Bocci Trattoria & Pizzeria

"All I wanted was Chicago style Pizza and all I got was a big ball of cheese. This is not Chicago style pizza. I have 3 pieces that didn’t even have sauce. I have never been petty Enough to actually leave a review but this pizza was bad."

"This review is about the Chicago deep dish pizza. You may have read a few critical reviews of their Chicago style pizza, and they are not wrong. I’ll start off by saying the sauce and the cheese taste great. If you’re looking for a deep dish pizza to remind you of Lou Malnatis or Pizzeria Uno, you will not find it here. This pizza has no flaky crust and no saucy topping over a layer of cheese. I can tell this is a normal pizza dough, cooked in a cake pan, with a literal 1” deep layer of cheese with sauce ladled on top. The crust is nearly non existent. You have to eat the edges to experience any semblance of dough. The cheese though. There is SO MUCH CHEESE on it that the layer under the top did not melt. Look at the pictures. That’s not fettuccine, that’s mozzarella that has not yet melted through. And I get it, there’s no way you can melt all this cheese without scorching the crust. It’s a shame, we’ve tried the Nonna pizza and that did not disappoint. If you advertise Chicago Style pizza, you really need to meet the expectations of a Chicago style pizza. Thicker crust, more sauce, and WAY LESS CHEESE!"

"I loved the crust on the pizza, but taste wise it was average. The restaurant, although it had a health score of 94, wasn't particularly clean and my granddaughter said the bathroom was bad. The entry floor and under the coolers was dirty."

"Bocci had been on my list for a while and they were able to accommodate 10 of us at lunch on Mother's Day. The inside is fairly small, but Melissa was fabulous helping me.with the reservations and making sure we had a place for all of us to sit inside since it was rainy and cold. The food was great and good portion sizes. Wine prices were average/notmal. Our waitress, Leigh, took very good care of us and the bartender made some fruity rum something especially for my niece that other folks seeing it wanted. I was very pleased with the atmosphere, service and food and high recommended a visit."
