Pizza Bella

Several new restaurants have opened in Kansas City lately.

Pizza Bella: Pizza Bella is a new restaurant from the owners of 1924 Main. Poodleful likes 1924 Main (kind of) and is even less fond of Souperman (which is owned by the same outfit) but she LOVES Pizza Bella. Since it opened, a mere two months ago, Poodleful and her family have visited a number of times and tried, she thinks, every pizza, which is no good for her wasteline. She highly recommends the pizza with all of the different cheeses--not usually her kind of thing, but the ricotta on this pizza pie is so creamy and delicious it could be mistaken for a cheese less humble. And the prosciutto pizza with an arugula blend is also really really good. They also serve a delicious octupus salad and their roasted brussel sprouts are also nice. On the other hand, the chorizo on the chorizo pizza has nothing in common with good Spanish chorizo--it tastes like they cut up a hot dog and used it as a topping.

Additionally, Pizza Bella is a really good place to take your small children, as the service is fast and the waitstaff seems happy to see kids around. Additionally, it is very fairly priced. The restaurant itself is cute too with red plastic chairs and place mats that have the menu on the back.

In short, Poodleful could eat at Pizza Bella twice a week for the rest of her life and you would hear no complaints.

I loved Pizza Bella! I wish we could go there tonight, in fact! Matt and I are making carnitas for dinner with some friends. We actually made them last week and they were so delicious, we are doing a repeat. The homemade tortillas we made to go along with the carniteas, you ask? Failure, complete and total failure. Hopefully, round 2 will be better tonight.
