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.

Customer Review Summary
Crispy, thin pizza is the clear draw, with several reviewers singling out the burrata, one paired with garlic bread and another calling the burrata dishes fantastic alongside a homemade tiramisu described as the best had in the UK. The terrace and river view come up repeatedly as part of the draw, with diners noting seating on the balcony or overlooking the water. Wine and antipasti also get mentioned favorably alongside the pizza. Staff are called friendly and efficient by most, though two reviewers describe a cooler experience: one felt rushed as a nearly full cocktail was cleared and a partner's beer was shaken to check if it was finished, and another says staff seemed to lose patience with their young daughter and grew distant, leading the family to skip dessert. Several reviewers do note the cost, calling it expensive but tasty. The recurring close is sunlit terrace seating over the river with pizza and wine in hand.

“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.”
