Inspired by the original Margherita recipe

from Naples, Italy, our hand-pressed pizzas are

crafted from hand-kneaded dough, mozzarella

cheese, basil and olive oil and then baked in a

wood-fired oven of exceptional heat for a very

short time. The result – a delicately light and crisp

base at the edges with a deliciously saucy centre.

While paying faithful homage to the original

Italian classics, we remain certain our Casa Bella

signature pizzas, pastas and grills will continue

to delight for hundreds of years to come.

First we eat,then we do

everything else
