Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria

I don't understand why I have a daily craving for Tutta Bella??? I don't like cheese! But something about their pizzas make me like the fresh mozzarella cheese. Tutta Bella is the only pizza I'll eat. Many choices and love the good looking staff! oh and the Gelato! yummmm!

Nothing bad to say about this place. NOTHING AT ALL! I especially enjoy being in Columbia City and find that this place makes me feel like i'm in another city.

My boyfriend and I were very excited to try this much hyped pizzeria as we are pizza connoisseur's. We waited for about 35 minuted before landing a table in this incredible busy restaurant. We ordered a ceasar salad, 2 pizzas and a beer. The ceasar was ok, nothing special or memorable that is for sure. Some romaine, mainly stem, ok dressing, a few bits of parm, and some box croutons. The margarite pizza didn't have any cheese on half of the pizza. Seriously. There were several slices that had maybe a penny in size worth of pizza. The other pizza we ordered had goat cheese, eggplant, mushrooms, etc and read good on the menu but was not impressive in the least. Not much in vegetarian choices at this pizza place. The sauce is pretty tangy but the crust was terrible, floppy and undercooked. The bottom was white and soft. Not good. I'm not sure if it was an off night, or what? For an "authentic" neapolitan pizza joint, why do they only have hispanics cooking there? Anyway, save your money and go somewhere else, because this place isnt worth a dime.

Pros: Decent water when you get any

Cons: uh, the pizza!

My experience is with the Rainier location. The service was not good. Our waitress, in particular, was rude and unhelpful. We were in a semi-large party, and all of us agreed that she not only was condescending to us (and a few time downright RUDE)...but we all felt very unwelcome. The food was ok, the price was good, but the service was horrible. I gave this place 2 stars only because the decor was different /cute (especially for the area, it seems a little shady/ scary at night with the transients hovering about my car). I even wrote a letter the morning after (which I have never been compelled to do in my life) because it was such a horrible experience. Now, almost 2 months later...I have yet to even get a response or apology or any acknowlegement at all of my bad experience. I guess I should have known...they did leave me standing at the door unacknowleded that night too. I have since made a point of telling all of my friends to NOT go back to this place again. There are plenty of italian restaurants that not only serve great food, but make you feel welcome and happy you came.

Pros: Decor, unusual, pricing

Cons: Service stinks, they don't care if you come back, location/parking, unusual pizza not for everyone

First off, I should note that I have only yet visited Tutta Bella's Wallingford location. This place is simply fantastic. I was born in Italy -- Sicily actually, and so I think I qualify for knowing a thing or two about authentic Italian pizza. Tutta Bella is the real thing, from the stone oven to the Tiramisu. Probably not all Americans will dig this type of pizza. Chicagoans will certainly be missing that extra inch of grease but if you're interested in how its done in Naples, you won't find a better place to learn in the country. The salads are also outstanding here. I have found that a great Tutta Bella night out for a couple consists of a pizza, a large salad, a bottle of wine, and an order of Tiramisu, splitting everything. Said dinner will cost around $45 -- great value! From the great service to the espresso shots, Tutta Bella would make Italy proud.

Pros: authentic Italian pizza, great service, great value

Cons: none

The service is great. The neopolitan pizza is made authentic and tastes so wonderful. I definitely recommend the Columbia City location for the warm atmosphere. The atmosphere at the Wallingford location is a little too loud and chaotic for my taste, but the food and service is just as good as the Columbia City location. They top off each meal with a tasty espresso shot; which goes great with their amazing cannoli. It's a great place to take out-of-towners as it is sure to impress without emptying your pocketbook.

I have been here several times in the past. This is a perfect place to go for lunch, dinner or anytime; that is also easy on the wallet. I especially enjoy the salads served a top of their great pizza bread. The tiramisu is simply heaven with a serving size large enough to share, and their rotating flavors of gelatto is another added treat! We enjoyed two pizzas, a salad and dessert for under $50! That is a steal!

Pros: Great Food, Wallet Friendly

Tuttabella's Neopolitan-style pizza tastes just as good as the real thing in Italy. It's a great place to bring guests and make sure to try the tiramisu for dessert!

Pros: Excellent pizza

Cons: Parking

It used to be good, but then they open a second location and the service and consistency just deteriorated.I was just told they sold it to RUI and will now become a chain. I read the next one will be in woodenville. It is unfortunate, like everything else in Seattle it is growing too fast.

I love Tutta Bella's pizza. It's thin crust just like I enjoyed in Italy and they use the freshest and best ingredients. I highly recommend the Columia City location but haven't had the best luck in Wallingford. It's very family friendly and I always have a great time here. Good for groups.
