Bella Vita Pizza

We have passed by this place for years. What a great little place! Great food and a wonderful staff. Very small inside but most people take out from what I saw. 💕

Review for Bella Vita Italian Restaurant, Springfield, VA

My mom and I visited Bella Vita for lunch, and honestly, it was a total letdown. We ordered a Philly Cheese Steak Sub, expecting it to come with lettuce and tomato as stated on the menu. It didn’t. When we asked the girl at the front how big the sub was, she vaguely said, "Oh, I don't know. I guess they're pretty big. I can't finish one," without showing us or explaining further. Turns out, the sub was just 8 inches—a pretty skimpy portion, even for us petite eaters.

The fries? Soggy. 🍟 The water? Just water. 💧 The meat was overcooked and lacked flavor, while the peppers and onions were undercooked and completely unseasoned. The bread wasn’t toasted, buttered, or griddled before the meat was added. And instead of the classic cheeses you’d expect—like Whiz or provolone—they slapped mozzarella on it. MOZZA-FREAKING-RELLA. 🤯

The decor didn’t save the experience either: fake plastic vines and grapes that looked cheap and out of place. It gave the whole place a tacky, outdated vibe. 🍇

If you’re in Springfield and craving Italian, just FUHGEDDABAUDITT. 🙅‍♀️🇮🇹🤮

I’m not being dramatic when I say this is some of the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten. It’s hard to mess up pizza but Bella vita has managed. To start I don’t think they have the slightest idea what a margarita pizza is. Each slice had a sad, single, SLIVER of wilted basil. The crust on each pizza is reminiscent of eating a crunchy, fried stick of butter. I also ordered the Italian garden pizza and the only thing I experienced is a mouthful of raw onion. I love raw onion but dear God…there was about 1/2 an onion on my small pizza alone. ….Just save yourself the time and money and don’t eat the pizza from here. Don’t do it.

The ice skating rink has better pizza. The crust taste like cardboard smh

Staff was friendly and accommodating, pizza was pretty average. Nothing fancy but kept the wolf at bay.

If you want nasty uncooked pizza.... order here. It won't let me upload the photo!

Fresh & delicious pizza on a snowy day.

We had tried their burgers and wings so thought we’d try them the pizza. We spent almost $50 on three 12” pizzas - the Bella Vita, Margarita and White. The Marg and white were bland and the meats on the Bella Vita just weren’t good. Even the crust had an odd taste. Definitely won’t be ordering again.

Fantastic pizza. I got the margherita and the garden pizza. Both were great.

10/10 all excellent

Absolutely terrible pizza. School cafeteria quality. They might be nice people, I don't know. The cheese mix is funky and the ratio of sauce to cheese is so off. I love tomato sauce, but this was like 80% sauce 20% cheese, which was just weird. So much sauce. and the crust tastes like frozen pizza crust. It's got that frozen-y texture. My husband couldn't even finish a slice and he's a human garbage disposal.
