La Bella Pizza

Not fancy but flavorful!
I've been visiting here for years getting the super large pizza slices and garlic knots but today i tried one of the lunch specials (11-3pm) Chicken cheesesteak with side salad ($5.50 + 2 salad)

Not only was the roll soft, cheesesteak seasoned just right, but the salad was nicely put together with tomatoes, cukes, olives, onions, grated carrots.

With everyone making excuses to raise prices the last 3 years, La Bella actually provided an affordable, delicious option. thank you!

Although ownership has changed, the eat-in pizza is STILL the best in the area not even close. Freddie is still the cook and the pizza tastes as good as when Dominic owned the place. You all say what you want, but eat-in jumbo slice is the best you’ll get short of Brooklyn NY. All the other places around here are frauds especially franchise pie. Service is alway good for me. I do not get takeout so can not comment on that. I can tell you from experience- if you really want pizza to taste good - pick it up yourself. Take out pie is most alway never good no matter from where unless you like the taste of cardboard like franchise pie. Keep up the good work. Maybe look closer at your deliver product to expedite and improve quality; that’s a hard one to be good at. Otherwise - all good. Oh yea the chicken parm sandwich that Freddie makes is very good.

La Bella Pizza is a small Italian restaurant on the corner of a strip mall in Medford, NJ. There is indoor seating and a cozy, outdoor patio area with very comfortable seating. The staff is high energy and very friendly. The slices are enormous and there are several options to choose from. I decided to go with the classic Margherita slice. Another interesting thing about this pizzeria is their unique bottled soda. They offer Grape, Birch Beer and Root Beer (and possibly more, but I have forgotten any others). I went with the Birch Beer which was very pleasant. The Birch Beer wasn't overly fizzy and not as spicy as I'm used to. It was a mild flavor but paired nicely with the pizza slice. The slice had a thin crust on the bottom and the sauce was layered on top of the cheese. The sauce was much spicier than other pizza's I've enjoyed, but this is likely, in part, due to the excessive sprinkling of oregano leaves. They got stuck in my teeth a little bit, but didn't take much away from the overall experience, as they added a nice spicy flavor profile to the pizza. The crust at the end was crispy on the outside but also fluffy on the inside. The owner surprised me by throwing in a few garlic knots which were also quite good. They weren't hot, but they did have a nice balance of garlic to butter. It was very kind of him to give me the hook-up and it made my experience much happier and made me feel special. Overall the pizza was pretty good and I would gladly stop by again if I were ever in the area.
