Bella's Pizza — Restaurant in Riverside

What you’re looking at: double pepperoni, thin crust, extra sauce.

Bella’s was one of the first pizzas I’ve had in California that genuinely surprised me with how “back East” it tasted. They have a great sauce, decent crust and nice crispy pepperoni.

The only thing holding them back is consistency. Sometimes the pie is amazing, like this one, and sometimes it’s like “did you even read what the ticket said?” That said, the pricing is amazing too, carry out specials that rival little Caesar’s prices, but quality that, when done right, is top notch!
