Our story

From the pizza case

My favorite pizza in the area. Always tasty and reasonably priced. The service is also great and they seem to take good care of their employees. I love the square specialty slices, especially the bacon & fig jam and pesto pepperoni with burrata. Unique, creative combos you don't see other places! Their pasta is also great, and I'm hearing they have one of the best burgers around too? What can't they do!

Where should we begin…WOW. A lot of people talk about the great Tony wars of knickerbocker. We’re here to say: Tony’s dead; we killed him. From the knots(5), to the exceptional service, to the crispy cheese pizza, to the ice cold fountain beverage (Pepsi), Il Bel Paese left us smiling from cheek to cheek. If you’re out for a stroll through Maria Hernandez, please consider stopping in! If not for the pizza, just to say hello. Will be BACK ;)

Really awesome staff, very friendly. My order was prepared fairly quickly and there are so many options for pizza. I picked the pepperoni and the lasagna slice, both were very flavorful and fresh. The lasagna slice even had some pieces of Parmesan cheese which was nice. Great quality pizza, nice portion slice per slice and the slices are thin and crispy the way I like them (but not burnt). I usually don’t like pizza crust, but the crust on these slices were so thin and crispy that I didn’t…

Someone bring me to this place and let me tell you that everything i try was amazing delicious. Pizza was crispy and ratio perfection. The buffalo roll was amazing as well. Customer service top notch. Very friendly and professional. The place is very clean. Overall I'm so happy to find this amazing place. 🙏

I love this place! It’s my go-to pizza spot in the neighborhood. I love their slice options, like their truffe mushroom or pepperoni burrata. Their grandma pie is my favorite. They always use good quality, fresh ingredients. Their staff is friendly and efficient, great customer service. I’ve also tried the gluten free pizza which is also delicious. 🫶
