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.
thebruschettaplanks, 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!

craving good pizza!. ended up at la bocca late last night after being turned away at cibo at 9:15, bummer. i always get therebruschettawhen i go here, but the boyfriend wanted to try something different so we went with the antipasti platter. it was pretty tasty, and they really hook you up. i was almost full by the time we finished it but theres always room for pizza. we ordered the margherita pizza and added caramelized onions and truffle oil. when the pizza came out there was hardly any cheese or basil, some slices didn't have either on them, pretty much just the crushed tomatoes. the crust is tasty but it's limp in the middle, so i had to use my fork for most of it. overall it was a good pizza, i just wish they would have gone a little heavier with the toppings. the service is always good when i come here, and i love the patio, it's always fun to people watch on mill. oh and the desert! you have to try the mint ice cream with chocolate chips. i don't normally like mint anything, but this is the real deal. none of that fake mint flavor, it's really refreshing after your meal.

great food and atmosphere. we have been to la bocca four times and every time we have been very impressed. the pizzas are great. this last time we also had thebruschettaplank (choice of four). what a great way to get four distinctly different and delicious tastings. wish they had another location further north.

it would seem the “urban pizzeria” is a bit of a local catch phrase. sadly, not all urban pizzerias are created equally. we went to la bocca mid-week with a friend who had been there before and was craving thebruschettaplanks, a sampler of four of the e
