Drove all the way there to have the man there tell us no only carryout and pizza as soon as we walked in. Should not be advertised as it is.

One guy seems to be running the show, not exactly personable or overly friendly but he isn't there to make friends I guess. Pizza was thin crust and crispy, the flavor was amazing. The place looks to be carryout only and I read other reviewers saying it is only pizza available, I can not confirm nor deny that. I would buy here again..

I have ordered pizza the last three Thursdays for pick up and it’s been fantastic!! I have been driving past this pizza restaurant for a year now. So glad I decided to give this business an opportunity! This is so good ! Crispy crust and no flop!! David Portnoy should come here!

I was farm sitting in the area and had the pizza 4-5 years ago by luck of it being 3 minutes away. Farm sitting here again and remembered them and how good it was.
Walked in around 5pm on Sunday and asked for a pizza in an hour. What a delightful guy. I bartended my whole life and I can tell he is a hard and honest restaurant worker. I enjoyed talking with him and wish him the best. I’ve read some reviews that say he’s all alone and pizza to go only. Damn, I’m retired but could put some hours in with a pro like that.
Pizza was excellent ?

To be fair, I’m rating the business and not the food… all the details on Google, including the menu, plus the sign in front of the restaurant, say this place is fully open and serving dine-in and take-out. In fact, they only serve take-out pizza (no other dishes). They used to be really awesome ??‍♀️

I wish I had what it takes to help run this pizza place with this poor man. I feel so bad for him. Please bring this place back. We need a go fund me. Can you even do that? This is authentic pizza. Please let's get it back to what it was. What a sad thing. We need this food over what other options we have.

I lived in New York and always loved pizza made in a Baker’s Pride oven. Then I bought a boat, kept it Herrington Harbor South, and discovered this place. They too have a Baker’s Pride oven.

The owner is an artist, and his pizza is world class. I’ve eaten pizza in five Italian cities, and this competes with them all. Perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had.

Ignore the reviews about customer service nonsense. It’s like complaining Pablo Picasso didn’t say please when he asked you to move into the light while he painted your portrait.

This brilliant artisan has mastered his craft. And that craft is pizza. Bella Italia is the best pizza south of New York. Period! Everyone nearby has an obligation to support this place.

This pizza is an Italian delicacy. 5 stars! Ignore the look of the restaurant. The pizza is amazing. Perfect crust, fresh ingredients. Do takeout or eat it outside.

I walked in to order a pizza. The place is very dark. The owner was nice. He informed me that it is carry out only and it will take 30 mins. The pizza was good. Very thin crispy crust with an ample amount of cheese.

We stopped on our way from meeting friends and planned to order Papa John’s as we normally do on the weekend. We have passed it so many times in the six years we’ve lived here and haven’t had the chance to stop so we decided tonight was the perfect night for it. My husband went in and wanted a pizza so was looking on the menu. The middle aged guy said “what do you want!” (in a very exasperated tone). And said he wants to order a pizza. The guy told him “it takes time” and my husband said it was fine as I was in the car feeding our 2 month old. And then the guy took a call-in order on speaker and the lady was trying to order something that was not pizza but was on the menu and he - clearly annoyed - said “only pizza!!!!”…. So the lady just kept with the pizza order. Then he came back to get my husband’s order. A bit alarmed he ordered the combination type pizza that was on the menu. And he said “I’m not making it takes too long”…. Then the guy went to the back in the kitchen and slammed stuff into the oven, and came back to my husband. My husband had enough, and slid the menu towards him and said “have a nice night” and agitated the guy said “cíao” (not in a nice way) and my husband said “ya know, you are a f*** a***”… this guy said “oh you’re gonna talk to me like that in my store?!” And said “yes, because you are…” and followed my husband out of the restaurant telling him to “suck his co**” and “get off his property” as he was already across the street. Some neighbors a few doors down were literally thumbs upping my husband saying the guy in the store is a complete jerk and acts like this to many customers. Needless to say; we won’t be back. I’d rather have chain pizza than whatever he serves any day and I suggest you do the same. CíAO.
