Buy-One-Get-One-Free Pizzas at Bocca Della Verita

Ahead of this year's Pizza Cup and Festival, we are serving up bite-sized details about this year's participants in a series we call Pizza Mania. Today we bring you Bocca Della Verita.

Since our initial visit to check out Bocca Della Verita, we've been back a few more times and ordered their pizzas for delivery on numerous occasions.

On our first visit we went with a prosciutto e funghi pizza (RMB 58, bacon and mushroom as it was listed as in English) that was surprisingly delicious – the dough not too thin nor too thick, and definitely not too sweet as can often be the case in China. The toppings were generous, and tasted fresh, and the pizza was quite big, with a sprinkling of fresh herbs. For RMB 58, this was a great pizza.

Another that we liked was the diavola pizza, topped off with spicy salami and chili (RMB 58). There are also plenty of options for people who prefer white pizza bases, one of our favorites being the salmon and spinach pizza (RMB 68, cover photo of this article). And for something a little different, try the kitchen's bocconcini (RMB 68), little pizza balls stuffed to the brim with mozzarella and sprinkled with ham.

And if you're living in the neighborhood near their Beixinqiao store, Bocca Della Verita are available to order via Sherpas for fast (almost urgent) delivery: their pizzas travel well, too.
