Got hungry while on shift and wasn't drawn to hospital cafeteria food.. came upon Bellacino's on Yelp & decided to give it a shot. They don't have an option to online order, so after looking at their online menu, I was able to call in for delivery. I initially wanted pizza but was interested in their chicken alfredo and boneless wings. So far, the food is amazing. The food was still nicely heated upon delivery (which took about 45 minutes, shorter than what was relayed to me on the phone). I skipped meals earlier today so I was beyond starving. Boneless wings: hot flavored with blue cheese dipping sauce! There was a good amount of zing in there.. I had my bottle water within close proximity lol The garlic bread that comes with chicken alfredo was yummy! Creamy alfredo sauce and juicy chicken pieces. Definitely satisfied with my order and will be returning to them in the future! read more

I'm extremely disappointed by how I was treated during my visit today. Recently, I discovered that Bellacino's had a rewards program through their app where creating an account gives you a free half grinder. I also discovered that the app provides a referral code, and when someone you refer makes a purchase, you receive another free half grinder reward. There was no indication to me that there was a limit on how many people you could refer, so I referred several friends and family members and used the rewards that were provided to my account. Today, my sibling and I went in to pick up our rewards. My sibling had a free half grinder and a birthday reward, and I had a free half grinder. The owner approached us and immediately told us that we needed to show ID or he wasn't going to give us our food. I was confused and tried to calmly explain that the rewards came from referring friends and family through the restaurant's own app. I even tried to show him the referral information, but he refused to let me explain or show him. Instead, he berated us in front of employees and other customers and accused us of essentially taking advantage of the restaurant and "stealing" free food. At one point he mocked me by saying, "Yeah, you guys are just referring Joe Blow and stealing the food." I repeatedly tried to explain that we weren't stealing anything--we were using rewards that were being generated through the referral system Bellacino's had provided. If the owner believed we were misusing the promotion, he could have simply explained the issue, told us the rewards wouldn't be honored, or explained the rules. I would have been completely willing to have a respectful conversation about it. Instead, we were publicly embarrassed and treated as though we were deliberately doing something dishonest. An employee in the back was also laughing during the interaction, which made the situation even more humiliating. The owner ultimately told us that this was the last time and that if we came back to get something free again, he would call the police. I understand that businesses can change or restrict promotions, and I understand that a business owner has the right to decide how their rewards program is used. What I don't understand is why this couldn't have been handled respectfully and privately. If there was a problem with how the referral program was being used, I would have been perfectly willing to listen and stop using it. There was absolutely no need to berate and mock us in front of customers and employees. I have enjoyed Bellacino's food, which is what makes this experience especially disappointing. I'm leaving this review because customers should be able to use a rewards program in good faith and, if there is an issue with how they're using it, be informed of that issue without being publicly humiliated. read more

I get it, it's just one slice of pizza but come on. It cannot be that hard to reheat a slice of pizza. read more

Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders - Pizza Near Me - Lima, Ohio

I've gotten subs, many of the appetizers, and pizza from here and they are all so good! The people who work there aren't usually the friendliest but every once in a while, you get an awesome person or two. The place isn't really big inside so if it's busy you kind of feel like you are sitting on top of each other. Drinks are self-serve so that's nice so you don't have to bother the person at register for that. The pizza is probably one of the best pizzas in the area! read more

It's just changed over the past few years, not good, greasy, customer service has diminished

Great food, fast friendly service. It was a great find our last trip to Lima. We will definitely go back.

There is a lot I could say but take my advice and don't waste your time. Go up the street to Milano Cafe for better food, excellent service at about the same time and price. read more

I hope you like premade, store bought sauce. There is absolutely nothing authentic about this place. The service doesn't care if you need anything or not. JUST HORRIBLE read more

I dont ever leave reviews. However, i would never eat here again. The cobb salad was odd. The chicken mushed in my mouth could not finish it. It was almost warm the lettuce and the eggs seemed room temp too. The chicken was so gross it was almost mushy/slimy. The wings.... They tasted fine but i could have gotten Tyson boneless wigs and they would have been better. Hopefully it was a bad day for them. But 18.00 of food and i had to wait 25 mins without for warning for a to go order becauss no chicken wings were made. They didnt tell me when i ordered them. I didnt even finish the salad had to give up like 8 bites into it, pretty disappointing and a waste of money. read more

Order a sub with garlic bread. Everything tasted fine until I saw hair in the garlic bread box. I'm not saying one strand of hair... multiple strands of hair in the food... could be more provided I didn't accidentally eat any of it... Returned and was compensated. Management helpful. ROUND TWO! (Update 9-9-18) Try again. How hard is this? Boneless wings with Bleu Cheese. Forget bleu cheese. 0-2. Thankful for no hair in my food this time... but come on... attention to detail one time? read more

Best pizza in Lima/Elida, no question. Tried several other places and not impressed at all (threw them away actually). This is the place for good pizza. read more

It's very nice place to eat because those waiters and waitresses are always super sweet and kind love it

Overpriced for the quality of food you receive. Customer service is terrible. Very rude people. Sauce has a weird flavor to it. Toppings were burnt. read more

Once again, Bellacino's horrible phone service gets on my last nerve. My employer has an open account with Ballacino's, allowing us to order meals without paying out of pocket. However, the person taking my order demanded a purchase order number. Having never needed one before, I didn't know what ours was. So I had to put the order on my credit card. Then he told me the pizza special was for a two-topping pizza when the flier I had in my hand clearly said it was a three-topping pizza. He also couldn't keep track of the items I was listing for him. And he needed three tries to get my name right. I spelled it for him each time. After all that, delivery took an hour. Granted, I was warned it would take time because of bad weather, but our office is less than a mile away on the same street. In short, don't expect an easy, quick transaction unless you guy in person and in cash. And Bellacino's, do some phone service training. read more

The food is really good at portions were tremendously plenty I felt like I was in Italy yeah I miss fear was warm and inviting food was deliciously satisfying read more

My husband and I ordered a Sicilian pizza with pepperoni, onion banana pepper and ham and loved it. Great cost with a garlic butter on the edges. We would definitely order here again for pizza! read more

Amazing pizza. Staff is always friendly. I am a fan of the meatball grinder, but their pizza is to die for. The sauce compliments the crust and cheese perfectly. The restaurant is clean and when there is a problem, the management works hard to make it right. read more

I went there today after leave next door neighbor, Penn Station, and was delighted to see the ALL employees wearing masks after leaving the establishment above disappointed over the lack of necessary hygiene and compassion for the their fellow citizens. Anyway, store was actually very hot inside but the workers there were all wearing face mask due to the coronavirus pandemic. Anyone working with the public in these times gets my respect. I know it can't be easy so but I can say that these employees here are doing a great job considering the challenge. Also, the food was excellent. Thank you all for your service read more

Has good food and fast service. Some stuff changed do to COVID has no menus have to add them with phone using a QR code.

Though the serve decent pizza, I come here for thier grinder subs. My favorite place for a hot sub or meaty Calzone.

I've eaten here at least eight times over the past couple years and every time has been great. I've had several of their grinders and, just recently, their pizza. It's all great. I like that's it's a laid back, order at the counter and they bring your food to you atmosphere. The prices are right too. Highly recommended. read more

Bellacino's has yet to disappoint my family and I. Always great service and even better food! Their pizza and garlic bread is fantastic but I also love their grinders! Especially the Rueben! I love that when I'm craving a Rueben it's just a call away! Oh did I mention they deliver! And always quicker than expected. Which is a blessing for us in the heart of Elida with not many delivery options! read more

My wife and I have eaten here 3 times now. so far my favorite sub was the Chicago steak sandwich and my wife loves the Italian sub. recently we tried their wings and I was really surprised how good they were. highly recommend you try them. read more

Had the chicken bacon ranch grinder tonight. Delicious! Also got some garlic cheese bread. Yummy!! Now that's the way garlic cheese bread should be! Awesome garlic spread an lots of cheesy goodness! Oh we're going back! read more

I don't even know where to start with this bomb a** restaurant. Im not originally from the state, and most pizza places around here are worse than what they served us at my high school cafeteria. Not here. My favorite thing to order is a cheese calzone with meatballs and it is a DELICACY. The food is constantly good, always served hot, and I've never had to wait an insane amount of time for my order. But what made me write this review was the closing staff on Feb 6th. I didn't know they close at 9 so I ordered at 8:50 and without hesitation they said my order would be ready at 9. They gave me literally no indication (no attitude, which I rightfully deserved some) they were closing in 10 minutes. I showed up at 9:06 for my curbside pickup only to realize they were closed after the worker had to unlock the doors to bring me my food. I felt SO BAD. I apologized profusely to the lady giving me my order because I hate being that guy, but she was so nice about it. That whole closing crew is awesome. From the person that took my order, to the person making it, and the person bringing it to me, they dealt with a grade-A pain in the ass but never let me know it. Thank you guys for being the only restaurant I know I can't count on every time. read more

I love Bellacino's! There food is delicious. I may take a bit longer to prepare than some other fast casual places but it is worth the wait. Always fresh ingredients, great flavors and good size portions. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely the BEST sandwich shop in Lima! read more

My families favorite pizza!! We order from them on almost a weekly basis. The calzones are excellent as well.

The calzones are addicting! They have a great deal one pizza slices for lunch too! Good price for good ingredients and plenty of menu options. They are our go-to pizza delivery or quick lunch when we are in that area! read more

I recently moved to Ohio, and this place has been my staple. I literally have this place at least once a week now. The food is absolutely outstanding, the delivery is in reasonable time, and overall I haven't had one bad thing from them yet. I'm a super picky person when it comes to pizza, but I'd rather have this over almost all other places. Great Job guys! read more

Wonderful service. Best pizza place on the west side of lima. I visited here after an unpleasant experience at mellow mushroom. I've had better pizza but the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the staff will have me returning. read more

This place has the best calzones in all of Lima. Their delivery range is huge which is nice. They also have really delicious dessert pizza and subs read more

This is a decent restaurant when dining in. The food here is delicious at reasonable price. The portions are extremely large from 18 inch subs to calzones big enough to feed a family of 5. The one bad thing about this restaurant is the wait time. After ordering it takes a really long time. On most occasions it takes about 30 minutes. Other than that it a great place to dine in. read more

I went to Bellacino's and had a small 3 item barbecue sauce pizza. The pizza only costs $6 but I was expecting a little bigger pizza than what I got. It was about the size of the pizza hut personal pan pizzas I've had in the past.The pizza itself was ok but the barbecue sauce was very light and not that great. There was a hotness/heat that I wasn't expecting(maybe from the sausage) in the pizza. Overall not bad, but i've had better elsewhere.They do have specials on Monday and Tuesday.Not sure if i'll be going back though. read more

Service was painfully slow, 20mins just for 1 whole grinder. Menu is very expensive and the food lacks fulfillment and satisfaction. Never coming back! read more
