What People Are Saying About Bella Faccia Pizzeria

In Short – The hand-painted Bella Faccia sign tips off the eclectic clientele that this place is dedicated to art. The vivid red walls, indie music and peaceful patio make this one of the hottest places on Alberta Street. There's only one size of pie: huge. All pizzas are 18 inches, enough to stuff four adults. If customers aren't that hungry, they can try one of the daily slices. There's also salads, cookies and beer.

Best Pizza in Portland!
by epicuriousgeorge
Best Pizza in Portland! For sure! I used to live ten mins away from Bella and would go at least once a week to get a slice. Now I live 45 mins away and still make the trip out there, it's worth it for that amazing crust! And for those who complain about poor service... what do you want 'em to wash your feet while they make your pizza for you? Tell you what a wonderful person you are? How proud they are of you for finding your way into their establishment? Get a clue. You want to be pampered, go to a massage parlor or call your mom. You want Hella Awesome pizza, go to Bella Faccia. The closest thing to real italian pizza I've had anywhere in this city. They know how to make some damn good 'Za! Grazie, Bella Faccia! Molto Bene!
- Pros: pizza, terminal gravity, vegan pizza
- Cons: 45 mins away from where i live (by bike)

okay pizza, terrible service
by whostolemymower
Pizza's alright. Service sux. If you don't want to work at a pizza joint, then don't! Please don't make us poor schlubs who just want a slice deal with your hipster-waiter angst. Those big '80s glasses look stupid on you, too.
- Pros: on Alberta
- Cons: everyone who works there

And I don't even like NY pizza
by JudoLin
I'm a west coastie who didn't grow up on NY style, and I have to say in general I prefer a sturdier, heartier pizza. But Bella Faccia has me won over. Even if it wasn't in my neighborhood I'd go out of the way for it. There's a Hot Lips closer that will deliver (Bella Faccia doesn't), but even that won't make me change allegiances. The sauce is flavorful--it actually tastes like tomato and not generic "sauce". We always get takeout because the place itself is very small. The staff there won't coddle you, but I don't consider that bad service. To me, poor service means you don't get what you asked for or it takes an unreasonably long time to get it. Their job is to get you your food, that's it, and here they do it well. Maybe they won't read the signs for you if you won't read 'em for yourself, and yes, they enforce a strict no-cell-phone policy at the counter and WILL walk away if you ignore it. I say, good for them! Great pizza, fast service, and I don't want anything else from a neighborhood pizza place.
- Pros: Great food, competent service
- Cons: Tiny
