    Story of Bova
    Linda S.

    Wow. What a little gem of a restaurant in Five Forks. The reviews were mixed but we thought we would take a chance and I'm so glad that we did. Danny, the Bartender, was our waiter! He kept really busy managing all of the tables. We enjoyed our meals and looked the atmosphere of the place. We aren't here often but would certainly return!!

    Here's Ernie. Not allowed on Patio.

    Stopped by at lunch on a beautiful day. Nobody on the patio. So I stuck my head in the door and asked if Ernie and I could sit on the patio. The server I apparently interrupted cleaning under a table rudely told me that we were not welcome. Ernie, you see, is a dog. A very good dog, but NO dogs are allowed. And now we won't be back when we don't have Ernie. Or meeting our group for dinner. We live just down the street and are there regularly. No more.

    Unfortunately we don't get food Italian food back home in NC and this hot the spot. We had a large group and the kids were able to get their food while we ate our appetizers. The wings got phenomenal and if you like bruschetta just get it. I'm not a fan of the cheese but everything just meshed so well in each bite. The salad with the vinaigrette was to literally die for. I ended up getting the chicken piccata for my meal and it was so much food. But worth every single bite. Our waiter made sure our drinks were filled and that the kids had kids on their cups which was a big bonus!!

    Service was excellent and the lightly crushed Grouper da Vince was exceptional! Highly recommend Boba as they have an exceptional menu with brick oven pizza, broad range of pasta dishes and many tasteful entrees.

    Ready for some PIZZA!!

    Bova has been in the area for several years yet this was the first time we came to eat here. It's on the corner of a ministrip which has Publix grocery store, a hair salon, an insurance office, a pet supply shop, and a few other on other side of grocery store possibly another restaurant and dry cleaner, not positive. So, there's ample parking and even outdoor seating. This reminds me of a sports bar but nicer since not as loud. There's a couple of TV's and even bar seating. You can see there's beer on tap along with bottles and wine options. I was here to have lunch with my son since he loves eating pizza and his dad has several food allergies, especially gluten and dairy, thus we figured we should enjoy it while he's away (it's the one food he misses most). When we looked online, the menu had mention less gluten; yet when we walked into Bova, there were signs stating gluten free dough! Hmm, something to consider as a treat in future. It was relatively late lunch 1:30 pm so not too busy. There was a table with a large party from what looked like same medical office, some folks at the bar, and other tables with older couples and mother and adult son, besides us. We were welcome to find any seats we wanted. There were booths filled and the only other open one had not been cleaned off so we took a table. The waitstaffs were all really chill and laid-back. When I was asked by yelp if this placed had WiFi, I did ask our waitress who gave us the password. We decided to order two 12" pizzas. Pizzas of that size ranged from $11-19. Lots of choices and could build your own. Son doesn't like veggies on his pizzas so we had the Meat Lover and BBQ Chicken. He also ordered a lemonade while I had a glass water bottle that I came in with, that I place my essential oils in. There's no price on the menu for drinks and was $1.99 pretty typical. She had automatically returned with a refill, but didn't come by that much, though with pizza, there's not much to follow-up with . . . We needed two boxes. Could have easily had just one. Both tasted great, crust very thin, toppings flavorful, especially the BBQ Chicken. Not that much chicken but the sauce grows on you to really liking it! There were other food menu options, meals, etc but we didn't bother looking at it. It's a really nice, casual place to eat. Cost a bit higher but you could totally split a pizza if desired. Pizzas are sliced to 6 vs 8. I liked the convenience of the place since we then were able to go grocery shopping and since we were full, didn't buy anything out of hunger. Leftovers are great! Good place to meet with groups or with another friend/partner. And if single, you can sit at bar or table and watch the TV.

    First, I have no idea what these one star people are talking about!! This place has completely exceeded my expectations. Food was beyond amazing! And I'm Italian! We had the wings which were very large, crispy and mmmmm so good! Then we had a panini for dinner. It was very tasteful. I will definitely be coming back.

    Order was for pizza Qty - 2 1 sausage / pepperoni 1 pepperoni/ mushroom Fantastic Thin crust Crust was flavorful Little bit too much flop to the crust but still very good Pepperoni and mushroom were both yummy Sausage was bland like almost every pizza place. Would be a huge upgrade if the sausage had more spice Sauce wasnt overly sweet so it was yummy Only gripe I'd have is it is a bit on the expensive side for pizza About $33 for 2 smallish pies Not so expensive that I would take away a star but yeah seems like it should be more like 14 or 15 each instead but now I'm sort of splitting hairs Pizza was yummy Side note Employees seemed to be careful due to coronovirus situation Big thank you for that!

    Great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the Five Forks area next to Publix. Great food. Good service. Can be crowded at times.
