A really nice Italian place in Old Town. Seating and service: the open court yard is nice and very peaceful! The staff have... always been very friendly. Food: the pizza, penne, soup, and Cesar salad were all great! We went here twice actually in 1 week.The portions are very big! A small pizza feeds 2? easily! The large salad probably feeds 4 as a side! Price: very reasonablefor the quality and size! Read more

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. 1st the minestrone soup is a must have. Fresh vegetables & the broth has nice... roasted garlic flavor, among others. Also had the eggplant parmesan on a bed of spinach. Very tasty. The meatball isn't loadedwith fillers that tend to bloat me. I shouldn't have eaten all the garlic bread, I was just going to take a bite. Even the icetea was fresh & unsweetened. There was even a upset Karen there for a good show. It was handled professionally. There is noreason you shouldn't try it's a stone throw from Old Town central Station in San Diego. Thanks for the hospitality to a oldtraveler, ED Read more

Pizza Bella Italian Bistro means ?Beautiful Pizza Italian Bistro? in Italian. You must be wondering if the pizzas here are, in... fact, beautiful. I?m here to either assure you that they are or to inform you that they are not. Read on you discover thetruth. Service No one here resembles a beautiful pizza, but they?re pleasant people, so that?s the closest thing. Food Mydetective and I got the Sigma Chi pie. In its description, this pie was described as the best pizza in America. That seemsLEAGUES above a ?beautiful pizza,? so it really stood out to me. Who voted on this decision? What are their qualifications? Werethey backed by any major financial institutions? All of these questions factor in. Anyway, we got the 12? pie and it was morethan enough for two people, with leftovers. Sigma Chi is a large fraternity organization that started in Florida. Is thisrelated? I don?t know. But as a New Yorker, I?m sorry to say that this is not the best pizza in America. The best pizza inAmerica cannot and should not contain undercooked vegetables. I don?t support the idea of carrots or celery on pizza in anycircumstance. It was good otherwise, don?t get me wrong. Recommend? Yeah, I?d go back here and try another pie. The Sigma Chiisn?t beautiful enough for me to reorder. Read more

Another great find. Again, not looking for tourist traps or chains, we found this because our daughter wanted pizza. It did not... disappoint. She had her own kids pizza, I had the meat pie, and my wife had baked penne. Seriously, amazing food. All of it. Andso much. Will be having this tonight in our Airbnb. Read more

Pizza Bella has the best pizza I?ve had and their garlic cheese bread is amazing. The caprese wasnice and fresh. My wife ordered the seafood pizza and said it was fantastic as well. I can?t wait until I?m hungry enough tohave leftovers. Read more
