    What can I say.... This place has been around for so many years for a reason. I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a little girl. Great staff, food, drink options & vibes. Just a super chill place. Nice place for larger parties too.....

    Iykyk is a  place for any event.

    Food options are endless. I recommend the wings or potato skins to start. Pizza is always Papa's Favorite. Meatballs are what wrapped up our meal. Service is excellent as always especially the fact they had a large party next to us. I personally recommend the Garden side. They do have the Game side for the kids or anyone celebrating wanting some fun . The vibe is always the best . iconic spot for Chula Vista.

    It's be a few years since I've been back and it didn't disappoint. Went for lunch little after 12pm and plenty of tables available. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Amazing customer service. I love the old school vibe it still has. I tried the Boston Lager Fish and Chips. 10 out of 10! The tartar sauce was delicious and they do have the malt vinegar. Definitely going back soon.

    La Bella Pizza Garden is located on 3rd Avenue in Chula Vista. This restaurant opened its doors on October 19th, 1955 by an Italian couple from New York, Tony and Kitty Raso. The name "La Bella" means "the beautiful." I've been coming to La Bella Pizza for many years and got a chance to meet Kitty Raso she was such a lovely lady. We always enjoy their meat lovers pizzas, but today we decided to order their Original Lasagna a 1955 Recipe with Meatballs, Boiled Eggs, Mozzarella, Ricotta & Parmesan 4.5/5 stars. We also decided to order their Original Buffalo Wings. La Bella's have upped their game on these chicken wings they were very crispy with a lot of flavor. This was our second time trying these wings and were outstanding like the first time trying, our new favorite in the area...5/5 stars!! The service was great. Give it a try! Happy Yelping :)

    We were out for an event in Chula. Vista area. We ran into a coworker and he recommended La Bella. It was super crowded but we decided to go anyway because it was highly recommended. The staff was friendly and attentive. The place was busy and we didn't have a reservation so I didn't get a chance to sit inside or look but I heard they had an arcade. The outdoor tables were a bit crowded together but it seated us all fine. People did have to get up for each other when another group had to leave sometimes but it wasn't a big deal. The pizza was really good. We ordered a salami, sausage and mushrooms pizza. Although the mushrooms were a bit hidden the pizza itself had the right ratio of sauce and crust. We all enjoyed the taste. I would go back again.

    Had a family style dinner this Friday. It was pretty busy and because we were a party of 5 did take us about 30min to wait for a table but the hostess kept checking back in with us and providing us updates. We had the pizza party family deal which worked out perfect! We ordered antipasto salad, buffalo wings, the works pizza and a pitcher of red trolley beer. Considering it was super busy Friday night our server Andy was amazing and provided prompt service and wow was he busy! But always checked in on us. The salad was freshly made and pizza was great with that family style crispy style crust,

    We were going elsewhere but they were closed since it was Monday. We wandered down 3rd St and saw La Bella. The place is bigger than we thought, but since we had Cako, we sat on the front patio. The young girls were friendly and I guess, since we were eating outside, I paid first and one of them brought it all out. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, interesting that the pepperonis were under the cheese. The pizza was delicious! I ordered a meatball sub to share and this was really good too! It was pleasant outside and they had can soda. The only think I didn't like was that we felt like we were a to go order and not customers. No one checked on us, but then again, we already paid so I guess no reason to. So it's more like 3.5, but I rounded up.

    ****This review is for their take out counter on the street side**** Looking for a late dinner option, we decided to stop by La Bella and order some food. It has an old school Italian restaurant vibe. We got a large pizza, large side of cheesy bread, and a small Caesar salad. Ordering was easy at the counter and our food was ready within 15 minutes. The portions were big which helped to justify the price point (large specialty pizza was $35, large side of cheesy bread was $9.50, and small side of Caesar salad was $8.50). The food was hot and fresh. The pizza was thick and held the toppings well which we liked. We were definitely full after our meal and even had leftovers for the next day. Would stop by for another pizza fix!

    Quick and speedy service when you want a good pizza and beer with the family. Family playroom is good for the kids and also if you want to shoot some pool.

We shared the rustic salad, Parmesan dough balls (make sure you dip them first in the sauce and then in the garlic & cheese), salsiccia pizza with only meat on 1 side. I appreciate that they offered ranch, chile flakes and Parmesan for our pizza. CLEANLINESS The employees were very quick to turn over tables and you would see them working fast. Overall, people seem to love this place because it has tables for large and smaller groups and they were almost all full. This place hit the craving I had for delicious pizza!

I got the jumbo shrimp with squid ink, the ribeye, and the carbonara. The ribeye was covered in sauce, which I personally would've preferred without, but it was still good.

I was also a huge fan of the double-sided balsamic vinegar and olive oil bottle at the table. Overall, definitely a good Italian spot for sure here in Chula.

They have one of the better lasagnas I've had & the spaghetti is the best I've had. Chicken Parm is a winner with me too as is the Margarita Pizza. For an appetizer I get the Mushroom Ravioli, very flavorful & the bread you get with the Olive Oil to start with is pretty good. Desserts are hit or miss, wasn't really a fan of them, salads are good tho. Customer service is cool, polite but they can be a bit friendlier & check on you a bit more for drinks. It can get busy at times so just have a little patience (in my Guns & Roses Axel Rose voice) it's worth it as their food is good & they are polite & go as fast as they can. And don't sleep on their Calamari it's real good. Definitely our go to place in the South Bay for good legit Italian food.

After a few minutes on the phone, the interaction felt unnecessarily suspicious and uncomfortable, so I cancelled the order. I then contacted Slice support, who called the shop and relayed that the order was already "on the way." Given the timing, that didn't seem credible. My issue isn't the food, it's the lack of transparency and how the cancellation was handled. We had been regular customers prior to this, but based on this experience, I wouldn't order from here again. I'd recommend customers assume there may be little to no cancellation window once an order is placed.
