About DOC Pizza & Mozzarella Bar - Southbank

Wood-fired Italian pies arrive with thin, blistered crusts and purposeful toppings at this riverside Southbank retreat. Seasoned diners prize the unyielding integrity of the pizzaiolo—recipes stay exactly as designed, with no ingredient swaps apart from extra mozzarella di bufala. Pair a San Daniele or the walnut and blue cheese pie with a cold Sardinian Ichnusa beer, then settle into a spoon of creamy tiramisu.

  • Strict No-Modification Recipe Integrity: Pizzas are baked as intended with no ingredient swaps, allowing only the addition of mozzarella di bufala.
  • Regional Italian Brews & Wines: Imports like Sardinian Ichnusa and Piedmontese Menabrea complement the wood-fired menu.
  • Wood-Fired Crusts: Bakes feature blistered, charred dough layered with sweet tomato sauce and quality Italian cheeses.

Traditional Neapolitan technique meets heartfelt hospitality on Riverside Quay.

  • Tiramisu

    Topped it all off with their tiramisu, which was smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

  • Cannoli

    Adding to the experience were the cannoli, which were equally impressive (not gluten-free). They had a good texture and a delicious filling, rounding off the meal wonderfully.

    we also had lasagna- life changing!

Before you head over

Key things to know about ordering policies, dining times, and facilities before you visit

  • Plan Around a No-Modification Policy

    Pizzas follow traditional recipes with strict preparation rules; substitutions or topping removals are not permitted, though you can add extra buffalo mozzarella.

  • Book Early and Expect Dining Limits

    The dining room gets crowded and noisy during peak weekend dinner rushes, and tables may come with a 90-minute seating limit. Book ahead to secure your spot.

  • Note the Off-Site Restroom Setup

    If you need the restroom during your visit, ask staff for the magnetic key fob (shaped like a spoon or whisk) to access the external amenities located across the street.
