    Is it OK to think a pizza can be beautiful?
    James A.

    Really good Chicago deep dish pizza. This little outpost was the closest to the house, located in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. it is carryout only (no dine-in) as most of the pizza places around here seem to be. It was Super Bowl Sunday so figured it would be busy and possibly increasing the chance of a mistake. So ordered a medium Chicago style on-line (paid for it as well) right when it opened at 11 am, for a 2 pm pickup. Got there exactly at 2, gave my name, and they had the pizza ready for me. I had forgotten how heavy even a medium Chicago deep dish pizza could be. I got it home, and waited till the Super Bowl began. It was a just a beautiful pie. We reheated it at 350 to get it just warm enough. The chicago style has sliced mozzarella, with a sausage patty that covers the entire pizza, and sweet chunky tomato sauce on top. The best part of the pizza is the crust...always crispy crunchy even with wet toppings but never greasy or too buttery like pan pizza can get. The crust goes over the edge so you always can get some extra crust for a bite if that is what you want...or just hand it over to your partner who prefers the crust, and focus on the middle...each bite (no matter how big or small) having the perfect balanced layers of crust, cheese, sausage and sauce. I've read reviews about how Malnati's isn't as good as before, but that was not the case for me. Malnati's is the best chain restaurant to serve deep dish. The pie cost almost $30 with tax, but if you consider that it can be sliced into 8 pieces, and 2 pieces is enough for an adult...it's a good value in this day and age.

    This place is always a good family place to go to, there's so many tables and good parking space. We ordered a house salad which was great! The sangria is strong and really good, definitely recommend. I had ordered the gluten free pepperoni pizza, it was really hard to chew, I think they over cooked it. I have them 3 stars for the gluten free pizza quality however the service and ambiance is really great!

    Great little pizza spot! You have to get the deep dish - because you're in Chicago! Duh. The sauce was really good and everything felt really fresh. The house salad was good - I personally would lose the mushrooms. Great spot for groups and can easily find something for all.

    To be quite honest, Giordanos is better. The quality of the pizza wasn't that good. Kind of tasted like plastic. Service was way too long for the food to get here. Almost about 1.5 hours. Overall, gets the job done but not good for the price.

    I've always been a NY guy, but Lou made me a deep dish guy. I got a sausage, garlic, olive, mushroom, butter crust large. I have meals for three more days! Imma tell you the best part about deep dish right now, it stays hot forever! No worries about it getting cold in the car!

    Had to be the worst pizza I ever tasted. Disgusting. Will never order from here again. I give them 1 star just for delivering it.

Hillary was very gracious as she showed me the private room that they have at the restaurant. It was simply perfect! I booked the room and a few months later we had the party. The food is absolutely excellent! It's the most authentic Italian pizza you will have in the suburbs! The salad and pasta were very well received from all the guests! We had almost 60 people at our party. Hillary was very helpful during the whole time as well as the two bartenders that were working our party. They have a microphone and plenty of tables for your use. They even supply centerpieces for all the tables. They have a beautiful patio as well that the attendees could walk outside and relax there as well. I really enjoyed the fact that I could connect my phone wirelessly to their speaker system so I can play music during the party. They also have music of their own that they provide as well. There were so many compliments from the attendees on the ambience andthe food quality! If you were looking for a place just to have a nice meal, or to have a small party, I would highly recommend Bella Napoli!

Lots of space inside and some outdoor seating in the back, covered and uncovered. 5/5 food. Pizza is top, crispy and fresh in the thinner Italian style. Pasta is high on flavors, subtlety, and texture. Pricing is a little high for my tastes for the portion sizes, especially appetizers.
