If you live in Buffalo and have never tried Bocce's pizza, you're sorely lacking a quintessential native experience. Bocce Club Pizza has been in business since 1946, serving what is arguably the best pizza in Buffalo. The chewy, thick-crusted pies, slathered with slightly tart homemade sauce and gooey cheese, are considered a delicacy to those in the know. Buffalo wings from Bocce's rival all other top contenders in the city. They have a limited delivery area, but with two convenient locations in Buffalo and Williamsville, if Bocce's can't come to you, you can go to Bocce's. Rumor has it that the Bailey Avenue store serves up tastier pies than its Hopkins Road counterpart; but chances are that your taste buds won't recognize any difference after the first bite. There isn't a dining room at either location, so don't count on eating in. Though its typical red-and-white checked decor may feel pretty homey, after one whiff of the smell emanating from Bocce's kitchen, you may argue that it rivals even mom's cooking. -- Kara Sweet
