There's alot to like about La Bocce. It's super close to the rental car center. It's got a Mortal Kombat arcade machine (free play). It's got the ambiance of a back-east pizza joint, complete with mob movie characters on the wall. It's clean, the owners are usually around. And it's got pretty good pizza. They nailed the crust, it's thin, crunchy and legit. The cheese is solid. But there's something in the sauce that doesn't quite jive with the usual taste profile. This is nit picking tho if you get off the plane, get your rental car, and want a quick slice, you aren't going to do better than La Bocce.

What a shame that such a terrible resturant is located in such a prime space downtown. I feel bad that out of towners who come to see shows at the Byham, Benedum ..etc even have such a horrible resturant near by. I went early in the day and had a portobello mushroom burger and fries. My fries were served ice cold and the portobello was slimey. It was so bad that it turned me off from ever eating portobellos again. I am still recoverying fromr this meal. My bus stop is located right across the street from Bravo Franco, so every night I am reminded or what a digusting meal I ate there. Also their POS machine adds a giant hold to your purchase for example bill was $13.00 but shown online as $53.00(it post for the correct amount however) I went back to question the manager about this. To which they replied. "This is your bank doing this." What a pathetic lie...little did they know that I am employed at the bank that they were attempting to place the blame on. Most like other people instead of complaining to the managment I just silently will never eat there again. Clean it up Bravo Franco. Move out and let some one else who cares about food open up shop.

Tempe strikes again! Our little city is home to another excellent hole in the wall restaurant. Many thanks to the staff at Sombrero's for making some extremely flavorful Mexican food complete with friendly service. This was my first time at Sombrero's and I had a shrimp burrito and really enjoyed it. The rice, chopped onions, cilantro, chipotle sauce, roasted corn and hot salsa made it a highly enjoyable lunch outing. I also had the super nachos with carne asada. Delicioso!!! Sombrero's is a casual spot with 2 large TVs, to satisfy a sports fan's cravings on a weekend. The high quality ingredients, variety of different meats and salsa bar make it an extremely worthy Mexican spot that can become a regular hangout for anyone that wants to try a variety of offerings. I know I will be back and I will bring family and friends too. **Tip 1** Load up with not only salsa, but those pickled jalapenos and carrots at the salsa bar **Tip 2** They don't serve beer, so if you need to wash down your tasty Mexican comida with some beer, order the food to go....or have a few beers next door at Boulders on Broadway and then head over to Sombrero's!

I like this place because of the massive variety of toppings you cna have on your pizza. Chilli beef, Roman artichokes, smoked pork sausage, feta cheese and walnuts, strange things that you've never tried but (but must!). The prices are amazing too, we got a 16 inch for under 11 which fed like 5 of us. It took a little while to cook but that's because they made it fresh. This place can't be beat!
