We went here on a recommendation from several random people we ran into while in Pitt. The pizza was mediocre (crust was plentiful but bland). The service, however, was terrible. It took forever for them to take our order, forever to get our food, and (you guessed it) forever to get our check. I'd pass on this place. read more

I have not had pizza this delicious in many many years. The cornmeal on bottom makes the crust crunchy without being tough. Greens and beans delicious. Greek salad and Caesar salad great Highly recommend this place. Why didn't I know about it before. I'll be back read more

Pizza was good, the environment is somewhat of a sports bar. They've got TVs and a bar, more of chill place, not too serious. Good pizza too. If you want just a quick bite to eat in a run of the mill place, it's worth a stop. But I wouldn't say you must go here. read more

Bella Notte - Large pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

What a cute little pizza place. I would have loved to have a $5 mimosa, but since we had my stepson, I decided not to get one. All of us got a monster slice.....holy cow they were big! They were certainly tasty though! Service was good. They weren't busy yet, so it was pretty quiet. Prices were great, especially for the product. I will be back here, hopefully for some booze & pizza next time! read more

Bella Notte - $3 monster slice with pepperoni & olives.... Yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not only is there 44 beers on tap and a wicked good pizza, but the hospitality and service has made this place a staple when visiting Pittsburgh (especially the strip). I can't help ordering extra toppings and even a meatball when i get the chance! read more

Really good and lots of food! Stopped on a Sunday afternoon while doing some shopping. We had pizza, hoagies and a salad. All of the portions were huge. No one left hungry. Only downfall was that the drinks on the bill were incorrect and had to get that fixed. But, we would recommend it! read more

Fine place to eat when visiting the Strip. It's not fancy so if that's what you want, this is not for you. Decor is old fashioned but the place seems clean. Service was friendly and we got out pizzas very fast. I thought the white pizza was good but kind of bland. My husband likes the Greek pizza better. Prices reasonable. Large portions. I would come back if craving Italian when I'm at the strip, but would be interested on trying something other than pizza. read more

Bella Notte - White pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We had a party of over 20 and both the pizza and service were excellent! It may sound cheesey, but I can't say enough great things about our waitress Makayla! On the day of my daughters wedding, we pepper'ed her with orders and yet she handled them with ease. There was not mushroom for improvement. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Bella Notte - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My husband won't stop talking how great the pizzas are here. He comes here for lunch every Friday for the pepperoni special. I have to say the pizza here is great! One of the best kind. They don't have any modern pizza, simple/traditional would fit their selections. Be ware of the portion, one slice might equal to 2-3 slices of regular pizza. It has a gelato stand at the door, so it is prefect to grab a bowl of gelato after the pizza. read more

Being an avid traveller I found myself wandering through Pittsburgh yesterday. On the recommendation of a local, I decided to try Bella Notte although usually I try to avoid pizzerias for their normal simplicity. I must say that I was beyond impressed. Not only did I try their specialty for the day (which was seasoned perfectly, cooked evenly and absolutely divine) but I also tried a local beer, and had the chance to talk to the staff. I learned that Bella Notte also provides breads for surrounding businesses and donates all their left over products at the end of the day - allowing them to maintain their fresh menu, as well as giving back to the community. The staff was knowledgeable and the beer selection notable. Next time I am in town I will certainly be coming back through. Thank you for a slice above the rest! Additionally I was shocked that my beer and giant slice of pizza were only $9 together!! Great value! read more

Bella Notte - Absolutely fantastic!! Delicious food, great atmosphere, welcoming staff! - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

There are many arguments about the best pizza in The 'Burgh. However I will tell you that this place is easily one of THE best. We live in The Strip so I may be a bit biased, but Bella Notte definitely delivers great flavors, crispy crust, and a favorable amount of cheese. The staff is super friendly and the beer list is substantial. If you want to eat there on a weekend, be prepared to wait for a table because like everywhere in The Strip, weekends are their busiest time. However if you're willing to venture out on a week night you're almost guaranteed to get a seat right away. We love this place and are regular customers. For me, pizza doesn't get much better than Bella Notte. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink on a Saturday morning and everything was great. Thee bartender was very friendly and made us feel right at home. We will come back here for sure, would love to try their pizza next time. read more

Great Food - Better Service I recently moved to the Strip District area of downtown Pittsburgh. I fell in love with this place the first week I moved here. Fantastic menu with plenty of options, awesome beer along with full bar selection, and the best part is the service. You will ALWAYS see the managers working and helping there team, which means a lot to me. I have worked for Marriott and Hilton over the last 16 years and can't tell you how much I appreciate seeing the engagement of the leadership team of Bella Notta with not only there patrons but there team members. Even the staff members like Brea have so much personal touch with the customers. In an earlier review Nora B. went out of her way to bring down one of the best managers at this GREAT spot, Daniel. Daniel has not only been courteous in all of my families iterations with him, but he has always gone the extra mile for his team and customers. So please take this review into consideration before listening to people like Nora B. Rick the General Manager is simply one of a kind. He hustles with an old school mentality but acts with heart. I actually witnessed him pick up a check for a mother in need, whom was unable to take care of her son's meal. I don't care who you are - THAT'S HOSPITALITY read more

If you are in the area this place is a must try. 44 beers on tap, beers on special. and best of all killer pizza!!! I ordered a few pints of the Voodoo Ranger IPA as well as a monster slice of pizza. When they say monster they aren't joking. It was like a quarter of a giant pie. Pepperonis did that curly thing; I'm no Bobbly flay, but I think that's a sign of quality ingredients. All in all a bang for you buck joint with great atmosphere, fantastic service, and plenty of good brew. It's that's your scene give it a go! read more

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday while exploring the Strip District. We were hopeful because we had seen some of their delicious looking pizza at tables on the sidewalk. It was a pretty cool day with a rainstorm coming but inside the restaurant it was hotter. We wanted to start with drinks but there was no drink menu and our server seemed extremely put out to tell us what they had to offer. We ordered the white sauce mushroom pizza and it was really good. Our server disappeared though and we had to walk around the restaurant to find someone to bring us our check. The food was great but the service really needed to be improved. read more

Been here for Pizza several times. Today, calzone - wow! Spicy sausage was spicy and so good. It was huge. We will be back! Our waitress was friendly, fast and efficient.

Oh - and got a cool glass with my beer of the month selection and for only $5! read more

The worst manager ever. Daniel was truly the epitomise of horrendous customer service

Good service, but not impressed by the lack of quality food. Ordered a chicken salad which was clearly microwaved frozen Tyson chicken strips. When I go out to eat, I expect better than what I could buy off the shelves at the grocery store. Crazy to me that a restaurant would put their name on something like that. Pizza was fine- slightly spicy sauce, bland cheese and crust, lots of grease. read more

My experience at Bella Notte was just to grab a quick drink - but turned into a trip for some gelato! While the gelato was a pleasant surprise, the service was quite the opposite. Our hostess/waitress was very rude and short with us, and didn't seem interested in serving us at all. Additionally, during the week, they close at 7, which is very disappointing. Although the pizza smelled wonderful, I won't be in a hurry to go back. read more

My waitress, Bre, gave great service and kept my drink filled as well as the other 5 tables that I could see. This restaurant is one I'll definitely remember!! read more

Food is great. However service is ridiculously slow! 2 hours for pizza and sandwiches. Just get take out next time but ask to undercook a bit. Our hoagie bun was very dark and same with pizza. I like mine well done but not the kids read more

Food was delicious! Massive slices of pizza and the hoagie was toasted perfectly! The service was pretty bad tho unfortunately

Saturday afternoon was crowded but worth the wait. Medium pizza was huge, could have done with a small and it would still be to much. But oh how good it was, yummy. We saw a meatball sub go by and thought would have been nice also. People having a really good time while enjoying the great food. read more

Bella Notte - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm the jerk who goes to the pizza place and gets a meatball sub. But I had food jealousy and I had to!! I saw a waitress with a tray full of them and then I watched this guy bite into it and it was done, I had to have it! Was it worth it? HECK YEAH IT WAS! There's nothing like a thick Italian bread bun with 4 heaping balls of meat, enough marinara sauce to satisfy my sauce obsession and melted moz cheese. Does that talk you outta a pizza now? It was REALLY good and worth every bite. I did not get food jealousy over my friends pizza. Will I go back and order the Pizza next time? Maybe, unless I see a Meatball Sub go by again, then all bets are off! read more

I need the 3.5 star option. Bella Notte has a pizza on special every day! The day we went, the special was a 8 slice mushroom pizza for $12. It was a steal! This isn't really authentic Italian pizza, which they seem to be trying to market it as that. It's very greasy and cheesey. I enjoyed it very much, though! The greens and beans were A-Ok. Nothing to write home about, but a fun way to eat some green veggies, as always. The ambiance and service lacks. We wanted to sit outside, and the tables are right on the road. Just pray no one fails at parallel parking! Our server literally only brought our food out. She never checked on us. Not once. We had to get another server to run our credit cards. And when it started to drizzle? No one to offer a seat inside. Mmm.... Not good. Would I come back for the food? You bet! If you just go in to hang with friends and eat some good pizza, it's worth it! read more

I'll preface by saying that I'm from the pizza capital of the world (New Jersey), however I went into this with an open mind... and I was mind-blown. The pepperoni roll was an excellent appetizer, and my buddy and I got a 16-inch pepperoni and sausage pizza. The crust was some of the best I ever had. Wish the pepperoni was a little more prominent, but overall it was some great pizza. Loved the environment, also. Spacious and had a bar. Highly recommend! read more

Bella Notte - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Customer service (2/5): "hello... is anybody there?!?" It took a couple of minutes for someone to take our to-go order. The staff wasn't rude but they wasn't friendly either. They look like they were watching the clock and couldn't wait to get off work. Bella Notte seemed like the last place they wanted to be. Food (3/5) : It taste extremely average! If I was blindfolded and was given three different pizzas to try, definitely wouldn't be able to notice anything distinct besides the thickness of the crush. I only eat cheese pizza so the main part of the pizza for me is the bread and the sauce. The sauce was very regular but I loved the thick crush! I got a half cheese and half pepperoni (my husband ate the other side). That was the first time I saw a restaurant cut up the pepperoni into thin slices... kinda odd but I guess that is their signature. I husband didn't really like it that much. I would give this restaurant 2 stars but since they made such a thick crust, that deserved another star. read more

Really, EXTREMELY disappointing experience! I took my Mom here because I'd been years ago and had some very good pizza. Granted it was two days before Christmas (we were doing our manic holiday food shopping extravaganza), so it was of course extremely crowded. Once we were seated and our order taken (which, not surprisingly due to the crowd, took a while), our food came out relatively quickly. Let me be clear, this review is negative for one reason and one reason only. Our pizza was burnt, charred, and the crust was almost entirely inedible (see pic). The bottom of the pizza and crust were dark brown/black. And, when I asked our waiter if this was normal, he said yes. He asked if we wanted to send it back and have another pizza made for us, but considering how much shopping we had to do and only a few hours to do it in, that was simply not feasible. What should have happened is that our pizza should have been comped, or we should have been offered a credit or something! But, instead of anything being offered or any apology for an obviously overcooked pie, he "apologized" by saying "I'm sorry that you did not like the pizza". Not "I'm sorry that your pizza was burned beyond the point of consumption, here's what I can do for you...". I did see a look of panic - he obviously realized that it was a botched pizza. For the life of me, I simply cannot understand why the waiter insisted that the pizza was supposed to be burned. If I was waiting, I wouldn't have let that pie get to the table in the first place. I looked at all of the other tables, and no one else's pizza was burnt or even overly brown. There was a mistake in the kitchen and it was our waiter's job to send it back or offer to do something about it. In the end, my Mom and I had to eat something, so we pretty much just scraped the topping off of our pizza and left the crust and most of the bottom. Also, three of the pieces were completely inedible, so we didn't even touch them. I rarely leave a one star review, and we still tipped the waiter 20%. Although, I usually leave 30%-40% around the holidays, so he missed out. But, this was simply a horrible experience. And, considering the amount of great restaurants in the Strip, I think I can safely say that I will not be back and not be recommending Bella Notte anytime soon. read more

Bella Notte - The topping was good, but the crust was inedible. - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the strip! Great spot for lunch. I've been here many times and keep coming back because it's always good. If you're in the strip and are looking for pizza or a hoagie, look no further! Prices are reasonable and portions are huge! Seriously the Italian and meatball hoagies are huge and also SO delicious. A hoagie will run you about $10 but that's at least 2 meals! If you don't want to get a whole pizza they offer monster slices. They are def big enough to curb your appetite, 1 slice is plenty. The wedding soup is a little on the salty side, not the best I've ever had. The side salad comes in a small bowl so it's hard to cut and toss...that's really the only thing that annoys me here. Huge beer selection...I think 44 beers on tap! The service is always good and quick. They have tables outside on the sidewalk and if weather permits I recommend sitting there...the strip is great for people watching! I recommend if you're in the strip. read more

While shopping in the Strip, we wanted to grab a quick bite for a late lunch. We stopped in and I got two slices of pepperoni pizza. The slices were enormous, covered in pepperoni and piping hot. I'm normally more of a thick crust fan, but the crispy thin crust here was on point. I scarfed down my two slices, which were probably more like four slices of normal sized pizza, and headed back out the door. Will definitely be back for another slice, or three. read more

EDIT: They really did change the service up since I last posted this. Horrible service. Used to be my favorite pizza in the city (at a reasonable price), but I'm rethinking that. We just had an altercation with a server who refused to split a check when we were paying with cash. He then proceeded to disrespect the party at the table, telling us to 'not give him attitude about it.' Sorry Bella Notte, but we're not children. I don't care if you're working hard - it doesn't give you any excuse to disrespect your paying customers like that. read more

We just ate here with a group of six. We're from out of town and had no idea that the restaurant was closing in 20 minutes. We we're seated on the sidewalk tables. And our waitress (her name was Amanda) didn't tell us about a last call then was very rude when our party asked to order more drinks. Amanda even went as far as lying to us saying that she told us there was a last call. She neglected to stop by our table often enough for refills and brought us our 2 pizzas but didn't show up with plates for us to eat off of for 5+ minutes. Amanda might be better off working as a greeter at Walmart. The margarita pizza was a bit soggy, but the barbecue pizza was pretty good. They also serve lemonade in flimsy plastic cups... read more

This was a pleasant surprise!! The beer selection amazing! The service was great shout out to, Rhett our bartender! The margarita pizza was so delicious and he had many recommendations!!! It was so great! This will now be on our rotation! read more

I have not been too thrilled with the many pizza places I've tried around the city, but Bella Notte was a great change! They have a prime location in the middle of the strip with plenty of covered outdoor seating, an indoor dining room and then a bar room. Our server, Colleen, was an absolute sweetheart! She took very good care of us and I was very impressed with her service. For our party of 5, we split a margherita pizza as well as a meatball/red pepper calzone. Both were crusty and flavorful! I loved the giant pieces of tomato and basil they used on the pizza! It hit the spot and was just what we needed. I would definitely stop there again sometime to try one of their sandwiches or specialty pizzas! read more

Ended up here for lunch randomly because the Polish deli we had originally planned to eat wasn't serving lunch. We are glad we did! The pepperoni roll and sauce was excellent! We also ordered a chicken parm wrap and monster slices of pizza. All really good! The man who called us to let us know our table was ready was very friendly and so was our server. Our server was also very attentive. Great food and friendly service on a busy Sunday in the Strip. It was a perfect lunch and perfect experience. Thank you! read more

Omg.... Their monster slice is unbelievably good. You want pizza in the strip you want to come here
