👍👍 La Bella's is a long time local landmark. Family-owned since the 1950s. I have been eating there since 1987. The food quality and wait service are quite good. My last visit was for breakfast. It was great, just like their pizza, baked Riggatoni! People often mention great, good, service, pizza, Great, time, game, family,

    Fun place to have some dinner and watch a game. Beers on tap including some specialty beers. It's a popular local spot. I love the wings here, but sauces are basics. Pizzas also good but a bit doughy for my taste.

    Ordered pickup. Food wasn't started until after we arrived 30 minutes later. Estimate was 20 minutes. We were also charged extra with no available explanation for the added charge. Very inconvenient.

    Fair overall. Not bad and not great food. Fair prices. Service was ok and it was super loud with families having fun but adults having too much to drink. Be careful how you pick what side you want to sit and if you have your kids there playing the games stay with them.

    The pastrami Ruben on Rye was excellent. Very flavorful with a little bit of crunch from the rye. Highly recommend.

    The wings are bomb,pizza was good,employees were very friendly..but service was bad...I went and got most of the things myself from them for our party...and a server tipped over our pizza,touched it... and just put it back up on the pan. Did not replace it... ....no bueno...gross

    A staple here in Chula Vista, La Bella has been around for many years. The food is consistently great, the prices are good, the service has always been excellent, and it's just a fun place to bring the whole family, have a celebration, or to even go on a first date. The 2 things I will say is that finding parking on the weekend is not always easy, and that I wish they stayed open later.

    I was surprised in a good way with the quality of the Pizza. Great place to be with the family and play arcade's with the kids. Padres game is always a plus. Pool tables are in fair condition. Come and enjoy your day

  • 5/5 Katrina G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time here. There is a small arcade in the front, a pool table and game area, and a separate restaurant area. We had pizza and it was very good. The service was the best part. Everyone that we encountered had a great attitude. We will definitely be going again. It is a bit pricy but it is a really fun time.

    This OG place has always been a GREAT EXPERIENCE! We had a going away party for a good friend and our waitress was on point... no issues with anything throughout our event!

  • 5/5 Adrian G. 1 year ago on Google
    It was awesome! Great food, great beer, great service, and a great crowd! I just had my birthday there. It's like chuck E. Cheese for adults! There was plenty things there to entertain you. Adults and children can have a blast.

  • 5/5 Ann K. 5 months ago on Google
    Good food. I really like their salads. We were a big party and service was great.

    Heard good things about this place. Stopped in on Halloween, we ordered the full size Lasagna each. VERY disappointed as it was smothered in melted cheese to hide the lack of lasagna. Half the dish was melted cheese after I dug around for the actual meal. Garlic bread tasted like Buttered Sourdough. Checked off my list and with a not so good memory.

    The prices are very high for the quality of food. They require a $30 deposit should you want to reserve a table. The deposit is none refundable and you get NO credit for it on your check. Should you want to refill a fountain drink you only get 2 then you must pay for it after that.The servers were on point. Look out for the female security guard. Not a good place….

    The Papa's Favorite never disappoints. Great value, so many toppings under the cheese - 1/2 of a medium is right at too much food for me. A large easily feeds 4 or 5 people.

    Family oriented relaxed environment. Arcade for the kids and pool tables. Watching the big game with friends. Great setting for Family parties.

    Our daughter came to visit us and she said she had to visit La Bella's Cafe before leaving. She's been stationed at USMC Camp Lajeune in North Carolina. So I got 20 family members together to surprise her and she/we had a great time.

    The pizza was good!! I can't deny that. The service is horrible. It has been at least for me the last few times I went there. The last time I was there, the wait staff never came to ask us if we were ok . I got up to ask for the bill. After the server brought the bill it took him 10 minutes to come and collect it. It took another 10 minutes to bring me back the change. I was there just a few days ago with two of my friends. We were very disappointed. This place was the place to go to!!! The food was great, the service was great...what happened?

  • 1/5 Adrian H. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to this place for many years and it's one of my favorite spots. Yesterday a waiter came up and told me that they are doing the last beer call since they are closing in 1 hour. I buy a pitcher and as soon as I get it and serve myself a cup, a waitress and Security guard take my food and the beer because they were now closed. I know I wasn't paying attention to the time but the fact that I was lied to about the amount left to get one more sale its pretty messed up. I also understand that I couldn't take the beer with me but why did they snatch my food I was going to take home and throw it away?

    Great family fun place food super good and game decent price

  • 5/5 Angel M. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was not the greatest. For a Wednesday night, and having maintenance going on in the main restaurant, the Cafe was hit pretty hard with to go orders and regular dine in, but there was not enough people inside to have the busboy having to get drink refills for people. Anyways, it's always a great atmosphere and great food.

  • 5/5 Da H. 2 years ago on Google
    3 generations now coming here and loving LA Bella Pizza. My dad as a kid. Then me and now my wife and kids love it. Great as a stop in, dinner out, big family outing or full on upstairs organized group dinner.

  • 5/5 Lydia M. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite pizza...the works! Great salads and large portions. Fettuccine Alfredo is great.

  • 5/5 Ashley P. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious pizza 🍕 We got the family meal which was $50 (not including tax) but it was more than enough food for 4 people we have so much left overs! The service by the arcade was awful, but the service for the food was immaculate the people were so welcoming.

  • 5/5 Neil S. 6 years ago on Google
    I get pizza delivered to my house and occasionally it in. La Bella pizza is my favorite. And their sandwiches and burgers are very delicious. You can't beat this place!!

  • 5/5 Warren H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andre T. 2 years ago on Google
    LA Bella's is pricey but "The Works" pizza is like no other.

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pizza! We had pepperoni and bbq chicken and everything was tasty and fresh. Order was done when they said for pickup. An overall good experience. Thanks!
