Yes, close to NY pizza - but it isn't anything like what I grew up on and ate for decades. Sorry folks - don't think this cuts it quite right. Yes, you can fold it and it is thin and not a dry cracker, but that's where it ends. Got the deluxe - maybe a pepperoni would be a better choice.
We got a deal from Fox 59 - so we have another certificate to use. Maybe next time I can say something better. after I try the pepperoni........not in a rush to go back.
Small alley like room - at least there were two TV sets to watch the Olympics on while we waited.
As a native New Yorker I will attest to the authenticity of this "NY style" pizza joint. Â Thin, foldable, right amount of cheese, sauce and oilyness. Toppings are fine if you are into that but beyond pepperoni or sausage which are both solid offerings here I have no opinion. Anything more and its no longer a pizza, its a salad. Â They sell by the slice and if you ask for a large "pie" they don't give you a funny look. Pictures of the NY skyline, soda fountain, its the real deal inside. Â I lived in Chicago for many years and never found a NY Style pizza as good as this one and I tried every one that had "NY STYLE" in the window. Â Clay Terrace loc now delivers for no cost, (min $15) which is fantastic. Â They used to use a delivery service which would tack on their delivery fee, which is hard to justify when just buying a pizza. Â I would have considered it though because this pizza is that good, but I'm much happier now to have free delivery. Â The only suggestion I could possibly make is to change the name...Joey's or Tony's would be more NY than "Bella"
Review Source:Bella's (specifically the Clay Terrace location) comes as close to NYC style pizza as I have been able to get in Indy. The crust is thin and foldable, the sauce is zippy (not sweet) and flavorful, and the cheese is just right. I always go for plain cheese...toppings mess it up for me.
It's a touch pricy, but it's worth it.
I love this tiny little pizzeria, which is really too pleasantly humble for snooty Clay Terrace. I appreciate any pizza joint that offers individual slices, and this one does. The offerings are pretty standard: cheese, pepperoni, sausage, everything, stuffed, calzones, breadsticks, etc. You won't find any "designer pizzas" here, but they do serve up a very satisfying slice of "mall pizza." You know what I'm talking about. Big, greasy, kinda thin. Yums! Another good thing about Bella is that you can wash your pizza down with beer. Ahhhh, strip mall perfection.
