza and the pear salad. their sangria is awesome also. the vibe of the restaurant is nice/trendy, and they have a great patio for days that aren't too hot.

amazing pasta and drinks. been there twice and will definitely be going back again. the atmosphere is awesome and the service was great. i would give it stars if it was just a hair cheaper but it didn't bother me enough to go any lower than a 4.5

don't go on sunday, the service is lame at best, the red wine was cold, cool, not room temp, cold. it took 20 minutes from time seated to get our drinks to the table. the appetizer took another minutes on top of the 20 minutes, that a total minutes, insane right their. the one server/hostess/greater did the best, the actual waiters was not fir for that title.

awesome bruschetta and margherita pizza. you have to try the bruschetta. and the margherita pizza is awesome. the dough is cooked to perfection. the sauce is perfectly seasoned. and the mozzarella and basil are the perfect touches to this 5 star pizza

love the atmosphere and great vibe! food is always great... well priced quality.

excellente pizza, entrées remarquables, bon service, prix très compétitifs. la bocca a bien agrémenté notre court passage à phoenix par un soir de 42 degrés en août.

don't understand the continual praise. i really want to like la bocca, but on both visits, i've been very underwhelmed. it hits on its assumed goal of coming off as a chic refreshment to the other options on mill, but it feels too pretentious for a pizza joint, even a wood-fired one. the wine and beer selection are very good, but i can't get over how incredibly average their pizza is and how many people throw complements as if it is one of the best pizza places in phoenix. la bocca seems the equivalent of everyone in the room nodding heads in approval because it's unfitting to say that a place with such urban characteristics could be unflattering.

red sangria. word.

delicious pear salad. service is too slow for a lunch, but a great place for evening! i enjoyed the pear and goats cheese salad but portion so big had to take half home!

la bocca urban pizzeria & wine bar is a new, exciting, and unique restaurant located on mill avenue in tempe arizona. if you're looking for a place with great food and a nice glass of wine then you should definitely head to la bocca.
the décor is very chic and even the tableware is elegant. there is an outdoor patio, which is great if you enjoy people-watching and, during this time of year, arizona's perfect weather. the restaurant is dimly lit and has floor-to-ceiling windows. each table has a candle. there is a bar and lounge area and many tables to sit at depending on what you prefer.
the bruschetta planks, which are $12 and come with four in an order, are a great appetizer to start with. the hard part is choosing only four because they all sound great. the mediterranean plate is also a great thing to start out with. it comes with hummus, babaganoush, and house made flat bread.
i'm not lying when i say their pizza is the best i've ever tasted. they have seven different pizzas to choose from, or you can build your own. the pizzas are fairly large and are more than enough for one person. you can definitely tell the difference between the quality of la bocca's pizza and other pizza joints across arizona. la bocca uses fresh ingredients and gives you a wide variety of toppings to choose from.
although i've never tried their sangria, i hear it's amazing. they also have 4 peak's kiltlifter on draft, and it is ice cold. the beers are all reasonably priced, but the wine is a little expensive.
overall, i would highly recommend this place to anyone. if you're looking for a place with a cool and comfortable atmosphere, great food, and fantastic service then you should go to la bocca. you won't regret it!
