    Lasagna and New York pizza
    P L.

    Great service, even better food! Stumbled across this place and soooo happy I did! Tried the salad, garlic knots, pizza, and lasagna... everything was AMAZING! Will definitely be coming back!

    Susan G.

    5/31/25: Short version - solid eatery. Food, service, & atmosphere were all good. Nothing really stood out that I would say "wow!" about. More people popped in for take out than for dine-in. Long version - Bella is a cute little place with a pretty hefty menu. We arrived this particular Saturday for a late lunch; we were the only two dine-in customers so the sole server, Brayden, we had all to ourselves. He was exceptional: friendly & attentive. Appetizer platter: fried, fried and more fried! :-) It had a nice variety of items (the fried ravioli mozzarella were my two favs). I will say the chicken strips seemed a bit tough & thin. Garlic knots: delicious. Small bite-size knots w/ enough garlic to keep the vampires away. Ha! Just the way I like them. Shrimp carbonara: the shrimp was huge & my sister enjoyed it. Bella trio (choose 3 entrees): the eggplant parm w/ spaghetti needed another slice of eggplant & less spaghetti, and the cheese ravioli was a decent portion. For both of these, I will say the sauce was a bit of a let down, in that there did not seem to be a whole lot of flavor / spices to it. All I tasted was tomato. It definitely could use a bit more pizazz to it. The chicken picata was my fav of the 3. You could def taste the lemon. My only critique with it would be the white wine butter sauce was a bit runny. Desserts: I know the lemon mascarpone cake is not made in-house (we saw the box), I'm not sure about the chocolate lasagna. Of the two, the cake was the best because it had the most flavor. The choc lasagna was an Oreo cookie crust, ice cream, & what tasted like normal choc pudding (nothing fancy about it). The two or three other customers that came in for pick up were getting a pizza. Seeing that, if we back to Bella (it's 35 miles away; yes! we drive all over the valley trying new restaurants every week), we will def have to try one of their pizzas next time; perhaps a calzone or hot sub.

    Chicken Piccata
    Joe L.

    Good value and tasty food. The pizza slice are pretty much the size of a small pizza! The Margarita pizza is simply good and the Best with ham is good too. The cheese sticks are a good appetizer and you won't go wrong with just a slice of pizza and wings. We got the wings at medium and it was mild for us. The servers are super friendly and will have full conversations with you or leave you to eating if you so choose. Its a nice spot and will remind you of a New York pizza joint.

    Daily special spinach ravioli

    The people were all nice but $40 for 6 pieces of dry ravioli, a handful of salad, and carbonara that we are pretty sure is bacon and not an egg based sauce is crazy. We were really excited to try this place because of its reviews and our love for Italian food but this was unfortunately very disappointing. The sauce on the ravioli tastes like it came from a $1 can of crushed tomato especially considering the amount of water in the container. Besides all that the salad was great and the people were kind! The place looked cozy and clean.

    Side salad
    Alvina T.

    This place is really close by my friend's house and we were craving pasta! I had read a lot of reviews for this place and was really looking forward to trying it! When I arrived, the lady at the counter took a while to find my order even though I had placed it well ahead of time and we arrived after our estimated wait time. There were a couple tables dining in and it seems like a nice casual spot. I'd be willing to come back and try their pizza which seemed to have gotten good reviews. Unfortunately, my friend and I both disliked our pasta dishes. She got the shrimp scampi which came with 6 small shrimp total on a huge bed of fettuccine pasta with NO SAUCE. The pasta was extremely dry. My chicken piccata was the same. Two thin pieces of chicken breast, equating to 1 whole chicken breast, on top of a huge bed of dry fettuccine noodles with no sauce. There was not a single caper to be found. The side salads were pretty standard. The highlight of the meal was the garlic bread that accompanies the pasta (forgot to get a pic but it was flavorful and delicious) I also got an Italian hoagie and asked for the dressing and mayonnaise to be on the side so that it wouldn't be soggy. Unfortunately they did not do this and I ended up with a soggy hoagie. Very disappointing.

    Baked ziti and garlic bread
    Angelique S.

    Let me start by saying I'm very picky with food. BUT THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !!! I get the baked ziti fried zucchini and cheese raviolis. The baked ziti comes with the most yummy garlic bread and delivery is so quick. Everyone that works here is so amazing as well.

    Have you ever stalked a food truck like it was your ex on Instagram, hoping and praying they would…read morefinally settle down and open a permanent location? And then imagine finding out that said location is INSIDE an incredible brewery. Baby... when I tell you I almost ascended. Hello? Excuse me? Did the pizza and beer gods personally hear my dramatic little prayers? Did they not only bless us with this heavenly combo, but ALSO decide to rotate different pizza specials every single week just to keep me emotionally unstable? Because THEY. DID. I genuinely cannot stop talking about this place. At this point my friends are one more pizza rant away from blocking my number, but I refuse to apologize. Every single time I go, I convince myself this is my favorite pizza... and then next week they drop another masterpiece and suddenly I'm questioning everything I thought I knew about myself. What makes this place so ridiculously good is that they are fearless. They're out here using sauces as bases that other pizza places would clutch their pearls over. Ingredients that sound chaotic on paper somehow turn into the most beautiful, life-altering bite you've ever had. It's giving culinary drag performance. Bold. Unexpected. A little dramatic. Perfect execution. And the brewery vibe? Elite. The energy is fun, relaxed, a little loud in the best way, and honestly the perfect setting to destroy an entire pizza while pretending you'll "just have one slice." Lies. All lies. The beer pairings somehow make every flavor pop even more, which feels scientifically unfair. Also can we normalize restaurants understanding that pizza should be FUN? Because this place gets it. They're creative without being pretentious, experimental without losing quality, and somehow every pie still feels comforting and familiar while also making you gasp like you just heard fresh gossip. At this point I don't even ask what the special is anymore. I just trust them blindly like a toxic relationship, except this one actually delivers happiness. 10/10. Life-changing. Emotionally supportive pizza.

    If you're in downtown Mesa and you're looking to grab a bite to eat and maybe have a drink or two,…read moreyou should consider swinging by Goat and Ram This spot has all the small batch brewery vibes, but is also a very popular pizza parlor. Located on the main drag of downtown Mesa you can eat inside or on the patio. There aren't servers, instead, you order at the front desk. The menu has a variety of options, mostly pizza (both classics and signature pies). There is also a bar area where you can grab a pint or two of local brews The interior was electric with people enjoying pizza, locations, watching the Olympics, and just unwinding for the day. We ordered a salad and a couple of pizzas. The salad came out first, and the pizzas weren't far behind Being a self-proclaimed pizza snob, the pizza was fine. It wasn't overly flavorful, and it didn't blow me away, but it also didn't disappoint. The salad was LOADED with toppings, and I was somewhat impressed there. Unfortunately, polling the group, the beer was slightly lackluster. But again, this spot is a fun vibe and is great if you want to hang out for a bit and enjoy a brewery/pizza parlor type atmosphere Some tips: When you're done with your drinks and meal consider walking down the Main Street and stopping by one of their many bars, museums, and other eateries There isn't a lot of parking off the main drag, but we were fortunate enough to find parking on a few different occasions Cheers!

    My wife and I decided to escape the heat and house and go to Happy Hour…read more We sat at the bar since there was no one there and the day shift bartender was so friendly. After enjoying a drink we settled on the Italian fries, which are addictive they come parm, truffle, parsley and a special aioli served hot it's just incredibly good. Each ordered our own pizza, my wife the pepperoni and I the Margarita done Napoletana style. They were amazing, dough was soft, easy chew, sauces were incredible. We both agreed this place has moved to near the top of pizza places in NE Mesa. What is incredible is no one was there, we had the whole place to ourselves, which we couldn't believe no one was there for a happy hour on a Friday. We will be back soon, you should try it, well worth it.

If you haven't tried their new breakfast yet, it's definitely worth checking out! The prices are really affordable too.

My husband (from New Jersey) has said multiple times that Sal's…read morehas the only pizza in Phoenix that's good - he has high standards, but I agree with him that the best pizza is at Sal's. He usually gets a plain pie (pizza with cheese), which he says is great, and I have had several different kinds of pizza during our visits to Sal's and each one has been amazing - plus, they have garlic powder at each of the tables. The calamari and tiramisu are also fantastic!! The service is always great - our servers are consistently friendly and helpful. The place is super cute and homey and can accommodate both big and small parties. It's a good thing that Sal's is 20 minutes from us, or else we would probably be here at least 3 times a week, something that would do considerable damage to both of our waistlines.

Either way, it was an amazing slice! I typically add some grated parm, Italian seasoning and black pepper, (They have them), this pie needed nothing!!! 8.5 rating. Portnoy scale. Which means excellent!!! The other slice was a Neopolitan cheese slice. With added basil. I love good basil pie. Again, fantastic!!! Scored 8.5.
