Bella Amici Pizzeria & Restaurante (Boca Raton)
***** Bella Amici Pizzeria & Restaurante, 7491 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton. Florida 33487, (561) 862-9290.
Got a real good “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you guys to checkout- Bella Amici Pizzeria & Restaurante in Boca Raton.
Long story short, last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Bella Amici Pizzeria & Restaurante and the joint’s food absolutely killed! Handful of inside & outside tables/ inside counter seating, no frills pizza joint decor, reasonably priced appetizers/ pizzas/ pastas/ hot & cold heros/ entrees/ desserts/ daily specials/ beer & wine menu, open Tuesday-Thursday 11:30am-9pm/ Friday-Saturday noon-10pm/ closed Monday.
Just so you know, Bella Amici’s food totally blew Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats away! I gotta rate this joint right up there with the best “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints that we have eaten in Florida. Just so we are straight- if you’re looking for fancy schmancy- Bella Amici is absolutely-positively not going to work for you! I’m talking here- tee shirts/shorts/flip flops, pizzas, pastas, mussels marinara, lasagna, wings, fried calamari, strombolis, heros, antipasto salad, garlic knots, tartufos, endless Coca Cola refills and loads of napkins!
Let’s wrap Bella Amici Pizzeria & Restaurante up by saying- you can check menu/prices/info at bellaamiciboca.com.
Found this joint a few months ago. Have only done pizza takeout orders. Pizza is delicious.
Jeff,
In 2013 you did a review on a Bella Amici Pizzeria in Delray Beach. Are these the same owners?
You hated the Delray Beach restaurant which went out of business years ago, going through 2 different owners.
Ellen G,
Just had a chance to read your “comment”…
Different owners. Different Location.
Thanks for reading.

As you know I’ve been a Jeff Eats’ reader since 2006.
I wanted to compliment you for the Bella Amici recommendation.
My wife and another couple ate there last night and the food was sensational.
My wife and I have lived in Boca Raton for 37 years and we have eaten in countless Italian joints in Florida. Bella Amici is definitely one of the best.
Thanks,

Not much can compare to the time-honored, Margherita pizza served straight out of a wood-fired oven. From the expertly charred crust, to the delightfully tangy tomato sauce, and the luxuriously creamy mozzarella cheese – every bite is a symphony of flavor. If you’re lucky, your “pizzaiolo” may even sprinkle your pie with a handful of freshly picked basil leaves. While this is the legend of how pizza began, it has evolved to encompass a variety of styles, shapes, sauces, and toppings. That’s why we created this list.
We searched all through the US and Canada to find the best spots to savor a slice, whether you prefer thin-crust or deep-dish, red or white sauce, dozens of toppings or just a dusting of cheese. Several pizza spots, like #1-ranked Sapori Di 786 Degrees in Pasadena, California, are beloved for baking their pies in a wood-fired oven imported from Italy. Others, like Toni’s Detroit Style Pizza in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (#9), are paying homage to the square, blue steel pans that historically held automotive parts in Motor City before becoming a vehicle for cooking crispy pizza.
Whether it’s out-of-the-ordinary, organic toppings at B+C Pizza in Laguna Niguel, California (#8); a Southwest twist on New York style pies at My Slice of the Pie Pizzeria in Phoenix, Arizona (#18); or a vegan-inspired secret that’s worth sharing at Secret Pizza Society in Portland, Oregon (#20), there’s something on this list for every pizza lover. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite local pizza spot.

How we did it: This is an all-time list of the Top Pizza Spots in the US, according to Yelp. We identified businesses in the pizza category, then ranked those spots using a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews.
Jeff,
My wife and I have lived in Boca Raton for over 41 years.
We have eaten at loads of Italian in Florida and I have to tell you that Bella is right up there with the best ones.
Great recommendation.
