“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ I visited Pizzeria Bocce the day after New Year's, and it was bustling with energy--a clear sign of its popularity. Sitting at the counter turned out to be an excellent choice, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the magic happening in the kitchen. The highlight of the meal was their gluten-free pizza. As someone who has tried many gluten-free options, I can confidently say their crust was exceptional--crispy, flavorful, and as good as any traditional dough. The roasted beet salad was another standout, a dish I'll remember for its freshness and perfectly balanced flavors. Despite the busy evening, the service was top-notch. Justin, our server, was attentive, and friendly, and made the experience even better. Pizzeria Bocce is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian with a modern twist. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you'll leave impressed. I can't wait to return! ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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.

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!
