👍👍 The most important thing about pizza is the crust. The crud here is so good. I loved the pizza at Breadico so I went in with almost unreasonably high expectations and was surprised that they were surpassed. We had the Vito Bruno which was just dynamite. It is the best pizza in town and it's not even... People often mention pizza, crust, good, Sioux, Falls, great, Italian, love, town, delicious,

    The most important thing about pizza is the crust. The crud here is so good. I loved the pizza at Breadico so I went in with almost unreasonably high expectations and was surprised that they were surpassed. We had the Vito Bruno which was just dynamite. It is the best pizza in town and it's not even close. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, the food delicious. If there is one thing that could be picked on its that the lighting is weird. It's oddly bright inside. Like it's so bright it started to bother my eyes quite a bit. I'll be back, maybe with my sunglasses on next time.

    Meet all my expectations! I went based on all the amazing reviews and knew I had to try this pizza place. I had stumbled across this location due to the different crust option “the crust-is Bredico Sourdough” and it was amazing! I had 3 slices and wasn’t left with the heavy bloated stomach aftermath. I can’t say enough of how clean the restaurant is and how friendly the whole staff is. Even the owner and owners son stopped by our table to insure we felt at home. 100% recommended it!

    There are 40-something places in Sioux Falls to get a pizza, but this is the only one that has a sourdough crust! Let me tell you this is the whos who in town when it comes to Italian done right. Chef Napolitano has found a place in my heart with his humble, personable nature which carries over into the beauty of his restaurant's atmosphere and into the delicious food he prepares. The juke box added that final touch earning the coveted 5th start I rarely can say a place disserves. This place is proof you do not need to be Italian to be a part of the family.

    Calzones are fresh sourdough everyday, the spaghetti specials, I love the Hey Goombah! Pizza with Gorgonzola. My parents and family love it, highly recommend. Don’t forget the ice cream!

    Great pizza, awesome decor and 50's style juke box that may be free to play. They have a good selection of beer as well. Update 9-22 Still making excellent pizza. I have zero problem with this place at all.

    If you like a high quality truly Italian style pizza, you won't be disappointed here! We had their Margarita. Crust is fantastic and the sauce is incredible. Definitely going back!

    We've been here in Sioux Falls for almost two years. Still trying out new places. So, believe it or not, we went there because nobody in town has, or in some cases knows what is, spumoni. I've read many reviews, and the story of the past and new ownership. I figured it's just another pizza place, I'll get there one day. I was wrong. The place is awesome. The owner and staff were the best. We will definitely be going back for dinner. And the spumoni was the best I've ever had.

    I grew up around New Haven, Connecticut, including the Italian neighborhood on Wooster street, the heart of the pizza universe. Bella Cucina is the closest we have to New Haven pizza in Sioux Falls. Walk through the door, it smells like pizza home. The sausage and mushroom is fantastic, and even the pepperoni is delicious, and I'm not a pepperoni fan usually. And unlike another place that claims New York pizza, you won't wait hours for a pizza and it won't be overpriced. The spumoni is the best I've ever had. I have mixed feelings about posting this review though because at this rate it's going to get so popular we won't be able to get a table. We love this place. By far it now holds the title of the best pizza in Sioux Falls.

    Margarita topped with arugula— 100% YES. Finally a place in Sioux Falls with authentic Italian pizza (as far as I know). Not “bar food” or “Americanized.” While I love me a Casey’s pizza, this is next level. It’s so good. GO!

    Ordered takeout from this place. It was ready in 15 min. Great customer service. Nice to see young, responsible employees doing such a great job running the place. The place was clean. Free juke box. I love the simple, modern and cozy design at this restaurant. They also sell pizza by the slice from 11am to 6pm (limited selection). Pizzas were delicious and full of flavor. Try the one with garlic, artichoke, spinach and ricotta. Ingredients were very fresh tasting. Highly recommend this place.

    By far the best pizza in Sioux Falls! The crust is amazing! Even looking at the pizzas you can tell they're made with much higher quality ingredients than just about anything else you'll get around here. The pepperoni is zippy and the ham was real slices of good meaty ham, not the watery deli meat cubes you get everyplace else. The Fourcheesio might be the best white pie I've ever had. Everything we've had so far as been wonderful. In my opinion its a very good value, considering the quality of the product.

    12/10 pizza, stuff was good. Crust was nice and crunchy. Staff were friendly and upbeat. Also you can watch them toss the dough, wich is neat. Would reccomend to anyone who enjoys tasty food

    Ordered two pizzas for pick up, on one the crust was very dense and way too thick And on the other the was crust was not cooked all the way but still somehow smelled burnt and the cheese was slimy.

    Thanks to Donald & his staff for a great family dinner. Pizzas with sourdough crust were amazing, Calzone was great (and huge!) and the pasta dishes were so flavorful! They made us feel so welcome. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Chris U. 6 months ago on Google
    The pasta is good but the pizza is great. It's a family experience and well worth stopping in or substuting it for the normal pizza carryout. Don't skip desert!!

  • 5/5 Mike S. 9 months ago on Google
    The pizza and calzone we ordered were delicious! We greeted by the owner shortly after ordering, wonderful guy! He also came back after dinner and ask if my son wanted to “test” his new ice cream flavor. Such a great dinner!

    We have been trying every pizza place in town and as of right now (8-2023) this is hands down our favorite. Delicious sourdough crust and sauce, it reminded me of NY pizza and Penny says it tasted like pizza she had in Napoli. The owner is very involved with customer relations as with any nice Italian restaurant. Very friendly atmosphere. And did I mention, the pizza was really good. We will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Diane H. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner came by our table. He treated us to biscotti for my friend’s birthday! That was so nice. We loved our Pesto Pizza! This place is a treasure. Wood fired fabulous!

    Amazing Experience!!! Excellent authentic tasting Pizza and breadsticks. What an awesome inside aesthetic as well. Very homey- and a Jukebox. What more could you want in a Pizza place. Plenty of table space for big families too-❤️💪🏽

    This is my favorite pizza place in town. They have a great unique selection of pizzas along with the normal. If you like to try unique foods I would recommend this place to you first.

  • 5/5 Linda W. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in Sioux Falls. Most people aren't familiar with the Italian potato pizza. Don't hesitate to try it. For music lovers, there is a free juke box! I will definitely return. You should definitely give it a try.

    ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS! I came here at 8:00pm on a Saturday and he had run out of pizza dough. 🍕 But he had two kinds of pasta and side salads, and he had Coke. I gave him a (kidding) hard time, telling him, "You franchisees are all the same!" He humbly replied, "I'm just local," said Donald-Call me Don! Don personally came out and served me my food. I showed him this Yelp review, and I think he appreciated it. So YES, PLEASE DO come in and meet Don. He's a great businessman and a good man. 👍

    I really enjoy the freshness and ratio of the toppings to the crust. The sourdough crust also has just the right amount of chewiness and a nice charred finish

  • 5/5 Kareem H. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal pizza, friendly employees, great atmosphere and very fair prices all combine to make the best pizza spot in Sioux Falls, hands down. I previously lived in New York City my whole life and have really been missing my pizza. Glad I found this place, authentic and really all-around excellent. We are lucky to have this place in town.

  • 5/5 Lisa Heggen C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is exactly like the pizza I had when I stayed in Tuscany. When I was over there, I realized food tastes better when the people feeding you love what they do. That’s exactly why THIS pizza is so amazing!! It’s made with love!!

  • 5/5 Scottland Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best pizza I have had since living on the East Coast. Great food and a nice place. I ordered take out, but I'd take my eighty one year old mom here to eat as they have cushioned booths. I highly recommend this place. The Goombah was delicious!
