Stopped by this downtown pizza spot today (Friday around 5pm) and it was the perfect time to go--not too crowded at all. We ordered the Margherita and the Diavola, and both were excellent. The Margherita had the perfect balance of tomato sauce and cheese--simple, fresh, and done right. But the Diavola really stole the show: super flavorful with just the right kick of spice. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the quality was spot on. Easily my favorite pizza joint downtown. Can't wait to come back! read more

Pizza Bocca Lupo is a solid wood-fired pizza spot right in the heart of San Pedro Square. The margherita was excellent: simple ingredients done right, with a nicely charred crust that had great texture. Exactly what you want from a wood-fired pie. We also grabbed a bottle of red wine to go with it, which was a nice pairing. The wine list is limited, but they offer both full and half bottle options, which is a thoughtful touch. Add in the live music happening in the square while we ate, and it made for a really enjoyable outing overall. read more

I had lunch at Pizza Bocca Lupo with a friend yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we sat outside under an umbrella. Since it was a weekday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded and we could enjoy our lunch and our conversation. Both of us ordered the lunch pizza special--half salad and half pizza. The amazing counter person was incredibly kind about checking on ingredients to help me with my food allergies, and because of her I was able to have a delicious lunch. I added extra fresh mozzarella on my Margherita pizza (gilding the lily but oh so yummy). The arugula and field greens salad with gorgonzola and dried cranberries added just the right amount of bite, creaminess, and sweetness to the mozzarella, crushed tomato, and basil on the pizza. The Neapolitan style thin crust was perfect to me, with a nice chew to it. read more

This is such a fun place to visit! Pizza Boca Lipa is located in the San Pedro Square Market, which included several restaurants and a large outdoor space for dining and live music. This is THE spot to go before sharks games to get a good bite and drink. The pizza was baked in a pizza oven and had amazing crust and toppings! I was able to split the pizza with a friend and it was more than enough food. The cashier is also very friendly and was happy to give recommendations! read more

I came here on a Friday night. San Pedro Square was poppin as usual. I needed to eat something with my AMF and I decided to get pizza as a quick meal. I ordered the "Joe's special" $20. It was a combination style pizza on a thin wood fire crust. Ngl it was pretty dang good. So worth, I enjoyed it. The ingredients were well spread out and flavorful. Service was super nice! I forgot my credit card in their machine and when I went to pick up my order, they confirmed with me that I had forgotten my card and they held onto it for me. GREAT SERVICE. THANK YOU. read more

I had jury duty nearby (civil courthouse) and wanted to grab something for lunch. I have been here many times, and while I do think their pizza is good, I thought they had a better variety in the past, since it had a little more esoteric toppings. Still, it's good that this place is still going, and I'm happy to get a thin-crust, quick-cooked pizza. Specifically, I wanted to mention their lunch special. It's a great deal, a half a pizza and salad for about $12. Add a few bucks for a beverage, and it's still a relatively well-priced lunch. Also, I like how it is made fresh to order. The portion size is good for a satisfying lunch but won't overload you. The salad they give you is kind of small, like a side salad size, but it is fancy with cheese and dried fruit. One of the things that I really enjoy about San Pedro Square is that there are a lot of places to sit and eat, outside and inside. Also if you go with someone who doesn't want to get pizza, they can go their own separate lunch and meet you outside to have a seat together. read more

Eh, just an okay margherita pizza. Delicious red sauce but it was so watery that the slices were super floppy (had to eat the slices folded-NY-style otherwise would've made a huge mess). Crust wasn't exceptionally fluffy and was even kinda leaning towards the tough side. Overall not a bad spot if you're craving for pizza at San Pedro Square Market but wouldn't say that it's a must-try. read more

In the heart of San Pedro Square marketplace is this pizza spot. San Pedro Square marketplace is a popular spot to watch sports games with lots of food spots and drinks to order. Food:10/10 I got a margherita pizza and the ingredients are so fresh and the cheese was perfectly melted. There was more than just 2 basil leaves in my margherita, which is a plus too. Their pizzas are not very crispy but they are from a wood oven and I like that the pizza isn't too oily. The pizza is cut into only 4 slices, but shareable amongst two people. The price is fair for the quality and taste. Ambiance: In front of the pizza place, there are high tables and high chairs, there are also booths you can sit at too. You can order on the kiosk or in person. The workers are very friendly. There's a parking garage across the pizza place and plenty of street parking spots too. This is now my favorite food spot in the San Pedro Square marketplace. Looking forward to my next pizza craving!:) read more

Pizza is decent here. Not bad, but not wow amazing either. For me this is the okay I can eat this pizza and I would not be mad. I did have to add additional toppings like pepperoni and garlic, but if the pizza is going to be 19 dollars on its own for an individual size plate, I think you should comp on some of the toppings. Not a cheap pizza to say the least. They were pretty busy, but quick about getting the pizza cooked and again can't complain about the taste. I just need to try more Neopolitan style to actually compare this to. I do love that they use the brick oven and actual wood and fire for all their cooks. San Pedro Square is always a fun and cool place to come and hang out very good place just to come and socialize with your friends and peers. read more

I've been coming here for a few years. At first, it was one of my fav pizza places. In the last 6mos to a year, the quality has tanked exponentially. I've been embarrassed to recommend my friends here. One time I came to eat with a group...recommended this pizza. The pizzas were soggy, floppy, runny and hella skimp on toppings. I've decided to assume that everyone has a bad day and I keep trying and wishing it was like the old quality standard. Today, I asked for extra toppings and extra fire in the oven as I do not like soggy pizza. As you can see by my photos.... Soggy central. This pizza is not worth the "San Pedro Tax" (aka higher prices, etc) The positive, sauce and flavoring is great. read more

Haven't been back in a while. This style of margherita is different from what I remember: less floppy and with speckling on the mozz, presumably from high heat. Kind of unusual, like Neapolitan style leaning towards NY, but I really like it. And the sauce tastes fantastic. read more

Always a great choice for a large, happy hour group. A few pizzas go a long way. They can cut them into 8 slices instead of 4 upon request and provide extra plates and napkins. Three pizzas came out to about $75 - not bad for getting a few bites in for 12-15 people. All the menu options are delicious combinations so I find it's hard to decide (a good problem to have). I am always drawn to the Diavola, but today after having the chance to try three different ones side-by-side I may start gravitating to the Superiore. Joe's Special was not bad, but the mushrooms were not as prominent as I would have hoped. We also ordered the chicken pizza, and all slices of all pizzas were finished despite some people supposedly not hungry. Pretty sure I have also ordered the Quattro Formaggi and Margherita in the past and enjoyed them. read more

I've always wanted to try this spot back in the day during my San Pedro Square nights out but there was always a super long long line every time. This time, we came around 2pm on Saturday and there was no line. I ordered the Joe's Pizza which came with sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms. The pizza was out in minutes. It was good but nothing great. The slices could have been smaller (they cut the pie into 4 big slices). It was pricey and super cheesy which I am not a fan of. All in all, it did the job as we came to San Pedro Square to hang out with friends. In terms of rating the Neapolitan pizza? There is so much better elsewhere. read more

I've had pizza from Pizza Bocca Lupo a few times now and they're always pretty solid. You are able to customize your pizza if you want to but you cannot do half/half of two flavors unfortunately. Their wood fire oven always makes great quality pizza and their dough makes a great base each and every time. The last time I was here, I tried their pesto pizza and added chicken, tomato, and basil with a side of ranch. It took less than 10 minutes for it to be ready despite it being a really busy weekend. Unfortunately, it was overly salty this time around and I did not use the ranch at all. I think sticking to their marinara sauce is the safest bet and just customize your toppings. The staff is always really friendly here and they're very helpful when asking for combo recommendations. They are a great addition to San Pedro Square and I will always come back for more. read more

We had some of the best Napoli style pizza in Washington DC and were craving it, so decided to try this place out. We come to San Pedro Square at least once a month but hadn't tried Bocca Lupo. We arrived shortly after they opened so the pizza took longer than expected (about 17 minutes). I ordered the margherita and husband ordered the Joe's special. The margherita had more cheese than a traditional and the basil strips were small but it was still delicious. It is a 12 inch pizza and I got really full halfway through. The Joe's special had even more cheese and the toppings were not spread evenly but he enjoyed it nonetheless. We enjoyed it outside in the sun while the NFL games were going. read more

This ain't your run of the mill pizza, no sireee...this baby has that wood fire taste to it with thin crust and it hits the spot. The pizzas can be on the oily side--but, hey, it is pizza...and if you don't like that, you can always daub the top with napkins to absorb some of the oil. One downside is that primarily their pizzas are tomato sauce-based, and I prefer more of a selection of sauces and toppings. read more

I came here on a Thursday night before the Sharks game so San Pedro Square was pretty busy. The staff was friendly and I was given a beeper for once my order is ready. It took about 20 minutes for my order to be finished. I ordered the chicken bacon. It has chicken, bacon, onion, chili flakes, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and crushed tomato sauce. The ingredients were fresh. The pizza tasted solid and was cut into 4 pieces. I wished the pizza was cut in more pieces, but I'm pretty sure you can just make that request. The crust was thin and a little crispy. I also asked for a side of ranch which they provided for free. There was a chili symbol next to the name on the menu, but it wasn't spicy in my opinion. I liked the onions on the pizza, but I wished they were more grilled. Solid pizza place! read more

History

Established in 2011.

The owner of Pizza Bocca Lupo was born in Naples, Italy. He spent his early childhood in the city where the Pizza Margherita was invented as well. During his summer vacations he survived on the famous Neapolitan pizza Margherita. Prior to the opening of Pizza Bocca Lupo he became an apprentice at an Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana - Certified pizzeria in Naples. His friends in Naples congratulated him upon hearing of his plans to open up a restaurant with their favorite style pizza. They all said: "in bocca al lupo!" He signed the lease with nothing but a vision; both San Pedro Square Market buildings were bare structures with piles of rubble. Mid September 2011 San Pedro Square Market, San Jose's first urban market, opened. Pizza Bocca Lupo, Vino Vino and the Market Bar were the only tenants. The rest is history....

The pizzas had great flavor and you could tell the ingredients were quality. The Caesar salad was also super fresh and paired well with the pizzas. The vibe inside was lively and great for a night out with friends or even a date. I'm excited to come back once they officially grand reopening so we can try more of the menu. Overall, really solid first impression and definitely worth checking out if you're in Japantown!

I live in the area, so I walk there to pick up the food. Unfortunately both times I did not verify the food before I left, but honestly I shouldn't have to. I am more disappointed that my order has been incorrect the past visits, than me loosing money for extra toppings. Could it be a system error that's not populating these extra toppings? If so please fix it

I went with a large garlic parmesan chicken pizza. Service was prompt and it was super busy there so good thing I called ahead. I didn't realize how popular this spot was.

We ended up waiting close to an hour for a table, but thankfully the location made the wait a lot more manageable since we could just walk around Santana Row and explore while we waited. When we finally sat down, the food definitely worth the wait. I ordered the heirloom pizza, and it ended up being one of the most unique pizzas I've had. The potato and olive oil flavors worked together so well on the pizza, and it felt different from the standard pizzas you can get anywhere else. Everyone else at the table really enjoyed their pizzas too. The area itself is beautiful, but parking can definitely be a challenge. Even with the parking structure nearby, it still took a while to find a spot because the entire area gets extremely busy, especially with the large shopping center across the street adding even more street traffic. If you're planning to come during peak hours or on a weekend, I'd definitely recommend getting a reservation and getting here early to give yourself extra time for parking.

I also tried the Little Italy Detroit style and DET Motorhead style slices. The Detroit crust is thick and fluffy with crispy, caramelized edges and a cheesy center that does not feel overly heavy. The bread to cheese ratio is honestly just right. The DET Motorhead with the sauce layered on top was rich and satisfying without being overwhelming. The Italian sausage was juicy with a slight sweetness and a little spice that added great flavor! Beyond the food, the employees were so nice and attentive.

As a pizza lover, I can confidently say that Its one of the best pizza places in San Jose . From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm aroma of wood-fired pizza, and I knew I was in for a treat. I decided to go with my go-to pizza, the margarita. The pizza was cooked to perfection with a crispy crust and just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The basil leaves on top added a refreshing touch to the overall flavor profile. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, and I couldn't get enough of it. I also tried their pesto pizza, which was equally impressive. The pesto sauce was made from fresh ingredients, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The toppings on the pizza were generous and well-distributed, making sure that every bite had a bit of everything. We also ordered garlic bread which I dint like it. One thing that stood out to me about this pizza place was their small but excellent menu. They clearly focus on perfecting a few dishes rather than having a wide range of mediocre ones. The staff was also friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this walk-up pizza place in San Pedro Square Market. Their wood-fired pizzas are some of the best I've had in San Jose, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items. read more

This coffee shop is nice but the seating is extremely limited. I feel like they could utilize more of their space to accommodate to guests that want to enjoy their coffee instead of frantically having to get there early to lock down a spot. Their coffees are great and really a treat. I would say it's a bit overpriced but the experience is unique. The ambiance and decor of sightglass is very defined though I don't particularly get a friendly vibe. Feels lonesome in there, much like a community that never speaks to one another but drinks the same coffee. read more

I absolutely love this place, leave aside the yummy pizza its the people that work there. I normally take out twice a week and the wait is about 10 minutes, but they are really friendly and keep me busy while I wait. I wish they would take phone orders, it would save me the 10 minutes wait. The price is very fair if you compare it to other places and the fact that one time they made a pizza that was a bit too thin, they immediately made another one and basically gave me one pizza trey for free. Love the place Love the pizza Love the people read more

Super crowded spot, at least when we went for dinner in the evening. It took almost half an hour to get our pizza, which was decent enough. We ordered the pesto pizza this time around. While the toppings tasted very fresh actually, I found the pizza to be a bit on the boring side. Part of the problem in my opinion was the lack of toppings and maybe that's my fault for not trying one of the meat pizzas. All in all it's a decent place to grab a pizza and some drinks for the price, but I still prefer my usual pizza joint to this one. read more

The pizzas here are quite good, with tasty dough and flavorsome toppings. While the Margherita pizza is priced at $17 and the Joe's Special at $19, the pricing might seem a bit off compared to the portions and ingredients. It would be great if the Margherita was priced a bit lower, as a $12 price tag would make it a fantastic deal. Despite this, the pizzas are enjoyable, and if you're in the mood for pizza, it's worth a try. Thanks to the team for the good food and service! read more

Out of all the pizzerias I've been before, this is the best! Food-wise, the pizza they serve is always freshly baked and they do not compromise the ingredients they are using. They observe cleanliness in the whole premise, cleaning the tables right away after the customers have left. With regards to the staff and crew, they are well-trained and cordial. Even though there are some impatient customers, they still manage to deal with it professionally. read more
