Ciao Bella Pizzeria

09/17/2026

We’re honestly a little blown away.

Ciao Bella has been nominated for Best of Lake & Mendocino in SIX categories:

- Pizza
- All-Around Restaurant
- Customer Service
- Italian Restaurant
- Lunch Spot
- Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt

October 13 will mark one year since we opened our doors, and looking back at this first year, we’re incredibly grateful.

We took a chance on something we believed in, and this community welcomed us, supported us, told their friends about us, came back again and again, and gave us the opportunity to keep doing what we love. To be recognized in six different categories before we’ve even reached our first anniversary is something we truly don’t take for granted.

To everyone who nominated us, thank you. And to every person who has ordered a pizza, stopped in for a slice or soft serve, shared one of our posts, recommended us to a friend, left us a kind review, or simply cheered us on along the way, thank you for being part of our first year.

If you feel we’ve earned your vote, we would be incredibly honored to have it.

You can vote once per day through September 30!

No matter what happens, being nominated alongside so many wonderful local businesses already means so much to us.

From our family to yours, thank you for believing in Ciao Bella. 🤍

Vote for Ciao Bella Pizzeria every day through Wednesday, September 30th at 05:00 pm

Okay… this one made us blush a little. 🇮🇹🍕

Albert, thank you for such an incredible review. Coming from someone whose reviews span restaurants across Europe — from Italy to Germany, Austria, Croatia and beyond — we’re taking this compliment VERY seriously. 🤌

“At the same level of any pizza found in Napoli, Roma or Milano! Or maybe better.”

From Europe… all the way to little Middletown, California. 🥹

We put so much care into our dough, our ingredients, and every pizza that leaves our oven. Having someone with this kind of food and travel experience recognize what we’re doing means more than we can say.

And maybe this is your reminder that you don’t have to drive to Napa, San Francisco — or apparently all the way to Italy — to get a really great pizza. 😉🍕

Thank you, Albert! We’re honored.

Creamy house-made vodka sauce, bubbling Grande mozzarella, tender rotisserie chicken and sweet Italian confit tomatoes, finished after the bake with a kiss of Asiago and fresh basil.

The Vodka Bella 🤌🏼

And because we’re completely obsessed with this sauce, we’re also offering it as a side dip!
Available in House Vodka or Hot Calabrian Vodka 🌶️

The Vodka Bella + vodka dipping sauce are available NOW through Sunday, or until we sell out!

Saira, thank you so much for this incredibly sweet review. Reading this truly made our day, and we’re so grateful you took the time to share your experience with us. 🖤

If it’s been a minute since you’ve had Ciao Bella, consider this your sign.

Our dough goes through a 3-day process, every pizza is hand-stretched to order, and a whole lot of care goes into every pie that leaves our kitchen.

And if you haven’t tried the Chicken Toscana yet… Saira might be onto something. 🤌🏼

Thank you for supporting our little locally owned pizzeria. Every order, recommendation, share and review means more than you know. 🫶🏼

Come grab a pizza this week, we’d love to see you! 🍕

Our Aloha Carnivore is definitely not your average pineapple pizza. 🍍🍕

Hot Calabrian base, Grande mozzarella, Ezzo pepperoni, Calabrese salami, prosciutto, bacon, pineapple, red onion & a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Sweet, spicy, salty and loaded with all the good stuff.
And apparently… worth the trip from Washington. 🥹

Thank you so much for the amazing review!
