The Best Pizza in Nashville - Eater Nashville

"Part of the Nashville Farmers' Market food court, Bella Nashville cranks out crispy, quick-fired pies from its petite centerpiece, a wood-fired brick oven. Expect fairly traditional toppings — margherita, prosciutto, arugula — on 10-inch pizzas easy to take down by yourself." - Eater Staff, Delia Jo Ramsey

The Prosciutto di Parma was delicious - perfectly cooked in the wood fired oven (fun to watch them make it!), fresh greens, and prosciutto that was sliced to order, all ready in 10mins. Worth every penny. The service was friendly and welcoming. Loved sitting at the counter watching pizzas get made and listening to the wood crackle. 10/10 recommend!

Located inside the Farmers Market. The pizza 🍕 was cooked on a wood 🪵 stove. The cheese pizza was awesome. The flavor was really good. I would definitely recommend this place to others

We met the owner, Pedro, who is focused on making an authentic Naples style wood fired pizza using quality ingredients imported from Italy. He succeeded. Our son started this pizzeria in 2011, he received a lot of recognition in major national and local media. His pizza was incredible. After he sold it in 2014, the quality varied with the subsequent owners. We were thrilled to see Pedro bring back the high quality pizzas that were envisioned at the beginning. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t had it before and if you had it under one of the previous owners, give it another shot, you’ll be glad you did.

Best Wood-Fired Pizza Ever! This was hands down the best wood-fired pizza I have ever had! The flavors were incredible—perfectly crispy yet soft dough, fresh ingredients, and that amazing smoky taste from the traditional wood oven. Sitting right in front of the pizza oven while enjoying my meal made the experience even more special. The highlight of the evening was the Italian chef—so friendly, always smiling, and personally welcoming every guest. He took the time to chat with customers, making us feel like family. His passion for authentic Italian pizza truly shines through in every bite. If you're looking for an unforgettable pizza experience, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back!

Bella Nashville Pizzeria is a hidden gem for authentic wood-fired pizza, absolutely phenomenal in both flavor and quality. We ordered the Vegetarian and the Capricciosa, and both were excellent, with perfectly crisp crusts and fresh, flavorful toppings. The prices are very reasonable, making it an incredible value for the quality of food. Our pizzas came out quickly, and the service was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. If you're looking for a top-notch pizza spot in Nashville that won’t break the bank, this is the place to go!

Fantastic pizza! Stopped by to try their wood fired pizza and it was great, exceeded expectations! The dough was perfectly cooked and the sauce was simple yet tasty. We tried the arugula pizza and it was worth it 100%!

This pizza place is inside the Nashville farmers market along with many other places to eat. I wanted to try the pizza today and it is a very good pizza. The staff were friendly. I got the Margherita pizza and I would definitely get it again. I will try a different pizza next time as they have quite a few choices to choose from. You order and pay then they cook and call your number. It was ready in less than 10 minutes. They have tables outside or alot of tables in the interior of the market. There is alot of free parking for the market, but it is very busy and you may have to cruise around and wait for someone to leave so you can park. Nashville has grown so dramatically, it is crazy on the weekends. Enjoy!!

Not my best stone fired pizza experience. When I saw it the box I thought I had made it to pizza heaven, but it fell prey to too much cheese, underbaked toppings, and a flavorless standard crust.

I'm on a weekend trip to Nashville and there are so many amazing food choices here. After a visit to the Tennessee State Museum, we decided to check out the farmers market right near it. The smells coming from the wood fired oven at Bella drew us in. I had the Hawaiian and my son had Sausage. They were both 10" individual pies. I was full after half but I couldn't stop - soooo delicious! There were only 3 employees that I could see and they were all friendly. We will definitely be back next trip.

A small little stall inside of Nashville's Farmers market. The workers were pretty standard, wait was not too long, and the sausage pizza I ordered was great!

Not bad pizza. Nice crispy crust. Sauce is a little runny but overall a decent place to get a pizza. I recommend the margarita

Update: they have since come under new ownership since Covid. The new owner is pretty efficient. He has a system in place, the staff member that took my order was very nice and attentive. The owner has a guy making the pizzas as his sole job. The wood fired pizzas are made very quickly.

OMG, this is really great artisan pizza! First of all the crust! The wood fired ones always taste better but then the toppings are delicious and artfully arranged! This is a hidden little gem. If you are a pizza connoisseur you must come here! It was close to closing time. Everyone else was closed but this was so fast! There is another pizza place in town that always gets a top rating but these people deserve one too! The only difference really is they are not to good with advertising! I hope I helped them today because they need to be recognized!

This little Wood Fired Pizza Place is in the Nashville Farmers market... Nestled among the Fruits & Vegetables is a great tasting Pizza Counter with dine in seats and many were taking to go orders. Fresh ingredients and the wood fired oven make this one of the better Pizza Shops in Nashville. The only way it could have been better is I made it myself, I started at 13 in a pizza joint in NY by a great Pizza Maker!

This is a small, counter seats, wood fired brick pizza oven right in the main restaurant building at Nashville's farmers market. We are such fans of this style of pizza ( we get the #10, with prochutto (sp?) slices on top). We go once a week from Goodlettsville, it is that good. The owner (Franco) is from Italy and his partner in the business, Pedro, are very friendly and accommodating. We were huge fans of Joey's House of Pizza , but it closed and we found this gem. The pizza's are cooked right in front of you and there is a crowd whenever school is out or tourist bus's arrive to the market. Totally the best taste in Nashville in my experienced opinion.

Smells were good and it looked good but they ran out of dough right when we we up to order. It was 1:15pm so really early. Being Spring Break week they should have planned better.

This pizza is really good. It's made fresh to order and baked to perfection. I'm not a fan of wood fired pizza normally but I thought I'd give it a try and I was not disappointed. They meticulously cook the pizza and there wasn't a single burnt edge - the gentleman working the counter was so friendly. I ordered the Hawaiian (I know - pineapple on pizza... how dare I) it was sooooo good! The ham is sliced so thinly, the sauce is such a wonderful flavor and the cheese was delicious- the pineapple added to the whole experience making it a delightful experience. I highly recommend this place and a must when going to Nashville's Farmer's Market!!!

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for lunch. Bella Nashville is a restaurant in the Nashville Farmers market and as such, is just a counter that you walk up to and order from. Unlike some of the other counters though, they had a bar to sit at and you could easily see their wood fired pizza oven. For lunch on this day my wife and I decided to split the pepperoni pizza. It was described as a pizza with fresh mozzarella and pepperoni. From ordering until receiving the pizza took around 20 minutes since something happened with the first pizza and they had to remake it. It looked good whenever it came out to us as the crust had some nicely bubbled parts and you could tell there was an ample amount of mozzarella on it. As for the taste, it was pretty good. The mozzarella tasted really good and the pepperoni was nice too. While I didn't get any spices from the sauce, it felt fresh and went well with the pizza. Finally the edges of the crust were good and crispy and I only wish that the bottom was cooked a minute or two longer. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I enjoyed the pizza that my wife and I shared and would like to try more of their stuff.

People let me just say I have been following Bella for a year on Instagram been waiting to try this wood fired pizza. At the time not realizing that this fabulous pizza place is in the farmers market with limited hours of operation. The pizza is amazing I had the meatball parmesan that was one of the best wood fired pizzas ever. So while in Nashville make a stop at the Farmers market and get your self a great wood fired pizza.

So, this joint is in a food court, so you wouldn't expect a diamond in the rough, right? Maybe as good as a mall or airport Sabarro pizza. This place is a few clicks under that. We'd give it a 4 out of 10. Edible, yes. Would it get you a quick pizza fix, yes. The meager bit of cheese on my slices, slid off, trying to get a bite. The flavor, bland and forgettable, maybe a few tablespoons of sauce on my whole pie. There is no love going into the food here. A young Mexican dude was workin the place, obviously couldnt care less about his gig. Just punchin the clock, and putting out crappy pizza. We'll never eat there again, a waste of $12, for sure..threw out half of it.

Oy, that's a good pie. I made my way back and forth through the Farmers' Market. At the end, it was clear that Bella Nashville was the one that needed my business today. Tea in some urns at the counter and a list of pizza specials up on the board. It was the one with the hummus that caught my eye. What I really wanted was to try that interesting one with the turnips and bacon, but I'm on this no beef and pork thing for the month. And man, I hesitated bad. But then, whole wheat pizza with hummus? I'm in! The pizzas are made to order and I know this because we sat at the counter and watched. The dough is tossed right there. The sauce is put on right there. The cheese is hand crumbled and put on the pie right there. It's an assembly line and quite the ballet to observe. As for my pie? It was fresh out of the oven, plated, topped, sliced and handed to me. Absolutely delicious. Five stars. I look forward to a return to Nashville and the Farmers' Market and Bella.

The pizza here was very good! We got the Marinara pizza (tomato, garlic, oregano, truffle oil [no cheese by default]. I split it with another person and we devoured it pretty quickly. Splitting is perfect if you also want to get dessert in the market. The crust was perfectly done - chewy, doughy, crispy, and tasty. The ingredients on top were also fresh and flavorful. So why not 5 stars? $18 for the personal sized pizza (including tip) is a bit ridiculous - good thing we shared. We did do the double cheese option, which was extra ($2 for cheese on the vegan pizza + $2 more for double cheese), but $18 for glorified cheese pizza is pricey, even for this Californian. The double cheese was definitely necessary too; there was just barely enough cheese on it (or perhaps they forget to double the cheese). Also, the cashier told us AFTER we ordered the pizza that it would be a 30 minute wait. That would be a really good thing to tell someone ahead of time, especially since we were here with a big group. I get that it's wood-fired but I've never had a fast casual restaurant take that long.

This pizza is the JAM. Short wait, great prices, delicious pizza. We got just a plain cheese and a Margherita and both were excellent. Perfect charred crust and fresh mozzarella. For a personal pizza, you get a lot of bang for your buck. If you're spending an afternoon at the farmers market like we were, this is where you need to eat. And then take it across the way and grab a beer to go with it at The Picnic Tap. I've eaten at several of these little places in the Market and this is hands-down the best food available. Boyfriend & I both agree that this is one of the best pizzas we've had in Nashville in a very long time. Will definitely go back and perhaps make a special trip for this pizza again.

My boyfriend and I split a pepperoni pizza here today while exploring the farmers market. Our pizza was loaded with pepperoni and fresh, house made, mozzarella and was absolutely delicious. The service was quick (about 12 mins after ordering we got our pizza) and friendly and it was so much fun sitting at their bar watching them expertly craft each pizza and cook them in the wood fire oven. I would highly recommend.

Got the margherita pizza, the crust/sauce/cheese ratio is perfection and the pizza is delicious. The owner is from Italy, does Neapolitan style pizza proud. NOTE: past reviews mention different ownership. Yelp should delete old reviews when new owners are running the place

This is located in the building of the Farmers Market. There are a lot of places to eat. Pizza may not seem as convienant as a sandwich but this place is quick and the pizza is just the right size. They have a wood fired pizza oven in it's small footorint and a bar to sit at to eat. Or you can sit out in the Commons. Multiple different pizzas offerings or make your own. I had a margherita pizza with hot peppers and a friend had a peach and ham pizza. Both were excellent. Crust was baked perfect and crisp. Worth a stop in to the market area to shop and head in for some pizza.

Keep you political opinions to yourself. If you want to be ok with it, that's your choice. But I was happy to see multiple people turn around and walk away from your pizza counter that day. Secondly. Have your people that deal with FOOD take a shower, clean up, and wash their hands!!! Watched your employees for a few minutes, including the guy in the picture handling food and scratching his dirty beard and passing that food off to people. NASTY!!! All employees seemed to be lacking showers and personal cleanliness.

Great pizza with fresh ingredients. Pizzas are medium size which can feed 1-2 people. I got the margherita to share. It had a really fresh taste and the olive oil on it tasted good. The pizzas are woodfire grilled so the crust is crispy and it only takes 7 minutes to be ready. They had a vast arrangement of toppings that even included egg. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back.

Located in the farmer's market this pizza is wood fired. Solid pizza. Sauce has some real zing and the crust had nice fire bubbles. Very light pizza, zero flop structure wise. All pies come made to order and they are a great personal size. My daughter almost ate all of hers and she is very picky so another good indicator it's good pizza. All in all, great spot to grab a solid pizza and do some shopping. Also located right next to Bicentennial park which is nice.

Been here a few times and they're pretty excellent. Lunch is crowded, with a long wait time but even ten minutes pre noon will cut your wait in half. The food, first. I've done the Margarita pizza (oft considered the darling) and while that wood fired oven makes it an excellent pizza, Bella is despicably shiny in their specials. I figured "oh, let's be different." And ordered the whole wheat crust hummus pizza. Instinct says ordering whole wheat crust is like starting off with lowered expectations where your tongue can already feel the dry flour base of it and you are grateful for the nearby water fountain. Taste, however, said something like "SERIOUSLY?!" And was more than happy to accommodate repeat face stuffing to confirm. I'm now a life believer that whole wheat crust can be a delicious, flavorful, super moist(!!??I know!!) experience bearing yet more deliciousness on top if it in the form of some of the best hummus I've had all year (I kind of have a thing for spoonfuls of hummus), well dressed oil and the first time ever when I've thought mint on Mediterranean made sense. My meat loving companion and I traded bites, meatballs and ham and an "mmmm" from me with delightful meaty saucy pleasure, and from him a quick utterance of an expletive an an exclamation that I won. Hummus. Pizza. Yes. Whole wheat crust glory. Food aside. The wait is not bad because I'm a sicker for the open kitchen and watching them work the oven is a bit of fun. The staff are delightful and totally into that Southern Nashville thing we do where we start up an awkward ridicuolous casual conversation that may just being with a story about first summer jobs and end with a declaration of potential Spiderman futures. All around, food I loved and will return to again, a business I'm super happy to support.

We had margarita pizza at the farmers market. I was shocked to see there was a wood oven right there - very cool! They have a few choices for pizza and you can add additional toppings if you want. There's a cute "bar" you can sit at and watch the guys and gals cook. Try the housemade soda - I had lemon basil. Delish!

What's in your pizza crust? Because it's goodness! This is a fun place to grab pizza for lunch! Love the Farmers Market Vibe, and if you can get a seat at the counter after you order, it's a fun place to watch these guys make pizza. The pizzas are outstanding and their salad is great - love the dressing. Don't forget to add an egg or two to your pizza. It's always great to see a staff be passionate about their work - that's these pizza guys!

Phenomenal pizza! Fast, delicious, and authentic. The crust had a perfect char only obtained from a wood burning oven.

I'm giving them 3 because they don't have many toppings you can choose from to put on your pizza and the price is average to high for the size of he pizza and the thickness of it. If you want paper thin pizza you got it there. I like my pizza thin but they take it to a whole new level. I do love that they use a brick oven because that definitely makes the pizza better. The staff was friendly but sarcastic which is ok with me but not sure if that's ok with all people. Taste was ok. It definitely was lacking something (maybe all the toppings they didn't have, who knows) but it wasn't the worse pizza I ever had. It was done quickly too. Wouldn't mind coming back if I forget my lunch and I want pizza again during lunch time.

I went and I personally asked them two days ago if they were open two days later on Father's Day (Sunday). They said yes. The entire family drove there from Franklin to eat for Father's day. They were closed. Inexcusable. FAIL!! So, I write this as I'm enjoying the currently open DeSano's.

Best pizza in Nashville without a doubt. I normally get the meat which is basically a magherita pizza with prosciutto. Pretty darned tasty if you ask me. The staff is wonderful remembers me by name since I'm such a fan and can't help but get my fix at least once a week. Ingredients are sourced locally and while I don't tend to try the special of the day I would advise anyone with an adventurous palate to give it a try. You do have the option to do some local add ons. I've dont me the arugula and Pecorino Romano and I've dont me the egg on occasion and all of those make for a delicious wood fired concoction. Dough and sauce are made fresh in house and you can watch the entire production of your masterpiece while waiting at the counter for Nashville's best pizza. This place is located in the farmers market and is closed on Mondays and is only open till 3pm on the days that it is open but it is so worth the trip.

Love this place! Order at the counter, and 15-20 minutes later they'll have your pizza hot and ready out of the wood-fired oven. (I use those 15 minutes to browse around the market) Every time I come here, I get their 'special pizza', whatever it may be, and have yet to be disappointed! Last time, it was the Kale and Linguica pizza. Great flavor, and very garlicky, which I liked!

The pizza was SOO good. Not sure what to expect as it was my first trip to the farmers market and it didn't seem like a lot of people were there around the 2:45 pm hour. Me and my brother split a pepperoni, and we both thought it was phenomenal, plus it was enough for two at three slices a piece. We are pretty picky pizza people and it was the best I've had in Nashville thus far. (Tasted fresher and more authentic than five points, imo) It was a tad pricey for a rather small pie but well worth it as it's made to order in a wood fired oven. I will be back to try more of Bella and the rest of the farmers market!

It annoys me that I had to give this a 1 star review since our last experience here was awful. So my husband and I have been grabbing lunch here every time we go to the Farmers Market and we look forward to it. One weekend, so we decided to take my in-laws to have lunch at this place and we bragged about how great the pizzas are. We got there a little early about an hour before they opened and decided that we wanted to wait because of how good their pizzas are. So about 10 minutes to when they were supposed to open we were looking at the menu trying to decide what we wanted to order considering they were about to open and my in-laws haven't been there. During this time they were already setting up to open and an employee, without even saying "hello" said (annoyed that we're standing in front of the cash register) , "just to let you know we're not going to be taking any orders until quarter after." Like okay. Great. So you open at 11 am but won't take our orders until quarter after the hour? Hmm. It just sounded really rude. So we left. I get it. You may not be ready to serve people. So maybe get there a little earlier for your set up and the hour you're actually open start taking peoples orders like you're supposed to. Not sure if they changed management, but whoever is running this location needs to learn customer service. That is not how you treat your customers.

Inside the building at the Farmer's Market, it's tucked away in one of the corners. The pizzas are cooked to perfection inside a wood burning oven. They remind me a lot of Desano's, just smaller. The pizzas used to have some really exotic toppings. These days, they seem more "normal." I had the one with hummus before, and it was okay. But the more typical pizzas, like margherita, are more to my liking. The crust is thin, crisp, with a hint of chew in the middle. The outer crust gets a little bit of black char and is worth burning your carb quota on. Just be prepared to wait a few minutes, as they are all baked fresh, so it comes out piping hot. For Nashville, I'd rank it just under Five Points and Desano's. But it's worth getting if you are in the area.

"Sustainable Food = Delicious Food!" (I pulled this off the Bella Nashville menu) This newly opened eatery located in the Nashville Farmer's Market makes an extraordinary pie by combining locally sourced and handmade ingredients with real Italian bravado and methods. Did I mention the wood fired oven is made from imported clay and fires up to 900 degrees which means that regardless of the winding lines, your personal pizza (9") is ready to be devoured within minutes! I literally fell head over heels in love over the thoughtful vegan options that include the Marinara ($7) which includes tomatoes, oregano, and truffle oil. I opted for the Hummus on my first visit. This delightful pizza was the perfect crisp and bursting with flavor that included hummus, zatar, toasted nuts, and mint & chili oil all for a very affordable $8. Throw in some Iced Yerba Mate tea ($2) and I was a very satisfied gal. My lunch dates ordered up the Meat Pizza with Benton's Country Ham ($9) and the Margherita ($8) and were both pleased with their selections too. Add in the husband and wife duo owners who were charming and clearly passionate about their venture and a dynamic staff to support. This business is a fantastic addition to the locavore movement. I'll be a regular most definitely! TIP: They sell fresh loaves of bread for $5!

A casual lunch visit to the Farmer's Market today had me completely surprised to find a new pizza proprietor. Even more shocking was that it happened to be wood fired oven pizza. How did this new super secret stealth pizza spot slip under my radar? That still remains a mystery but as a fanatic of any wood fired / neapolitan style pizza I was compelled to try it out. Less than 10 minutes after my order (which was paid for via square on a iPad) I had a fresh pizza right out of the oven on a plate in front of me. I ordered the meat pizza which for all intents and purposes seems to be a margherita pizza but with one glorious addition: Benton's country ham. Any serious meat enthusiast is probably already sold but in case you don't know by now Benton's is pretty much the grandaddy of all smoked swine. The salty salty salty (salty^3) paper thin ham was a great addition the array of flavors already present in the basil, mozzarella, and tomato. Add in the crust with just the right amount of charred crispy goodness and it was probably the best thing I've ever experienced from a vendor at the Farmer's Market. The only negative I will say is that the center of the crust was a little poofier than I am accustomed to with other neopolitan places here in town like Bella Napoli or Porta Via. Also the sauce was tangier than I usually prefer but I like my sauce a bit on the sweet side so this was actually kind of a welcome change. The personal size wasn't overly enormous and sized more appropriate for consumption by single person as a lunch portion. That was also reflected in the price as it was about $2-$3 less than the cheapest personal pizzas I have seen at the competition. I've never received such quick service and convenience at the other places though so in terms of price to value to convenience this place is pretty much off the charts. I don't see myself going anywhere else in the Farmer's Market any time soon. In fact I think I will probably coming back to the Farmer's Market more often now because of this place.

I love this place. A LOT. Every time my honey bear plays a game in Bicentennial Mall, I head over to Bella Nashville. Side note, he's a vintage base ball player on the Nashville Maroons, and if you haven't already, you need to check out a game. I always get an egg on my pizza. I tried it once, and can't go back. One because now it's a breakfast pizza, and two because it's so delicious to dip your slice into the yolk. The eggs are FRESH! Do it, try it, you won't regret it. Hands down, Bella Nashville is my favorite vendor in the Farmers' Market, and might be my favorite pizza in Nashville. It's definitely in my top two.

I was at the Nashville Farmers Market and decided to get some lunch. Usually there's always a line at Bella. This time there wasn't so I decided to jump at the opportunity. You order at the side of the little stand. I ordered the "meat" pizza for 10 bucks. The meat pizza is a thin crust pizza with thinly shaved country ham, basil, mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. There wasn't much of line but I guess they had a order back up. I was told it would be about 15-20 minutes. It ended up being 15 minutes, not bad for a great pizza. They've got a huge wood-burning brick oven where the pizzas are made. The meat pizza is cooked with just the sauce and cheese, then the thinly shaved country ham and basil is placed on the pizza. The pizza is large, I'm not sure of the inchage, but it's big. However it's very thin, thin crust, light sauce, light cheese. I had no issue finishing the whole pizza by myself. It tastes very fresh, I'd like a little more cheese, but I love cheese. If you're in the market and looking for a great meal, Bella is where it's at.

Pizza for breakfast? Why not? We were looking for biscuits, or eggs, or something like that, but the wood-fired oven drew us in. Zim had the hummus pizza - fresh baked crust, hummus, sprinkling of spices, and a drizzle of olive oil made for a, spicy, lovely, healthy-ish meal. I had the pizza margherita. Have you ever been to Italy? And ordered a pizza Margherita? Well, it was like that. Perfect. We sat at the "bar" which allowed us to watch them make and bake the pizzas. They are created with care and roasted in a real wood oven. Zim said it might be his favorite pizza in Nashville. I might agree.

Shared a Margherita pizza with another person and was the perfect portion! The mozzarella is written to be freshly made in-store but the basil leaves were sparse (maybe 3-4 leaves cut up into halves and a piece placed on each slice). Very thin pizza, but since they are so thin (and well-toasted), it didn't leave me feeling uncomfortable after. To be honest, the first bite was super salty. They seemed to salt the pizza before putting it in the oven, which doesn't suit my personal tastes, but quickly got used to it throughout the meal. They also only have bottled water. We did not acquire any drinks. Three stars, since it was decent pizza (with fresh mozz) using local ingredients besides the lack of basil leaves and quite salty taste! I would ask customers next time if they'd like the salt-like substance added (and how much)! Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick! :-)

I am never disappointed whenever I come here. The pizza is cooked to perfection. Even though it takes a bit longer, I love the wood fired way of making it. There's something different about the way it makes it taste that makes it so good! The very first pizza I had here was the Marina that had truffle oil in it, and oh my god, my mouth was in heaven. The last time we went we just took our pizza to go and went across to the picnic tap to wash it down with a beer.

TL;DR: mediocre oven-fired pizza at best, and probably on par with pizza I've had from a box or the wood fired pizza in my college's dining hall. I feel like I overpaid. I love good pizza, and as a vegetarian, I love places that serve creative vegetarian options. Bella certainly looked like that, so I grabbed my middle school brother after school and came here. Food: every other review raved about the hummus pizza, so I got that. My brother had the 6" cheese pizza, which, as small as it sounds, was actually about the 3/4 the size of mine but only cost $5. The kids' options are limited to cheese and ham, but I would recommend those who find the personal pizzas a bit big to try the kid size. I got there at a relatively busy time and was quoted a 20 minute wait, but our pizzas came out in about 8 minutes. Maybe that explains why both were lukewarm, like they'd been sitting around already cooked and were just brought out. My hummus pizza was very, very mediocre. The nuts and hummus were a nice combination, but there was nothing complex or special about the flavor. It was as if I had gotten hummus from a nice grocery store, spread it on a toasted whole wheat crust and chopped up some almonds on top. As a result, the pizza as a whole was pretty dry; some other reviews have photos of hummus pizza with olive oil on top, so maybe that's what I was missing. Together, my pizza had the combined flavor of, well, hummus and bread with occasional bites of nuts. I took some of my little brother's cheese pizza because it was warmer and more savory than mine, and it was also just ok. As comparison, I bought myself a three cheese thin crust pizza the other night and baked it in the oven for 15 minutes and ate it. When I think back on that pizza vs the one my brother had, I vastly preferred the boxed to the one from Bella. Price: For two, I paid almost $16, but probably would have been better off staying home and baking my own thin crust from a grocery store.

We came to the Farmers Market for Volkfest (huge disappointment) and ended up wanting to eat inside. I have heard and read awesome things about Bella but rarely go to the Market so never tried it. We ordered a TN Ham pizza - it was like a margarita with prosciutto. And it was great! Crunchy and thin, but not over done. Topped with olive oil, sea salt and fresh basil. We would definetly come back. It was fun to sit and watch them make & bake them in the oven.
