Bucceto's Smiling Teeth

This past weekend I went to Buccetos at 3rd street and Highway 46 across from the college mall with two of my friends. The atmosphere was casual, more of a family friendly, cute little Italian pizzeria. We decided to each order dinner salads with ranch to start out. The ranch is absolutely amazing and makes their salads well worth buying. We also ordered breadsticks with cheese and ranch. The breadsticks were hot right out of the oven and the combination of dipping them in the ranch and cheese made them spectacular. We hadn't even finished eating the salads and breadsticks when the pizza arrived. Service was on point! The pizza we got was a medium sausage and pepperoni. This was definitely my favorite pizza I've tried in Bloomington so far. They put the right amount of cheese on their pizza and the dough is cooked perfectly where it just melts in your mouth. The medium sized pizza was perfect for the three of us, we each got two and a half slices and I didn't feel completely stuffed at the end of it. The price was reasonable, we each paid 10 dollars and we got a lot of food for the money. The rest of the menu had these price ranges too, in my opinion reasonable prices. Overall our waitress was very attentive the entire time, and we got our food in an orderly fashion and the bill right away. I would definitely recommend eating here, it is the best pizza in town, service was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual get together with friends.

I visited the Buecceto's Smiling Teeth on 3rd and College Mall the other night and i must say, the pizza was the best I've ever had. I ordered the Razorback pizza and my friend got linguini with alfredo sauce dinner. We each got a salad and some garlic bread too. The pizza was perfect, the cheese was melty but not greasy, the bacon/pepperoni/sausage was all delicious and perfectly positioned on the pizza. My friends alfredo (i stole some) was great too. The noodles were cooked through and the sauce was thick and creamy. All the food was piping hot when we got it which is something you see rarely when the dining room is full.

The whole bill was on the short side of twenty dollars, which is a good price for the food. The pasta dinners are all around ten bucks but they come with a salad and bread so it all evens out. If your bringing a big party i would shy away from here (large pizzas are pretty expensive).  

The waitress that served us answered all our questions and was very pleasant. We got there at around eight so it was busy but our waitress was neither absent or overly annoying. All in all the atmosphere of the restaurant was alright. The dining room seemed a little small and cramped and when its packed full it gets a little noisy. Still not completely sold on the weird/trippy artwork and have no idea what "smiling teeth" has to do with the restaurant but i would definitely recommend this place.

For a chain, pretty darn good pasta. The pizza isn't half bad either. The service and decor aren't much to write home about, especially for the price of the food, but if you're craving pasta, this place will probably do the trick.
