The BEST Gluten Free pizza I've ever had. I ordered the Italian White Pizza. So delightful and crispy. I will be back!

This review i'm writing is based on a pizza delivery experience. The good thing is that they were very fast at getting the food. The bad is that I got charged a 2$ delivery fee (that they did not tell me would be included), and that the pizza was average at best. The dough was very thin for a pizza (not a crispy kind), so it was very floppy and a little challenging to eat. The crust was soft and nice though. It wasn't the best pizza, nor the worst. But, I was hoping for something more comparable to other take out pizza places in Elkridge/Ellicott City. 2 stars, meaning I'd try to order elsewhere before ordering here again.

First time ordering here and I ordered a BLT and they gave me shredded lettuce, cut up pieces of tomato, and bacon on non-toasted bread. I asked for toasted and they forgot the MAYONNAISE! Also, I wanted a side salad instead of fries and they wanted $2.50 more. Lost me as a customer.

It's pizza alright. It's not very good but its pizza. I have never been to a pizza place has such terrible sauce. I once had a calzone and had to use jarred sauce instead of what they served. So bad

My office has ordered from here a few times. I'm allergic to wheat so most foods outside of asian and mexican are a bit of a struggle for me. Bella Mia recently started offering gluten free pizza. I decided to get the Gluten Free Tiramisu White Pizza and added chicken to it. It was delicious. It was the best gluten free pizza that I've had outside of the things I make with pre-made Schar crust at home. I have never had homemade gluten free crust this good. The pizza came with a garlic butter sauce, which just added to the deliciousness. The pizza was a really good personal size. I had the leftovers for lunch today, actually. Everyone else always loves their food from here as well: Spinach white pizza, turkey club sub, etc. Pick this place over anywhere else, especially if you're gluten free. Flippin Pizza is awful.

Decent little pizza/sub shop in a little strip mall off of Route 103. Workers are not too friendly, but the food is tasty. Quick service and some lunch specials which are pretty good deals.

First I have to say that in my opinion this place has the best cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks in the area. I'm always in search of great cheesesteaks so I've tried many places but I always end up back at Bella Mia. I'd also like to comment about the customer service which seems to be an issue in many of the reviews I've read. My experience has always been good. Good food. Good prices. Good customer service.

Ordered last night. Did an online order. Worst Online Ordering interface I have ever seen. Hard to understand and use and I am a software developer. However, you don't pick your food because of online ordering software. So don't let it deter you! Food was really, really good and the portions were good as well For the price a great value. Ordered Jalapeno Poppers. Huge and plenty for the price. Great flavor. Ordered the Greek pizza. Awesome. Crust underneath was just a bit soggy but that happens when you get a pizza loaded with toppings. And they were very liberal with the amount of toppings they put on! The pizza was covered and stacked with the toppings and the toppings were quality. Great cheese and plenty of it. First time ordering from here but will order again. Oh yeah, the delivery guy was uber professional and polite. Entertained my little guy. A very nice touch. We don't expect servers., managers or drivers to go above and beyond for our toddler but when they do, extra points! Excited to have Bella Mia as a delivery option.

Just ordered pizza from here. Person on the phone was rude and when I ordered they never explained they did not have the items I wanted. When the pizza came it was the wrong type and with wrong toppings. Called back and they refused to correct the issue or credit my card back. No desire to spend my money on the wrong food with them again.

This is my go-to cheese steak place. I've been ordering from here for years, and I've never had anything negative to say. The only reason why it's 4 stars is because when I was working at a hotel, they took almost an hour or longer to deliver because they couldn't find the location. Instead of calling us to ask for specific directions, which would've been a lot quicker and easier, I guess he was trying to find it on his own. But by the time we got our food, our shift was almost over and we were starving. Other than that, my brother and I always order from here when there's nothing we wanna eat at home

When you live in the area you get a lot of indistinguishable take out menus from local pizza and sub shops. Most of them are just average pizza and greasy subs. Bella Mia on the other hand has really really good pizza. I always get the vegetable pizza. It's absolutely loaded with veggies and cheese, and it's delicious! I always pick it up, so I can't comment on the delivery. The dining area is small, but it looks like a nice place to sit and eat a slice when you are on the go.

Jackie S.
This is my favorite local place for pizza and wings. They have tons of coupons and great deals. Their wings are great quality chicken with delicious sauce. Their pizza runs on the greasy side, but has a wonderful, unique flavor (sometimes a little salty). I would recommend this place for take-out or delivery, because the actual restaurant isn't in such great shape. Never had bad customer service. Definitely check this place out!

So I'm staying at the Ramada and there's a wonderful ad for pizza with the TV channel guide. The menu looked interested (Philly Cheesesteak White) and I love pizza as much as the next person. I called and placed an order... an hour ago and my pizza still isn't here. The guy on the phone told me 30 minutes. HMM I'm disappointed :(

Bella Mia is a hit or miss proposition. When it's good it's great; when it's bad, the worst food experience of all time. It's hard to predict what you're going to get. The good news is that more often the food is good; but there will be occasions when the food is just not right. We're fans of the buffalo chicken pizza, love the spicy, but it varies in quality. Would probably order this more often if we felt comfortable with the consistency. Overall, it's worth the chance when you don't feel up to cooking.

We ordered 7 pizzas to be delivered at 4:30 at the nearby Y. The order was placed well in advance. At 4:40 I called and was told they would be delivered in 10 minutes. The pizzas finally arrived at 5:04. I called and asked to speak to the manager but was told none was there so I left my name and number to have a manager call me. So far there has been no call. The pizza was hot and the order was accurate. But 30+ minutes late when 20+ people are waiting is unacceptable. Edit: I spoke to the manager, he apologized and invited my family to come in for a free dinner. I am adjusting my rating to reflect

Wayne A.
One of the better Pizza joints in the area. I'm fond of their Italian white pizza. Their pepperoni is just what you would expect. I would rate this 4.5 stars if I could. Their french fries are about as good as you can get. We have eaten their carry out at least once a month for the past few years and have never had a bad meal from them. I reserve the 5-star rating for pizza that equals the stuff I've eaten in NY. Their pizza is very, very good, but a bit shy of my NY pizza experiences. Go their, you won't be disappointed.

Be careful with your credit card. My husband and I ordered from Bella Mia and the food was good. However seeing the complete credit card number and expiration on the receipt was disturbing. Then when checking my credit card statement online, I saw they charged 20 dollars and another charge of 43 dollars. We only ordered 20 dollars worth of food. 2 sub sandwiches and order of fries. I called them and am waiting for a call back to dispute the charge. But I went and disputed the charge with my bank, since I don't know when or if they will call back. Thankfully I was aware of my account or else someone at the restaurant would had an extra tip.

I love pizza. I grew up in New England, so I was spoiled by good NY style pizzas. I also tried well-reviewed pizza joints such as Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana (New Haven, CT) - pepespizzeria.com . I've lived in the DC area for the last 15 years or so and haven't found a pizza worth mentioning. I'd love to search for a hole in the wall establishment, but as a parent of little children, I often have to resort to what's easy - i.e., pizza chains. I was surprised today to go to a children's birthday party in Columbia, MD. During the party, they brought in some pizzas - simply plain cheese - and I was overwhelmed by how good it tasted. No, it's not gourmet, but it's simply a good pie. Not huge slices that you'd fold in half like you would for true NY style, but there is something about the dough, the crust, the sauce. It just worked. The sauce was neither too sweet or too spicy. It was just right. Now if only I lived within 40 mins of the place, I might come back... I haven't been to the restaurant itself, so I can't vouch for the ambiance. What I can say, though, is that this is the best "regular" cheese pizza I've had in years. Check it out.

About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

The BEST Gluten Free pizza I've ever had. I ordered the Italian White Pizza. So delightful and crispy. I will be back!

This review i'm writing is based on a pizza delivery experience. The good thing is that they were very fast at getting the food. The bad is that I got charged a 2$ delivery fee (that they did not tell me would be included), and that the pizza was average at best. The dough was very thin for a pizza (not a crispy kind), so it was very floppy and a little challenging to eat. The crust was soft and nice though. It wasn't the best pizza, nor the worst. But, I was hoping for something more comparable to other take out pizza places in Elkridge/Ellicott City. 2 stars, meaning I'd try to order elsewhere before ordering here again.

First time ordering here and I ordered a BLT and they gave me shredded lettuce, cut up pieces of tomato, and bacon on non-toasted bread. I asked for toasted and they forgot the MAYONNAISE! Also, I wanted a side salad instead of fries and they wanted $2.50 more. Lost me as a customer.

Very efficient and curteous. Small yet clean eatery. Will update to give a review of the taste and quality of food.
(4)Crabby C.
It's pizza alright. It's not very good but its pizza. I have never been to a pizza place has such terrible sauce. I once had a calzone and had to use jarred sauce instead of what they served. So bad

My office has ordered from here a few times. I'm allergic to wheat so most foods outside of asian and mexican are a bit of a struggle for me. Bella Mia recently started offering gluten free pizza. I decided to get the Gluten Free Tiramisu White Pizza and added chicken to it. It was delicious. It was the best gluten free pizza that I've had outside of the things I make with pre-made Schar crust at home. I have never had homemade gluten free crust this good. The pizza came with a garlic butter sauce, which just added to the deliciousness. The pizza was a really good personal size. I had the leftovers for lunch today, actually. Everyone else always loves their food from here as well: Spinach white pizza, turkey club sub, etc. Pick this place over anywhere else, especially if you're gluten free. Flippin Pizza is awful.

Decent little pizza/sub shop in a little strip mall off of Route 103. Workers are not too friendly, but the food is tasty. Quick service and some lunch specials which are pretty good deals.
(3)Hope A.
First I have to say that in my opinion this place has the best cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks in the area. I'm always in search of great cheesesteaks so I've tried many places but I always end up back at Bella Mia. I'd also like to comment about the customer service which seems to be an issue in many of the reviews I've read. My experience has always been good. Good food. Good prices. Good customer service.

Ordered last night. Did an online order. Worst Online Ordering interface I have ever seen. Hard to understand and use and I am a software developer. However, you don't pick your food because of online ordering software. So don't let it deter you! Food was really, really good and the portions were good as well For the price a great value. Ordered Jalapeno Poppers. Huge and plenty for the price. Great flavor. Ordered the Greek pizza. Awesome. Crust underneath was just a bit soggy but that happens when you get a pizza loaded with toppings. And they were very liberal with the amount of toppings they put on! The pizza was covered and stacked with the toppings and the toppings were quality. Great cheese and plenty of it. First time ordering from here but will order again. Oh yeah, the delivery guy was uber professional and polite. Entertained my little guy. A very nice touch. We don't expect servers., managers or drivers to go above and beyond for our toddler but when they do, extra points! Excited to have Bella Mia as a delivery option.

Just ordered pizza from here. Person on the phone was rude and when I ordered they never explained they did not have the items I wanted. When the pizza came it was the wrong type and with wrong toppings. Called back and they refused to correct the issue or credit my card back. No desire to spend my money on the wrong food with them again.
(1)A. J.
Best kept secret in Ellicott City. Awesome pizza, chicken tenders, cheese steak sandwiches. Yum!
(5)Leah N.
Have ordered from here a couple of times. I like the BLT and the garden salad. It's decent. Ordering some new stuff tonight!
(4)Lola L.
This is my go-to cheese steak place. I've been ordering from here for years, and I've never had anything negative to say. The only reason why it's 4 stars is because when I was working at a hotel, they took almost an hour or longer to deliver because they couldn't find the location. Instead of calling us to ask for specific directions, which would've been a lot quicker and easier, I guess he was trying to find it on his own. But by the time we got our food, our shift was almost over and we were starving. Other than that, my brother and I always order from here when there's nothing we wanna eat at home
(4)Ashlie S.
This place is great! Love the food and the service is friendly and the prices are low.
(4)Stephanie W.
the pizzas are ok and there subs taste the same as any other sub place. what ever you do stay away from their fettuccine alfredo!!!! omg i have never had anything so disgusting in my life! i literately spit it out. so fucking disgusting its trash.
(3)Becca R.
When you live in the area you get a lot of indistinguishable take out menus from local pizza and sub shops. Most of them are just average pizza and greasy subs. Bella Mia on the other hand has really really good pizza. I always get the vegetable pizza. It's absolutely loaded with veggies and cheese, and it's delicious! I always pick it up, so I can't comment on the delivery. The dining area is small, but it looks like a nice place to sit and eat a slice when you are on the go.
(5)Jackie S.
This is my favorite local place for pizza and wings. They have tons of coupons and great deals. Their wings are great quality chicken with delicious sauce. Their pizza runs on the greasy side, but has a wonderful, unique flavor (sometimes a little salty). I would recommend this place for take-out or delivery, because the actual restaurant isn't in such great shape. Never had bad customer service. Definitely check this place out!
(5)Jeannie O.
So I'm staying at the Ramada and there's a wonderful ad for pizza with the TV channel guide. The menu looked interested (Philly Cheesesteak White) and I love pizza as much as the next person. I called and placed an order... an hour ago and my pizza still isn't here. The guy on the phone told me 30 minutes. HMM I'm disappointed :(
(1)Joseph B.
Bella Mia is a hit or miss proposition. When it's good it's great; when it's bad, the worst food experience of all time. It's hard to predict what you're going to get. The good news is that more often the food is good; but there will be occasions when the food is just not right. We're fans of the buffalo chicken pizza, love the spicy, but it varies in quality. Would probably order this more often if we felt comfortable with the consistency. Overall, it's worth the chance when you don't feel up to cooking.

(5)Mark W.
We ordered 7 pizzas to be delivered at 4:30 at the nearby Y. The order was placed well in advance. At 4:40 I called and was told they would be delivered in 10 minutes. The pizzas finally arrived at 5:04. I called and asked to speak to the manager but was told none was there so I left my name and number to have a manager call me. So far there has been no call. The pizza was hot and the order was accurate. But 30+ minutes late when 20+ people are waiting is unacceptable. Edit: I spoke to the manager, he apologized and invited my family to come in for a free dinner. I am adjusting my rating to reflect
(3)Wayne A.
One of the better Pizza joints in the area. I'm fond of their Italian white pizza. Their pepperoni is just what you would expect. I would rate this 4.5 stars if I could. Their french fries are about as good as you can get. We have eaten their carry out at least once a month for the past few years and have never had a bad meal from them. I reserve the 5-star rating for pizza that equals the stuff I've eaten in NY. Their pizza is very, very good, but a bit shy of my NY pizza experiences. Go their, you won't be disappointed.
(4)Janice G.
Bella Mia makes great pizza. I also really appreciate the reliable delivery service. The pizza has great flavor and yummy fresh crust. I also really like their chicken parmesean sandwich. I just wish they delivered to my new home.
(4)HK L.
The service was very unkind and the pizza has no taste at all , I rather go to seven eleven located at next door. I wont ever go back again there.
(1)Rosemary J.
Be careful with your credit card. My husband and I ordered from Bella Mia and the food was good. However seeing the complete credit card number and expiration on the receipt was disturbing. Then when checking my credit card statement online, I saw they charged 20 dollars and another charge of 43 dollars. We only ordered 20 dollars worth of food. 2 sub sandwiches and order of fries. I called them and am waiting for a call back to dispute the charge. But I went and disputed the charge with my bank, since I don't know when or if they will call back. Thankfully I was aware of my account or else someone at the restaurant would had an extra tip.

I love pizza. I grew up in New England, so I was spoiled by good NY style pizzas. I also tried well-reviewed pizza joints such as Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana (New Haven, CT) - pepespizzeria.com . I've lived in the DC area for the last 15 years or so and haven't found a pizza worth mentioning. I'd love to search for a hole in the wall establishment, but as a parent of little children, I often have to resort to what's easy - i.e., pizza chains. I was surprised today to go to a children's birthday party in Columbia, MD. During the party, they brought in some pizzas - simply plain cheese - and I was overwhelmed by how good it tasted. No, it's not gourmet, but it's simply a good pie. Not huge slices that you'd fold in half like you would for true NY style, but there is something about the dough, the crust, the sauce. It just worked. The sauce was neither too sweet or too spicy. It was just right. Now if only I lived within 40 mins of the place, I might come back... I haven't been to the restaurant itself, so I can't vouch for the ambiance. What I can say, though, is that this is the best "regular" cheese pizza I've had in years. Check it out.
