This evening I ate at Bell' Italia Pizza on Chandler Blvd. It's a tiny place with huge flavors.
First, they brought out homemade bread with a dish of olive oil and balsamic with a touch of fresh pepper. I could have easily made a meal just out of the bread. Chewy with great texture we finished off 2 baskets of it.
Companion ordered the small Supreme Pizza. When it came, it was loaded with toppings.
For myself, I wanted to try the clam pizza but I also wanted a main course. The wait person brought me a single slice of the pizza and the rest was put in a box to take home. The crust was a true New York style crust and the pizza was loaded with little chubby clams and garlic.
My main course was Linguine with Clam Sauce, and it was unusual in that instead of the usual chopped canned clams this was made with whole baby clams and lots of garlic.
People kept coming in for take out orders and one was a huge 24" pizza that could have fed a small army.
Dessert was mini cannoli and light as a feather Tiramisu, both of which were wonderful.
If you are in the area give them a try. You won't regret it.
5 stars for excellent food, and nice atmosphere..
