Bella Italia Pizzeria Wake Forest

Bella Italia Pizzeria makes New York-style pizza on Capcom Avenue in Wake Forest. The menu goes past pizza into cheesesteaks, subs and pasta, and it works as easily for takeout as for a table. Large pies come with a choice of toppings, and white pizzas and calzones are on the list.

It is a plain neighborhood pizzeria, and reviewers treat it that way: a 4.3-star average across more than 500 Google reviews, with most of the praise going to the pies. Most of the business comes from families and from takeout customers.
