We've ordered from Bella Italian plenty of times. I keep saying that I'm going to try more of their pastas but the Chicken Marsala has me in a choke hold, lol. They have specials on different days of the week that come in handy as well. read more

Used to love this place, but today was a huge miss. I ordered a simple XL pepperoni pizza for pickup -- something I've gotten here before for around $24. This time, the total came out to $36, which was already surprising. On top of that, I called ahead and arrived about 20 minutes later, but still ended up waiting close to an hour total before getting my pizza. The pizza itself was very thin and light on toppings, which didn't match the price at all. I completely understand prices going up, but a $10+ increase, long wait times, and a noticeable drop in quality all at once is tough to justify. Hoping this was just an off day, because this used to be a go-to spot. read more

The pizza is good here but service isn't. The app that the use for orders (Slice) is not connected to the store or your order at all. So you will get an app notification that your food is ready but the restaurant won't even have put it in the oven. read more

First time having Bella Italia, very average experience. Happy that we could buy pizza by the slice, but the cheese pizza was just not good. The sauce tasted like it came from a jar. Very skimpy with the cheese. The white pizza was ok, again just ok. Much better options locally. Definitely a one and done for us. read more

They have a variety of inexpensive lunch specials here which include a soda, and I frequently come here for lunch with my friends from work. I would rate their pizza and service as a five, but the rest of their food as a one or two. The sandwiches have little meat. The salads are fresh but mostly just lettuce with sparse toppings. The chicken Parm is probably the worst chicken Parm I ever had in my life. Two heavily breaded patties of chicken topped with unmelted pieces of mozzarella cheese. The accompanying pasta was not spaghetti, but some type of shell pasta with a tasteless sauce. None of this had any spice. It was truly awful. The thing that saves them is their pizza. Good New York style pizza. And I am very picky about my pizza. Pizza is definitely five stars. Service is always good and prices are reasonable, especially for the line specials. But man, the food is just not good. read more

The chicken fettuccine alfredo was disgusting honestly. The whole dish is very unseasoned so i ended up putting my own. The chicken is boiled and doesn't have a flake of seasoning. Even after picking all the chicken out, the pasta still has that unseasoned boiled chicken taste. The pizza was pretty good though. maybe that's why 90% of the good reviews are only about the pizza. read more

Back again, for pizza this time. It's been a while since I've been to Bella Italia. Pizza, this time. The pie is as good as I've had. NY style with a perfectly crispy crust. The right cheese-to-sauce ratio, with a generous slathering of black olives and mushrooms. Service is quick and friendly. Plenty of tables to eat-in, plus a robust to-go business. Recommended! read more

The food is always top quality, and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend Bella Italia!

The calzone was nothing more than tasteless dough, a very light amount of cheese and the toppings added were a waste as they were not enough. Called requesting extra toppings and ricotta and received a very blah dinner at a high $$$$ read more

ever since new ownership service is terrible. food is still very good although the lasagna wasn't not good. get takeout instead of dining in. read more

Great NY style pizza. And huge! The people rating this poorly dont know real NY pizza. The cheese amount is normal so youre not gagging on cheese. It's oily and crispy and the sauce has good flavor. Been here six yrs and this is one of few who do it right. read more

This is one of my go to pizza places in Wake Forest. They are the closest one to me, but that isn't why I continue to go here. I love getting just a slice when I need a snack. They are friendly and fast. The pizza is hot, crust is thin, sauce and cheese taste great. I have ordered their larger pizzas multiple times. I get order extra sauce and cheese most of the time and they always do a great job making sure they add a good amount. The inside can get quite hot, but that's how it goes with hot ovens and pizza. The inside has plenty of seating, the table and chairs are clean. The floor is clean. I have never had a bad experience here and will continue to get pizza here. I have pizza at least once a week, more times than not, I choose to get pizza from here. When I order for pick up, my pizza is always ready as well. read more

Food was amazing. Service was fast. Would 100% go again. My kids really enjoyed it, which is hard, because they are very picky eaters. The ambiance was a mix of peaceful and energetic, as the music in the background flowed with the blissful flavors. read more

Food is Maravilloso!!! screaming's tale of hell does not answer the ambience screaming tale

The lowdown: May not seem like much from the outside, but inside is filled with the delicious taste of Italy. If you're expecting a fancy Italian Restaurant, then the Bella Italia at this location is not for you. There is some Indoor seating, but nothing fancy. You place the order up at the front counter when you come in. The staff is very friendly, the food is exceptional. read more

Love Bella Italia m, the best pizza in Wake Firest They now have cauliflower crust pizza ( not online yet , you have to call). The xtra large pie is great for parties. read more

A bit small but pizza & wings here are good. Love the size of the pizza just perfect.

First time and finally I've found a slice that comes close to being a slice from a Brooklyn pizzeria! Crispy crust, and just the right combo of cheese and sauce. Just grabbed a slice and a calzone for later. Glad I stopped in to Sherwin Williams to buy paint and was hungry or I might have missed it. I'm happy and will be back. Thank you! (PS - sorry - took a bite before I thought to take a photo!) read more

What truly sets Bella Italia on capcom apart from other pizzeria's in Wake forest is not only the taste though that certainly plays a significant role. It's about the atmosphere - the hustle and bustle of the pizzeria, the aroma of freshly baked dough mingling with the scent of bubbling cheese and simmering sauce, and the cheesesteaks OMG yum! I don't have to go back to NY. I found my place to get good pizza. read more

To begin with, we had a coupon from one of the fund raiser books and decided to use a coupon and try this place out. Pizza, surprisingly very good. Well cooked, good flavor and generous toppings. The place could use a nice makeover and the prices are a bit high, but honestly what place hasn't seen prices go up due to cost of ingredients and staffing. Very friendly staff. They have solid lunch and dinner specials, we will definitely be back. read more

Decided to eat here for 2 reasons:1) Friend's recommendation 2) $15 coupon in Attractions book. It is in WF and has no curb appeal. The interior is not impressive either. 12-15 tables in a dark room adjacent to the kitchen. So far, not the way a 5 star review begins...menu is varied, sandwiches, pizzas, appetizers, and italian entrees. Prices are reasonable and orders are placed at register. I was WOWED by the Customer Service of Frankie at the register! Very friendly and willing to patiently explain the menu. We ordered Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Parm with Angel hair pasta, Mozzarela sticks. After $15 coupon our order was 20 Bonz. Very good value and food was scrumptious. Back to Frankie and the reasoning behind elevating their rating 5 stars. Between orders, and while he was over seeing the Kitchen, I overheard Frankie training a new associate. I was impressed with his approach, and agreed with his message; Customer service matters! Kudos. So glad to witness and it gave me a sliver of hope that there are still those who value CS! read more

Need I say more!?! I swear every time we get pizza here the prices increase. What saddens me even more is that I can't help but wonder if like so many others they aren't taking advantage of what's going on right now.(Covid-19) How can we continue to support our local small businesses when they get away with this!? I wish I had seen this receipt yesterday. I would have taken photos before I posted this review. No way any of the two pizzas were got were worth what we were charged. After seeing this all the more reason to feel ripped off. They should try spreading the toppings like sauce and cheese all the way to the crust. Should go without saying considering it's the two main ingredients and lacking every time ‍ Pizza is good but not worth the $ in my opinion. read more

I highly recommend the white pizza the cheese is perfect with garlic and olive oil be careful of oil drippings if you fold your pizza they don't hold back on any of the ingredients. The crust is perfectly thin with the right texture. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere and people. Convenient parking as well. Amazing garlic knots!

Decided to dine in after an afternoon at the park. As I grew up on Long Island, my review is of my memories of true NY pizza. This comes pretty darn close, but the crust didn't flop like a ny pizza. Taste was good though and I would come back for more. Of course they offer all kinds of Italian dishes but this trip was just for the pizza. They have lunch specials and one slice was only $1.75 and was more like a double slice. One issue we had was when we tasted the water and knew immediately that ice was nasty. We informed our server and she tasted and agreed. She brought new waters from different ice and hopefully they will fix the ice machine. It happens when ice machines need cleaning. Which is why I usually bring my own water bottle. read more

I love the food here! It's very authentic! I always tell them to cook the pizza well done and only get a handful of toppings. Otherwise it's too greasy! They now deliver which is awesome! My mom and I decided to order a calzone and a hot Italian sub! The calzone is FILLED with ricotta cheese and loads of toppings. It was so good. I love the marinara they give you! Very flavorful! The hot Italian sub was okay. I just wish it had a little bit more vinegar on it! I will continue to order from here, especially with delivery! read more

This place was an all around disappointment. The calamari was overcooked and tasted like it had been cooked in month-old grease. Honestly, the worst calamari we've ever had. I had chicken/shrimp alfredo that had more sauce than noodles and my husband had chicken parmesan (pretty basic stuff). It was awful...no flavor at all. We literally had to go into our pantry to 'doctor' the meals up with our seasoning stash. We will NEVER return. $40 down the drain...save your money. Trust me. read more

The white pizza is simply the best pizza around! It is always hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! They are nice, too. We ordered a pizza not knowing they closed at 9:00 pm. We got there at 9:00 pm and they were so nice. A lot of places would have not even taken our order at 8:45 pm but didn't even mention they were closing in 15 mins. I'm a loyal customer because they have delicious pizza and they are nice to their customers. read more

Best pizza in the Triangle - and an awesome place to hold a party - terrific options for toppings.

Pizza is worse than Pizza Hut The staff was super friendly and helpful but our food was terrible and the place looks old and unappealing inside. I paid over $30 for a small-ish pizza and it was not edible. We are throwing it out. The sauce was overly sweet and is causing heart burn from some spice that has a kick (but not a good kick). The crust was hard. I honestly give this pizza a 1 out of 10. We ordered meatballs and they are also awful. We will throw them out too. Please DO GO to the Bella Italia on Durant Road. Their food is GREAT!!!! Different Owners!!! Durant Road Location was closed today so we thought we would try the Wake Forest location. BIG mistake...we will never go back. I am not usually so mean but wow....this was really really bad. read more

Great pizza and fantastic daily lunchtime specials (ex. with 2 slices). Chewy, delicious crust!

Best pizza in town! Full stop. Consistency has been an issue in the past but seems to be back to when the original owners were there(they opened a location off Durant and moved there while "selling" to another owner who has now moved on the the coast opening another, to my knowledge). Just good NY style pizza with tasty ingredients and made properly. Been going to the WF location since they opened back in the early 2000's. Defiantly my go to pizza spot. Can't speak to other offering as we only get pizza. Usually go to Durant Rd location for pastas and such. Also, if you are a ranch and pizza person, get their ranch...it is awesome! I don't usually do ranch with my pizza but love to dip the crusts with the ranch. Edit: staff isn't up to snuff. This is what it looks like when you request "please put pepperoni on top of cheese." I get the pandemic blah blah blah...been spending too much money for too many years at this place for this. read more

I was very disappointed! No taste! I previously ordered here all the time with the prior owners and being from the NY/NJ area originally so I know good pizza. I will have to find a new place. Hopefully, the other location is still owned by the original owners. We need a GOOD pizza place around here! read more

It's your run-of-the-mill pizzeria, which has its own charm. Lots of choices on their menu, food is always hot when I do take out and never worry about it being undercooked. I'd recommend them to family and friends, it's average but good and consistent. read more
