Great traditional pizza served in a good environment. Pizzas were fresh, crispy base and great toppings.Parking: Loads of car parks within 5-10 mins walkKid-friendliness: Small kid menu but decent. Kid portions on pizza, lasagne and chicken.

Antipasti and pizzas were superb. I had the Napoli pizza and my wife created her own custom pizza. The staff were efficient and friendly. We will be going back.

Great for gluten free and very accommodating. Really glad to have some gluten free vegetarian options for takeaway. Reasonable prices and good portion size too.

This was 1 of the best pizzas I have ever had, and I have eaten alot of pizza in my life! I had the CAMPAGNOLA pizza on the Charcoal base (from LA BOCCA NERA pizza) which the staff kindly accommodated (and also swapped 1 of the ingredients). It was incredible with generous toppings, the pesto sauce was so yum. So often I go out for a pizza and they forget toppings or get it wrong if you swap something, but this was spot on! Also my partner had a Vegan pizza and she said it was 1 of the best if not best Vegan pizza she has ever had. If we ever come back to bude we will defo come here again. We also had the Veggie Bites for starter and 1 portion was very generious and enough to share.

Great food but nearly knocked myself out on the ridiculously low toilet door, with the kitchen staff right there, watching on, didn't even have the courtesy to see if I was ok. Felt like they were taking the p**s. The door should have a sign above at least. Good food but I feel they're lacking customer care._____Your response is beyond dishonest. Either you've been lied to by your staff or you are one of the sniggering kitchen staff. Ill stand by what I said in my original review: great food, (very) poor customer care.

We ordered last night (28th Sep) and it was my first time trying any food from La Bocca and I'm honestly impressed, the ingredients are high quality and very delicious.I believe I ordered the Contadina pizza, I was blown away by the flavours and taste, as an avid fan of Nduja I had to try this one and the nduja was beautiful, had a great kick of spice to it and the chicken was phenomenal, very tender and succulent!My girlfriend ordered the Deep Fried Pizza Dough (skipping mains and going straight to dessert! Epic!) and I pinched a few bits, it's messy, very, very, VERY messy but oh so worth it! The nutella just brings it to a new level. I'll definitely be ordering from here again when I'm next in Bude, but I'll be trying the Tiramisu next time!Cannot wait to revisit just for La Bocca Pizza!

Not all pizza restaurants are the same! At least not in my opinion. This little restaurant has a ‘vibe’ - a word I don’t use easily at my age. It is small, stylish and youthful. The menu is strictly pizza for the mains but with interesting choices of toppings and with excellent starters. (We didn’t explore the desserts so can’t comment on them). I was impressed that when we asked for the olives with our drinks and before the starters they readily obliged. Somehow this appears to be quite difficult to achieve elsewhere in our experience. The lightly battered veggie starter was also superb, generously sized and perfect for sharing. Both our pizzas were delicious and when asked a take-home box was cheerfully provided. Inexpensive and good value. All in all a great find - recommended.

We have always eaten here whenever we stay in Bude. You can’t book a table it is strictly first come basis, particularly in the high season. The choice of Pizza is fantastic, we are creatures of habit and it has never let us down. The Tiramisu is homemade and divine. A decent choice of beverages. Staff are welcoming. See you soon!

On behalf of my kids and their friends who went for dinner, they absolutely loved the quality of the pizzas. They did a takeout one evening and the 4 of them ate in another evening. I had a takeout pizza and really enjoyed it. It’s a definite recommend from our family.

The base is OK.The tomato sauce is so flavourless and so thin that it's basically like eating cheese on dry bread.The other toppings were also really sparse, and ingredients like sundried tomatoes are kept whole for the "aesthetic look" when really the pizza was desperate for that flavour to be spread about a bit more.All the feta was in the centre and I'm not against a drizzle of oil but again if you have regular cheese plus a rich cheese like feta you need some freshness, acidity and herbs, not more oil.They just really need to get a better tomato sauce and get more generous with their toppings. Put the experience of eating the pizza over the trend to make it look a certain way.I did think the fact they don't mind serving your boxed pizza to the beer garden next door really nice.

For some it may be the best pizza I can't say as mine was cold and a let down on customer services, after asking to check on my order as people that ordered after ours had already recieved their orders. I was rudely told they were online orders yet I was standing right there when they placed their oders. Then to be told I am rude for asking about my order you won't see my custom again.

We turned up after a day out in Bude to find it heaving, but we were told we could go to the Carrier Inn next door and order there and they'd bring it over. We were a bit dubious at first, but glad we did as we and many other families did the same. We ordered the Nero, Etna and Contadina with a starter of veggie bites and oh my word, how delicious. The pizza's were huge, so flavoursome with lots of delicious fresh toppings, we will definitely ordering again before we go back, but hope to get a table in La Bocca itself for the full experience. Yum!
