“Hi, Im Barbara,
and i LOVE PIZZA 🍕 It began when I was a small girl in Crotone- a little town on the southern coast of Italy, visiting my Papa at work. He would sit me up on the big counter and give me a hot gooey slice of pizza while he worked.
While making the pizza, he would fly the dough high in the air and spin it around, behind his back, over to a colleague and back, he performed all sorts of acrobatics. I would giggle with delight, watching my amazing Papa effortlessly make the restaurant burst out with cheers and applause for his craft or laughter from his stories and jokes while i greedily devoured my pizza in delight.
Food, particularly Pizza was his love language and his energy was contagious. His Pizzeria was always full, people came not just for great pizza or amusement, but regularly when feeling down and wanted to feel better.
My Papa was my hero and i knew from the time i was a little girl, i wanted to be like him. While my Papa recently died, we carry on his legacy with my 3 children all working together in our family Pizzeria in Milan, Italy.
While i have dreamed of coming to america for many years, this year in 2024 i am honored to be moving to America to be with my lover and study English. This gives me the opportunity to share my family legacy with you. From my heart to yours, one pizza at a time.
The PIZZA
An amazing pizza starts with great crust. A crust that is both crisp on the outside, and also pillowy soft inside, filled with air pockets. Bella Dea Pizza crust is a sourdough that is deliciously aromatic with hints of fruity, cheesy and even nutty aromas. The sourdough is filled with alveoli (thousands of little air bubbles) that gives the crust its signature pillowy soft inside with a satisfying "crunch" on the outside
Every Bella Dea Pizza begins it's 3 day journey with a sourdough starter passed on from generations of artisanal bakers. After 3 days cold fermenting and leavening the dough has developed those signature "Sourdough" flavors and pillowy "alveoli"
Our dough is then hand tossed fresh to order sauced with one of our signature 100% fresh, made from scratch sauces, then piled on gooey Fresh Mozzarella and then topped with a selection of imported Italian cured meats cheeses and \or fresh veggies to serve you both traditional Neapolitan Pizzas or one of our exquisite Global Fusion Pizzas to delight both your eyes and taste buds with our seductively luxurious artisanal pizza.

Our 3 day slow fermented sourdough pizza is not only tastier, it's considerably more digestible than conventional yeasted pizza. as the wild yeast from the sourdough starter grows, it not only fills the dough with alveoli (pillowy air pockets), it is also slowly breaking down the carbohydrates and gluten. It is essentially pre-digesting the dough for you.
Pizza made with this technique leaves you feeling lighter and satisfied instead of bloated and heavy after eating commercially yeasted or conventional pizza.
Find a pizza that arouses your curiosity and tantalizes your taste buds to see why Bella Dea Pizza truly is a gift from heaven!

While gluten free and keto are words unknown in italy, we understand here in the US these are very important matters to certain people.
We have spent countless hours testing and experiemnting solutions and while it is certainly not the same as our sourdough pie, we have a pizza that is delicious, we hope you LOVE IT
