Bella’s Pizza & Restaurant

Horrible service called in to have an order delivered and the order taker quoted the wrong price she was very argumentative and rude told me to pay the extra money or send the food back! I will be looking for a corporate number to complain to them. All she had to do was admit to her mistake haven’t ordered in a while not sure if I’ll order again.

I stopped in here since I was starving and this was the first place I saw near where I was. I can’t say I was particularly impressed by the drab décor and yellow lighting. It definitely looks like a Take-​out only place, but I appreciate the effort put forth to ask if I wanted my pizza for here or to go.
I got the Veggie deep dish pizza. I’m not sure how long it had been sitting out because the cheese was its own entity. I took a bite and all of the cheese came off. It didn’t taste that special to me, but it satisfied my hunger.

This review is strictly for the pizza which is DOPE get the veggie by the slice it’s orgasmic

bella’s is the best I have had in this area for ever. super taste, friendly staff, always hot.

Love love love the pan pizza is addicting plus the chocolate cake is heaven love this place, the ladies here are really friendly.

Food is okay, pizza alright, pasta good, BBQ chicken sandwich ok, fries good, salads not good, mozzarella sticks huge and nasty. Front desk pretty rude, you may experience some older woman who’s fighting with her son (who also works there, depending on his mood he may be really nice or mad at his mom). She yells pretty frequently and she also answers back (customer is never right for her). My biggest problem with them is their poor kitchen cooks who are sweating like crazy in the summer as their only ventilation is a big metal fan outside the side door aiming at the kitchen where you can see them working fast and so very tired (on occasion the older lady yells at them to hurry up.

This pizza is The BEST!!! ive been going here all my life 22 years!!! Even when the original place got burned. No place compares not giordanos not naples not paisanos BELLAS IS THE BEST

I love bellas. I mainly use it for pizza by the slice for carryout. The deep dish veggie is always excellent and i love the cornmeal/​butter crust. I highly recommend the spinach lasagna.

This pizza is great. Carryout slices and for delivery. Its not much walking by. Walked past 100 times thinking it would suck. I wish i came here sooner. I am really writing a review because the young guy who works the front usually for lunch deserves a mention. He is ALWAYS genuinely friendly and polite to all the customers. Most people who work the front selling slices at other places have horrible attitudes. I hope they keep staffing great people.

They let someone use my stolen debit card information yesterday.

Best pizza place in chicago! Especially their thin crust! Mushroom & green pepper! Also their fries are AWESOME and their nachos!!! Seriously my fav place ever since i was a kid!

This is the worst pizza I’ve had that I can remember. Cheese was rubbery. Crust was cardboard. Separate from the poor quality, I also found a hair on the pizza. Never again.

I wanted to like this place because it’s a small business near my apartment, but it truly sucks.
I went in on Thursday around dinner-​time to grab a sandwich and except for two off-​duty cops the place was empty. Great, I thought, this will be quick. I ordered a chicken BBQ sandwich and Diet Pepsi, which came to nearly $ 10. A little steep but whatever. I waited… and waited… and waited. The gal at counter had about as much enthusiasm for the job as a sloth crossing a deserted highway.
Twenty five minutes later I get my food, which tasted mediocre at best. They actually put a goddamn tomato slice and yucky lettuce on my BBQ sandwich. WTF?
The fries were OK, some of which I fed to my dog. Well, I won’t be going back.

You get what you pay for here. In exchange for cheap prices, you get horrible service and disgusting food. I can’t speak for the pizza but the vegetarian calzone that I got was just plain gross. There was way too much pepper, not enough cheese, and here’s hoping that the vegetables inside won’t make me sick.

Don’t order delivery from here! This place is horrible. They took two hours for pizza and 4 phone calls later the delivery woman shows up with no shoes (yes, barefoot) with food that was obviously sitting for two hours being thrown around her beater as she drove who knows where. The owner had no good excuses, in fact, no excuses. I will never support this business again. And a waste of money for frozen ingredients probably heated in a microwave.

Walked in waited 5 minutes for some help and walked out, pizza in heating trays looked awful

I ordered a pizza and an antipasto salad from this place. When the delivery came, the driver went to the wrong house, showed up at my house without my order, and then went back and got it – I waited about 15 minutes after his initial phone call to get the food. He gave me ribs instead of a salad. I called back and asked for them to send my salad; after waiting an additional hour and a half for the food to come, and I called and asked for a refund for the salad ($ 7.95). I have not received this refund although supposedly it was processed immediately.
I was additionally troubled by sexist overtones in dealing with both the delivery driver and the person I talked to when requesting a refund (probably the manager). The delivery driver only addressed my boyfriend when we finally got our food, even though I was obviously the person he spoke to on the phone (and the person paying his tip). When I asked for a refund, the male I talked to repeatedly addressed me as «baby» on the phone, which is incredibly disrespectful, creepy, and gross.
When I filed a complaint with GrubHub today about not getting a refund, they resent my order instead of refunding it. The driver showed up while I wasn’t home. They disturbed my confused downstairs neighbors and roommate, and also left me several missed calls and one brash voicemail. Not only was my dinner last night ruined by their poor service, I continued to have to deal with their total incompetence the next day.
The food also wasn’t great; the pizza tasted bland, and the crust seemed under cooked and was the texture of cardboard. The ribs I didn’t want were rubbery. No idea how the salad is, as I said I never received it.
This was my first time ordering and I will never be ordering again. Mediocre food, even worst service. This place is absolutely terrible, DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

Not sure about their other choices, but the «deep dish» pizza or whatever it was supposed to be was awful. 4 bucks for a slice, it was stale and room temp (12:30 lunch time I went, not like it was an off time). Didn’t even fill me up and I would’ve been better off buying frozen or spending another dollar and go down Chicago Ave to Bacci’s for a piece twice as big w/​a free drink.
Edit: haha just read some of the other reviews; yup comparing their crust to a saltine cracker is right on the money… it is in fact more bland than a saltine. Anyone who considers this the best pizza in Chicago is off their rocker or an employee of this place.

Wow ! There are some crazy reviews on here lol Here’s the real deal people.
Hands down the best pizza in Chicago !! My family has been ordering from this restaurant as far back as I can remember.
Never had any issues with the food, just the service… sometimes. It totally pisses me off when I order a special, that comes with pop and I ask them repeatedly to bring a cold pop and don’t. Ugh !! That’s about it lol
Try the pizza, ribs, and baked mostaccioli… The BEST !!

I guess I got the good delivery driver.
Hungry on a Monday night, I stumbled upon this place via GrubHub. Being a huge fan of Pepsi products over Coke (and being extremely thirsty), I ordered a pizza and a 2-​liter. I went for the pan pizza.
The pizza is f-​f-​fantastic, and it’s everything I could possibly want in a pan pizza. It’s cheesey and bready, and delicious. The pizza alone is worth 4 stars. The 5^th star is for carrying Pepsi products.
This place rules.
