French toast phenomenal! Pastrami hash was different, but not bad. I prefer corned beef hash. Price is right.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meatball sandwich w/cheese. The meatballs were cooked to perfection with delicious marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese made it perfect. To top it off a large pint of beer sitting at the outside table is a great day!

Great experience. Entrance was kinda confusing so make sure you tell then you want to eat in.. Then theyll take you too the back to be seated. Lol. Calzones are full pizza size and the twisted fries were amazing. Their expanding too! Awesome place. Get food and service!

Oh, TraderJoe’s how do I love thee??? Let me count the ways-1. Your clean, bright, and fun stores.2. Your AMAZING customer service!3. Your fabulous array of fine foods4. Your ability to always make me happy… seriously!Just go. See how happy you are by the time you leave with all your treasures.

Generous toppings on the pizza. Well balanced between cheese, sauce, meat and fruit (we got the Hawaiian). The crust could be better, but thats a small concern. The spring salad also was generous with sunflower seeds, cranberries and feta cheese. The mixed greens were fresh. The cheesecake was nice and creamy.The staff was friendly and quick. Even on a busy Saturday night. Nice place!

My father, ate here and introduced us to La Bellas in the early sixties. Many years later...forty five to be exact I came in and ordered a special made pizza. HOW on earth can this family make the exact same pizza I grew up eating as a child? I wasnt prepared for such a perfect Italian culinary delight. Most restaurants change hands and recipes seem to suffer alongside the customers. Not so with La Bellas. They remain Italian perfection at its best. This was the only place my Poppa would buy pizza and its comforting to know its still here and the food is still perfect. You folks are an icon in Chula Vista. A historical gem indeed. Thank you for remaining here. The Vuscovichs!

I want to thank everyone working at LaBella at close on the 4th of July. Everyone was so nice. And the food was AWESOME!!

The mighty hot pastrami sandwich! Nothing from another world and everything about the other world. La Bellas offers a pretty good size menu with pastas and pizza but we come to la Bellas for the hot pastrami sandwich since is super bomb! Get yours with melted provolone cheese.. thank you Jesus for La Bellas

I rarely take the time to leave a comment as I don’t think many owners read or care about customers opinions but I had to say something. The soda was flat, the wings and Alfredo tasted off, and my pizza was a little soggy but tasted good. My kid had more sense then me and refused to eat it. The waiter must have known because when he asked if we wanted to take it home the look and pause from my kid prompted him to say it doesn’t taste good huh. I wish I followed my kids good sense. I wasn’t going to let $50 bucks go down the drain but now I’ve been sick in the bathroom for the last hour. This will be the last time I go to this business.

Very good lasagna thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

There pizza was the best I ever had in California. Ive been living here since 1978. I am originally from NYC and Im Italian. It was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sauce and cheese and the thin crust was nice. The only thing I would change is that the crust could be a little crispier. It was still a nice thin crust.

This place has the best pizza 🍕 I’ve ever had!!I cannot say enough good things about this place. They are a classic Downtown Chula a vista restaurant and are completely amazing. I highly recommend La Bella’s Pizza

The food and decor are so good, and popular, at La Bellas that they do not need my praise. La Bellas is definitely a family and friends place, its decor stemming from its opening, in 1955. As for the food, I had the best pizza I have ever had, tonight -- pineapple and sausage -- so rich and smooth that it seemed like stuffed pizza!

Great pizza and antipasta salad and lasagna! We love our local pizza spot...and Earl is the best delivery driver! Highly recommend. They are centrally located and also have a room upstairs for parties.

Step into the past. This is a classic Italian restaurant. Raised pizza holders, everything drenched in marinara, tall tufted black seats, wood panel wall covering, family meals, wine deals, dim lighting, it’s fantastic. If you love old style Italian food go here. I will definitely go back and bring friends with me. Next time I will update and add photos.

Excellent food, be patient with service, the food is worth it! Garlic cheese bread, pastrami, ravioli, all super good! Marinara was tasty! Enjoyed the outside seating as well!

A bit oily and greasy pizza I had, I dont think it was the same served to the other people there as they looked better! Still not a bad taste.

The food was AMAZING! Everything, meatball sandwich, pizza, lasagna so good! I’ll be dreaming about this place until we get a chance to visit again. Thank you for such excellent service as well!

Perfect for birthday 🎂 parties.Everything was fresh and delicious.

Had not been there for years. Had the veggie lasagna plate and my brother the manicotti. Both were spectacular. Well accompanied with huge portions of great garlicc bread. Glad I returned finally.

Have you ever wanted something so bad!!!! The Hot Pastrami sandwich has been one of my favorite things at La Bella’s for years.Today, we got to sit inside among the atmosphere and charm that we deeply missed over the past year. The take out is really good, but dining in is way better..I had a hot pastrami and fries. Hot, fresh and it tasted much better than I remember. The bread was so fresh and the pile of meat was awesome.We sat in the bar area with two other people and then a group of five came in. Plenty of space for eating and “my pod”. The bar tender was great and the food today was exceptional!! I have been coming here for over 50 years and it is very consistent and sooo good!!!

I placed 2 Orders of wings and quality of the meat was not the best. One order of wings was half the size of the second order of wings.Edit to my review: you have responded to my review saying wings were not available at your restaurant. I purchased this on August 2nd. Pictures speak a thousand words. Check it out yourself!

Amazing experience! Staff was friendly, helpful and checked on us often. The food is so delicious! It’s certainly worth the extra $$. Pictured below is the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Anti-Pasta Salad.

I used to go to La Bellas a lot. The cheese on their pizza is delightful. Juicy and cheesy. The pizza melts in my mouth. I love it. I feel entertained when dining here.

Staff is very friendly. Staff are very attentive, prices are very good. The food is excellent and thesangria was delicious.

Unfortunately La bellas Arcade side and dining was closed done for renovations . We got seated in the bars side family of 16 the bartender Woman who wear glasses and a braid, she gave us the vibe that she didnt want us seated there . We would ask for rounds of mixed beverages soda in pitchers water in pitchers and for the adults alcoholic beverages . Everytime we would ask for more beverages kindly, she would literally snatch our cups or pitchers from our hands rudely like she didnt want to attend to us . It was a terrible experience . You can tell she didnt want us seated in the bar area !

Delicious food and pleasant patio area. Their Hot Pastrami sub was awesome. I also order chicken fettuccine alfredo pasta and lasagna with garlic bread as takeout for my family ...they love it. 🍝🍞🧀🍕

Wait was a bit long and we kept being told 10mins or were next. But its a delicious place to eat and it was also a baseball game night. So that affects the wait more. But once we were in the food came fast and the service was great.

Large portions, reasonably priced

Old school Italian pizza place, dark, embossed wallpaper and button tuck booths. Still serving the same style pizza they did 40 years ago. Not fancy, just homestyle. Yum!

Good for partys,, would be better if hame room was open.

Pizza recipe has changed; dense, less cheese, no fresh yeast smell (sad). Ok craft beer selection but specials run out. Been a customer 30+ years & hopefully its just staff challenges.Photo has tomato paste peaking out.

YES! Home environment good pizza good down to earth service! This place is big too! You get dining area with table service or a small pick up with a counter to grab a quick bite as well as at the other end a bar with TVs....followed by a whole arcade game area! Alchohol available at all of these by the way. The pizza stuffed and cheesy very quick and delicious ! Loved it will be back

Great service from John, and the food was great, the works pizza and the Ceasars chicken salad was the best.

Okay so Im rating my experience for this time only. Weve been here many times and its very Hit or Miss LOL....One time I found a receipt in my sandwich and literally took a bite out of it. Other times they make the wrong sandwiches or they dont make them incorrectly (i.e. no cheese or they add onion, which my husband hates). I always feel like I have to check my order and make sure its correct before I actually drive home.But we really like the turkey torpedoes and the oil and vinegar. The subs are huge and youre getting your moneys worth. The small cheese pizza is great for kids meal as well.I think coming here you shouldnt expect a lot but if you have a good experience then just be grateful.

Great customer service good pizza 🍕I would recommend 👌

Usually this place is solid, but today meh, ordered the turkey sandwich and it had one slice of turkey in it, for $8 dollars should come with a little more meat in my opinion

One of our favorite places to eat. The garlic cheese bread is the best!

Very greasy, low flavor food. All three pizzas we ordered were a disappointment. Even the cheese steak sandwich was a fail, with terribly rubbery cheese and a terribly mushy interior (not a result of au ju, since our sandwich was still quite dry) Our waitor was nowhere to be found as we ran out of our drinks, needed boxes, and desperately wanted the check. If you want some pizza, dont consider La Bella Pizza in Chula Vista

When you order a Caesar salad to go they are selling you a do-it-yourself kit just under their price please never buy it to go I guarantee you you will be disappointed if I would have known I would have done it at home cheaper if the owner is reading consider selling it mixed when they pick it up please

The Hot Pastrami is incredibly delicious as is the Italian Combo Torpedo, the Lasagna and the Chicken Alfredo Pasta. I am a big fan of their Garlic Bread! The Anti Pasto Salad is always fresh and delicious! There is a lot of tasty choices on the menu and I am sure Ill find more! I highly recommend this place

Ok I know we are in the times we are in, it was busy we were seated at a table that was dirty we were ok with that when the guy finally came in to clean the table he wiped everything on us,plus left crumbs on the table. We ordered a large pizza an order of buffalo wings (sauce on side) and cheesy garlic bread. The food was good, my daughter really enjoyed the wings and the bread minus the cheese. It was a bit chilly for us inside. We had to ask for our check and a box to go. Otherwise was ok .

Nice. Comfortable. Easy going atmosphere and staff. Family friendly. Large portions. Good food. Most people will be taking home some leftovers.

Im mixed regarding the food. We had a pie...anti pasta...calamari...my memory of the place years ago was one where they were they were in fierce competition with Felipes pizza...the pizza crust...meh...anti pasta...meh...calamari...on point...would I do it again...I dont think so...I do miss the la bellas of old....big sigh....

Not as good as it used to be. But I guess we all lose some of the best of us over the years.

Great food fast service :)

La Bellas Italian Restaurant and Take Out! Cafe coming soon. Long time Chula Vista favorite. Free club membership with FREE Bday meal, (gave me dessert too). Great staff. Hard working with smiles. Went for 1st date for my Love GF Susan.But b/c COVID times dine only then!Dining in was great 2 smaller rooms, 8-12 tables ea. And a medium sized BACK bar, with coming cafe out back & patio. Large Take Out front area where even on Sunday night busy ALL night!! Close to park and parking garage, side lot too (G & 3rd). Pleasant atmosphere with some action with TV and lil noise in bar. Not too roudy, but definitely ALIVE!!!Prices $$, maybe $ with new pricing after COVID now. TIP Well, smile & enjoy. Dozens of staff working on Sunday night. Always more than a handful! Photos after this weekend.

Today it was the hot pastrami and some crispy wings. So good!

Pizza is always cooked great and fresh. Waitresses are always nice and I had a great experience. Been coming here since the 90s.

The food was great but to top it off with another great part I like is the service which was fantastic yall. Labellas thank you once again and see yall soon

Always great. Good pizza good beer good service

Normally the food is good, and the service is friendly. We got a waiter with a serious attitude though and sadly didn’t even stay for food this time. The manager and the host apologized, so hopefully better luck next time.

Fun place to eat pizza with good people!! 🍕🍻

All the food is good pizza is super the chicken is so good

The salad had the freshest crisp greens and excellent dressing. Pizza was great as usual

Did you know La Bellas serves Breakfast? Come check them out. And they are looking for new serious hires. 👍

Holly, our waitress was excellent. The food always delicious.

One of my go to spots. I prefer going to the Cafe and Games side. Its a lot more lively and has sports on many TVs. Same great food on both sides. Great pizza, calzones, and pasta. I usually get the large Pastrami hot sandwich smothered in melted provolone. It is always tasty. This time I thought they cooked a bit too long. The meat was kind of crispy almost like bacon. Usually its much more juicy. Dont get me wrong I still scarfed it down. My wife likes to get the eggplant parmesan. 😛

We enjoy my sons graduationFood is excellent our one spot for italian 🍕Definitely.

Great service great food you love this place a must go eat place

Everyone was so nice. Very accommodating and attentive. Of course the food was great as well. Pizza, wings and Ceasar salad are our go tos and were delicious as usual.

Pros: Pizza, Garlic BreadCons: Pasta, terrible and non attentive customer service from waiter and the mens bathroom was nasty (see the pictures) .Never going back to sit in there. Just carry out a pizza and leave ASAP is your best bet.

My family has been coming here for 2 generations going on 3, can’t imagine better pizza and definitely worth the price. I miss the old boneless wings but luckily they didn’t cheap out on us and got some equally as good ones ! Employees are always helpful and have a good attitude, have never EVER had a bad experience here.

Great chicken wings and pizza

Food was delicious, service was fantastic, and prices were reasonable. 100% recommend!

The Bellas Pizza has been around for a long time. Its located in Chula Vista. Theyve always had great pizza the prices a little bit high but other than that its a great restaurant.

Food was amazing. Service was great as well.

Good food. Service was excellent. Had a big crowed and waiter was awesome.

It was great. Always good pizza and salad. The place could use some brightening.

Good service. Big tasty portions

Great local comfort food, throughout the decades

I definitely miss the Roast Beef Sandwich being on the menu but that got removed due to COVID and the Beef prices Im sure. The Hot Pastrami is incredibly delicious as is the Italian Combo Torpedo, the Lasagna and the Chicken Alfredo Pasta. I am a big fan of their Garlic Bread!

The cheesiest pizza north of the border. Wings are good service is good.

La Bellas pizza has been around for years. Went back to Chula Vista for a visit and decided to try la Bellas again about 35 years after my first visit. It was really good. The pizza was tasty. Service was good and the outdoor seating was comfortable. Parking was plentiful in the back of the building. The chicken tender appetizers were a favorite at our table. When in Chula Vista on third Ave I highly recommend stopping in.

Great food great customer service

Very retro, sitting here was giving me flash backs from the eighties. Great place for a family meal. It feels a little dirty and looks like the carpets havent been cleaned since the eighties. But the the service was good and the extra cheesy pizza is delicious and they have some great beers on tap.

My son and I had been going to La Bella since he was a baby and he still enjoys the food and the games. Now we play pool.

Love this place. Fun memories 😁

Breakfast was great. With good portions and great prices. But yet what does one expect from a restaurant with great food..

Personnel is great, the food is delicious. Great service and attention. Our favorite place now for family celebrations!

Always love this place. Been going since I was a kid. My favorites are the pepperoni and olive calzones, pizza, and especially the pastrami sandwich.

😃 best pizza! best lasagne! best meatball subs! 👍

I have been eating at this place for 30 years. As good today as the first time I ate here. Love it!

Food was good. Bathroom needs attention

Just great food. The wings r always perfect

Really great. Even serves American breakfast and lunch items, as well as breakfast pizza.

I ordered the meat lovers pizza and no regrets. Beer was amazing. But the best thing was the hot wings!!!

Good pizza, service and fun little game/ arcade. We go on off hours since my children are young. They have a blast. A few of the games are broken but otherwise a good place for food and family fun.

Good pizza and pasta with fun for any age or group of people

Its a local favorite. A long history serving the community. Family business. Appreciate their continue to stay open. My 3 favorites are Meetball Sandwich, Pastrami and of course the cheese pizza pie

So definitely coming back. Its delish to every pizza, linguine & salad bite.

I went for a Sunday breakfast. No waiting, older locals. The prices were great and got a lot of food for the money. The food was great, I order the Denver omelette that comes with potatoes & toast. They were pretty quick too

The tomato basil soup was very good and the vegetable lagzana was very good dave had papas favorite pizza . Garlic bread.

It was a wonderful experience at La Bellas!It was an outside experience but what made it so great was the heating lamps, the waitress we had,And of course the food!

Great food! Good family restaurant.

Another favorite spot over the years. Josh is the real MVP! Thanks again!!

Got so sick not just me but my friend to stay away

Ashley and marissa are the best!!! Awesome service good food :)

Terrible service, we waited an hour and twenty minutes at the table and they never came to attend us, I dont understand how they can allow a customer to leave .. !!
