The most delicious pizza in Atlanta and possibly anywhere!
My
wife and I grew up eating great pizza in the NYC, Long Island, &
Jersey Shore. We moved to Atlanta years ago and finding Bella Italia is
a gift to us pizza snobs. Thin crispy crust, fresh ingredients, the
perfect amount of sauce and cheese, delicious pizza sauce. In a strip
mall in Marietta, don't let the unassuming location and décor fool you
The Margarita w/fresh basil, fresh mozzarella & fresh tomatoes is
amazing. Worth the drive from wherever you live if you want real NY
style pizza.
Pros: Ridiculously delicious pizza, very family friendly
Cons: You're not paying extra for the decor (which is also a pro)
Big portions and family-friendly environment in Marietta.
In Short
Setting
up shop at the end of a tiny strip mall center off Marietta Highway in
East Cobb, Bella Italia combines ambitious Italian dishes with classic
standards in an environment that reminds its patrons exactly what kind
of joint it is. Teetering on (and sometimes falling over) the line of
Italian parody, the menu has many hits and unfortunately, a few misses.
The portabella stuffed ravioli is filled with earthy goodness, however
it’s buried with a pound more of the ‘shrooms takes it from great, to a
bit too much. Like the rest of the entrees, the brick-resembling
portion of lasagna is substantial, so splitting an appetizer and a main
should do it.

- I recently visited Sorrento Italy and enjoyed the flavors of the
country. Your Summer Pizza is fabulous and comes closest to the flavor
of the pizzas that I had traveling through out Italy. This pizza has
become my favorite surpassing my all time favorite New York style
pizza. The Summer Pizza is probably lighter in calories and the sauce
is not so tomatoee. If you like a quality pizza then this one is for
you. Enjoy the garlic!

- After a disappointing first try, we decided to give it a 2nd chance.
We were greeted by the owner and told her we were giving it another
chance. She and our waitress went out of their way to make sure we
weren't disappointed. We ordered two different pizzas - they were
excellent! Very crisp, thin and flavorful crust with plenty of toppings
and cheese. The Deluxe was my favorite - roasted red peppers with a
delicious variety of meats, mushrooms and slivered onions. Try the
stuffed mushroom balls, they are unique and tasty! I'm thrilled to have
finally found decent pizza in the East Cobb area. Hopefully, this place
can make a good pizza consistenty. Next time we'll try the other dinner
items.

- We went with a group of about 10 people for my husband's 50th
birthday. When we arrived they had blown up balloons and everyone came
by to wish him happy birthday. In addition to the great service, the
food was wonderful. Most of us had the this pizza - awesome. Very fresh
ingredients. My husband had a create your own pasta dish that he loved.
The sausage was made in house and wow, can you tell the difference.
Tasty! The food is all fresh and prepared in house like a very high end
Italian restaurant without the high end price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

- Fantastic pizza! Definitely returning to sit on the spacious patio.
The wine selection is notable, especially for east Cobb dining. My date
and I really enjoyed the cozy, intimate atmosphere.
