We come from Las Vegas once or twice a yr and Always look fwd to ordering from here! Each time we get the Kitchen pizza cause it's SOoo good!! Literally can't rmbr having one pretty much anywhere that beats it! It's not cheap, but what is these days, but SO worth it!! We decided today we're going back again so we can freeze it before we head home and enjoy it a few more times in the months to come! You gotta ck it out! You definitely won't be disappointed!! The Mediterrean salad was really good too, but dressing needs a little more oil (if you ask me) but an easy fix! Life is short! Splurge a little! read more

This was our first time dining here, and we had a great experience! While the prices are on the higher side, that's exactly what you'd expect in Old Town, and they're actually more affordable than many of the neighboring Italian restaurants. The portions are huge and come with soup or salad and breadsticks, so you definitely get a lot for your money. Our server was absolutely amazing, so kind, attentive, and easy to talk to. The food came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious. We chose to sit on the outdoor patio, which had a great atmosphere and made for a really enjoyable meal. They also have a full bar, and my cocktail was definitely generous with the pour, which I appreciated! Overall, this was an excellent first visit, and we'll definitely be back. read more

After seeing Pizza Bella pop up in my yelp feed (huge shoutout to Joanna E. for that gorgeous photo) I knew this was a place I needed to try. Did a Friday night take out order via delivery which included a large antipasto salad and a 15" deep skillet pizza. Both were stacked with fresh ingredients, especially that pizza, tons of sausage and of course I added extra cheese. I loved their deep skillet so much! The crust was more crisp and light than any deep dish I've had before which is usually on the heavy bread side. Excellent texture. Sauce was punchy and went well with so much cheese and sausage. A must if you like deep dish. Looking forward to an in person visit. Delivery was excellent, but I can only imagine how much better it would be eating in house. Plus I want to try their pastas and sandwiches! Bella was Bella! read more

Food was not good, especially for the price. Tried the lasagna and spicy shrimp pasta and was disappointed. Very cheap quality. You're better off at corner bakery read more

Service was good, we sat in their courtyard and it was very nice and quiet... Sign says they had the best PIZZA IN AMERICA so we got a personal size one so everyone at the table could try it, it was decent maybe a 7/10.. We all had a pasta dish mine was a spicy, shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes (AMAZING) everyone at the table said mone was the best. We also had a Alfredo Cheese Tortellini ( Great) and my daughter is a Chicken Marcella person, this one was not good, Marcella sauce looked like THICK MUSHROOM GRAVY, you could taste the flour, it wasn't good, she only took a few bites. We also has a pesto veggies pasta (super oily) and my guest didn't even eat that as well. Overall wasn't horrible BUT 2 out 4 foor items weren't good.. read more

Some snob on YouTube was utterly wrong about this fabulous little gem in Old Town. My wife and I wholeheartedly enjoyed this place both times we've been here. A medium size deep dish would probably be perfect for two people, a large deep dish for four or five people. In any case the cheese pull on that bad boy is amazing. If you love great toppings, crust, and cheese for days--this is your spot. The service was great, we asked for a certain beer and the (owner?) recommended a better one! The outside seating is lovely during fair weather, with nice music playing that's not too loud. At the end of the day, if you want a robust pizza you'll still think about days after, come give these folks a visit. read more

I ordered a glass of wine and some cheesy bread while I waited forthe coaster.The bread was soft, made in house and had a right amount of bounce. The cheese was present but not overly gooey. The sauce was thick and had some depth in the flavor. And Lou was very friendly and welcoming. This experience let me to want to come back when I'm in the area and try the rest of the menu. *Review is for cheesy bread and service read more

Pizza Bella Italian Bistro - Cheesy Bread - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I will start off by saying I had a slice from leftovers my wife brought home before coming here. It was very good, good enough for me to remember. Important note: Most of my recent reviews are short and sweet yet this place deserves more attention. Please read on... On our way to Bronx Pizza, one of my revolving top three pizza joints, (Pizzeria Luigi and Long Island Mikes to round out the list and give you reference) my wife and I wanted something different, and she reminded me of "the slice". So, we changed directions and headed to Old Town. First off: This is not a "pizza joint"! No, this is a Ristorante. Simply, an Italian Restaurant with one of the best pizza's I have ever had the pleasure to eat. Located in Old Town, it is unassuming and when venturing in you are welcomed by the charm and simplicity of a comfortable place you seem to have been to before. Greeted by the owner, again, non-assuming and welcoming, I even asked for a different table and was joyfully led to my table of choice. We got the Bruschetta to start, and it was, well, the first word that came to mind while biting into the warm bread and impeccable presentation was FRESH! Just a bright celebration of dressing, tomato medley, etc. ... Our table went quiet for a few moments as we both just took in the flavors. We had also ordered the Kitchen Pizza (no jalapenos, just a preference for me). I was a bit reserved as "the slice" was peperoni so this was jumping all in. I was game and was not disappointed. It is a crazy mixture of toppings that just seem to contradict each other, yet just like the melting pot that America is, the flavors and contrasts all worked and nothing overwhelmed. An Absolute masterpiece to savor. I wish we had brought our adult kids as this would have allowed me to order family style and get lasagna, marsala, meatballs and such, sharing plates as I have absolutely no doubt that the rest of the menu is outstanding. But no need to wonder as we will be back this weekend or next to explore this menu further. Finally, you have an owner who genuinely gives a damn about your opinion, preferences and overall experience. Unfortunately, this is something that I seem not to see much elsewhere. Fichissimo, Pizza Bella!! read more

Manager was inpatient, irritated, unfriendly, BEFORE even ordering or getting our food.

Terrible experience tonight. Ordered pizza well-done and thick crust. Got home and discovered that it was beyond burned, solid black charred all the way thru and thin crust. Totally inedible almost $50 pizza. Not surprised order was wrong, women who took it was rude and dismissive. Probably won't be back even though we have been happy with the food in the past. read more

They have both options with a lot to choose from. Customer Service: 10/10 Background music: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Over all it is just amazing. read more

The food was okay at best, and the service was reasonable. I would argue that their portion sizes are comparable to that of cheesecake factory's (if you know their portions), but wouldn't come here again for the price. I personally don't think that the location and feeling I had in this restaurant was ideal, let alone on par with the price, but to each their own. There was a decent dinner crowd at the time of eating which showed me that at least they aren't some random Italian place down the block. One complaint I had which I didn't want to call someone down for as it wasn't a big of a deal, were the inconsistencies with the prices. On the menu, a Margherita pizza was $28.95 but was charged $29.95 on the receipt. Was it a big deal? No, but this should be something to take note of if you're visiting. read more

Needed a place to eat before catching a show at the cygnet theatre. Even though a majority of the food options in Old Town were mexican, we decided on italian for some code phatting at Pizza Bella. They were able to accommodate our big group and the service was great. We ordered: large half works/sigma-chi pizza large seafood pizza Garlic pasta with shrimp Chicken alfredo Bruschetta Everything was delicious and just the right amount of food for our group of 7. I wish they would have used real crab meat rather than the imitation crab meat in the seafood pizza but it was still good. There is free parking in the back as well. Forgot to take pictures of the food. Oops read more

Got a plain cheese pizza with light sauce and was just subpar. The canzone was tasty but come straight out of the oven when I picked it up and it was very soggy on the bottom. The third thing we got a meat pizza was not bad but their pizza definitely seem a lot smaller than a medium. By the reviews I was expecting better. read more

Staff was friendly and fast. Pizza was delicious with a great cheese pull Caesar salad was dressed perfectly. Even our little ones were saying it was really good.

Okay this place is very unique. Firstly let's talk about the elephant in the room. Yes they have a lot of awards. One of which is the "best pizza in America". Super bold statement to win that. The pizza pictured below is the one that won that award. Was it delicious? Yes, kinda weird too. Was it the best in America? Absolutely not. It was weird because I'm not sure how I feel about having hard carrots and broccoli on my pizza. Like if the carrots were cooked better or just leave them off? Overall the crust was absolutely perfect. The sauce was super delicious and I wish the pizza had more. It just got weird when you add the carrots and broccoli. Everything else was perfect. Now the service is so perfect! Very friendly and very fast! I would come back just to try a new pizza and enjoy the service. The biggest problem here is the parking situation. Yes they have a private lot but it is so tiny and usually full. With it being near old town, parking is extremely hard to find. We had to find parking about 5 blocks away. It was a nice little walk but beautiful because we walked right through old town. Overall it's a great restaurant with delicious pizza. Not the best in America but still a solid pizza. read more
