Pizza Bella

Small town yet glorious food. lasagna was to die for with all you can eat salad. service super friendly and professional yet homey. Try this sweet place in Ridgeland SC

Ok. So they claim they make «NY Style, Hand Tossed Pizza.» Maybe if you found a slice in Manhattan stewing in the gutter that was hand tossed there then yeah.
It took over a half an hour to get. It is frozen pizza. (Which explains the wait time.)You can tell in obvious ways. You don’t need to be a connoisseur. Lift up your slice to find it perfectly spaced with «fork dimples» on the bottom of the «dough.» The shape is pretty much a perfect circle.
In case you couldn’t tell just by looking at it. Once you bite into it no doubt will be left. I get this isn’t NYC. But at least make your own pie. Otherwise you’re just plain lazy. (Along with grosse false advertising.)
The Men’s bathroom is a mess. There was a huge hole kicked in at the lower right side of the toilet. A heap of crumpled drywall on the floor. Or maybe it’s «pizza» crust. I was too afraid to investigate.
Flies seem to enjoy the décor though. The server only came by twice in between dropping off the appetiser & pizza. I had to request a second soda without the mountain of ice the first one had in it. You couldn’t even see any soda in the cup.
In conclusion, there was nothing beautiful about Bella Pizza. Stay home and enjoy some oven baked Elio’s instead.

Wings 5 stars
Pizza 2.5 stars
Service okay. Seems like the employees think their job is more of a hangout than anything.
Will come back if back in the area.

Great food, fair prices and a super friendly, accommodating staff.
I have just recently moved into the area. After reading reviews, I decided to try Mamamita’s, (the other non-​chain pizza restaurant in town.) BIG MISTAKE! Their pizza had hardy any cheese (I even asked for extra, extra cheese), it was bland and ended up in my garbage before I could even finish the first slice.
Pizza Bella was a pleasant surprise. Their pizza is authentic New York style here in the deep south. My partner is from the big apple and he loves Pizza Bella! Their food is always fresh and never disappoints.
We’ve tried their pizza, burgers, wings and many of their appetizers. They have the best burger I’ve had since moving here, hands-​down. Definitely try their wings (we get ours extra crispy) and cheesy bread sticks.
I’m giving them a five-​star rating because their staff really go the extra mile, the food is always consistently tasty and you’d be hard pressed to find a better restaurant in this area.

The fried shrimp and steak dinner was way above my expectations! Fresh shrimp, very light batter, almost tempura, and a very fresh steak, perfectly grilled. Baked potato was old, but my friend’s fries were good. Salad bar minimal but fresh.

Ehhhhh
It was ok
SUPER BASIC
nothing to complain about… it wasnt terrible, was just sub par
Had great service though

Wings, calamari and pizza were good. Veggie pizza was a bit wet and too much oregano. What pushed this up a star was the service. That was excellent.

I was very disappointed by the sign they had up saying world’s best wings. They were far from that probably some of the worst wings I ever had the grocery store sell frozen wings that tastes better than these. Sorry this is just the way I feel.

So glad we stopped here on a road trip! I saw the sign southbound on 95 & we chose Pizza Bella for a lunch buffet. The parking lot is small so you may have to park in the rear lot or across the street at Rite Aid.
Their lunch buffet changes daily (Wednesdays are Japanese, Fridays are spaghetti.), each day has pizza + hot bar + salad bar + dessert on the buffet with small town prices.
We ate there on a Sunday and the buffet had pizzas, fried chicken, beef stew, mashed potatoes, green beans, rice, mac and cheese and lima beans. The dessert was peach cobbler and various cakes with an ice cream machine! Warning — mac and cheese so good my husband and I got into a fun fork fight over it! All the food is homemade and very delicious, a lovely small town restaurant.
The sign on the door says Sunday go to church instead of hours, dont be confused — they are indeed open Sundays & popular w the after church local crowd.
I will definitely keep this in mind on our next road trip!

Proximity of pizza Bella was a plus next to the days inn after a long day of driving. Salad bar was simple but ok. Wouldn’t recommend the turkey (mystery meat) or blt subs (where’s the tomato?) but they were doing a good business. Must be the pizza.

Food is fair. I got a calzone which was ok.
It is a typical pizza place, pizza is greasy. Salad buffet is also fair.
