Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria – Columbia City

Such a great place for dinner! Service was good, food came fast and it was super tasty! We ordered an appetizer, two pizzas, three desserts and two drinks for $ 100! Not bad for 5 people l, definitely will come back!

Came here for my co-​workers birthday lunch yesterday. It was delicious and the service was pretty quick. Our server was interesting, but was nice and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and it was not crowded. I would come again for their lunch specials.

Came here for a solo wine n dine myself night on a Saturday and got seated right away in the loft upstairs. My server Thea was so wonderful! Super friendly and attentive.
I got the La Lucia cocktail, which was tasty — it wasn’t very strong but also not watered down.
Pietro pizza is delicious and comes with chili flake already on it, which was great because I always add it. Comes with soppressata salami, isernio’s italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, chili flake and basil. The 9 inch is perfect personal size, easy to finish and it’s thin so not too filling.
Since it was my first visit, I got free gelato! And before I picked a flavor, I got to sample 3 flavors :). The rasberry flavor is so good, that’s the flavor I went with and I normally really hate rasberry flavored things. I do like the actual fruit and the gelato tasted natural like the fruit, refreshing! Chocolate was pretty rich and salted caramel was just ok. Would definitely return.

Fabulous pizza and Italian eats! Crispy, chewy crust and delectable toppings. Noticed a lot of pizzas headed for take-​out though, while numerous tables waited longer than necessary for their food to be ready.

Good pizza, but bad choice on my part to load up on too many carbs lol. I probably should have opted for a pizza/​salad combo. Prices are a bit higher than I expected. Service was okay; initially we were told we would get a complimentary scoop of gelato for being out of town/​first time visitors. At the end of our meal when I inquired about it, they said it was no longer complimentary.

Started with the Bruschetta which was amazing. I loved that there was more than enough tomatoes for each piece of bread. Then got the Lorenza pizza. I highly recommend this pizza. The crust is perfect, the tomato sauce is light but flavorful & the toppings were perfectly paired. I ended the meal with a scoop of chocolate gelato which has to be some of the best gelato I’ve ever had. Not to mention the staff was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!

This is one of our family’s favorite go to pizza places we love coming here. Parking can be a nightmare just pay the 1.00 and hour at lot around the corner it’s worth it.

Delicious pizza, great gelato, and excellent customer service.
We came in as a large group 15 min before close and were promptly served with a smile. You could tell the pizza was made with high quality ingredients, and the crust was one of a kind. Definitely will return, and recommend to friends.

I love love love Tutta Bella. It’s a small little corner lot on Rainier Ave but the service is great and the food delish. There are a few locations around Seattle but I always come back when I’m visiting. The Napoli salad is delicious and the flatbread with rosemary served with marinara — yum! The pizzas are good and crust fantastic. The gelato is also yummy! Our server kept reminding us we can take our time and chat even though the restaurant was closed — love the hospitality.

If you’re in the mood for some yummy Italian style pizza, I recommend stopping by this cute little joint in Columbia City.
Ambiance of the place is trendy, casual with a homelike feel to it. The staff is pretty attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Ordered a couple of pizzas and man, everything tasted SO GOOD. From the thin crust to the yummy toppings, it’s hard to say that there is anything that one can critique about this place.
If you do like watching how people make the pizza, I would recommend that you ask to be seated in the big room where you can see the action. For my friend and I, we were seated in the bar area which was more quieter and relaxing.
Do note, they have weekend happy hour here! :)) It’s a total win win for anyone with a pizza craving on a Saturday afternoon.

First time here and already I am beside myself with the amazing a) customer service, b) food quality, c) atmosphere and d) energy vibe!
Andy, the dining room manager along with two other servers: Alex & Caleigh were über kind to me and made me feel right at home. There were a few other servers both male & female who said hello to me and/​or made a comment about something regarding this FABULOUS pizzeria/​café.
I had a Margherita pizza, and finished off with a dark chocolate gelato. I rated the food on a scale of 1 – 10. The outcome for me was an 11 :-) Unbelievably delicious in every respect.
Having been to Italy and knowing what good simple classics are, well — Tutta Bella hit it on the mark.
I shall most definitely be returning to this place as well as spreading the word of my new food Mecca.
Hugs, Love & Gratitude,

This is my first time come here on a weekday for lunch. What a treat for me! I enjoyed a quiet and attentive lunch. The lunch special is a 9″ pizza. I loved sipping my lavender lemonade while catching up on my business reads.

Needed a late night snack on Sunday and ordered the Michele, the pizza dough in the middle seemed uncooked and very soggy yet on top it was cooked overdone. Maybe it was the box but they could have made it a little thicker to hold all the ingredients in the middle and cook it all the way through. The toppings were good, so I ate most of that. Overall decent pizza spot. Check your pizza before leavin to make sure it looks to your liking. I’ve had fire oven pizzas and this was lacking.

We’ll be back. Sat at the bar and had great service. We ordered the Cesare salad ($ 9), Napoli salad ($ 13) which was delicious, Michele Pizzetta ($ 12.50) and Lorenza PIzzetta ($ 12.00). Full from the salads we brought one of the pizzas home. We also enjoyed the Nutella latte ($ 4.50) after dinner.

Great place for thin-​crusted pizza and happy hour.

Tutta Bella came into Columbia City long before it was cool and they have been an anchor of the community ever since, we are happy to continue to give them our business. This is a great restaurant for intimate get togethers or for large groups. The food, atmosphere and waitstaff have been excellent for years.

It was the first time I had ever eaten the Italian pizza at Tutta Bella Pizzeria.
My family and I had to wait for about 5 – 7 minutes for a seat. We had the Carolina, the Tutta Bella and the Capricciosa. The Carolina and the Tutta Bella were hot, crunchy and scrumptious. However, the Capricciosa was bitter and a little bit rancid or maybe it was because of the artichoke. The Carolina was peppery and very spicy, so it made me sweat. But luckily, the Tutta Bella was delicious and tasty. All the ingredients such as mushrooms, Italian sausages and fresh mozzarella were combined perfectly together and that became the greatest Italian pizza I had ever eaten. There were also various drinks to choose from: sparkling water to different types of cocktails.
The place was pretty and elegant. It had an European atmosphere, and the smell of cheese was everywhere. We also could watch the process of making the pizzas. The chefs were professional and skillful. It was very interesting and the servers were enthusiastic and friendly. It was such a wonderful night and I will definitely come again or I can try the one in downtown.

Good food, good flavors, great ownership that support their workers. Was introduced because they are members of the Main Street Alliance. Good experience every time and would recommend this place!

Two reasons Tutta Bella is awesome: the Napoli salad with champagne vinaigrette and their kick ass staff!
The majority of their food is pretty yummy… typical pizzeria food… but nothing compares to the ever-​so-​delicious Napoli salad. Once you get a bite of that champagne vinaigrette, holy moly… you have been delivered by a salad!
What really makes Tutta Bella awesome is their staff– hands down some of the coolest people around! Funny, courteous, engaging, attentive… if you haven’t met them, you’re missing out!

I have no idea why this is so highly rated.
I ordered a 12″ Michele pizza and a Palermo salad.
Toppings were scarce, but more importantly the ones that were on there just fell off left and right when you try to pick up a piece. Probably because the crust was so thin, only cheese was holding the thing together at the middle. What little dough was there, was raw, and fell apart like wet paper. I think the toppings themselves might have tasted ok, but I can’t really tell with the excessive chili flakes coating the entire pizza? The crust is the only place I can even evaluate the dough… And it tasted like cardboard. I had to jerk the thing around between my hands and teeth just to tear pieces off.
The salad… Was a simple salad. Nothing special, nothing tough to do there.
Pretty sure I won’t be ordering again. I have no idea if it was some horrible fluke, or people around here have absolutely horrible pizza standards.

The pizza came way undercooked. Wet and soggy in the middle of the pizza. Having asked for it to be cooked well done and not soggy I was disappointed to receive it that way.
Service was great and cleanliness also great.
Please fix your process so that your pizza is cooked right

Lovely coffee stop after a Seward park hike. Pleasant staff and high quality coffee and sweets. Can’t keep wife away from Nutella

I have been to this one (Columbia) and the west lake one and this is so much better in terms of flavor and service.
The pizzas are yummy here (not so much at west lake) and their salads are quite good here as well. I like the ambience better, it’s has an Italian charm feel to it.
Service is also exceptional here, very attentive and courteous.
Happy hour menu is also excellent. A little bit for everyone. Good wine, meatballs, clams, and more… see the picture included for the menu.

I ordered tutta Bella pizza as well. It was good!

hey, it’s old school inside and more homey than anything else. pizza is pretty solid and there is a pretty good variety. nothing fancy here and it’s different than all the other tutta’s.
i think this is a solid 3 ½ stars but i think i was grumpy when i went here.

I come to Tutta Bella fairly often but certainly always come for the annual calabrese/​fig pizza special. It might sound ludicrous; figs, goat cheese, rosemary, balsamic glaze, prosciutto… on a pizza! Oh it is and it is the best pizza you will ever eat. Just for their creativity and bravery to take a risk is enough for me to love Tutta Bella. That, and their delicious smoky, crispy and chewy crust, salerno salad, and gelato. We often try their seasonal pizzas because they are just so unique and tasty.
The Columbia City location is maybe their busiest location just because of its size. While the Westlake and Stone Way locations have a lot more seating, this one is scaled back in size and their often can be a wait. They have a very nice bar area, open air kitchen which is fun to watch them make the pizzas, and a great happy hour. A little noisy but that leads to an energetic environment.

Happy hour here is a must. There is a cocktail called «Sofia». It is amaze balls. My signature cocktail over the summer has been an iced tea infused vodka mint mojito and this Italian twist to my seasonal fave was spot on.
My gal own an apartment building up the street so we came here for a light luncheon. She has been several times and highly toted the chicken caesar salad and the yummy garlic bread. It is so scrumptious she doesn’t even dip it in the available marinara sauce.
I went with the lunch/​HH special pizza;CALABRESE. I’m not usually a fig on pizza person but it was so inexpensive I figured why not? OMG I have been living in the dark. It is sweet and has a little kick from the balsamic reduction. Tasty, to say the least.
I love the block that this little nook is on and can’t help but roam around, post eating. I sort of had too seeing as how I ate that whole damn thang…

Good place for some Italian food. I love their happy hour! So good! Pretty good prices. They have this clam dish I LOVE. Their pizzas are thin crusted which I love. The atmosphere is very dimly lit which can be romantic. Great setting over all.
My Personal Restaurant Rating Key
One star: the food was bad and I had a negative experience.
Two star: I had a more negative experience and would not come here again but the food was good so I may.
Three store: Everything is good except one thing. Example-​the food is good, the price is more reasonable but the atmosphere is lacking class. Or the food is good, the atmosphere is good, but they over charged us. These three stars are actually my favorite types of restaurants to go eat at if the reason is due to the atmosphere because they are usually delicious and reasonably priced.
Four stars: Everything is great, food and experience. However the price is definitely on the upper end. I would not recommend this first to Obama unless he didn’t like my five stars. These are restaurants you can take your boss or your mother-​in-​laws to impress them, however they still don’t fit into the five star category. A bit fancier than my three stars, hence I don’t often eat here unless there is an occasion for it or there is a groupon that gives me a bit of a discount!
Five stars: I would recommend this to Obama. The price may be on the upper end but the experience and the taste is so exquisite, it is actually worth every nickel and dime.

I Love this place! They’ve got great food on the regular and then a really good HH menu. The atmosphere is really easy going and family friendly too! Then on top of that, its a great place to come and hide out in the corner to jam out on some work too. It’s in the heart of Columbia City where there is a really cute little community of local shops, bars, restaurants and more! Its only about 3 solid blocks of it so don’t drive too fast through it!

I’ve been here 3 times in the past couple months and I’ve always had a great experience.
Parking — you can find free street parking nearby
Service — the waiters here are attentive and have great personalities!
Pizza — everything I’ve had has been delicious! I especially liked the Bianca pizza which you can get during happy hour! The 9″ pizza during HH was enough for my boyfriend
Salad– my favorite is the Salerno. I’ve gotten that for lunch 5 out of 7 times I’ve been there!
Drinks– the Nutella latte is sooooo good!!!
Dessert — I tried a ton of gelato flavors including pear, vanilla, salted caramel, and Nutella. Nutella was by far the crowd favorite.
Overall for the level of quality, service, setting, ease of parking and getting a table, and price that I’ve experienced over multiple visits, this place gets 5 starts in my book!

Yummy fire oven Neapolitan pizza, with a rustic crust that crackles deliciously as you eat it? Yes, please!
Tutta Bella in Columbia City is one of my go-​to places for convenient happy hour options (which typically starts from 4 pm-​6 pm). Though their regular menu has many options of pizza and pastas, the HH is where you hit the jack pot.
Free street parking is pretty easy to find. The HH is affordable and it’s really the only time I don’t feel guilty about eating pizza.
Here’s what I’ve ordered before (which each item typically costs $ 5-​$ 8):
–Polpette meatballs (yummers!)
–Manila clams (definite must if you like clams — My own small bowl, of course!)
–Bruschetta
–Magherita pizza (DOC) /​with buffalo mozarella
— Panna cotta (texture was pretty smooth, which tempted me to lick the bowl clean)
The HH pizzas are smaller than the regular menu and are really meant for individual eating. The food is simple, light, but tasty. They also don’t drown the pizza with sauce, which is a beautiful thing.
Once you have the Magherita with buffalo mozarella, you’ll wonder why you never incorporated buffalo mozarella in your life more often.
