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

Yeah Pizza Bocca Lupo is a solid option for San Pedro Square, but overall, I think it's a bit overrated. If you're hanging out with friends in San Pedro Square, it's quite alright. Otherwise I would never come here. The lunch special is a decent deal, otherwise The pizza is quite pricy and the quality is just ok. I would much rather go to slice of homage / square pie guys which is not too far away. Enough talk. read more

Stumbled into the neck of the woods for the futbol game at the good old San Pedro, in search of grub and brewskies. Pizza Bocca Lupo and another caught our eye. Food: A Artisan-style thin crust pizza fresh from the wood-fired oven--no complaints here. This style hits the flavor notes without being too heavy. It's great to share without being too filling while sampling other grub in the area. Vibe: B Service: B 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

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 - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Always a hit. When I'm not making Neapolitan pies at home this is the second best choice for me! The pies are always 10/10! The crust, the toppings, the flavor. Guys there are awesome, the price is right and the oven is just so nice to look at. Try the margherita first! Something so simple yet often made horribly by other establishments. Not at Bocca Lupo! 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

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 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

Pizza Bocca Lupo - Lunch Any Other Pizza Special (Mon-Fri 11am-2pm only) with Diavola pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Decent pizza with quick service. It's a self-serve spot located inside a food court, and the food was noticeably better than several of the other options around it. If you're undecided about where to eat in the food court, this is a pretty safe and reliable choice. 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

Probably one of the worst pizzas I've had -- very sloppy and soggy. I ordered the Margherita pizza, but the cheese was too thick, there was way too much marinara, and the basil came out burnt. I've definitely had much better pizzas elsewhere. read more

Pizza Bocca Lupo - Diavola - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Their diavola pizza is on point! This is my favorite pizza joint in downtown San Jose. Good ambiance too in San Pedro square

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 Bocca Lupo - Did - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

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

Pizza came out in 10 minutes as promised. 5/5 stars Why did I only give it 4/5 stars you ask? Because I'll be coming back to try the rest of the menu. updates to come 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

Pizza Margherita was delicious. Staff was super friendly. San Pedro Square is such a cute, fun area. Lovely outside area with live music.

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

Pizza Bocca Lupo - Margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

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

The service is always so quick and efficient! One of my favorite pizza spots hands down. 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

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

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

Pizza Bocca Lupo is without doubt about my favorite pizza places in the Bay Area. Great sauce and toppings on top of the most delicious dough crust you could find... Located at San Pedro Square Market, it is a great place to go with friends or family, so many options to choose from so everyone can get what they like best. I usually get my pizza here and pick up a drink from Urban Ritual to enjoy alongside it. This time I got their Joe's special pizza with sausage, mushroom and mozzarella. They are always very efficient and friendly with their service. There is plenty of seating, both inside and out, with music and a couple of great bars as well. On many days there will be live music outside on the stage, especially during the summer. During the winter musicians will play inside one of the bars. Sitting outside is really nice during the summer, it feels very communal, the tables are comfortable, and if you have kids they really enjoy running around and exploring the place while you might simply enjoy listening to the music when it's playing. There are great options for dessert as well around the plaza, such as Mochinuts. This pizza place as well as this whole plaza are highly recommended for a good afternoon or evening out. 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
