Master Critic Review
La Casa Bella
8.6
A neighborhood institution that balances old-school Italian-American comfort with a pizzeria rhythm, so you can do slices, pies, and sit-down plates in one stop. The best experience comes from leaning into their sauce-and-cheese strengths and treating pasta as the second act, not the whole plan.

Vodka slice, Sicilian square slice, Chicken parm hero
