点评:Living in the Tarpon Springs area, it’s not often a new Pizzeria starts up in the area. While we have a couple of good options, I think many people were excited to see a Bella Pizzeria and Grill open up in the building of Keystone Rd and George St. We decided to do take-out this time. We ordered a variety of food: Meatballs and Bruschetta for an app, Mediterranean Pizza (16”) and Piccolo Italian Pizza (16”), Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken, and Lobster Ravioli.
The key with all restaurants is Ambience, Service, and Food.
We arrived at the pizzeria to pick up our food, and the curb appeal and décor in the restaurant were spot on. I was surprised to see how much they invested in making the place look amazing. It is very welcoming. They have a front patio and an indoor seating area that feels like you are sitting down with your family for Sunday dinner.
Service: while we didn’t eat there, the pickup experience was scattered and chaotic. They didn’t seem like they knew what was going on. Are food pick was at 4:53 on a Sunday. There were only two couples in the restaurant. When we told the hostess we were picking up an order, she handed us two pizzas and said, “Enjoy the pizzas.” We were a bit confused because we ordered a bunch of other food. She had no clue. Luckily, I brought our receipt that showed all the food we ordered. It seems there are two areas: the pizza area and the regular food area. She didn’t realize we had additional items. She got the rest of the food, and we left to go home around the corner, 2 minutes away.
I get it was take-out. We literally picked up our food as it was being packaged. We live 2 minutes away. When we got the food home, we first noticed the food was warm but not hot, so I cranked on the oven to heat some of the pizza up.
Pizza – Excellent. Love the crust. The sauce on the Piccolo was fantastic. The most important thing was spot on – the pizza was very competitive with the pizzas in the area. I’m pretty sure we will get our pizzas from there moving forward.
Meatballs – Excellent. You can tell they are homemade. Great flavor with a great sauce. Needed to heat them a little, but overall definitely must have again.
Bruschetta – Also was very good. The Bread was perfectly toasted. The topping was generous with a nice balsamic drizzle.
Lobster Ravioli – It was OK but not great. Definitely not homemade. The ravioli themselves weren’t really stuffed with Lobster. They seemed prepacked and processed. It was a little light on the internal ingredients. The sauce was pretty good, but the main ravioli were not living up to the hype.
Fettuccini with Chicken. I don’t think you can screw up Fettuccini. You can tell the pasta is not made in-house, but that’s to be expected. The sauce was good as well. My only complaint is that it seemed like the chicken was pre-packaged and processed.
Now most of these Pizzerias can’t make all their food in-house. I understand some stuff has to be pre-packaged. However, you do need to make sure the product represents you well.
The only suggestion I could make is to fix the website. There were mistakes on the website, and there are NO descriptors of the menu items. So you know they have a Patriot Favorite Pizza, but who knows what’s on it? They need to put descriptors on the website so you know what you are getting. In addition, having a picture of the actual menu on the website could help.
Overall – it’s a great Pizzeria with additional food options. Definitely, a place to go and have a nice family night eating pizza. I need to try a few more of the entrees, but I wasn’t overly impressed with the two we picked. Definitely not the Finest Quality Italian Cuisine. I would absolutely recommend people try this place, and they seem to be on point with their pizza.
翻译:住在塔彭斯普林斯地区,该地区通常不会开设新的比萨店。虽然我们有几个不错的选择,但我认为很多人很高兴看到 Bella Pizzeria and Grill 在 Keystone Rd 和 George St 的大楼里开张。这次我们决定外卖。我们点了各种各样的食物:应用程序的肉丸和意式烤面包、地中海披萨(16 英寸)和意大利短笛披萨(16 英寸)、意大利细面条配鸡肉和龙虾馄饨。
所有餐厅的关键是氛围、服务和食物。
我们到达比萨店取餐,餐厅的外观和装饰都恰到好处。我很惊讶地看到他们为使这个地方看起来很棒而投入了多少。非常热情。他们有一个前院和一个室内休息区,感觉就像你和家人一起坐下来吃周日晚餐。
服务:虽然我们没有在那里用餐,但接送体验分散且混乱。他们似乎不知道发生了什么。星期天是在 4:53 挑选食物吗?餐厅里只有两对夫妇。当我们告诉女主人我们正在接单时,她递给我们两个比萨饼并说:“享受比萨饼吧。”我们有点困惑,因为我们点了一堆其他食物。她一点头绪也没有。幸运的是,我带来了收据,上面显示了我们订购的所有食物。似乎有两个区域:披萨区和普通食品区。她没有意识到我们还有其他物品。她得到了剩下的食物,我们在 2 分钟路程的拐角处离开回家。
我知道这是外卖。我们从字面上拿起我们的食物,因为它正在被包装。我们住在 2 分钟的路程。当我们把食物带回家时,我们首先注意到食物是热的但不热,所以我打开烤箱加热一些比萨饼。
披萨——很棒。喜欢地壳。 Piccolo 上的酱汁棒极了。最重要的是现场 - 比萨饼与该地区的比萨饼非常有竞争力。我很确定我们会从那里得到比萨饼。
肉丸——棒极了。你可以看出它们是自制的。美味的酱汁。需要稍微加热一下,但总的来说肯定必须再次加热。
Bruschetta——也非常好。面包烤得很完美。配料很丰盛,淋上了香脂细雨。
龙虾馄饨——还可以,但不是很好。绝对不是自制的。馄饨本身并没有真正塞满龙虾。他们似乎是预先包装和加工过的。对内部成分有点了解。酱汁很好,但主要的馄饨没有辜负炒作。
意大利细面条配鸡肉。我不认为你能搞砸 Fettuccini。你可以看出意大利面不是自制的,但这是意料之中的。酱汁也很好。我唯一的抱怨是鸡肉似乎是预先包装和加工过的。
现在,这些比萨店中的大多数都无法在内部制作所有食物。我知道有些东西必须预先打包。但是,您确实需要确保产品能够很好地代表您。
我能提出的唯一建议是修复网站。网站上有错误,菜单项没有描述符。所以你知道他们有爱国者最喜欢的披萨,但谁知道上面有什么?他们需要在网站上放置描述符,以便您知道自己得到了什么。此外,在网站上提供实际菜单的图片可能会有所帮助。
总的来说——这是一家很棒的比萨店,有更多的食物选择。绝对是一个去吃披萨度过美好家庭之夜的地方。我需要尝试更多的主菜,但我对我们选择的两个主菜并没有太大的印象。绝对不是最优质的意大利美食。我绝对会推荐人们尝试这个地方,而且他们的披萨似乎恰到好处。
