For River District, Bufala is the perfect place in the neighbourhood where friends and families can gather for delicious food & drink every day of the week. We prepare fresh, scratch-made classic & contemporary pizzas in the Napolitana style - blistered to perfection in our 800 degree stone oven - along with a tasty selection of Italian-inspired small plates and desserts. And as great meals require great drinks, we also offer a delicious selection of cocktails, wines, craft beers, and espresso.

Underground parking is available and is free for up to 3 hours. The entrance is located on the west side of the building off of Sawmill Crescent. Street parking is also available.

We accept reservations online up to 6 guests. If you are looking to book a larger group, please contact us directly 604-423-9594 or riverdistrict@bufala.ca

    Absolutely loved the experience. It was our first time dining but wont be the last. Loved the food, every dish was excellent , only ice cream sandwich was a miss, didn't work its magic for us. Tiramisu, fantastic, pizzas 🍕 excellent, burrata farfalle delighful, meatballs amazing , negronis, coffee all were lovely and we had a great time . I must commend on service though, food was great, yes, but the service was just top notch. Both ladies working the room, managers I believe and serving were attentive , excellent, profesional and super efficient. Kudos for service. 👍 I had a spill on my shirt, she went above and beyond to get soda water and tide Pen? This is what service should be all about. Thank you so much who served our table of 5 , forgot to ask your name. You were fantástic.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was a no fuss experience. Amazing food. Bread is delicious. I usually don’t like the tomato sauces, but Bufala has changed that. Reasonable prices. Easy to understand and simple menu. Will be visiting again.
