I have food allergies. I’m allergic to Soy, Almonds, Seafood & Walnuts. This is the only place where I can eat the pizza without reaction. They have a gluten-free pizza made of potato & rice flour & their tomato sauce is homemade. I recommend this restaurant for people with allergies like me if you want to eat good pizza

Got a gluten free pizza for take out. We have ordered from them in the past and their quality seemed to be slipping. This was not worth eating. The crust was cardboard and the few toppings on the pizza were tasteless. My daughter enjoyed the grease on top! Definitely my last visit.

I’ve been eating at Bella Vista for decades. Was the best pizza in Ottawa. Tonight was horrible. Don’t know if there is a new ingredient supplier. Crust was like cardboard. Cheese was hard and had absolutely no stretch. Was almost like a frozen pizza. Won’t go back. So sad. More

I really enjoyed the pizza I ordered. It took a little longer than I had anticipated for the food to arrive after being ordered, but it looked like they may have been short staffed. Idk. The only reason for timing was because of lunch time and had to be back to work. More

It has been years since I have ordered a pizza from BV (we moved out of town). It used to be sooo good. Similar to Colonnade on Metcalfe. Tonight it was like any average pizza. Nothing special. No real distinct flavor. I won't bother to order from here again. More

Omg this place is amazing! The service was the best I've seen in a while, very accommodating for allergies, just overall I had a great experience and will be recommending this place to everyone I know , so sad I didn't discover is sooner!! More

If you enjoy a pizza that has lots of cheese and good helping of toppings then Bella Vista restaurant is the place to go. They have been around Ottawa south Alta Vista for decades and have won the best pizza in town award several times. The

I placed an order and was told over the phone it was $31.00 plus tax. I get there for pick up and then told it's $35.00 plus tax, and guy straight-up lies about what he said on the phone. To make it worse they switched from real chicken to

I've been to this restaurant a couple times and always order the tasty pizza. This time my daughter ordered the sirloin tip steak. They accidentally gave her the Rib Eye Steak. The meals come with your choice of potato and vegetables. She

Took the family here a few days ago. I've been going since the year they opened and it has always been good, UNTIL NOW. First, we went Wednesday evening cause their website says 1/2 price pizza (really means buy 1 get next one 1/2 price).

After frequenting this casual eatery for decades I doubt if we will return again. Of the last 4 visits this one topped it. The very small piece of fish was like rock, over cooked and pizza was a half inch from being burnt. Decor has been

As a celiac, this place had been my go-to for pizza for more than 10 years. It was the closest to what I remember real pizza tasting like, and in a world of so many awful gluten free pizzas, that says a lot. After the pandemic, I noticed

We visited the said restaurant before few days in the evening. Ordered pizza. Quality was very poor. Fresh pizza are generally hot but this pizza was not even warm. The server was also not interested in service. When drawn the attention

I walked into this totally empty restaurant at lunch time on a Saturday, and asked if I could eat outside. The guy at the counter shrugged and said he’d send someone out. A few minutes later, a lady came out to tell me I can’t sit there

This is a friendly family run restaurant, specializing in Italian food. The service is very friendly with the perfect amount of attention from the server. The food is EXCELLENT. Large portions with sides of garlic bread. One of the few

Super disappointed with the plate of nochos I ordered while watching the Sens on Saturday March 4th. The plate was cold, the cheese uncooked, the salsa had Parmesan cheese in it and was distributed in 4 big blobs. The menu only had one

I have been going here for 40 years, maybe longer, always for a large combination pizza. The wait staff are the same people but older and grumpier. It is part of the charm! Thanks for everything over the years. I love your pizza. More

cockroaches in the booth seat I was sitting in and on the walls next to the kitchen. we saw several crawl out from behind a picture , we tipped the waitress . and explained to her why we were not paying for the half eatin pizza ,she

We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo tonight. Disappointed is not the word. The sauce was the equivalent of a can of thick cream of chicken soup over noodles. No richness to it, no garlic, just cheap tasting and bland. Certainly not an

Love their food, it's old school always the same ,never changes , same consistency, my go-to for comfort food!! Staff is always pleasant, courteous, and friendly ;) I definitely recommend this restaurant, hands down to anyone!!

I wish I would have came and sat down in the restaurant. I ordered skip the dishes but the food was still very presentable in take out containers. It was hot still. For the amount of time it took our driver to get it to us I'm was

Excellent pizza, lots of toppings and the sauce is to die for! Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean with lots of space for large groups. Looking forward to trying more on their menu in the near future. More

Visited Bella Vista for first time in a few months, everything looks fresher and brighter - all very nice. Pizza was delicious, as usual. They now have Redneck on tap. Recommend you go again to see all the changes. More

Had lasagna and salad - soo good! There is a reason why they have not changed this recipe!!Service was quick for us, had friendly server too. Was quiet in late day when went. Clean establishment. Will return again

Awful. I can remember eating their as a kid and it was the best pizza in the city . The pizza I ordered today was disgusting. Terrible. Worst crust . Gross sauce . Don't know what happened but avoid eating there lol

For so many years we have frequented this restaurant, mostly take out . We are reminded once again why! "Bella Vista Special" Pizza get a large, everyone will want it and make wonderful noise when you get home.

I eat all over Ontario and honestly this place has some of the best wings I’ve had. It just turned out I was in town on Monday wing night. I will definitely return to try some other things here if I can!!!

Have gone here for 50 years... today the pizza was terrible... tough dried crust. hard cheese. very few toppings hoping it is just a bad chef tonight but worried it is due to changes at the restaurant More

I really enjoyed Fish & Chips, which was very tasty n fresh. My only minor suggestion would be less batter & a bit crisper (for my preference). My husband had Combination Pizza and really liked it. More

This is what you would call your typical family restaurant where many locals have been going for many years. I've not gone in the very late evenings, but I've had their breakfast and dinners!

Had dinner with a friend. Chicken souvlaki platter. It was amazing! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ New management brought back original recipes! The place is clean, good ambiance and very friendly!

Bella Vista was a favourite place for pizza. Sadly, our 2 large pizzas were overcooked, very salty, and did not seem to have enough tomato sauce. Service was grumpy and not welcoming. More

We have been going to Bella Vista since 1980 with my family . Our family are all married and taking their family to the restaurant. George and his staff are amazing .

This was the best pizza. But during and after the pandemic it is awful. Crust tastes frozen and way overpriced. I like to support local but this was a waste of my

Great family run restaurant. Just celebrated their 50th year anniversary! Quite the accomplishment. It’s a hidden gem of a restaurant, definitely worth visiting.

A neighbourhood gem been here for decades. Don’t know what makes their pizza special but I think it’s their sauce and most likely the seasoned oven. More

The food tastes pretty good even if it the presentation could be improved. The restaurant was clean and pretty generic inside. Service is poor. More

Some of the greatest gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! The poutine has a homey charm to the taste, highly recommend this Ottawa, hidden gem. More

Hungry for a poutine? My recommendation? Avoid Bella Vista. I haven't gone to Bella Vista since my high school days, which was over 10 years

Had the whole place reserved for our post-show celebration. Service was very good- the beer was cold and the pizza was delicious! More

Been here multiple times and never disappoints. Food is great, large dining area and great customer service :) love this place! More

Had the privilege to be the customers during someone’s training shift! Gracious waitstaff, good food, nice and clean restaurant.

Bella Vista’s pizza just got better…again. This family run restaurant has a new generation stepping up to the table.

Been coming here for years, the food and service is great! Definitely reccomend their pizza and poutine …

I loved it, they were so nice, the atmosphere was such a vibe, and the food was just great! I recommend More

I really enjoyed the host and Hostess highly personable. The pizza was excellent. A pleasant surprise. More

Happy to find that they make their own gluten-free pizza dough. No frozen pizza crust here. Delicious. More

Great spot for brunch, prices are amazing, food is delicious, staff super friendly. Highly recommend! More

Take out or eat in, the food is simply fantastic! Cant beat the homemade tomato sauce!

Fish was delicious, lightly battered, fries were crisp and light.
Service…
