About Bufala Fowey
On Lostwithiel St in Fowey, Bufala Fowey serves Roman-style sourdough pizzas, thin and crispy, on a terrace that looks out over the river. Burrata appears often, paired with pesto or garlic bread, alongside a vege pizza and rocket salad, and the kitchen finishes with homemade tiramisu. Staff bring food and drinks to the table rather than running a counter service, and seating extends to the back of the venue near the water view. The restaurant is walk-in, with no reservations taken. It opens every day except Tuesdays.

“4 of us and a greyhound came here on a Friday evening early June. We got seated straight away, good choice of pizza's and drinks. Friendly staff, efficient service and would recommend.”
- Charlotte Bean
“Food & atmosphere is lovely, main food order arrived quickly as did our drinks, only gripe was the rushing. My £12 cocktail was there one minute and as the food plates were collected, gone the next. I did not think I would have to have made a distinction that this was not finished with as it was quite literally still 3/4 full. In a similar fashion, the member of staff clearing the food plates shook the bottle of my partner’s larger twice to see if it was able to be taken. This was quite strange as she could have just asked. Staff are polite but constantly rushing customers in and out. This made my partner & I feel a little unwelcome.”

“Thin crust pizzas - bit on the crispy side but the toppings were very tasty. Service was good to begin with and then I think they got fed up of our rather energetic 5 year old daughter and just ignored us, so we left without ordering dessert, shame. Daughter also got in the way of waitress as she cleaned up and the waitress’s response was to brush straight past. Again a shame because we’d enjoyed the place until then. Hey ho.”

“Went at 6.30 so fairly quiet. Delicious vege pizza and rocket salad. Friendly staff.”

“If you fancy a pizza whilst in Fowey then it has to be Bufala. The pizzas are authentic, crispy and taste great. The staff are chipper. The views from the outside seating area on a warm day are stunning. Bufala has the full package.”

Customer Review Summary
Crispy, thin-crust pizza is what reviewers return to most, described as authentic and Roman-style, with a vegetable pizza and a rocket salad singled out. Close behind is the burrata, called excellent, served with pesto or garlic bread, and the homemade tiramisu is praised by one diner. Many eat on the terrace or balcony overlooking the river in the sunshine, and several say the best seating is at the back, since the front looks quiet. Staff are called friendly and fast, and the wine gets a mention. The recurring caveats are cost and pacing. A couple of reviewers call it expensive, though still tasty. One says a cocktail still three quarters full vanished with the cleared plates and a staff member shook a partner's lager bottle to check if it was finished, leaving them feeling rushed. Another family says staff ignored them after their energetic five-year-old got in a waitress's way, so they skipped dessert.
