A Legacy of Flavor Since 1955

La Bella Pizza began on October 19th, 1955, when Tony and Kitty Raso brought their passion for Italian cuisine from New York to California. What started as a small patio garden—inspiring our name "the beautiful"—has grown into one of the most cherished restaurants in Chula Vista. From Tony Jr. and Joseph running through the dining room as children to Tony "Papa" Raso still personally spicing every meatball today, our history is baked into every crust. We even helped pioneer pizza in Chula Vista, CA by introducing delivery way back in 1957!


Whether you are joining us for the best pizza in Chula Vista, hosting a celebration in our banquet rooms, or visiting our sports bar for happy hour, you are part of a tradition that spans generations. We remain committed to providing hearty Italian meals in a family atmosphere at down-to-earth prices. We invite you to learn more about the family behind the flavor and how we've grown to become a cornerstone of the South Bay community.
