Via Bella Pizza & Italian Cuisine

I have ordered here on more than one occasion and havent been disappointed until recently. I was bragging on this pizza place that its the best tastiest pizza around. 2 weeks ago i ordered a pizza it was supposed to have onions spinach bacon and sausage. It barely had any sausage… no exaggeration maybe one little sausage ball per slice. It was full of onions to the extent that I no longer want to look at an onion again. One baby leaf of spinach not even on all the pizza and the bacon possibly hidden amongst the onions. I had asked for a little extra sauce but it was sparsely on it. my $ 26 pizza wasnt worth the cardboard it was on. Im moving on for the search of a good pizza.

Definitely a great place to try the Chicago deep dish style pizza. The owners are Latinos from Guatemala and they treat everyone like family. I stopped by during a business trip from Los Angeles and finding this mom and pop shop owned by Latino’s was definitely a great experience. They deliver to all local hotels surrounding the airport. It a must try if you are in town.

We ordered pizza and a caesar salad with chicken this evening from Via Bella. I was the salad one… and was disappointed to see they had forgotten the chicken. I didn’t call because the whole family was getting ready to eat. Not 10 minutes later the doorbell rang again with our delivery guy bringing a fresh new salad,.with chicken. He must have gotten back to the restaurant and realized what happened and came back to make it right. Great service Via Bella, 5 stars! And, really good pizza too!!!

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good pizza place to order from, I found my place! Amazing pizza!!! I also had their Gyro sandwich which was really yummy! I had people over the two times I ordered from them and they agreed that it was a really good pizza.

Two stars for great service. We were in a hotel and the cell phones kept cutting out, so they called our room back and that was really nice. The pizza arrived quicker than expected, with extra plates, and hot.
That said… I use the word «pizza» generously. We had one with many meats and it was just bland: cardboard crust, tasteless sauce, bland cheese. The other was their special with (I think) sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms. It looked great with multi-​colored peppers, but again, tasteless.
I see here that some of the other food gets praised, and to be fair, one of the people I was with said it was one of the best pizzas she’d had, but I don’t agree.

Their pizza is amazing. I have encouraged many people to order from them and they sll love it.

My daughter said it was the best pizza she has ever had! Doesn’t look special from the outside, etc but worth stopping! Really enjoyed ourselves. The lady that helped us was very nice! Would definitely recommend as Unilocal recommended us!

Decent pizza. New owners do thought we would try again.

I work nearby and was craving spaghetti with meat sauce. Cibo Racconto is actually much closer to my work but they did not have just plain spaghetti with meat sauce — closest thing was fettuccine bolognese which has cream in it. I decided to drive to Via Bella and was not disappointed! The woman who took my order was very friendly and gave me extra silverware. Took about 5 – 7 minutes to get my food after I ordered. I got my spaghetti to go and it was packed very well. I did not notice that there were baggies of Parmesan cheese in my takeout bag until I was getting ready to throw it away. Bummer! I had been wishing there was some parm on my sauce while I was eating it. But not to worry, the portions were so big that I have more than half left for lunch tomorrow and I will put the parm to good use ;). Definitely a place I will keep in mind for future cravings.

I’m surprised I haven’t written review of Via Bella before, since we get takeout pizza here at least once a month, if not a couple times a month.
It’s literally on the opposite side of the block where we live which makes it ultra convenient for us, because it’s nice to be able to walk to places occasionally in the suburbs. That being said, I really like their crust and sauce here. Their tomatoey sauce is slightly sweet and they ladle it on a little thicker here which I like.
Five years ago the crust here used to be a problem. It used to be soggy and disappointing. After acquisition by a new family, their current crust might be my favorite part of their recipe. The new owners now cook the crust a bit darker and crisper than before. That hotter oven makes all the difference.
If you are into wimpy cracker-​thin crusts, then Villa Bella pizza is not for you. Their’s is between the thickness of a Pizza Hut pan and a New York pizza.
In fact if they cut it in to New York style triangles instead of the typical Chicago box slice it could probably pass for a New York style pizza. I might request that next time to see if I can get a foldable slice out of it.
It might be because we are regulars or just something they do for everyone but with each pizza we order they give us fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s a nice touch when the dessert time comes around or as we’re walking the pizza back home.
This review is strictly for the pizza as we’ve never really tried and can’t recall any other dishes or food there. And it’s strictly for take out because the small dining area with 3 – 4 tables is pretty cramped.

I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time. Since the new owners took over this place, the food is FANTASTIC! I love Calamari, the pizza sauce is perfect. When you walk in there they treat you like family. Definitely try out this place if you live in the area, and or are driving by, you will not regret it.

I found this place on the grubhub app, and I was happy I did. I haven’t tried much on the menu, but they do make a fantastic thin crust pizza. I like to order a basic thin crust with only cheese, simple but good!

Do not eat here unless you want a supermarket crust with a little bit of tomato sauce and cheese. It was like eating plain bread. Giordanos didn’t deliver to Ohare hotels so I settled for this crap. Never ever again.

Nice neighborhood restaurant for carry out or a quick lunch. Good pizza and decent Italian — not high class authentic, but solid. Great value lunch menu, and food is made to order. Prices are also reasonable. Small for eat in, though this is an option with about 5 – 6 tables.
My wife and I often get carry out pizza from here since we can walk in from 1 block away. Eddie (owner) is always ready with a smile and advice on fun toppings to try on our pizza. Friendly staff as well!

superb customer service, superb sandwich!

We moved the neighborhood one month ago, and are frequent guests of the restaurant. To date every meal has been excellent, I’m especially a big fan of their Eggplant Parmigiana. My wife also enjoys their spaghetti with meat sauce.
The service has also been top notch as well. They even let us modify or order off menu. In short, they treat us like an extended family, one that they like.

Great hidden Italian Restaurant. This has UNBELIEVABLY great STUFFED Pizza, and I mean better than Lou Malnatis and Pequods pizza. Yummy cookies and great customer service. Oh and try the Chicken Wraps. =D yumm…

We love to order pizza from Via Bella the family owned operation takes extra care of the food they serve. My husband loves the wings, the salads are nice, and even the sandwiches are generous. My kids love there pizza and it is a real treat to order take out in this economy. It is not to expensive and the desserts are excellent too! We have never had a problem with our order and the staff is extra friendly.

Really good food catering is amazing. price extremley modest. friendly staff.

Not bad. Food’s good. Atmosphere is a bit sterile. But they got a real, big, Italian guy that works the counter who is a super personable and nice guy, I gotta add a star for dat guy. Unfortunately, nothing really jumps off the menu, but it’s a wide selection for a pizza place and it’s all pretty good. Pizza from somewhere other than dominoes is something desperately needed in Des Plaines and via bella does a decent job filling that void.
They’ve changed owners three or four times. Hopefully this owner can generate some business for this tasty little place! However, on the upside, there is never a line! Makes it feel like they are there just for you!
