I've lived in the neighborhood for a little under two years and finally enjoyed food from Bella Ria's. Located just north of Observatory Hill on Perrysville Avenue, Bella Ria's is a family owned business serving some really great Italian eats. My boyfriend and I were in the mood for a pizza, so I placed a to-go order by phone. I was told the wait would be approximately 30 minutes. I arrived a little earlier to find the pizza already finished and waiting for me to pick up. The interior and exterior of Bella Ria's isn't exactly welcoming, so if you're looking for a fresh looking space, this isn't it. However, they make up for their lack of decor in the food. We both really, really enjoyed the pizza. All of the ingredients, including the crust were cooked to perfection.
We'll definitely order again from Bella Ria's in the future and (perhaps) dine at the restaurants instead of taking out.
