An Italian eatery with everything you would expect from non halal eateries. Great selection of food.
A halal sign is clearly visible on the premises. All food at this restaurant is certified halal.
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
Huge slices! The pizza is very good here.. I tried a caesar salad slice and a philly cheesesteak slice.. both were great!
Good fresh Pizza!
NOTE: Adeel, the other brother who reviewed this restaurant, mistook it for the pizzeria with a similar name (La Bella Pizza) on 20th Ave. That pizzeria (the one on 20th) is almost assuredly NOT halal. Allahu Alam. The reason I say this is because I know the former owner (the one who now owns La Bella Express) and I also personally saw the current owners of the 20th Ave store take down the Halal sign. Moreover, the quality of the food has taken a dive ever since the new owners took over (according to my non-Muslim buddies). Now, as for La Bella Express: great food, great service, great variety. No complaints about anything I've ever picked up myself, although I have gotten soggy pizza slices delivered on more than one occasion. Overall though, I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in the neighborhood.
I didn't see a halal sign in the window but Hasan, the Albanian brother who owns the place, assured us that everything is halal. However I wonder if he means halal as in not pork, because he showed me a bag of beef pepperoni he uses but I'm pretty sure I didn't see any halal signage on it. Allah'u Alim. The food quality was excellent. Place is very small, mainly a take out/pizzeria. There is a row for stool seating and one table divided with a glass partition that seats 3 on each side.
