Spotlight: Bocce Club Pizza
Bocce Club Pizza on Bailey Avenue is a legendary Western New York institution. Founded in 1946, it is widely considered one of the pioneers of the unique 'Buffalo-style' pizza—characterized by a slightly thicker, doughy crust, a distinctively sweet tomato sauce, and an incredibly generous amount of cheese extending all the way to the edges. Walking into the Bailey location feels like stepping back in time. It is primarily a takeout and delivery operation, bustling with energy as employees pull massive, half-baked pizzas from the old-school deck ovens. The smell of baking dough and cup-and-char pepperoni is intoxicating. While they offer wings and subs, the pizza is the undeniable star. It's the go-to spot for Amherst residents watching a Buffalo Bills game or hosting a Friday night family dinner.
