BUFFALO, N.Y. — Bocce Club Pizza is looking to return to its roots.

The owner of the Bailey Avenue location is planning to reopen the location on Clinton Street that closed back in 2011.

He says it needs to be renovated before it can open.

The location will include the full Bocce Club menu including pizza, wings and subs.

Ownership says the shop's history on Clinton Street and the area's recent revival inspired the move.

"[It’s] just exciting what's happening down there and I've been sitting on that building for five or six years. It's just the time. It's conducive we're very close to Larkinville and the timing's right,” said owner Jim Pacciotti.

He hopes to open the Clinton Street location sometime in 2018.
