This is now one of my favorite overall go to places in the Burgh. Had the best stuffed peppers, the sausage was the finest in the land, the sauce, which believe me I am hard to please when it comes to a red sauce, was the perfect combo of sweet and acidic, I would drink it in a sauna. The pizza was phenomenal and the Stromboli's I would smuggle into Italy. Great outdoor seating faced a mural, watched the people drool over my food as they walked by staring at my love fest of grub in the city streets. Whenever you may roam through the Strip do not pass by without finding something from this joint to throw in your mouth. Don't blame me if you die before bringing heaven into your life. Eat it up. read more

We stopped here for brunch on a Saturday morning. We arrived before the rush. They had a Bloody Mary and mimosas special that we took full advantage of. It was $5 for each and they had a mango mimosa but I didn't try it. The Bloody Mary was spicy btw. We ordered lunch pizzas and picked out toppings. A friend of ours ordered a slice of the breakfast pizza and it was huge. She didn't eat it all but it was good. The Italian hoagie sandwich was orders and it was very big as well. Everything was very good and came out very fast. Our sever was pretty attentive and kept checking on us when we needed her. Overall great meal at a good restaurant! read more

Allie was amazing very helpful with everything!! Food was so good and homemade!!! Will for sure be back!! Great place before the game!!!

Our lunch was amazing! Italian Stallion hoagie and Italian Parm hoagie. The bread is made here, so fresh, and it makes the sandwiches so damn good. Great service too while they were crowded. read more

This is my second time eating at Bella Notte, on the Pittsburgh Strip. Tonight, I ordered the Sicilian Steak. First taste impression was, WOW!!! The steak is so juicy and tender. The cheese, melted to near perfection. And, the bread, so fresh and soft! Paired with a Rhinegreist Truth IPA, couldn't have picked a finer dinner! I highly recommend checking this place out, if you find yourself walking the strip, one day!!! read more

Bella Notte - Dinner and beer - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stop by here this past weekend. We' were out here for the Pittsburgh opening game from San Francisco. (Husband is a big Pittsburgh fan) Our first time eating here and wasn't to happy. Place was crowded I'm assuming because of the game the next day and all the out of town people. We get seated quickly but everything else was super slow. It took forever to get help. Every person just walked by us. Even when we said excuse me, excuse me that person walked right past us. Finally Katie came to take our order. Two slices one just pepperoni the other chicken and garlic. A coke and two waters and one beer. Once our drinks came after a long while it was one soda and one water. Our beer finally came as well. Once our slices came my pepperoni was great but my husband who ordered chicken and garlic got a chicken and green bell peppers. Our waitress never came back to say do you need any these and when she finally did we asked hey is this chicken and garlic pointing at alllllll the green peppers on it she says yes and walks off. It took so long to get our food that he just ate it. We did ask for another water a few times but it never came. The pizza was really good but the service was lacking. read more

Me and my daughter make it a point to come here. We live about 20 min drive. Really enjoy the nicer months and sitting outside having a slice and people watching. The pies are great. Really enjoy a crispy crust. A slice is huge also so keep that in mind when ordering. read more

First off, the host was totally honest. When we asked if this was the best pizza in Pittsburgh he said: "Not even close". Top 5? "Nope ". Well we decided to try it out anyway and frankly we were disappointed. Service was spotty as are waiter would come and go but not really check in on our table. We ordered the hoagies and it took at least 30 minutes. Six orders placed and 5 hoagies were served. That usually rates a ZERO stars but they did take it off the bill. They are so many better establishments on the strip. This place is a hard pass in my book. read more

Yummy food and drinks! First time in Pittsburgh and felt really welcomed! Definitely coming back here! Ret the Bartender was super nice!

This place is great! I almost feel guilty for not reviewing it before. The monster pizza slices are definitely big enough to curb ones appetite. They use good pepperoni and are liberal with the amount that goes on each slice. There are two bars in case you walk in and see the one is full, walk around the other side and there will likely be a seat. They also have outdoor seating on nice days. The staff are friendly and happy to answer and questions you have about the menu. The beer selection is great! If you are walking down in the strip district treat yourself to a monster slice at Bella Notte read more

See all

I LOVE Bella Notte! One of my absolute favorite Pittsburgh pizza places! When I came back to town after being away for a few months, this was one of my first stops. Huge portion sizes and an absolutely delicious pizza make this a Strip District staple for me. Don't expect any frills - Bella Notte is traditional, simple, and delicious. read more

Bella Notte - Mushroom and garlic pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place was absolutely my favorite place to eat in Pittsburgh!! Everywhere else we went were so rude!! We walked in with a party of 8 and the hostess was super nice! We were going to eat at Roland's at first but the manager was so rude. It was like he was discouraging us from putting our name down. Anyway, we received our drinks right away the server was super nice!! We ordered our food and that was even more amazing then we thought walking in there. We had some more drinks and as we were waiting the server came to the table and gave my nephew a bag with Pokemon and football cards. My nephew was super excited!!! As we were getting ready to check out the server came over and brought my husband and son two beer glasses for the "Out of Towners'!! It was a great gesture!! The food was amazing, the service was great!! We will definitely be back when we go visit!!! read more

Spectacular frozen drinks, great service and delicious food! This was the perfect start to our staycation this weekend. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and hubby had the chicken Parmesan sandwich. We both enjoyed them thoroughly! read more

Got a slice and it was yummmmmy. Great covid precautions. Should have a better rating.

Went there for the first time with my cousin and her kids from out of town. There was 4 adults and 3 small children. Food was mediocre at best. Waitress was nice enough to begin with and then had a total meltdown. My cousin went to pay and my cousin took her card out to pay. My dad raised his hand to say no cause he didn't want her to pay and the waitress reached to get the card bumping her arm on my dads hand. She had a meltdown and started shouting (loud enough for the next table to look over at us) that my dad was grabbing her and just being rude. He had his hand in an open palm gesture the whole time so he never grabbed her once. After we paid and left we saw her at the next table over pointing out the window at us and talking to the other family. read more

Affordable, variety, good location. A lot of beer options, but unfortunately no sours! Only complaint is seating can be awkward and service a bit slow. Definitely recommend the pepperoni roll! If u don't mind a little grease :-o read more

Bella Notte - Pepperoni roll & fat heads bumble berry beer - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Third time eating here. Service this times was rude. Ordered my food after my kids did. Waitress said "can you speak louder" instead of excuse me I didn't hear you. I thought it was a bit abrupt as did my son. Food came and the meatballs on my sub were good the bread too doughy and undercooked. My son ordered the pasta of the day which she said was bowtie pasta but when it came it was a short rigatoni. Weird that she didn't know what the special was. The sauce was soupy at the bottom of the bowl. Waitress shouted across-m the dining room asking if we were ok, that was pretty classless. Went to go to the bathroom and it's across a short hall and offset. Waitress said I couldn't use that hall I had to go around thru another room and come down the intersecting hall. Said it's because it was the exit for the kitchen. But I still had to come down the hall and since it was before lunch she was the only waitress working. So I skipped the bathroom. She brought the bill and I bent over to sign the credit card statement and she got in my way and said excuse me I am going to clean the table now. I told her that it could have waited till the customer finished what he was doing as that the more important thing. She said don't talk to me like that. Told the manager at the front cashier that it was the worst customer service I have had. read more

I'm not sure where to start. Let's start with the food itself. We ordered an Italian Stallion hoagie, garlic bread with cheese and a chicken parm wrap. The garlic bread was soaked in butter and cheese grease. The Italian sandwich and the wrap were mediocre but not positively bad by any means. But here's the kicker. We all got violent diarrhea as an acute result. I also got stomach pains and nausea as a reward for eating there. Going to the bathroom all night made for a "beautiful night" indeed. Then there was the service. Long story short, everything took forever. It got so bad that in order to get our check we had to all get up and start walking to the entrance. This place is a dump. read more

Excellent cocktail and wine menu. Belle Notte never disappoints. Shout out to Paige, our server, and to the scallops over linguine special which is my favorite dish. read more

If you're looking for authentic Italian this is your place! Every single thing was delicious! We started with the stuffed banana peppers and bruschetta. We got some pizza, the Italian stallion and a Buffalo wrap for dinner! Everything was amazing! Service was fast and we got right in for a table! Definitely stop in if you're in the area! read more

I got two meatball subs yesterday. On each end was missing meatballs. So half of sub wasn't there. I just looked at it. I mean I know you gotta save some money because of the pandemic but damn... I could not serve it if it wasn't right. Hopefully they can correct it read more

This place is big and has a pretty vast menu of bar food. They also have lots of beers. They will serve you a DRIED UP old slice of pizza. I've not tried ordering a full, made-to-order pizza. But by the slice, be warned. Service is slow. The servers (server?) are hustling, but must have too many tables. They seem to avoid eye contact as they speed by my table, forcing me to go "excuse me," and wave vigorously just so I can close out. I tried a hoagie once, and it was huge, but about 3-stars in taste/quality. Maybe they favor serving size over taste. So overall, I say it's not worth another visit. If you've visited them, please post a review. Yelp On! read more

We ordered a giant calzone which was basically one of their yummy pizzas folded over. You get to pick two toppings so we did pepperoni and bacon. They load you up with your fillings and one calzone is enough to feed to hungry adults. Our friend got the Cesar wrap and it looked fresh and yummy read more

This is one of our favorite Italian spots in the Strip District. The portions are large and it is very rare to leave this place still hungry. We always get the buffalo chicken pizza and it never disappoints. Highly recommend. read more

Bella Notte - Buffalo chicken pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Visited on Memorial Day, ordered the pizza of the day (margarita) and it was priced special to $15.95. Also got the Italian hoagie to split. Overall, good was good, pizza was hand tossed crust that was still a little chewy (depends on what you like, this was great for me) Would gladly visit again read more

Picked up a pepperoni pie over the weekend to give this local spot a try for the first time and the pizza was decent. The pizza was rather heavy and was full of toppings. I personally prefer to have a thinner pizza but the crust wasn't a deterrent. The cheese had good flavor and it was definitely filling. Overall if you are in the mood for more of a football pizza, this is a good option to try. read more

Finally stopped here for lunch... instead of seafood, instead of Thai food, I insisted on pizza. I had also been impressed with the bloody mary's I'd seen other people drinking there. So, this seemed like the moment to finally give Bella Notte a chance. I was with two other very experienced pizza eaters. the combination of toppings on the Mediterranean Pizza was great. that is saying a lot because I usually do not go for pizza with chicken toppings. I am also a great lover of olives and basil. the hot pepper rings in this combination really set things off. read more

I really like this place! The pizza has always been pretty delicious to me! Service is good. Great drinks and beer selection is awesome. Nice chill atmosphere. On a nice day they open up the front which makes it perfect. read more

Bella Notte - Pepperoni, bacon, and olive - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Deja-vu Time: I recently had myself an Italian "Stallion" hoagie from Greentree's Other Place. Prior to a concert at Altar Bar (I might as well get a loft nearby), I had Bella Notte's Italian Stallion and was duly impressed. While almost as large as Other Place's, which utilizes a whole loaf of Mancini's bread, Bella Notte's is a hefty foot long of toasted bread in its own right and contains mortadella (!), genoa salami, capicola, pepperoni, provolone, and the usual l-t-o. Punctuated by an equally pungent housemade vinaigrette, I'd say Bella Notte's and The Other Place's grinders would fight to a 12 round stalemate. P.S. The service was fine, and no drunken mole-men were encountered this time. P.P.S. I'm still baffled over Bella Notte's average 3-star rating. Give 'em a chance, people! read more

Bella Notte - Italian Stallion hoagie - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped by here 2 Saturdays ago with my wife for lunch. It was a nice day outside and while this wasn't our first choice in a restaurant, it did provide the immediate outdoor seating that we were looking for. I have probably been past Bella Notte hundreds of times while walking through the Strip District. While I have thought that the pizza and drinks have always looked good, for some reason I have never stopped. My wife and I arrived at Bella Notte right around 1 o'clock and were immediately seated at the empty outdoor table. Due to that I didn't really didn't get to see much of the inside. The outside seating section of the restaurant consisted of a number of tables right along Penn Avenue with room inbetween them and the restaurant for people to walk on the sidewalk. Since it was a sunny Saturday, this provided ample people watching for the entire time that we were there. For lunch both my wife and myself got a beer each (reasonably priced too in my opinion) and then we ordered the bbq pizza to split. The BBQ pizza consisted of bbq sauce instead of the normal pizza sauce and then had chicken and pineapple as toppings. Since I am normally able to eat a large pizza all by myself I wondered if I was going to leave slightly hungry. However that fear proved the unfounded as my wife and I ended up leaving and even taking a piece with us because we were so stuffed. The pizza itself was quite good. I really enjoyed the BBQ sauce as the pizza sauce since it had a little sweetness to it. That made it pair quite well with both the chicken and pineapple. The real star of the pizza though was the cheese. There was so much of it on the pie that even without the toppings it would have been quite filling and tasty. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Honestly I am not sure why I have never stopped here before but I enjoyed their pizza and thought my wife and I had a nice lunch for a good price. read more

Fantastic pizza - WHEN THEY DON'T BURN IT! We come all the way from Akron, and love this pizza, but this seems to happen from time to time. I have politely reminded them sometimes in the past to make sure it doesn't burn. Rule number one in cooking - BE ATTENTIVE! A second Pizza came out with wrong toppings, but the manger fixed it. Mistakes happen, but customer service is all about how it's resolved! GREAT PIZZA & CUSTOMER SERVICE! #ChubbyChristopher read more

We were just passing through on our way home from Kentucky. It was Steelers game day on a Monday so everyone was packed. Checking in was easy and they got us in ahead of our quoted time. The beer selection was great we had Mango Cart and Rhinegeist Crumb Cake. However the best part of our visit was our server Bree. She was super friendly and boy was she hustling! You could tell she is awesome at her job, hustling but totally chill and handling a ton of tables. read more

This place is a straight up joke, after my first bite of the "greens and beans" I half expected Ashton Kutcher to come out yelling punked. Wow how bad can Italian food get in the Burgh? I sent my greens and beans back. The greens were burned and the inside of the dish was cold while the outside was hot. The place was smelly, like moldy rag water and the food was disgusting. The greens and beans were noticeably microwaved and who knows how long ago they had been prepared. The IC Light was on special for $2.00 drafts. That was Bella Notte's only saving grace. More amusing then the pitiful food was the fact that Maury was being played over the bar on a 52in flat screen. Every 5 minutes are so the signal would get lost on the tv. That place is fairly trashy. read more

I come here every time I visit the strip when I'm in town! I've tried a variety of items including the meatball hoagie and calzone! The hoagie is without a doubt my favorite and the bread is usually fresh from a bakery down the street (according to my waitress). In addition, the serving sizes are massive and I rarely ever finish the entire thing so I have leftovers to snack on later in the day. It is also just a great place to stop for a beer while walking around the strip. The service is a bit slow so if you're in a rush, this either isn't the place for you or you need to make sure you put your order in quickly. I've only ever come here though when I want to sit, relax, and enjoy a drink. read more
