Gets better and better if that is even possible. I can tell by the smell alone that the food is amazing! Staff are all warm and welcoming. Make you feel like family! Sauces, whether pizza, tomato, alfredo or piccata are all EXCELLENT! Pizza is real NY style because it us made thin, the way it should be. Garlic knots are amazing! Fresh made fried zucchini and even freshly made mozzarella sticks are a must try! Fresh and delicious made with love and top notch ingredients! read more

Such a good mom and pop place we had great service and great food. I got the pasta duo which was a crazy portion! I highly recommend that if you you're wanting pasta. The chicken piccata was great. The star of the show was the buffalo chicken pizza, we get buffalo chicken pizza almost every where and this one had us coming back. It was their special of the month at the time but the waitress said if they have all the ingredients, they could make it whenever so I assume this one can made remade any time. read more

My husband and I go to Bella's often for dinner and occasionally order takeout. Great food! Great staff! Friendly employees. Would highly recommend Bella's!!! read more

Every time I visit Bella Pizza & Pasta I get the same excellent service and the same amazing and delicious food! The ambience is not fancy, but it is very welcoming and has its own charm. I really love this place! I don't write a lot of reviews, but wanted to give a shout out to Natalie! Every time we see her, she always greets us warmly and her professional but easy-going demeanor makes everything seem so effortless! Living in Mesa we have a lot of excellent dining options, but Natalie sways our choice many times to Bella Pizza & Pasta! read more

Restaurant seating is good, clean. The service was 100%! Polite, helpful, attentive but not intruding. The range of menu options offered was respectable. We opted for pizza. ***3 out of 5 stars. Greasy enough to soak through the take home box. Unable to pick up a piece and eat because crust was so thin and limp. We needed knife and the fork to cut pieces. Toppings were minimal (sparse) in quantity. Maybe a pasta dish would come across better? We'll give them another try and go back to try that side of the menu. read more

Great service, even better food! Stumbled across this place and soooo happy I did! Tried the salad, garlic knots, pizza, and lasagna... everything was AMAZING! Will definitely be coming back! read more

This is a cute little Italian spot. Stopped in for some garlic knots and pizza on a Saturday afternoon and had a delightful experience! The gal working the front was very friendly and great about keeping an eye on refills and explaining the menu. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the garlic knots and pizza at the restaurant, but thought it was even better the next day after we took some leftovers home! We can't wait to return and give more menu items a try. read more

Pizza, turkey sub, and nuggies were very good. Great ranch and very east coast style of ambiance and food. Service was very polite and helpful. We will be coming back! read more

I didn't eat... used to eat here all the time and went back tonight for the first time in years. Place stinks like sewer gas.. People were just sitting there eating like it didn't stink. I've noticed this at a lot of places in AZ. Maybe the grease trap needs cleaning? Either way I left. read more

The people were all nice but $40 for 6 pieces of dry ravioli, a handful of salad, and carbonara that we are pretty sure is bacon and not an egg based sauce is crazy. We were really excited to try this place because of its reviews and our love for Italian food but this was unfortunately very disappointing. The sauce on the ravioli tastes like it came from a $1 can of crushed tomato especially considering the amount of water in the container. Besides all that the salad was great and the people were kind! The place looked cozy and clean. read more

5/31/25: Short version - solid eatery. Food, service, & atmosphere were all good. Nothing really stood out that I would say "wow!" about. More people popped in for take out than for dine-in. Long version - Bella is a cute little place with a pretty hefty menu. We arrived this particular Saturday for a late lunch; we were the only two dine-in customers so the sole server, Brayden, we had all to ourselves. He was exceptional: friendly & attentive. Appetizer platter: fried, fried and more fried! :-) It had a nice variety of items (the fried ravioli mozzarella were my two favs). I will say the chicken strips seemed a bit tough & thin. Garlic knots: delicious. Small bite-size knots w/ enough garlic to keep the vampires away. Ha! Just the way I like them. Shrimp carbonara: the shrimp was huge & my sister enjoyed it. Bella trio (choose 3 entrees): the eggplant parm w/ spaghetti needed another slice of eggplant & less spaghetti, and the cheese ravioli was a decent portion. For both of these, I will say the sauce was a bit of a let down, in that there did not seem to be a whole lot of flavor / spices to it. All I tasted was tomato. It definitely could use a bit more pizazz to it. The chicken picata was my fav of the 3. You could def taste the lemon. My only critique with it would be the white wine butter sauce was a bit runny. Desserts: I know the lemon mascarpone cake is not made in-house (we saw the box), I'm not sure about the chocolate lasagna. Of the two, the cake was the best because it had the most flavor. The choc lasagna was an Oreo cookie crust, ice cream, & what tasted like normal choc pudding (nothing fancy about it). The two or three other customers that came in for pick up were getting a pizza. Seeing that, if we back to Bella (it's 35 miles away; yes! we drive all over the valley trying new restaurants every week), we will def have to try one of their pizzas next time; perhaps a calzone or hot sub. read more

Good value and tasty food. The pizza slice are pretty much the size of a small pizza! The Margarita pizza is simply good and the Best with ham is good too. The cheese sticks are a good appetizer and you won't go wrong with just a slice of pizza and wings. We got the wings at medium and it was mild for us. The servers are super friendly and will have full conversations with you or leave you to eating if you so choose. Its a nice spot and will remind you of a New York pizza joint. read more

This place is really close by my friend's house and we were craving pasta! I had read a lot of reviews for this place and was really looking forward to trying it! When I arrived, the lady at the counter took a while to find my order even though I had placed it well ahead of time and we arrived after our estimated wait time. There were a couple tables dining in and it seems like a nice casual spot. I'd be willing to come back and try their pizza which seemed to have gotten good reviews. Unfortunately, my friend and I both disliked our pasta dishes. She got the shrimp scampi which came with 6 small shrimp total on a huge bed of fettuccine pasta with NO SAUCE. The pasta was extremely dry. My chicken piccata was the same. Two thin pieces of chicken breast, equating to 1 whole chicken breast, on top of a huge bed of dry fettuccine noodles with no sauce. There was not a single caper to be found. The side salads were pretty standard. The highlight of the meal was the garlic bread that accompanies the pasta (forgot to get a pic but it was flavorful and delicious) I also got an Italian hoagie and asked for the dressing and mayonnaise to be on the side so that it wouldn't be soggy. Unfortunately they did not do this and I ended up with a soggy hoagie. Very disappointing. read more

Their calzone was fire! I took part of it home and my daughter started drooling! We also enjoyed the cheesy garlic bread and my wife had pasta and salad. The staff was friendly, and it seemed to attract a very family-friendly crowd. read more

When you first walk in, it's very small and seems more like a pizza takeout place. Definitely not a cozy place for pasta, but we still wanted to remain open-minded as we saw someone mention the Alfredo was great. Sometimes ambiance isn't everything! Plus, we both had our minds on pasta and found this establishment via the Yelp App. To start, we ordered the fried zucchini and were off to a great start! Loved the breading and the ranch tasted like it was made in house. Before ordering entrees, I inquired if the cheese ravioli was made in house or not. The server advised they would check, and they advised it was not but they hand-bread if doing the fried ravioli. That made my mind up to pick the eggplant parm with spaghetti while my Yelp Bestie (Chelsey H.) did the Alfredo. The Alfredo was decent, but lacked the flavor of fresh cracked black pepper or Parmesan to give it a little extra pizazz that I'm used to. Additionally, the eggplant parm was mushy in the inside. Almost as if it was either frozen if making large batches to use later as some kitchens do, or was made with mushy eggplant/over cooked. Both dishes were not a do over for us, but we did end on a high note with the lemon mascarpone cake! Don't skip dessert if dining in. Overall, I landed with a 3.5 Stars so I'll rate 4 stars. Not a dud, but definitely not my destination in the future for pasta. I would love to try pizza when in the area as that seems to be their speciality! All the staff we interacted with were very friendly. read more

Great little neighborhood pizza and pasta place. Each of the 4 of us ordered something different and everything was Delicious. all employees were very friendly and attentive. Liff bff ed the garlic knots!!! read more

Small family run place (my favorite). The service was very friendly and efficient. Wr started with the fied zucchini. It was really crisp, be careful, its hot! My wide had medium garlic wings and a salad. She really enjoyed both. I had a Bellas best pizza. It had great flavor and lots of toppings. I know it's New York style, but i like my crust slightly thicker in the middle. I have to admit it, but was just as good in th AM. Overall. Outstanding. We'll be back. read more

We Picked up a pizza on Saturday to take to family that lives nearby. It was our first visit and on entering the restaurant we were greeted warmly by the owner. The interior is small, but quite comfortable. The pizza is solid (one of the better ones we've had in the valley). We ordered a sausage, pepperoni and mushroom and it was cooked perfectly. The crust had just the right amount of chewiness and the sauce had great flavor. We also had some fried zucchini (made in house). We will definitely be back and look forward to trying the fried ravioli! read more

This is a great little pizza spot. The pizza is yummy and the staff is super friendly! Great place to try.

Brayden was very attentive and the food was great. We ordered pasta, an appetizer and pizza. The chicken piccata isn't the same as Cheesecake Factory so if you have that expectation then just order pizza. read more

Finally found some good stuffed shells. The sauce was really good and that made the dish even better. It was a nice portion for $13 and came with some great garlic bread. I also tried a large slice of pizza, which was definitely NY style and I added a $2,50 side salad. The homemade blue cheese was great on the small salad. Welcome back to New York. read more

This is your average Italian place nothing fancy garlic knots were decent. We ordered a pizza to split between my wife and I it was pretty greasy and there was next to no sauce on it. It was really odd overall very small place not bad. There was only one server working so you had to get her attention or she would walk right past you. read more

Decided to give this place a try. Friend said they were good.. Ordered extra large 16 inch with 4 toppings.. Order of fried zucchini... Little pricey for the amount of food I got.. $31 and change for those 2 items.. Pizza were actually pretty good. The fried zucchini had seasoned batter.. Nice and crispy outside.. I have to say one of the best fried zucchini I ate in long time.. I would eat here again. They have pretty good selection of other dishes.. Maybe I'll try pasta dish next time. read more

I used to love this place especially since they had cauliflower crust. Their pizza was fantastic but it has since changed. The pizza seems to always come out soggy, the dough is just ok, they no longer allow substitutions on the appetizer platter so you end up with chicken strips when no one eats meat, and they only give a small amount of sauce and charge for extra. I thought maybe I just had a bad experience but went back and it was the same. From now on I will be getting my pizza next door. read more

Bella Pizza & Pasta! Located in Mesa on Ellsworth & Guad right next door to Pour wine & taproom. . It's location for east valley people is pretty solid when you can grab a pie and pint right next to each other! I know pour has its own kitchen but no word on whether or not you can BYOF inside or if they run promos with Bella or not. Regardless, each establishment is solid in its own standing. . Bella has a rock solid New York style pizza and aside from pizza they have an insane "Bella Trio" special where you can get 3 entrees for $18.99 read more

Review of my visit on Friday, December 16, 2022. I don't hand out 5-stars often on a first visit; however, this place deserved it! Upon entering this establishment, my Mom, brother, and I, were greeted promptly by our very cute waitress. She was superb! Very positive attitude and super helpful! Tough decisions on what to order. I went with the personal margherita pizza and requested onions as an additional topping. Speaking of toppings; they were top-notch, plenty, and fresh! Just enough sauce, not overpowering. Plenty of slices for a meal and had a few slices to take home. One of the best margherita pizzas I've had. Only regret is not ordering a larger sized pizza so I had more to snack on later. Drinks were refilled when needed. Our waitress checked on us without overdoing it. Food arrived in sufficient time and presented well. This is a small restaurant, a "mom and pop" type of place. Located in a "strip-mall", there is sufficient parking, at least when we stopped by for a late lunch. Appears to be in a good area, easy to find. They also have NY related goodies for sale. Drake Devil Dogs and Drake Coffee Cake, shipped straight from NY. My Mom and brother got some. I bummed a couple Devil Dogs from my brother for desert later... LOL! Will return to this restaurant again! I guarantee! I'll try something different when I'm in town! Most strongly recommended! read more
