“ Surprisingly worth the price. Creative flavors, thin crispy crunchy crust to perfection and loaded with the perfect amount of toppings. Also the calzone is bomb too!!! ”
“ Clean and accommodating small but mighty business. I've tried several of their pizzas, and I can't figure out which one I love. Try their specials, you won't regret it. Fresh ingredients are made to order at all times. A true mom and pop atmosphere here I our not so sleepy Lutz. ”
“ Bella Roma is by far the best pizza in the Tampa Bay Area! Over the past 40 years, my family has tried numerous pizzerias and not one comes close to Bella Roma!! The owners, Betsy & Chef Jose and their daughter Tatiana, are friendly, warm, and kind which makes eating there that much better. So grateful to have found this place. The salads, pastas, hero sandwiches, and garlic rolls are all absolutely delicious. My 87 year old Mom says it reminds her of childhood and eating pizza in Brooklyn. Mangia!! ”
“ Bella Roma has the best food all around. You cant go wrong with anything you order. The pizza is AMAZING. All of the food is fresh and delicious. We order here all the time. It is family owned and operated (Betsy is the best) We ordered catering from them for a birthday party- They went above and beyond for us. Cant say enough good things about this place! ”
“ As a Sicilian New Yorker transplant (2012), I'm very picky about my pizza. I am a pizza snob. Their pizza is like a slice of NY in my FL backyard. We get pizza from here nearly every week. I can't say enough good things about their pizza. It's delicious, the variety of pies is fantastic, and they're inventive with their options. The Kickin' Chicken and Chicken Bacon Ranch pies are DELECTABLE! On top of that, they remember their customers. The customer service is equally fantastic. It's always nice to have somewhere that knows your name. I learned that from Cheers. I can not overstate how happy I am to have them in my neighborhood. It is truly a blessing. ”
“ Great experience at Bella Roma tonight! The white pizza and bbq wings at this spot were phenomenal. Calimari was REALLY good and not rubbery or heavily breaded. Food was so good my wife didn’t give me crap I brought her to a pizza joint for Valentine’s Day lol. On top of everything the staff was extremely nice and the place seemed very clean. I respect and support a business that takes pride in their establishment. ”
“ My family is from NY so our standards for NY style pizza are pretty high and we were not disappointed! You can order pizza by the slice or a custom pie. We ordered a few slices of the sausage and veggie. They were delicious. I ate every bite of the crust, it was so good. The sauces are made in house, the veggies and toppings are cut fresh daily. I was told the chef has 30 years experience, and it shows. I ordered the calamari and wings to start. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and lightly battered. The calamari was fresh, not chewy (I’m somewhat of an octopus/calamari connoisseur) so my standards are high, and again I was impressed with the quality. Definitely order the calamari! The wings were cooked perfectly and the Thai chili sauce was amazing. We had the cheesecake for dessert which was also delicious. The place is very clean having been newly remodeled. You can smell fresh paint and fresh pizza. It’s a family friendly environment with good energy and light music playing. We highly recommend Bella Roma and we will definitely be back! ”
“ I’m from New York City and I lived 1 block from one of the best and most well known pizza places in the city “Sals Pizza” - Bella Roma is the closest thing I’ve come to that thin crust and perfect sauce and cheese ratio since I ate at Sals. The pizza folds and holds how it’s supposed to, no flopping or mushy crust. Drippy oil as it’s supposed to.. crunch and flavor of the crust and dough.. Amaizng! If you live in the area, consider yourself lucky to have this hidden gem in your backyard! ENJOY!! Side note: The place is immaculate. The kitchen is open to see while you are sitting and ordering and it looks brand new even though they have been open for over a year. This is a huge thing. A clean kitchen and good food means the place is run by people who truly care about your health as well as delicious food, and they have nothing to hide. I’m always weary of what goes on behind the door in some places.. ”
