J.R. Pizza Bella Restaurant

If I could give J.R. Pizza Bella more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! This spot in Coral Springs is such a gem. At first glance, the mix of Italian and Puerto Rican food on the menu might seem unusual, but once you taste it, you’ll see how beautifully both cultures shine without blending into “fusion.” Each cuisine is authentic and stands proudly on its own.

We started with the alcapurrias and empanadas, and I have to say — they transported me straight to Piñones. Perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and packed with flavor inside. Then came the Italian side of the menu — pizza and lasagna. We stuck to the basics to see how authentic the flavors were.The lasagna was rich, layered beautifully, and covered in that extra stringy cheese that makes every bite comfort on a fork. The pizza was equally incredible — fresh ingredients, balanced sauce, and just the right amount of cheese and crunch. And don’t even get me started on the garlic rolls. You can actually taste the real olive oil, which gives them such an authentic, elevated flavor.

The atmosphere is another highlight. Walking in, it feels cozy and welcoming, almost like stepping into a hidden neighborhood spot where everyone’s a friend. The restaurant was spotless, and our food came out quicker than expected without ever feeling rushed. Our server was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable — offering great recommendations that really helped us enjoy the best of both menus.

Overall, J.R. Pizza Bella delivers big on flavor, comfort, and hospitality. Whether you’re in the mood for Puerto Rican classics or hearty Italian favorites, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back!

We love this place. We've been going here for many years. Happily stumbled upon it on a visit to advanced auto parts next door to it. We're from NYC, and the owner has both italian and puerto rican dishes.

The Puerto Rican food was good. I take out but the old man at the front wouldn’t even take the time to help you. The waitress was very nice to take my order. I guess you have to look white before he will help you to order Italian food.

My family has been coming here for some time. But unfortunately, our last visit here was quite disappointing. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food, which should have only taken 20 minutes to make. We ordered one Stromboli and a calzone. JR came out and asked who was complaining about the food. I told him that no one was complaining, but we had been waiting for quite some time. He pretty much called me a liar and didn't apologize or offer any type of discount. I asked the waitress if he was drunk.. she said maybe a little. Smh.. food is delicious, but the time management is horrific!

The food is quite delicious, but the staff and the service they provide is very bad. I ordered something with my husband to eat at the place and I don't know how the person who served us understood that she was taking away. When we are sitting at the table waiting, she goes and says that it is difficult for us to eat there since the waitresses have an order and a mechanic, something that I did not understand. I told him no problem then he would give it to me to take away and he said no, it's fine for us to stay. Behind us we saw how she served some Americans totally different from the service she gave us. I was left with no desire to return.
