Bella’s Pizzeria

I don’t see the reason to return.
First — the pizzas had a good flavor, but they were too thin and lightly topped for the price. Salad looked fresh… though tasted a little chemically.
Second — the dining room décor and restroom were. ehh; though they were clean.
That’s enough to conclude the star rating. There are too many other pizza options to prompt a return.
I do not rate a place based on service or individual personnel because every body has bad days. Service affects a rating only if problems are obviously systemic from management or owners’ rules. Yet if I wavered between 2 or 3 stars the fact there was only one counter person and basics like refills and napkins were ignored probably sealed the deal. A wine glass was brought with lipstick/​gloss on the side and the server asked the guys sitting at the bar (manager, customer?) whether it would be OK to pour the wine into a new glass. This made me think, «I wonder if other decisions, I.e. hand washing, require such pause.

This is not five star pizza, but it is five star value. Lunch special two slices, tea, and tax for $ 6.00, and two toppings at that, yeah this is a bargain even if the food isn’t that great.
Saturday afternoon, 11:30 — 12:00 I’m the only patron there and that’s kind of weird. Service was great, because the waitress had plenty of time to spend with me. She offered the lunch special and said they just put a pizza in. Not sure how they sell by the slice at other places, but here they partially cook a cheese pizza and slice it. Then they top the slices, and continue cooking. This is great for people with a thirty minute lunch break.
When the pizza came, it just screamed school cafeteria pizza. Or maybe a ballpark pizza. The dough was soggy and limp. There was no crispness to it. The pepperoni and sausage were so generic. The mushrooms were fresh though and I actually liked them being only half cooked. The sauce and cheese was forgettable. Also there was a strange sweetness on the underside of the dough. Not the best pizza, but then again it was just ok. The slices are not the biggest in town, but it was the perfect amount to satisfy me.
There are salads and desserts. Calzones and pizza rolls. My next meal will be the chicken Alfredo roll. They have stuffed pizzas and sandwiches. They have draft and bottled beer so that’s cool. Also they cook pasta and ravioli.
I will come back, but mainly for the value. I see this as being fast food at fast food prices. I wouldn’t have scored so high if the price was greater. Also you have some one star reviews that are unfair, and I’ll use my vote to help balance the score.

I went there with my wife because she had mentioned it was good pizza. To be honest my guard was up. When we got there they were extremely busy and service sucked. I was almost to the point of walking out but then our pizza came to the table. It’s hard to explain but the crust/​sauce and topping were perfect. Not over whelming on anything but perfect balance. My wife was like I told you. Probably my top 3 pizza places in the Memphis area…

This place rocks. The place delivers authentic Italian food. And this ain’t Pizza Hut it’s good. My favorite is the supreme stuffed pizza.

The food was excellent. The pizza was greasy but once we tasted it that didn’t matter. Even better than the pizza was the Stromboli. It was amazing! We also had some toasted ravioli which was okay, nothing to write home about. But if you are looking for some great pizza and even better Stromboli, definitely give Bella’s a try!
The service was excellent, and we were there during weekday lunch. The restaurant is beautiful as well.

Wish I could rate the food but the service was so bad we left before ordering. There were 2 tables full and another walked in after us with 3 waitresses. After 20 minutes of nothing we went to whaleys right across the street. Delicious and phenomenal service. 5 stars for both food and service.

Terrible is an understatement! I placed a to go order & I ordered 2 orders of the garlic knots, there was no garlic flavor on nothing I ordered, they actually taste like can biscuit dough soaked in vegetable oi! l I eat these all the time & thought I’d give Bella’s a try… should have followed my first mind and not went to Bella’s. I also ordered the Bella’s White Pizza… it was so damn nasty I threw it out the car window on my way home. Their food is bland, tasteless, no garlic or Italian flavor at all!!! It was the worst $ 18.72 I’ve ever spent on pizza & garlic knots. Now I see why they only had 1 customer in there (besides me) on a Friday at 6pm. They won’t be in business long for sure selling mess like that!!!
Very disappointed :-(

My wife dragged me here on one of her many «let’s try new places» adventures. She wouldn’t let me eat just pepperoni because she said that’s a waste of eating at a fancy pizza place (she’s soooo bossy ;)) So I gave in and tried the Buffalo Chicken pizza. It was amazing and is now my favorite pizza ever. Get it with extra cheese! Also their gyro’s are good, too.

Ok so we got take-​out from here and gave a few new things a shot. I would like to note that the sampler is a tad decieving as it sounds like it will be sampling things but really it’s just putting them all together and pouring sauce and cheese over them… I’m not sure if that’s just how the things I picked come normally or if that’s just what they do, but I was disappointed both in it because it wasn’t easy to share nor do I think they had everything I asked for in it. It was hard to tell since it was all combined together. I just wish they had called it something else or explained it better on the menu.
Besides that, we had a good take-​out experience. Mom wasn’t impressed with the gyro but I still love it. I also was deeply impressed with the chicken parmesan, which I got for Mom and never would’ve tried myself otherwise.
Their pasta dishes come with garlic knots and side salads. The balsamic dressing is a little strong so it’s best to get it on the side (we always do just in case). The knots were pretty good as well.
This place has a little of everything so give it a shot.
Notes:
~ DELIVER!
~ Vegetarian options! I noticed they have separate listings for meat stuffed pasta shells an cheese stuffed pasta shells!
~ Parking lot up front is small but there’s more parking in the back (as well as a small outdoor seating area).
~ The owner does also own two doughnut places and I cannot wait to try Jody’s– they’re open til about 8 or 9!

We’ve been waiting to try Bella’s. It’s been in business a few months so we went to try the pizza. We have a favorite pizza joint in Collierville as well as in Germantown so everything gets compared to those two.
We ordered a half Bella’s Special (spinach, tomatoes, ricotta, mozzarella) and half Supreme. The Supreme had tons of toppings, but the spouse was jealous of the molten cheese on my Special. Both were good and service was great. Not sure we will switch to Bella’s on a regular basis, but it’s an option.

I live out in Germantown and this is my go to pizza place. Everything is fresh and tasty and much better than chains.

It definitely could have been better. The service was good for the most part, but the food needs some improvement. I had the Greek salad which was all right (nothing out of the ordinary) I also had the supreme pizza and ravioli. They were both mediocre. The pizza was $ 15.99 for a medium. I think that’s too expensive. It was sort of bland and the sausage tasted a little fatty (or not well cooked) the ravioli was good, but also too expensive. It was about $ 9.00 for just 4 of them…

We live in C’ville so thought we’d give it a try. The pizza and Greek salad was very good. They had generous toppings, lots of cheese, and as others mentioned. the crust was great. I was pleasantly surprised and will be back.
Service was excellent.
it’s a tad pricey. 15.99 for a med specialty pizza or about the same price when we ordered a med 10.99 + 2 toppings at 1.89 ea topping. If it wasn’t really good I would have been disappointed… but it was really good
It’s in an older little dated shopping center but they did an ok job fixing it up. I thought the bar was kinda nice and i think we’ll actually eat at the bar next time as it’s not as much a ‘bar’ as it is high top seating. (the multiple TV’s were a nice touch)

What this little place lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in good pizza, exceptional Greek salad and caring service. The owner is really serious about the service and genuinely appreciates your business. We had pepperoni on one half and chicken Alfredo pizza on the other. Light sauce with tasty seasoning on the chicken. We will go back.

I’ve been twice and I really liked the pizza. I like thin-​crusted pizza, thus it worked well for me. The wait staff is also very friendly and checks up on you to see if your drinks are filled. The price of the pizza is really reasonable.
FYI, the owners also own Jody’s Donuts in the Memphis area.

Delicious pie! Perfect thin crust and delicious toppings. Fresh flavors and unique combinations. The waitstaff worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. We ordered the Brooklyn Special and it was really good. The sausage was thinly sliced and well seasoned. Highly recommended!
