Bar Bocce is in a great location in Sausalito right by the water. We were here on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a big group and the service was wonderful. Food and drinks came out on a timely basis and the servers were very attentive. We had a selection of appetizers that were all very tasty. The calamari sautéed with couscous and a tomato sauce base was tender and very good. We also had the meatballs which had pine nuts in it and was very light. I typically am not a fan of meatballs that are too dense. We also had a couple slices of the pizza with pieces of fig and arugula. So good! Last but not leader, the shrimp po boy was excellent. Great way to spend the afternoon - fantastic food, great service, bocce right by the water, and views of sailboats and the bay! read more

The food was amazing!!! Appetizer, main courses, desserts! Omg!!! Beautiful waterfront view and of course Sarah was so lovey and helpful. Another place that I will definitely visit again while I'm back in SF read more

Bar Bocce is such a vibe, it has a beautiful waterfront view and the pizza is unique and delicious. I wouldn't say the pizza is for everyone but I definitely am hooked on it! read more

Amazing staff with superb food. We had the Calamari and a special meat lovers pizza. I would highly recommend Bar Bocce if you are in the area. The staff is great and the view is breathtaking! read more

"oh yeah baby" as the menu says about the meatballs! The best my boyfriend and I have ever eaten. Been there twice so far--shared the meatballs and ordered a pizza. First time we ate the bacon and fontina cheese pizza--yummy. Last nite we ordered the mushroom, garlic, and onion pizza--double yummy. We have not had room left for dessert but hope to try the winesicle and the lemon bar soon. Will take photos at our next visit. Great food, view and service. The pizzas made in their wood burning oven are fabulously thin and crisp. Our kind of pizza--less carbs and fat compared to most pizza yet delicious and satisfying to the last bite! When you hold a slice it stands at attention instead of flopping. Only recommendations: outdoor heaters for your usually foggy and chilly Sausalito weather. Would prefer a larger selection of wines by the glass. read more

Bar Bocce rocks! Came here for a birthday party. We got there right when they opened at 11 and secured one of the large tables on the back patio. It was absolute perfection...sun + bocce ball + reasonably priced carafes of wine + delicious pizza (thin, chewy crust, delicious gourmet toppings) = great afternoon. (As an added bonus, the ferry takes you from SF to Sausalito. No DD needed.) read more

The hapening place in Sausalito? Not sure I kie the crowd, but would not expect anything else there anyway. THe food is pretty tasty and I like to sit at the bar facing the kitchen staring at the friendly cooks...fun place for easy food and drinks. pretty loud but nice setting. read more

I've been to Bar Bocce twice now - and will continue to go back. Their pizza is wonderful - the view is OUTRAGEOUS - the service will do (hence the lack of the 5th star). All pizzas, salads and coffee drinks were delicious. The location, right in the bay/marina is beautiful at sunset. You watch the sailboats dock as the sun sets, play Bocce ball and sit next to the water. There are fire pits to keep you warm after the sun goes down....this place is just COZY! The service is okay - servers a bit too lax but this is such a fun spot for a fun date night or family dinner. read more

Tried the kale pesto pizza with garlic and it was delicious. Something about the crust, soft with a twist of crunchiness. The heirloom tomato salad was tasty but not what I expected. Don't get fooled by the word salad as it was bite sized appetizer. Nice view of the marina but a little over priced. read more

Great place, cool to chill out and play bocce...a bit too crowded on weekends, so hard to get orders placed, but they do a good job of trying to keep up. On a warm day, give it a try for sure. read more

Cute place for a drink by the water after biking over re GG Bridge. Beer & wine only. Grab drinks at the bar and sit outside on the ledge or bench. Bocce court out back. They also have a fire pit. The pizza looked really great. read more

This place rocks. Would be five solid stars, even in spite of its pricyness, if everyone in the bay area did not regularly attempt to squeeze into this tiny restaurant all at once. Seriously tho, if you manage to get a seat by the fire pit, an afternoon of beer and pizza at Bar Boccee is one well spent. read more

Another simple concept by the 2 Bills. They made the best with what they had here and it's basically patio, counter, water and bocce court. The name should really be Wine & Beer Bocce cause there ain't NO BOOZE. Even though the they try to get cute with "vodka" and "tequila" drinks which are not, they have a nice selection of beer and wine. The food is very good (sausage/fennel pizza, blistered shishitos with maldon salt, prawns wrapped in prosciutto with excellent spicy sauce, fennel and asiago salad, A BBLT(bacon, burrata, etc.) made with their very own Panorama bread. The service is challenging because of the inherent layout of the place and the amount of business at the time. This is a twenty something/thirty something place and everybody's drinking. The bocce court is a gimmick and a good one at that. Don't expect to play on a busy day/night cause there's only one court. I just wish I could wait my turn with a real cocktail. read more

I'll preface this review by saying I really enjoy going to restaurants like Bar Bocce (food + drinks + games = sure recipe for an enjoyable experience). I came here with a group of friends after a hike in the Marin headlands. My friend who works a few blocks down the street suggested we try it after rave reviews from her co-workers. We ordered the mushroom crostini for an appetizer which was absolutely delicious. The one qualm was that there were 4 of us trying to share the appetizer which turned out to be just 1 crostini. The waiter probably could have given us a heads up about the fact that it'd be tough to share amongst all of us. In any case, we cut it ourselves into 1/4ths and quickly scarfed it down. We mainly came to try the pizza and we ordered 3 - the kale pizza, roasted chicken, and margherita without oil. My favorite was the roasted chicken because I'm seriously a sucker for good sauce on a pizza. But really what everyone talked about was the kale pizza. Whatever preconceived expectations and notions I had about kale were thrown out the window. I really enjoyed this pizza and would come back to try it again. Having recently dedicated my Instagram to exclusively take pictures of pizza, I'm disappointed I didn't get a good picture of the kale pizza to post because I'm sure it would have been a hit. The picture I did manage to take looks like a green blob on a pizza but it sure tasted way better than it looks. Loved the crunchiness of the kale and thin crispiness of the pizza. It made for the perfect post-hike meal and I felt extremely content afterwards! read more

Service here is incredible, not a place for slimmer wallets, great views though would recommend to people who want to grab a glass of wine someplace beautiful but unless you want to spend a heavy dollar eat before you arrive. read more

For a chilly Sunday in November, their patio was still amazing. A friend picked out the place to celebrate her birthday, and they accommodated our large group nicely. While we opted to dine inside, we couldn't help but return to the fire pit for after dinner drinks and the city/bay view. The food was fine. Their pizzas were slightly more gourmet than most, but nothing to write home about. What I did enjoy was their on-tap wine selection. Our waiter pointed out that all of their wines were local, and "they weren't like boxed wines at all!" We enjoyed that comment. Another positive was that we weren't tripping over kids to get our turn on the bocce court. It might've been the late hour, but we appreciated it. Not to mention, I don't ever expect to see a bocce court with a better view than that! After all was said and done, I would like to return, but hopefully on a warm, summer night. read more

(FYI Disclaimer - this was our experience early summer 2011) Bar Bocce is a great little spot near the Sausalito pier, just a short drive outside of the city. My group had high hopes for a fun, new place we could venture to on future warm days & nights. Enjoyed the outdoor scene with fire pit, beach, and of course bocce! We were quickly waited on as we sat by the fire & enjoyed several beverages while waiting for a table. However there was one major complaint in my experience. Since they didn't take reservations, and the restaurant is fairly small, we waited over an hour before we finally started questioning the hostess about our table. Another 30 minutes later & we were finally seated... A 1.5 hour wait outside the city? Mmm not sure that was worth it. But after all that, the food WAS surprisingly good. Started off with the Salt Cod fritters, and they were very tasty (or I was REALLY hungry from the long wait). Also, we ordered the pork sausage fennel pizza, as well as the potato, egg & bacon pizza. Would recommend the sausage fennel over potato-egg- bacon. Heard great reviews on the meatball sliders, so IF I venture back, would put that next on the to-eat list. Overall the restaurant has great variety in menu, decent prices (app's at ~$10, light pizzas for 1-2pp at ~$15), and of course great atmosphere with outdoor area/activities. Was disappointed in the wait, but guess I'll need to be more actively aggressive? Can't decide between 3 or 4 stars, but am leaning toward 3, since SF has so many stellar options - bridge crossing options must be outstanding! read more

Great view, food was actually much better than I expected! We had the eggplant Parmesan which was so different, light, and tasty. I'd also try the calamari. No idea about the pizzas .. but they look good! read more

Beautiful view with decent food. Service was just ok. It's a great place for lunch on a sunny day. Their outdoor seating is really by the bay and there is a bocce ball court for ppl to play bocce ball. Pizza is a must eat! They also offer free parking for customers. But we got 2 hr free street parking which was pretty easy to find a spot on Wednesday. read more

If you could only eat the view! This place has great ambience, killer view, their own little private beach, and an enticing menu. However, the food is mediocre at best. The pizzas are only half-covered with toppings, and even the covered half is sparse. To eat the mostly-crust that was leftover, we asked for some tomato sauce, which they charged us for. The eggplant parmesan was a tiny portion and completely uninteresting. The warm bowl of olives was ok. Bottom line, come here for drinks and maybe an appetizer, but not for dinner. read more

I loved this place, even in foggy weather. My friends and I sat around the fire on the patio and had a beer. It was quiet and relaxing, with a gorgeous view of the water. Bottled Stella was $6. I could have stayed all day. read more

Bar Bocce - The view - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

Came here after two hours of kayaking around Sausalito bay and the pizza here definitely hit the spot. We had the margherita, which was eh, but the kale pizza with pesto and ricotta was DELICIOUS! The pizza was topped with crispy kale chips with lots and lots of olive oil. My lips definitely had a layer of gloss afterwards. The place is also super fun! Had a bocce court (is that a thing?) and had a beautiful view of the water. Great and affordable little gem. The only thing they should have more of are bathrooms! read more

Fun bar/pizza joint with views of the marina. There is a Bocce Ball court but when walking out from the restaurant there is no sign and everyone kept walking into the game. read more

A fun spot to stop for a drink on the beach or for lunch. On a sunny day you can't beat some bocce right by the water. Also a great place for a quick beer after a long bike ride. Biggest hang-up is that it can be a little pricey and the waits can be tough sometimes. read more

Bar Bocce - A cold beer by the water on a sunny day. - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

True rating is probably 3.5 stars. My friends went on a Sunday after a long day of hiking. It was pretty full and we were initially allowed to sit at the bar (apparently, this is not usually allowed). A table opened up and we moved over. Service started off a little slow and we were left sitting there for awhile, but the man who I presume is the owner or manager pointed us out to the waitress and she quickly attended to us. We ordered the Speck pizza ($18.50), Pork Sausage pizza ($18.50), Roasted Chicken Wings (only 3 wings $14.50), and their Blood Orange Sangria ($9/glass or $36/pitcher). This place is certainly not cheap ($14.50 for 3 wings is kind of outrageous). However, the food came quickly, the amount of food we ordered was perfect for 3 people, and overall it was pretty tasty. The Speck pizza was delicious with burrata, lollipop kale sprouts (kind of a cross between brussel sprouts and kale), and fried capers. The crust was crispy and chewy at the same time. The Pork Sausage pizza was a little soggy. Overall would recommend. There is an outdoor fire pit as well. Only one unisex bathroom for the restaurant. read more

This place f*** SUCKS. I've been here close to 20 times in the past year and just can't keep giving extra chances. Service is pathetic, they cheat and lie fake spirit substitutes on their menu, they are inhospitable and blatantly moronic. The bartenders are typically very charming and nice which is an isolated PLUS. Rarity. In three days on a stay-cation from our residence in the Marina district in San Francisco we came three times and all three times left disgusted. Spare yourselves and go over the bridge to the City, or next door to SALITO'S read more

Great ambience, service, and food! We had the brussel sprouts, lasagna and meatball sliders, all amazing. For dessert we had the affogato and it was also great. read more

This is my favorite go to restaurant now! Great ambiance indoor and out! We sat outside tonight in a cozy corner with overhead heating within view of the outdoor firepit and the beachfront. Splendid view across the bay. Christina, our server, made a delicious pairing of wine with our pizza and lasagna and provided excellent service taking great care to ensure we had everything we desired for our special evening out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The food and service was terrific. Great dinning experience. Will come back again. This was are anniversary and will always be a memorable experience. Thanks you. read more

Great food and the ideal Sausalito ambiance you'd expect from this great little city. Pizza's are solid, as are all the appetizers. Also a great beer & wine selection as well. For those of you visiting from out of the area I could not recommend this place more. Granted I recently just moved to the area, my opinion may change as I try new places, but Bar Bocce will always be a special place to go. read more

I am a longtime Sausalito resident, and have seen many many restaurants open, and close here. I was sad to see the North Star Cafe close (what was there before Bar Bocce). I went with 2 friends and had low expectations. Our server, Allison, was endearingly friendly and helpful. I asked what wine she recommended and she gave me a taste before I ordered. I was interested to learn that all the wine is in casks, there are no bottles. How they found the room for casks (at least 5 reds and 5 whites) and a wood-fired pizza oven in that small space is beyond me. On to the food: the waitron Allison suggested the Caramelized Onion Pizza and it was phenomenally delish. The crust was thin, crispy and to die for. The zucchini appetizer with pumpkin seeds was also delish. The Kobe Beef Meatball Sliders (3) were so much better than anticipated that all 3 of us were swooning. We split everything 3 ways and the amount of food was perfect. We arrived early, had no trouble finding a table, and lingered for a long time. By the time we left, the place was packed. I look forward to when the outdoor fireplace is on (maybe it was but it wasn't when we arrived) and people are playing bocce. All 3 of us want to return and try some more apps. It''s not the cheapest place but if they keep up the quality of the food, it's worth it. It's always good to ask your waiter what's good that night. I miss the garden, as the bocce space is a bit sterile, but hopefully something living might be added. Also, the interior walls could use some art or design visuals. read more

I am a BIG fan of this place! It is close to my sister's and due to it having beach access it is perfect for us to get together with her family, which includes a 2 year old. I have been here multiple times and have always enjoyed the food. The first time I came here was after it first opened and my brother-in-law and I had the meatballs and maybe the calamari. We then split the Marble Potato, smoked bacon and fontina pizza with the egg on top - DELICIOUS. It is a must every time I visit Bar Bocce. Bar Bocce is great for good weather eating and drinking with friends or even when it is a bit chilly outside due to the fire pit outside (although it can get a little toasty if you are sitting downwind). Of course they have a bocce ball court (not for children's use) for something to help pass the time. read more

It was a beautiful day in the city with everyone outside sitting on the side walk patios enjoying the sun and cocktails... and after a short little walk of people watching, my friend suggested to drive up to Sausalito. I very rarely ever venture outside the city especially if it's sunny & relatively warm outside for SF standards. SO of course, I was reluctant to go, why leave the city... I could see it if it was cold and foggy. I laughed when he said to me that there was more to life than the Marina. Well, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when we got to Bar Bocce. The back patio was absolutely gorgeous! It's one of the many reasons why I am so grateful for living in SF; it took us only 15 min to drive up there. It was already late in the afternoon, so it was starting to get chilly, but there was a great big fire pit that provided the perfect warmth. I liked the fun crowd; the scene was not pretentious, but more sporty-casual. While we were waiting for other friends to join us, we ordered the Kale-brussels with almonds salad. OMG that was so amazingly delicious! Apparently the pizza is a big hit there, which smelled and looked yummy. The staff was friendly for being as busy as it was yesterday, but the wait was painful, hence the negative 1 star. read more

Snobs? Maybe, but that's limited to the patrons. People feigning wealth or actually flaunting it? Who cares. Again, it's the patrons only. Long line for the bathroom? check. So that's the bad news. Why five stars? Because It gets ten for the food and twenty for the value of an entree. We have eaten at nearly fifty restaurants in our two months in the bay area and simply have not found better food in california. In fact, nothing comes close. You will eat VERY well for twenty dollars, I promise. Pizza served with a balance of savory, fresh vegetable, fat, gluten, crispiness and texture with harmony between the ingredients and crust. The marinated poultry is simply professional. The team in the kitchen is a real team, and we congratulate them on their work after each meal. Seriously. The view, laid back staff, bocce (if you can sneak on) and outdoor fireplace on a cool day are also fantastic. If you come for the food, you will not be disappointed. This review is to share the joy. read more

Pros: + The view and outside seating areas (with fire pit) Cons: - Food was somewhere between OK and pretty good - They served a weak iced tea read more

This place is great. The pizza and salads are delicious. I've never ordered anything else because good pizza is hard to find. I've eaten inside and outside and it's great both places. I've never sat right next to the bathroom, though. That would probably not be so good. The service is mostly good and always friendly if you start out being friendly (guess what complainers? that works!) On beautiful days and evenings the service can be harried but they're obviously slammed so you just gotta go in with a zen attitude. Sometimes I get proactive about the service cuz they get a bit behind, but hey as long as you're nice about it they don't mind. This place is so fantastic it's worth having to wait an extra 10 minutes for the check sometimes. Relax -- this place is made for it. read more

This is a great casual restaurant with superb setting. It's right on the water front with the bocce court, deck and fire pit. The fig pizza special with goat cheese and balsamic vinegar is delicious. The forno gives it a nice crunch and smoky flavor. Mushroom pizza and sausage and pepperoni pizza are also delicious. The employees are friendly and accommodating. read more

My friend and I went to this place sort of as a last resort. It was close out feet hurt and we were not in the mood for tacos and I am so glad we ended up here! Firstly, the food. I ordered the Seven spiced chicken with local vegetables. It was delicious! I went into this meal expecting to be unimpressed because it is on the more expensive side but I was pleasantly surprised. Chicken and vegetable were cooked to perfection and it had a good flavor profile. My friend orders the margarita pizza and the tomato and cheese where incredibly fresh and the pizza was cooked well. The pizza crust was not your traditional pizza crust it had more of a focaccia bread texture. It was still delicious, but I imagine it would crumble under the weight of a more substantial pizza. We also ordered Sangria it was good nothing more than that. They also do not have hard liquor which I thought was interesting considering it is a bar, but I am not local to the area so I do not know if there is some regulation about that. The service at this establishment was not the best. It took a while to get water when we initially sat down and to get our drinks. They also only have two restrooms. It was moderately annoying sitting next to the restroom line. Overall, I would come back and try something else to see what else that have to offer, but if I received the same service I did in my first visit I would not return a third time. read more

This place has potential, but there are some serious issues with the food and the beer. The beers I've gotten have been flat. The lines must not have enough gas in them, or the kegs are old. On tap beers taste off often, or they run out! It's not like they have a lot on the menu. The olives were caked in fennel pollen. WAY too much. It's a strong ingredient, and all of the other flavors that are supposed to be with the olives get entirely lost, if they were there to begin with. I do like that they serve them warm, and have a nice variety of olives. The bread sticks were okay, but the marinara sauce might as well just come from safeway. It was gross. The calamari with couscous was good. It wasn't amazing, and there was a lot of couscous vs. calamari. I didn't see the pinenuts in the dish, and the capers were WAY too salty. Acid was sorely needed. The shrimp appetizer was disgusting. Overcooked, and the sauce was very spicy. I didn't mind the spice, but the overcooked shrimp were inedible. It's also served with bread sticks, but that's not on the menu. We sent it back, they re-fired it, and it tasted as if they recooked the same shrimp. They were mealy and rubbery, and I'm astonished that they could have made the dish worse. Even the manager said that they were gross after touching them. When a dish comes back for being overcooked, you should at least try to cook it less. The salt cod fritters were good. Moist, nicely balanced, but the aioli with it needed more acid. The margarita pizza was okay. I know they're trying to be different by adding micro basil to it, but it doesn't work for me. Classically, you add the olive oil and basil leaves before it goes into the oven, and it infuses the flavor into the dish. The mozzarella was dispersed as well. The dough was good and hard nice char on it, but this to me wasn't classic at all. Still, I would eat it again if I was in the mood for pizza. † I wish when they served you pizza they would give you parm, oregano, and chile flakes, but it's so hard to get, and they use cheap spices and cheese for garnish. The meatballs are not good. "Yeah baby?" They tasted strange, likely because they were overcooked and dry, and the sauce was one dimensional. We wanted to get the shishito peppers, and were told they were out. When we left about an hour later, they served people next to us the shishito peppers. Uh huh. Makes sense... The bread pudding was actually fantastic. With the vanilla gelato, it was a great dish. Loved the huckleberries. Unfortunately, I won't come back to a place that serves mediocre food and good dessert. The servers are nice, and service was good, but the food really just doesn't leave much to return for. read more
