We tried this restaurant again with friends and the food was very good . I ordered a calzone which has always been great . This time my wife's chicken dish was very good so I wanted to upgrade my rating to four stars Also the staff is very friendly and the service is excellent tables are available inside and outside . read more

Always great food and service with a really nice quaint atmosphere! Sometimes tough to get a table but that's how you know it's a great place! read more

They make you BYOB, then charge $5 to cork your wine, even when it's screw top. It's $3 if you bring beer. They make you bring your own and then charge you a fee when you do. The bread costs extra too. If you order a dessert, theres a $2 fee. The menu isn't physical and has to scan, plus the napkins are cheap paper ones instead of reusable cloth. The entrees aren't good. For an overpriced Italian restaurant, it has few options and way too many added fees for subpar food. Not worth a cent read more

Love this pizza joint! The pizza is unique and reminds you of authentic Italian pizza. We ordered the 4 Formaggi and the Margarita, but added pepperoni. Both were excellent! This restaurant also allows you to BYOB. There is a small corking fee. The different types of pizza offered is pretty extensive, so I am looking forward to going back and trying more! read more

Cucina Bella - 4 Formaggi and Margarita - Pizza Near Me - Bridgeville, Pennsylvania

Excellent. If I could leave 6 stars I would have. The pizza is best in town by a landslide. Everything is super fresh. The meatballs appetizer is amazing. Service is great as well. We went there last week for the first time and we already went back couple times more since. My wife had the salad which was phenomenal. No bar tho so bring your own beer/wine. This place is always busy. Few spots to seat outside as well which is great. Highly recommend. Definitely be back for more read more

Atmosphere is great. Trendy little spot with very friendly staff. The Decour in the restaurant is really cool so it makes for a great date spot. We had four adults and four kids and the staff was very accommodating. We split four pizzas we enjoyed two of the four. Two of which we felt were undercooked and we're just too busy with all of the different toppings and flavors. Sometimes simpler is better. I will recommend the four cheese pizza It has ricotta cheese and it's to die for We also had the Bucci Pizza that a lot of people like but we found it to be too sweet and had too much going on. At the end of the day we spent 100 bucks on four pizzas and had four smile and kids. I recommend this spot for dates and pizza out with the kiddos with some class. read more

Excellent wood-fired pizzas, pastas and apps in a cozy setting with BYO beverage option. Good for either a family meal or a "date night", with friendly service. It's pretty much located in a neighborhood rather than a business area, which is part of its charm but limits the parking area (my only criticism). read more

The service was okay initially, then our waitress disappeared for a while before we ordered. She told us to put our menus on top of each other when we were ready to order. Which we did. We were the only people in the room at the time and we didn't see our waitress (or anyone else) for a while after that. The food was decent. I got one of their many pizzas and Dad got their meatball calzone. My pizza wasn't great, but it was good. Was my pizza worth the $16 Dad paid for it? Not even remotely. The pizza at Blaze is better, faster, and just a tad over half the price for lots more toppings. I'm not against paying more for better food and service, but if you're not getting better food or service, I see no reason to bother. I hadn't checked out the menu before dining there and was surprised that it's a pizza place. Since pizza wasn't invented by the Italians, it was surprising given the name even though one of the pictures scrolling on their website is of dough. I'd never seen warm bread with dipping sauce on a menu before. That was different. Normally with BYOB, you are given glasses, they open the wine bottle, etc. and charge for that. The waitress did not touch either of our drinks other than to remove the bottle & can after we drank them and did not offer a frosted (or any other) glass for us to drink. However, there was a $6 charge on the bill. The fine print of their website tells you that they're BYOB, though the first picture on their website when I went to it was all wine bottles, which implies that one could order wine. It's not like you're going to bring in a dozen wines to choose from if you're bringing your own. I included the picture of the wine bottles on their website (misleading) and a clip of exactly what it says about their BYOB policy - no fee is mentioned. We didn't see it on the menu either, but after the shocking bill, the waitress found it on the menu (after a while of looking and she works there) - it's listed in very fine print at the bottom of the menu after some info about how they add a huge tip for parties over a certain size and if you don't sign your tab (which is crazy, since a signature is only needed for those who contest the bill). The fee for BYOB is $5 per bottle of wine and $3 per beer can or other bottle (it only mentions beer, but clearly they charged for my drink even though it wasn't a beer). read more

You have to venture to the suburbs of the South Hills to grab a table here, but it's well worth it. It sits in a residential neighborhood and is a very quaint restaurant. It's BYOB and their pizza is gourmet, wood fired and delicious! They know what they're doing! They also have a good variety of appetizers, salads and sandwiches. I decided to grab takeout during COVID-19 and it tasted as good as it did in the restaurant. Although it's about a 20 minute drive from the restaurant to my house, my food was piping hot! Kudos to you, Cucina Bella for take out that hit the spot. Definitely give take out or when dining in reopens at this establishment at whirl; you won't be disappointed! read more

A beautiful mix of your grandmas kitchen with modern vibes. Carmen makes the best pizza around and the BYO makes you feel at home.

I've eaten here before but didn't have the pizza. Ordered a few pizzas for takeout and rented a movie. We ordered the Ortolana and the Cucina Bella. These are easily the best pizzas I've had in the area. The crust was near perfect - I like it on the slightly burnt side - burnt probably isn't the right description. The toppings were unique and flavorful. I'd say one per person is a decent portion but if you're really hungry I'd add an app or salad. I'll add photos next time. read more

The food was delicious and excellent service. I had the penne vodka, and it was the best I have ever eaten. Small restaurant and bring your own wine. I also enjoyed a yummy dessert. read more

This is always a great restaurant to come to when I'm home in Pittsburgh. I hadn't been back since I became vegan so I wasn't sure what I would be able to get. The waitress was very helpful and assured me that the pizza dough and sauce are vegan. I made my own pizza without cheese and put a number of vegetables on it. It was very good as always! read more

Have seen mixed reviews and heard about the place, so we grabbed a bottle of wine and decided to give it a try. Arrived a bit after 8 and there were a few open tables mainly for 4+ people. An employee says it will be a few minutes as we need to wait for a 2 top to open. At 8:35 we still were waiting and a 4 top in the corner was open so we asked if we could have that table. They told us they would have to make a special exception. That should have been our first sign of the experience. Ordered meatballs and a pizza. Meatballs came out fairly quickly which tells me they had them prepped for orders. They were ok but not great like some of touted. Then the wait......... for the pizza 45 min later we asked what happened with the pizza. Mind you we were the last table to to be seated so other orders should have been coming out of the kitchen already. 10 more min go by and we call the server over again to say we either need our pizza or cxl it and remove it from the check. 6 more min later she returns with the pizza when we were ready to walk out and the excuse was that the other side of the restaurant was busy. I would say the food quality is worth a pick up order but I won't waste my time on such slow and poor service again. Too many good places to eat that I want to try vs ones that could care less how they treat their guests. We did enjoy some of the pizza when we got home though. Sorry Cucina Bella. This was a complete service FAIL. read more

We ordered pizza and calzone for the first time, and last time, tonight. The pizzas were so cold that if I didn't know better I'd say our orders were cooked hours ago and left to sit. The wife and I like cold pizza, but only after we put it in the fridge. The flavors were mediocre at best. The calzone... you can see below. Simultaneously burned on the outside and ice cold and soggy in the center. It was lacking in any sort of flavor save for some pieces of sausage that will burn out the back of your throat. This experience cost a cool $60 bucks, by the way. It's so disappointing because the place looked so interesting from the outside, but we won't ever come back. 1/5 stars, will order from Domino's in the future. read more

So much more than a just a great pizza shop. Fantastic pasta, and some of the best appetizers in Pittsburgh.

Great food and atmosphere! We brought our own wine. The desserts were delicious! Parking is a little tough.

Great neighborhood pizza place. Pizza's are unique with great crust. Nice atmosphere with attentive staff. BYOB

Love this neighborhood gem! Delicious Italian. The Bolognese, cheese ravioli and Pizza Bucci are my favs! The cellar is really cool especially for events. Highly recommend! read more

Horrriiiblllle food. The food came out cold. Which made the food gross. Have you ever eaten cold pasta? It's not good, in the least. They don't have any alcohol, you have to bring your own which is ridiculous. They charge you a corkage fee which is even more ridiculous. They don't have butter for the bread, are they serious?! They ran out of Tiramisu which is equivalent to Mc Donald's running out of French fries. They have a young man cleaning tables, who is dressed like he just tried to run a marathon, he is sweaty, sloppy and just gross. Did I mention they don't have alcohol????!!! Who wants to go to an Italian restaurant and not have a glass of wine? Even Olive Garden has wine. So sad. Never again. Go somewhere else. read more

Party of 4 went on a Sunday night. Only larger parties can reserve. LOVE the BYOB places, and this is a good one! Server Kylie was very informed about the menu items and attentive. Great Italian food except no pasta items, unless occasionally as a special. Had their great meatball appetizer, one of the fresh green salads, soup du jour, Italian sausage panini and a nice Margherita pizza. Definitely return. read more

Seems every business in Bridgeville is so over priced I guess when you border expensive towns like USC and South Fayette you can get away with it.We didn't even get to taste the food we went in looked at menu and walked out.Too many great pizza places around for me to pay super high prices for a pizza read more

Dough tastes like factory dough. Flat. Never seen or heard of or understand a prosciutto and rocket pizza with truffle oil

Wonderful service and fabulous pizza! When we arrived, we were seated immediately and given very personable service. The waitress gave us excellent suggestions and was very kind. By far, the Pizza Anna won the prize as the best food of the evening, though we ate the Antipasti and meatball appetizers as well, and they were delectable. The only thing that was missing was music, but we were happy to provide our own via pandora. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I live in the city but am always looking for an excuse to drive out to Bridgeville just to go here. It's a cute quaint atmosphere. The restaurant is pretty small and they get pretty busy around dinner. They only take reservations for groups over 6, but I've never had to wait very long. I've been here many times and my go to is one of the calzones. They all have meat in them but I'm a vegetarian and they're great about letting me make substitutions. The calzones are huge but delicious! Very high quality cheeses and ingredients. The dough is thin which keeps it from being too heavy. Delicious. I've also tried their cheese plate and a few of their soups. They always have a soup of the day and it's always delicious. Most recently I had their vegetable and it was so flavorful! I also love that it's BYOB. We always go with another couple and it's always a great time. So glad we found this place! read more

Cucina Bella - Custom vegetarian calzone! Delicious - Pizza Near Me - Bridgeville, Pennsylvania

I'm impressed. Here's what I like: - Table bread is warm. It comes with balsamic and olive oil, but the balsamic is very thick, helping it cling to the bread. (Don't eat too much before you entree arrives.) - Salads are fresh and unique - not the basic "bag of greens." - Entrees are very good. My pasta dish was very well flavored, the pasta was cooked correctly (not overdone), and everything was well balanced. - We also ordered pizza, which was excellent. It is a fairly simple pizza, with a fairly thin crust, tomato sauce that is "tomatoey" and not too sweet, and a decent amount of cheese. - Service was professional. - The setting is nice. It's not a huge place, but there is more seating inside than I expected from the outside. It's well decorated as well. The only negative was some cooks in the kitchen speaking loudly (and dropping F-bombs...), with their sound pouring out into the dining area - not so cool. read more

Bring a bottle of wine and enjoy pizza like not what you normally expect. We usually get a red and a white pizza to feed 2 and get some variety. Salads are really good too! read more

I really enjoy this BYOB restaurant! The polpette are delicious and so are the pizzas. However, I find the menu to be a bit too limited in terms of choices. read more

We ordered take out pizza for the first time from this restaurant. Sad to say, it was the worst pizza we ever had (Americana). The crust was burnt, the toppings were sparse, especially the cheese, and we thought overpriced. The waitress who helped was pleasant and very efficient. However, we will not be ordering from here again. read more

This place is great. The meat ravioli is the best as is the pizza!!! If you are in the area be sure and stop. BYOB also.

Love Cucina Bella. We've been coming to this BYOB for a few years now. We don't usually make a reservation, but since we always come with kids we come early (between 4-4:30) and have never had an issue with being seated. The pizza is great, but lately I've been getting the veggie panini and that's been good too! I usually steal some slices from the kids pizza :). The last time we were there we ordered the bruschetta app and I highly recommend it! It's not what you'd expect from a typical bruschetta, but it's sooo good! They cover the bread with pesto, a balsamic drizzle, and halved cherry tomatoes. I love how they cut the pieces up really small too. I am a fan of bruschetta, but I always find it difficult to eat, so they've solved that issue! Every waitress we've had has been very nice and attentive so service is also a plus. In summary, we always know we'll have a good meal when we go! read more

So sad...we invited friends from the North Hills after bragging about this restaurant...their pizza is the best and the meatballs were incredible. HOWEVER, last night was a very bad experience. We ordered the meatballs, they were much smaller and over cooked. In fact, they were crispy. The sauce was still good as we had experienced in the past. Next, came the pizza. We ordered a favorite but when it came out, it was soggy in the middle and the toppings were sparse, unlike all of the other times. Another friend ordered chicken on her salad but it was over-cooked and was like eating rubber. Has something changed? Oh by the way, our friends had the cheese plate which was fine but the calzone came out burnt and our friend only ate a piece. When the server asked if he wanted a box, he said 'no'. Surprised if he had only eaten a bite, that she would not have asked why. We will go another time but hope this was an aberration and the regular cook was sick! read more

Amazing place to eat. Will definitely come back. Everyone is super friendly and their food is really good. Pizza and salad are great.

Best Pizza and salad! One of our favorite date night spots!! They also always have great service!

Support local businesses especially during this time of lockdown and uncertainty. They are here to support you too! Great gesture from the team at Cucina Bella with the roll of toilet paper with a takeout order! read more

Great place, I took my tinder date here a couple weeks ago. I've never been there before, she suggested it. It was a busy Friday night we waited about 15 minutes for a table (not bad). We ordered meatballs and bruschetta as an app, phenomenal! Food was amazing she ordered the Pizza Anna I ordered a Dicarne. Pizza was amazing. It's BYOB so we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. I have to compliment our server Nikki. She was so informative I told her I wanted a meat pizza and that's what she suggested. She went over the menu with us, super friendly and really, really hot. If I wasn't on a date I would have asked for her number. There was a blond server too who was reaLly hot. Great place to eat, and hot servers, what more can a guy ask for? Definitely would recommend. read more

They have a lot of interesting pizza styles here with an even split of red and white sauces - we had one of each. The white was a little better although they were both fine. To me the cheese was a little lacking which is surprising. And personally I like my toppings chopped fine and blended in with the cheese while they have large chunk toppings sitting on top. These are just personal preferences, but what is not acceptable is sitting another couple directly next to us - at very close quarters to hear each other's conversations - when the entire restaurant was full of empty tables. What exactly did that accomplish? read more

The food is the best part of the experience at Cucina Bella - the meatballs are delicious, and the pizza is both tasty and crispy. But the service doesn't match the food - we waited for a table (which we expected) then waited at the table for a server to acknowledge we were there. How long is too long? I think a server should stop by in the first 3-5 minutes after you sit down, even just to acknowledge that they see you and will be right back. Fifteen minutes after sitting down, we placed our order; the meatball appetizer came right away and was frankly, great. The pizza? Also terrific, even if the waitress mixed up our pies and called them by the incorrect names - one piece in, we figured it out, and happily swapped. So why am I being so picky? Cucina Bella has the prices of a high-end restaurant - for a few dollars more, I could have gone to Cure, where they not only feed you well, they treat you with care. No one was rude at Cucina, but I felt like the service lacked the attention - and attention to detail - I expect at these prices. I might go back, but pizza is a Pittsburgh staple, so Cucina Bella has a lot of competition in high and low places. read more

My wife, daughter and I were staying in Bridgeville to attend a local dance competition. Not wanting to eat dinner at a fast food or chain restaurant we turned to Yelp for suggestions and discovered Cucina Bella. The reviews were good so we thought we'd give it a try. Are we ever glad we did. We started our meal with the Antipasto Carmenucci, which was loaded with fresh ricotta, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, olives, and Italian meats and cheeses. It was delicious. It would have been a meal in itself. For dinner we ordered the Cucina Bella pizze, which was excellent as well. The waitstaff was very friendly as was the owner who brought our pizza to the table and spent a few minutes chatting with us and made us feel very welcome. We only live a little over an hour away so we may have to make another visit soon. read more

Wonderful food and hospitality! try the ravioli, meatballs, pizza. It's all wonderful!
