I'm seeing all these posts on social media, how Florida has some really good pizza spots?! As long as there are spots like La Casa Bella in Brooklyn, I know those Florida claims are from people who left New York. My work buddy who used to work in this section of Brooklyn told me this is the best pizza Brooklyn has to offer. Then my Yelp buddy Lesley O. messaged me and said I have to try this spot. Sold! I'm going to have a slice at La Casa Bella. Walking in at noon, I have the place to myself. Nothing fancy at La Casa Bella, the restaurant looks like a typical New York pizza joint. There are people coming in to pick up whole pies. First time here I'm going in with their famous Vodka slice & Grandma Sicilian slice. The people behind the counter are nice, we all start chatting about the neighborhood (I won't tell them I live in Stony Brook) I grab a soda and take the table by the window. First bite of the Vodka slice, all I can say is wow! Everything is fantastic on this pizza: the sauce is award winning, the quality of the cheese and the dough has the right amount of thin with a wonderful undercarriage, This pizza was cooked just right. Florida couldn't touch this pizza with a 10 foot pole. First time here, I'm 5 Yelp stars out of the gate. Next time I visit, I'm ordered a whole, just out of the oven pizza. read more

La Casa Bella - Vodka slice & Grandma Sicilian - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love their garlic bread topped with fresh mozzarella, a must get for me. The food overall can be good, with a comforting homestyle feel, though the execution can be a bit inconsistent at times rather than feeling fully refined or consistent. The vibe is very much a neighborhood Brooklyn Italian spot, casual and no frills. Service is too laid back, more of a straightforward order at the counter style experience rather than traditional sit down dining. It is usually not very busy for dine in when I go, with more takeout orders and solo diners stopping in for quick meals. Food wise, I have not tried their pizzas yet. The Francese was good, while the veal missed the mark for us, a bit chewy and slightly off, though it may have just been that particular cut. Chicken Francese was better but the pasta came out too tart. The Marsala and clam sauce are fine and decent, but dont particularly stand out compared to other Italian spots in Brooklyn. The penne vodka was good. Overall, it is a solid local option for an quick and easy meal, but not somewhere I would specifically travel for. read more

Chicken Vodka pasta -10/10 I have ordered this countless times. It comes very saucy and in a big portion. Garlic bread 10/10 - comes very fresh and great portions. Their calamari is also very good and amazing portions I always come back to this restaurant for their Italian food! Their portions make it very easy to share amongst a big group. read more

I love this place, I've been here several times for dinner and the food never disappoints. I've also ordered takeout from here and while delicious the pies definitely taste better when eaten here. There's ample seating inside and the servers are attentive. I'm suprised this place only has 3.5 stars since I love everything from their pasta to their pies. The sauce is what seals the deal for me here. This is truly a neighborhood gem and my family and I usually chose this as our pick for our birthday dinners Favorites are calamari, chicken marsala with spaghetti, grandma pie or margarita pie read more

I have been coming here for years and the food is great and I have never had anything bad to eat The service is great and the location has that old school pizzeria setting where if you just want a slice or a full meal you can get it all I love it and will still keep coming read more

La Casa Bella is the local Italian spot that I order from when I want to feel like I'm visiting my friend's Nonna's house for Sunday supper. The chicken Marsala is outstanding, plain and simple. You know you're in for a treat when the mushrooms are sautéed with a smidge of onions and the robust flavor of the wine sauce hits your nostrils within seconds. I always order angel hair with the same sauce and it's just perfection. The pizza here is also delicious and exactly what you think of when you think of the quintessential NY style pizza: thin, crispy, and crunchy crust with tons of flavor and high quality cheese and ingredients. Hands down, you will find the best Vodka slices, both Sicilian style and Neapolitan style topped with fresh mozzarella. The plain slice and OMG slice are also great. I find that if the plain slice is really good, the rest is going to be good too. read more

I recently tried this neighborhood pizzeria and honestly, it was a disappointment. The place had an overpowering smell of Pecorino Romano cheese that hit you as soon as you walked in--way too strong and not pleasant. I ordered the penne vodka plate, which for some ungodly reason was priced at $28 Pasta portion was small, and the flavors didn't justify the steep price. Definitely not coming back or recommending it. read more

This spot having 3.7 stars is a crime. Phenomenal pizza. Whoever rated this anything below 4.5... you must not have tastebuds.

I have only ordered take out and delivery, and I must say, their pizza and sandwiches as well as Italian entree's are one of the best in Brooklyn. Though I have seen their prices go up over the years, I have to say that they use only the best and freshest ingredients in their food. I have never been disappointed so far and order from them at least two times a month. read more

Strong 3.5 out of 5. Pizza here is good and gets the job done when you're starving and find yourself in south Brooklyn where there's no shortage of pizzerias. The eggplant pan slice is pretty good. Thick slices of eggplant on a pan slice with fresh mozzarella and sauce. The dough itself wasn't heavy at all and I could've easily went for another. White slice is fairly unique here in that they add chopped garlic and olive oil which brings it a step above the rest that usually leave it plain. It was good. Sicilian square was ok. Not heavy at all and was just about ok. Decent pizzeria! Ive been here a few times and its always busy so something must be right about this place. Try them out! read more

Excellent food. Too bad it was not bigger but the dinners are great as well as the pizza. Everyone is so nice there. Waitresses can be nicer. My dream is for them to have NICE wine glasses. You can't enjoy a nice glass of wine in a gurgle glass. Am I right? read more

vodka pie. That's all I constantly crave and want after my best friend introduced it to me! Honestly we opt to order a pie between my husband and I because we can almost finish the pie in one sitting minus 2-3 slices- yes it is that good! I have yet to try the scillian version but the sesame crust on the round pie literally seals the deal as you're already finishing up the slice of super creamy vodka slices along with all the cheesy goodness! read more

Very cozy and friendly pizzeria. Service is great, & a perfect spot to sit down and grab a bite. Far from your average pizzeria restaurant. There's several pizzas to choose from. All look so delicious & the ones I've tried taste amazing. There's vodka pie, grandmas, buffalo, the list goes on. I've already ordered pizza on the go, but I do plan on coming again to dine in.

Food is ok. Service not great. Decor is dated. Vodka pie is very good, its just the attitude that is given. Warning Hard to park!!! On my last visit I was picking up an order. I pulled into a legal spot on 26th Ave and DID NOT BLOCK ANY DRIVEWAY! chose to walk around. (didn't park at the bus stop in front or the hydrant.) The worker saw me park! When I came out there was a note on my car. Yeah this is probably the last time. $35 for the vodka pie, yes its very good. But not worth aggravation. The time prior to that, they were rude. ‍ read more

This is real vintage Italian food something I can eat 247 they never miss always great customer service seasoned to the gods

I would give this restaurant a five star because the food is delicious. I think that their lasagna that I always order is the best ever and this time I ordered the eggplant parmesan which was also delicious. The waitress is very friendly and the bus girl came back like every 10 minutes to make sure that we didn't need anything. The only reason I took away a star is because I am all about principle and what they do about the bill is not right. When the waitress brought the bill, I saw that there was a paper attached to the holder mentioning a 3.8% service charge for paying with a credit card and also a 4% operational fee which I knew nothing about. I showed my phone to the waitress with the law as of February 2024 explaining having to,,by law, mention any of these charges to the patron before they order, and not after, and also including these charges in the price of the item itself on the menu. A lot of restaurants do not want to do this because it cost too much to change the menu prices. She said that it is not her fault and to come back the next day to speak to the manager, although I think they were closed today, Monday, anyway. She said that they have a sign up front where you order pizza although that does not help people who are seated in the dining room. We would never see such a sign although I did not go up there to check it. FYI , they charge you $15 if you bring your own bottle of wine, even if you bring your own opener and own glasses. read more

I am a sucker for a nice vodka slice so a buddy of mine recommended this in comparison to Spumoni Gardens. Had the traditional vodka slice even though the vodka Sicilian was calling my name.. The sauce on this pizza is phenomenal and also had a slice of barbeque chicken. Both were very filling and I would highly recommend trying their vodka slice. Wasn't too drippy and had a great robust flavor. Will definitely want to try their regular chicken penne vodka next time! read more

If i could give this place 0 i would just because the server they had was serving pretty much except me because im in a predominantly italian American neighborhood. I like the food but i had to keep going up to the cashier to get my order. I would stay away from this place. They all seem a bit rasist to non white looking people. The table next to me was getting served pretty well i just never felt so left out. Even when i was trying to get someone attention. read more

This review is based on takeout We ordered over the phone: Chicken Marsala with a size is baked ziti Orecchiette Calamari and stuffed mushroom The Marsala was amazing. Chefs kiss! Orecchiette was good. The pasta felt a bit over cooked but it could be from the packaging. The calamari had a pop, nice chew, and nice light breading. THE RED SAUCE! That was superb. Very nice match to the app Stuffed mushroom was ok. It seemed a bit over loaded with cheese. The restaurant was small with maybe a dozen small tables. Very local spot with pizza that smelled delicious. Overall i enjoyed it very much and didn't wait very long! Just go back again. read more

I had come here for years and it is one of the places i miss most about Brooklyn since moving. I don't care about what the critics say, Portnoy is an idiot. This place is solidly 10 on their vodka square. The OMG and Bruschetta are also easily over 9s! If there isn't a line outside this door (or even if there is) you should head in and grab a box of slices to try for yourself and decide. You will find yourself trying to scarf down more even if you feel like your waist is going to pop. Best pizza in America! read more

I have been dining here for years and can't believe I have not reviewed La Casa Bella.. birthdays, get togethers and just wanting delicious Italian food in a chill vibe atmosphere has been reasons why we dine here . I believe this restaurant started out as a pizzeria and expanded. It's a classic neighborhood eatery with owners who deliver consistent warm customer service. The owner always comes to talk to diners, especially long term clientele. This offers a personable experience which has an authentic ring to it...I like that! Now for the food.. La Casa Bella offers excellent down home Italian fare with classics such as Shrimp parmigiana, Mozzarella sticks, Veal Marsala, Chicken francese and I can go on and on. I've tried just about all the chicken dishes over the years and enjoyed every entree. Unfortunately, I'm not a die hard fan of their pizza.. Bay Ridge and Bushwick serve better pizza. We always share Caesar Salad and fried calamari with mild/spicy sauce on the side. The dressing on the Caesar is lip smacking good( use the generous portion of bread to sop up extra sauce) and the Calamari and both marinara sauces are delicious; just wish it was prepared crispy. I've also eaten my all time fave Linguini with clams in a white sauce which is a golden standard. Tonight I wanted to try something different: grilled shrimp with spinach ( substituted for broccoli), farfalle in garlic and oil. I loved the shrimps( big and plentiful) but the spinach overwhelmed the dish and there was no taste: garlic and oil barely present. I should have asked for a light portion of spinach. My friends ordered Veal Marsala and Chicken parmigiana frequently and always rave. The desserts are decadent: the tartufo is a standout and pistachio, chocolate and vanilla are pretty much always flavor options. The chocolate lava cake with a side of tortoni is also a standout. Here some unfortunate disconnects: our waitress who served us,not who placed our orders, was a bit off: if we ask for new utensils please say yes with a smile, asked for tartufo and she stated " I'm not sure if we have it due to a fridge problem?"Really? I ordered an iced cappuccino and she states " we don't have that, only hot" thus my friends show her it's listed on the menu. She states " I'm used to serving patrons who dined in the winter and don't order iced capps ." Serve large pasta entrees in a bowl, large plates really don't work ( chicken parmigiana) and shellfish needs a small bowl to dispose tails. Look I hate to complain.. this is a great restaurant however, staff needs to be on point.. how about " Let me check that for you" vs " We don't have that" goes a long way. La Casa Bella is accessible via different modes of transit: X28/X38 bus leaves you 4 minute walk from eatery. D train to 25th Ave then B3- Harway Avenue bound bus(adjacent to station) leaves you also 4 minute walk away. It's really worth the trip! read more

Overall Rating: 5/5 Can you guys sense from through the screen that I am practically in love with this place + Italian food :X haha this is my third review for this place!!! My cravings = satisfied every single time. The cover photos of this place consists of 3 of my photos :)))) Food: 5/5 oh my lord!!!! THE VODKA PIZZA SLICES ($4.50) DO NOT FAIL. ITS LITERALLY HEAVENLY ESPECIALLY STRAIGHT OUT OF THE OVEN. THE TASTE, THE SMELL, THE SAUUUUUUCE I'D GIVE IT A 11/10. The sauce just drips with the slice of pizza and its flavor is just on point. It's so creamy! My mouth is watering as I speak and I kind of need myself another slice... White pizza slice (4/5 ($4.50)) As this was our second slice each, it was a bit cool by the time we got to it. We were too focused still on the Vodka pizza! But, the cheese was definitely not melting as it did when we first got the order. If it were heated up once again, I don't see why this wouldn't be 100%. Thing is, it might be a bit bland in terms of the entire slice covered with two (?) different kinds of cheeses? OMG slice (4.5/5 ($4.50)) We were recommended this to us! It had artichoke hearts, spinach, tomatoes, ricotta, fresh mop, and Romano topped with balsamic glaze and a sesame seed crust. Definitely loved the twist with the crust! The combination of the ingredients definitely put this all together. Again, I'm more of a meat lover so I might be a bit picky on this, heh. Ambience: Still with the televisions and the music - it made it a nice ambience to eat it! Price: Total came out to be ~$18. This isn't really out of the ordinary especially the quality that comes with the food. Service: She looked like the manager but girl oh girl she is so enthusiastic and suuuuper chill! She even complimented me :) 10/10 recommend. read more

Best vodka pizza I've had. I didn't like vodka pizza until I've had theirs! Thin crust with tons of vodka sauce and melty cheese on top. $26 for one pie. It's so good, my mother decided to order it two times in a week. Their sauce is so creamy and delicious and I love that they put sesame seeds on the crust. I just go for pickup but their staff seem super friendly. I came on a Friday evening, and their restaurant was at capacity and filled with people. read more
