I tried a Bbq chicken pizza slice and I have to say, it's not bad. It was NY style with that distinguishable thin, cracker crisp crust. It was a quick in and out. Nothing to write home about. read more

Perfect slice reminds me of the jersey shore boardwalk crispy and thin with a perfect salty cheesy bite. The staff were welcoming and the price is fair for how big the slice is. Standard pizzeria booth seating. They accept Apple Pay and they're facing a large parking lot! read more

Bella Italia - Cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

My first experience was with my nana, she took me up on a bus to get pizza at 6 years old. It's above average pizza, nostalgic and a great place to go for people watching. We frequently went for a slice as skateboarding teenagers and now in our 40's we come here when we're both in town visiting family. One bite of that thin crust will take you back home. It's the best around and worth every penny. read more

Bella Italia - Margherita slice and veggie slice - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Was looking for a quick bite to eat before a show at the Ardmore Music Hall across the street. Loved the beer cooler. Glad they had cheesesteaks since I'd been in Philly for three days and not gotten one yet. I know it's not traditional but I thought the mix of hot and sweet peppers worked well. read more

Bella Italia - Wow - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Bella Italia is one of those places that has been around...forever. The building is a classic 1950s, at one time it was right next to a trolley line, and there's still a bus stop next to it. Over the years the quality of the food was up and down. It was great. Then hood. Then okay. Then ... you get the idea. W It fell out of our rotation during this time. Then, one day, the NMA comes home with a pizza. It's ... excellent. Very old school, a classic pizza with thin crust, foldable slices, quality cheese. Yummy. They offer Sicilian style as well, square on thick bread, tomato pie and "specialty" pizzas like bbq. I'm quite happy that Bella is back, and look forward to more of their classic pizza. read more

Really good pizza. Definitely in our top 5..... chicken parm sandwiches are very good as well

I don't often crave pizza, but when I do I hope it brings me back to what I grew up with in Brooklyn. This isn't quite it. The white pizza was dry and tasteless. Pepperoni, was better. Slices are big, crust thinner than my preference and not as cheesy as I'd like. My opinion is clearly not shared, as plenty of people came in during lunchtime. And I'm glad, as the owners seem very nice and have great rapport with their customers. read more

rude and racist. I asked for a side of sauces and they threw it at me for an inexplicable reason and said something in another language and laughed. Will never return. read more

Bella Italia Pizza in Ardmore is a disgrace to the Italian cuisine. I recently ordered a pizza from them. It turns out that they deliver through DoorDash. This was never disclosed to me and when my pizza arrived, it arrived as a heaping, messy pile of pizza. The cheese was all over the place, and the toppings were sliding off the crust. It was like they had just thrown it in a box and sent it on its way. When I tried to explain the problem to the driver, he literally ran from my house and took off in his car. When I called Bella Italia Pizza, they said that it was not their problem and that I needed to contact Door Dash. So, I was forced to jump through all sorts of hoops to get a refund. In the meantime, I didn't have a pizza, or anything to feed my kids. And Bella Italia, could not make it right because they don't do their own delivery and couldn't deliver new pizzas. Check out my posted photos of my delivered pizzas. I was so disappointed, because I had heard good things about Bella Italia Pizza in the past. But this experience has completely changed my mind. I will never order from them again. I would advise anyone else considering ordering from Bella Italia Pizza to think twice. There are many other great pizza places in Ardmore that will actually deliver a pizza that looks and tastes good. read more

Neighborhood fave for decades...thin sliced pizza - large single slices. Lots of large comfy booths. Friendly vibe.

Great pizza, great cheesesteaks, love the woman behind the counter. This is what Philadelphia is all about.

Best NY style pizza we've found in the area so far. Easy online ordering, easy pickup (they have a few parking spots off Lancaster specifically designated for carry out parking that are super easy to pull into), and most importantly, great pizza! Thin, crispy crust, and just the right amount of sauce and cheese. It's great, give them a try. read more

Over and over again I and my close mainliner friends frequent Bella Italia as our pizza restaurant of choice ! Bella never disappoints with a tasteful menu including a wide selection of crafted beer . We have always experience friendly service additionally they are on top of cleanliness i.e. , tables are always wiped down down and floors are swept throughout the day. Anyone that thinks anything different of Bella must not get out much there's always one in a crowd. read more

I'm learning this is a great place for pizza. I was in the area and ordered a baked ziti dinner to go. I arrived to learn they're now charging $16 for a small portion. Most pizza places provide a much larger container for a lower price. The meal was ok. Kind of bland, a little cold but I ate the whole thing! read more

Bella Italia - Baked ziti dinner, $16 - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Consistently the best pizza in the Philly area. A little greasy and greedy with those prices but definitely worth it. I just wish they delivered on something other than DoorDash with all the insane fees they put on. read more

I ordered linguine with sauce, which came with salad and bread and butter. The salad was pretty standard and the bread and butter was just a small piece, but I liked that the bread was nice and soft. The entree was...fine, but the portion was very small compared to other restaurants with the same price point. Overall, I don't think the amount of food I received was worth all the delivery and related fees, but it wasn't bad. read more

If the two dirty beevus and butthead teenagers are cooking, turn around and leave. They suck, don't care, and it's priced on the higher end. If the adults are cooking it's decent. read more

Buzy buzzing pizza joint that has consistently put out a great slice. There is a board walk NJ pizza vibe (in a good way). We each had a slice and shared cheesesteak. Both perfect! We loved drinking "tall boys" out of the case and loved the vibe. It is so refreshing to have a place like this stay close to their roots. I can't wait to go back. (Have been comming here for over 30yrs when I worked in the area) read more

Bella Italia is probably in my top 10 of best pizzas in the entire Philly area. They are a bit pricey but the quality matches the price. Everyone there is polite and friendly. The place kinda takes you back to an old school pizza shop. It's kinda refreshing considering how generic many pizza shops are starting to look. I highly recommend you give them a shot if you're in Ardmore. read more

OK, I was introduced to Bella Italia by my partner, who first went here in the late 80s when she was in college. I've eaten pizza all over, NYC, Boston, New Haven, RI, Chicago, and many places where they didn't really know how to make pizza. Bella Italia's pizza is amazing - some of the best pizza I've had. I've been eating here at least a couple times per year (and more recently) for over a decade, and they're consistently great. Talk about basics, their cheese pie has a thin, delicious, chewy crust, flavorful tomato sauce, and quality cheese. Seriously, I could eat their huge cheese slices all day. Add some toppings and it only gets better. Their Sicilian slices are great too - thick with plenty of sauce. And man, their cheese fries are PERFECT. I know there are as many opinions out there about cheese fries as there are Philadelphians, but Bella's are just the right amount of crispy and made with plenty of provolone. YUM. More recently I've tried their cheesesteaks a few times, and while I'm no expert, I thought, "This is a good cheesesteak!" (Then I tried cheesesteaks at a few other places around Philly, and so far I like Bella's better!) But do yourself a favor and try their pizza. Bella's is the best! read more

This family owned pizza shop has been a staple in the area for as long as I can remember! Good pizza runs in the blood! Maria runs this store, her brother Vinnie has another pizza shop (Vinnie's pizza) in Wayne. They both have great food! You order at the counter then have a seat and they will call out your name when your order is ready. It can get a little crowded around the counter area at time, I generally get a set in the back. I goto Bella Italia almost every time I'm at the Ardmore Music Hall. I head over between sets and grab a slice or a sandwich and a seat before heading back to AMH. I only wish they stayed open later so I could get something after the show! I've had various slices, cheesesteaks, and burgers here, all good! I need to sample the stromboli here, Vinnie made one of my favorites on the mainline! They also sell 6 packs if you want to grab some beer to go. They have a few dedicated "pickup" parking spots right outside and the metered parking lot (free after 6) has the 10 minutes free parking if you need to run in and grab something. Check it out and tell Maria hello! read more

First time customer -- Ordered two chicken parm meals for carry out at $22 each. It was 80% spaghetti and 20% chicken - and the chicken was overcooked. Salad is a waste. Pretty frustrating when restaurants over charge for Chx Parm and load it with spaghetti. One and done. read more

I want to like this place so much. Old school vibe, pretty clean attractive looking pizza. Then you get a slice, meh. Yes, it's crispy but the flavor is Meh. Ordinary sauce and below ordinary cheeses quickly drag this down to average. Then there's the price, $6, for a mushroom slice with Waffle House canned mushrooms. They have the potential to be a 8 plus rated slice but barely breaks a six. Like my teachers used to say in kindergarten, you can do better, I know you can. read more

A great spot for a New York style slice when in the area. I've eaten at Bella countless times over the years and have always been a fan of their New York style slices. For some reason the large, medium, or smaller sizes taste different and are simply not as good, but the in-store slices or extra large pies (20") are very tasty. Bottom line, if you want New York style pizza and are near Ardmore, head to Bella and get a slice or extra large pie. read more

Ride pass this place 1000x and decided to check them out. Hands down our new date night pizza joint. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I felt like I have been going there for years. Not to mention you can have a ice cold beer while enjoying their New York style pizza. Picture does it no justice. Slices are huge and buffalo wings are awesome. read more

Bella Italia - Meat lovers and veggie slice I couldn't finish. - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

DO NOT waist your time or money on this sub standard pizza shop! This business treats new customers with disdain and they are rude, ignorant, condescending and lack common decency. When businesses in the community believe they can treat customers poorly based on current sales it is only a matter of time when you will fall from grace! The department of health definitely needs to visit this place! read more

Overpriced - $24.00 for cheese steak and mozzarella sticks - on a pick up order - and then there's that tip screen! I bought 2 orders of wings from there about a year ago....I think it was $50.00 for 20 wings? I know inflation is high, but their prices are ridiculous! read more

My daughters and I have gotten takeout food here three times in the last month. The service has been so friendly and positive and that is the main reason for this review, but also the food. With COVID-19, they have a takeout window where the ordering is done, and about five tables and booths out on a sidewalk that is in a parking lot that they share with other businesses including the Tired Hands Fermentaria, so not on busy Lancaster Ave. My daughters are hooked on "BLT hoagies" which aren't really a thing, but most places will make it for you if they have bacon. Usually the problem is that the bacon you get is at least a day old and has been going in an out of a refrigerator during that time. Not here. Here it is fresh and bright. It looks like it was cooked within the hour or perhaps even to order; it's still juicy, tender and tasty. Really good! But my favorite part might be the service. Last night, after my BLT hoagie, I returned to the window to order fries because my daughters weren't even halfway done their BLT hoagies when I was. There was an order taker at the window that was very pleasant, but my favorite part was the head guy (cook, manager, both?) in the cooking area who saw me at the window, 20 feet away, and asked loudly, "How are the hoagies??". I just love that kind of TLC. Oh, and those fries were fresh out of the fryer, crispy and hot, perfectly salted. For a place that has been around such a long time, to offer this level of care, not to mention fresh food, is the sort of thing that brings me here to write a review. I am not a serial yelper, but these guys deserve some praise. Thank you! read more

I have been going to Bella Italia for almost 3 years now! I found out about this gem and was hooked ever since! Being from New Jersey and being used to grade A pizza, I was disappointed by the lack of good pizza in the West Philly, Manayunk, Ardmore area. I decided to explore different local pizzeria's to find a good spot to satisfy my need for good quality pizza. After trying Bella Italia for the first time, I was in love! The pizza is great! The crust is thin, sauce is delicious, perfect amount of cheese. I have tried a few things on their menu other than just the plain slice. I have had a white slice here which is delicious and difficult to pull off; Bella Italia did it perfectly! I have also tried the meatball parmesan hero, the french fries and mozzarella sticks. All were delicious and I would have again! The only downside of this spot is that the pizza is a bit oily but the napkin trick will fix this issue! Other than that Bella Italia is the perfect spot to get a pie to go from, grab a slice, grab a sandwich ect! The staff is very friendly; owned by a sweet husband and wife straight from Sicily! Which is probably why their pizza is so good! If you are in Ardmore and want good quality pizza; try Bella Italia! read more

Best Brooklyn slice on the Main Lone! Been going here forever and the staff is friendly and the food is always consistently good.

Quick take out order. Chicken cheesesteak with the works. The works include mushrooms, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and I thought jalapeños but I didn't notice any really. Despite such, it was delicious! A good ratio of cheese. Plenty filling, but I'm not a big hoagie bread person and would've preferred a hard roll. It's $10.50 for the sub. $8.75 I believe without the extra goodies. Wouldn't get it all the time but it was still delicious. And worker taking my payment was very friendly. Always appreciated :) I did not try the pizza or fries. But I'm picky in both of those categories. read more

Food is delicious and they always treat people like they are part of their family. Food is always delicious and very very he proud portions.

I'm ashamed I lived in Wynnewood for so long before trying this place. Sometimes you're not looking for some artisan flatbread. Sometimes you just need 1 good classic pepperoni slice, a cheesesteak, or a chicken parm sandwich. This place will satisfy the craving! read more

Bella Italia USED to be great. Now I wont go back. Actually threw out all the leftover pizza. Quality has gone down. Cheap ingredients. WONT GO BACK. Guy who "greets you" is downright rude. read more

Ive been coming here for years. its always been overpriced, but the food has always been good. went back to bella this week and got a pepperoni stromboli. I honestly don't know how bella serves this with a straight face because its nothing more than a loaf of bread with about 4 total pieces of the absolute lowest quality pepperoni. Next time ill just stick with ardmore pizza. read more

Bella Italia - "Pepperoni Stromboli" - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Just your average pizzeria with a decent slice. Two times ago my pizza was burned a bit more than I prefer and last time the crust seemed thinner... My co-worker swore that this was the best pizza around. It was always good pizza, or A-ok, but I never understood why he loved it. Once he found out that Acme sold a cheaper slice, he stopped going to Bella Italia... I learned I work with horrible people that day... I might be coming here a lot more though... I can trick co-workers into ordering a pizza at this place and then walking to Delice et chocolat while we wait. We always get pizza here though, I think I might try something else next time. Maybe a Stromboli? We'll see how that goes. read more
