This place was great, stopped by on the trip back home from upstate. Deep dish and white pie was awesome. Would definitely come again.

On November 20th, my 3rd of 4th time ordering from La Bella's, I observed an unwelcoming environment by staff with the types of conversations they were having behind the counter, unsanitary food prep conditions (big blonde woman licked her fingers after preparing my food, not even trying to hide it); food that wasn't even tasty at that because of the rushed manner in which it was prepared, and poor choice of packaging which left my food seemingly smashed up. My original review as of that day was 2 stars overall, 2 stars in food, 2 stars in service, and 1 star in atmosphere.
11/21/24, 1715 hours, revised review I tried ordering again at this restaurant because of the reason of needing food in a pinch, which I mentioned was a redeeming quality of La Bella's in my original review. From my original review, I did mention that the speed and convenience in which the food is prepared is a double-edged sword when you realize that their whole business model revolves around the speed of which the food is prepared and served versus the quality of it. However, the staff wanted to improve their standing and seemed apologetic. During this visit, when I'd mentioned my experience ordering the day before, they were enthusiastic to reconsider the way they chose to package my food and its quality on top of being more friendly and welcoming! I also noted the diversity of the staff in the restaurant that day, and their whole "family-esque" picture they had been trying to paint with their kitchen and Italian general eatery displayed a good image. Overall, the concerns had been addressed and the staff was much more considerate towards food prep and quality this time around! It deserves some attention (see additional photos in comparison to my review from the 20th). With this update in my review, I will grant 1 additional star of rating to all categories!

My experience at Labella was nothing short of disappointing. The Pizza was okay, but the manner in which the manager treated her employee was deeply unprofessional and disrespectful. I would never choose to support a business run by someone who would talk to their employees like she did.

Cashier girl is very sexy I just when there today 7/24/18,also food is great
It's sad that people are using a woman's business as a political battlefield but that's another story. I don't like how people throw around 5 stars these days (seems like it's either 1 or 5 - no in between). I'm leaving 5 because this is the closest thing to NYC pizza in New Paltz. And after living there for 12 years, it's the one thing I miss about that crazy city.I don't order out often - but I'm glad every time I do - a worth it splurge. Best pizza, cannolis, and homemade soup in town in my opinion.I could go on and on about the national debacle over a mural on a private business…but this is just supposed to be a review of a local pizza shop. My only regret tonight is that I only got 1 cannoli.
The service was great. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The pizza hit the spot, a perfect spot to grab a quick slice.

Food was pretty good. Not excellent as I expected better since it is costlier than most pizza places. Would be preferable if they lowered the price to match quality. Excellent and fast service, though!
