If you don't get pizza here you're missing out. True Chicago style thin crust done right. Delicious.

Stopped in on a whim as they were just opening. Old tavern feel, but super clean and friendly service. Both pizza and salad were very goo- sauce had a nice kick. The bartender/waiter was great, and the owner stopped to say hello as he delivered some supplies. We will be back.

We decided to try their pizza since we haven't been in since they opened. The atmosphere is of a laid back, pizza tavern. The pizza is different. It's a thin crust, with a different taste and feel. We each ordered a pizza since they weren't huge pizzas and we wanted different toppings. We both agreed that we liked the pizza since it was different. Not sure leftovers work well since it's a dry, crackery crust compared to most.

We all agreed, this was the worst pizza we could remember ordering from a restaurant. Just bland and… not good. The guy behind the bar was very friendly, good service.

Pretty good pies. Had the pepperoni and loved it for what it is, a decent Chicago tavern style pizza with a cracker crust. Also had the cheese bread which was perfectly doughy. Drinks are terrible. Had the old fashioned and Midwest old fashioned. Wish I had ordered water, so stick to beer if you go here.

As a Chicagoan, this is the closest I've gotten to true thin crust pizza in the PNW! If you're looking for some casual bar pizza and a beer look no further than Bella Ciao.

I don't normally go for thin crust pizza but this was delicious. Great balance of ingredients. Nothing too in your face, just delicious overall flavor

We ordered 2 cheese and 1 pepperoni, breadsticks, mozzarella sticks, a Cesar salad and a regular salad, everything was great one of the best pizzas in town and the appetizers were excellent as well.

Ordered through DoorDash. Pizza was okay, cheese bread was severely undercooked. Waste of $30.

I didn’t realize how much I missed midwestern tavern style pizza til i came to bella ciao and it brought a tear to my eye - it was so good, nostalgic classics like plain cheese, supreme, and pepperoni were so on point but new flavors like lamb and sambal is what really knocked it outta da park for me. We all ate way more than we thought we would, but the crust is so thin it’s okayy. I would move to Bellingham for this pizza.

Really good pizza. It's got a super thin, "snappy" crust (itll snap before it'll tear, which I like). I think the price is right. It's about 21 bucks for a pie, which is neither cheap nor expensive, and the pies are made with high quality ingredients. Try the lamb sausage - they use an in-house mix. The only catch is that their menu isn't huge.

Just replace those cheap paper plates! They don't leave a positive impression.

Not great, AT ALL. Service was alright, food was bland, cheese bread had no flavor, didn't look like it was cut, the server proceeds to tell us it is cut, and then with his bare hands grabs the bread and tears it in front of us to prove it was. I can understand that we didn't realize it was, and he just needed to mention it to us, but to use his bare hands at our table and rip it apart was a little off putting. The pizza is a true cracker crust, and not a thin crust, I guess it's just not my thing, and that's on me. The butter chicken pizza was a bit of a let down, lacked all the flavor and spice of butter chicken, I would not have been able to tell the difference between that sauce and a traditional marinara had I not ordered it.
They were playing good movies. It may be your kind of food, but wasn't for me, seasoning wasn't there across the board and the fact that the server touched our food in front of us, was the biggest turn off.
