Bella Vista Brazilian Gourmet Pizza

Last Saturday I went their and the pizzas were not crispy … I spent 2 hours to have a dinner … Luv the place but the food was terrible and cold .
.

I absolutely love this place. Such great pizzas. Really great flavors and each one so different then your typical cheese pizza. Make sure to do the all you can eat so u can try lots of different flavors. And for lunch it’s only $ 9.99 per person. But make sure to save room for dessert. Their dessert pizzas are to die for!!!

Bella Vista offers bang for your buck. For only $ 17, not only is the pizza AYCE, but you receive a wide variety of pizzas to eat from. Some great, some not great, but still unique toppings nonetheless (ex: Beef Stroganoff Pizza). The most memorable dish for me was the Guava Pizza for dessert.
Tip: good for large parties. Lots of outdoor seating available and this place allows BYOB.

The food is good. The waiters are really friendly. I always feel good to come here.
I recommend it.

Beautiful quaint spot. If you like pizza but want something different come get all you can eat here. The service is amazing. Great house homemade hot sauce. Pretty area outside with a cool Brazilian market attached. So many flavors a but I’m full already. Bring a big group of friends.

Parking: They have free small parking lot behind the building.
Note: There is a door from the parking lot that goes right into the courtyard. Don’t be like me and walk around the building.
I had no idea that Brazilian liked pizza. I know they love churrascaria.
caesar Salad is included with the ayce pizza.
For all of the pizza (including the dessert pizzas), they all have a super thin crust (almost cracker like).
Pizzas that I tried
margherita — mozzarella, parmesan cheese, basil, and tomato
your basic standard margherita. Rating: 3.5÷5. This is my favorite pizza.
Strogonoff pizza — beef stroganoff and potato sticks. Rating: ³⁄₅ I liked the potato sticks.
4 cheese pizza — mozzarella, catupiry, provolone, and parmesan. Rating: 3.2÷5 This was my second favorite pizza.
Of course, I had to try all of their dessert pizzas or pizza doces.
brigadeiro com morgango pizza — chocolate and condensed milk with strawberries. Rating 3.5÷5
Banana com canela pizza — mozzarella, banana, and cinnamon. I was looking forward to this one based on the pic. Rating: 3.2÷5
romeo e julieta pizza — mozzarella and guava. Rating 3.6÷5 It was not over the top sweet. But, it was pretty sweet for my taste.
Overall, an option if you want a different type of pizza or ayce pizza.

Bella Vista is tucked in an area of Culver City where there are many Brazilian shops and restaurants. The dining area is very unique being situated in an indoor courtyard surrounded by a small Brazilian market, barber shop, and dentist. Seating is also available inside.
To get the most for your buck, consider the all you can eat pizza and salad option. Sometimes you can find a discount via Groupon or LivingSocial, read the fine print due to restrictions of using the coupons on weekdays vs weekends.
The concept is simple, there is a list of pizzas and the kitchen staff will make multiple options on 1 pizza, then go around offering a slice. This way you can taste many flavors. My favorites include the beef stroganoff, pesto, and the guava dessert pizza (not too sweet). There are 3 color placards to indicate where you are in your meal. Green is keep the pizzas coming, yellow is slow down or almost time for dessert pizzas, and red is stop, ready for the check.
Service is great, very small parking lot behind the restaurant, ambiance is unique, I’ll be back soon enough!

I’ve never even heard of this place until I got invited to a friend’s birthday party. The restaurant is located within a small mall arcade, along with a grocery store, salon, and some shops. The restaurant itself is very small, but they seem to have extended themselves into the indoor atrium area. Our big group took up the entire atrium area. It was interesting as the salon, grocery store, and shops all have their doors and windows facing inside the atrium, It felt private as we had the whole area, but not so private at the same time as these other shops were looking right in on us.
Now on to the food. We came here for all you can eat pizza! They start out by coming around and giving us caesar’s salad. Next, they have an assortment of pizzas that they make and come by to hand out. They slice the pizza very small so that people can try more without stuffing themselves. I ended up eating half of each small slice in order to maximize my experience even more.
My favorite ones were the chicken and corn one and the beef stroganoff. They were flavorful, and quite unique. The other pizza flavors were ok but nothing special you can’t find elsewhere.
If there are flavors you want to try, you can always request them to make it. If not, they’ll just be coming around with ones that other people have requested or the normal/​more popular ones.
After we were done, we moved on to the dessert pizzas. The dessert ones were ok but just too sweet for my taste.
Overall, the place is a pretty cool idea. For $ 17, you can fill yourself up with delicious pizzas that tastes better than Round Table’s buffet.
Parking: Street parking only.

Let me start by saying that the food here is delicious! I’m not sure how many pizzas I tried and all of them were fantastic. I’ll name a few though… Pepperoni (a classic), Hawaiian, Alfredo, tomato cheese & bacon, bbq chicken, beef stroganoff (probably my favorite). Unfortunately I was far to full, it being all-​you-​can eat, to try the garlic & cheese, as I’ve heard that it’s one of their best. Needless to say, they have many flavors and many of them are unique.
I love the all-​you can-​eat aspect too. They give you thin slices, so you can try lots of styles and it’s very reasonably priced.
The only reason I can’t give this place 5 stars is the service. The staff is very nice, but slow. They’re also very accommodating. I was in a very large party and they even accepted matzah from another person in my party and cooked it, as they would pizza dough, so he could honor Passover. The real issue is that they’re just tragically slow and often didn’t bring enough pizza or salad to make it even half way around our table. It’s probably just an issue w large groups though.
Long story short, I’ll be back!

Came here after purchasing a groupon deal for 2 all you can eat pizza specials.
Parking: can be tricky, we found street parking on a side street (score).
Ambience: inside a little brazilian mall. very small, intimate, nothing too special.
Service: We initially had called and made «reservations», and when we got there, no one knew what the heck we were talking about, so um, apparently you can’t make reservations. But no one else was really there, so we were seated promptly. Waiters and waitresses were very friendly throughout the whole visit.
Food/​The goods: When you get all you can eat, they basically continue to bring out amazingness of different pizza flavors until your body cannot take any more carbs, cheese, and meats.
The salad was meh, but I Really really enjoyed the pizza. I mean, come on, who else has a beef stroganoff flavored pizza? It was amaze.
My boyfriend really liked the dessert pizzas. really yummy flavors. I tried the nutella + strawberry flavor and it was really great! Just so sweet I couldn’t have another slice.
I’d say definitely purchase the groupon deal and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

All you can eat pizza Brazilian style. They have a lot of different kind and even sweet pizza. My favorites are stroganoff, 4 cheese, Frango catupiry, portuguesa, baiana, carne seca. Actually all flavors are amazing

I AM IN LOVE WITH BELLA VISTA! Went on a date night with my girl, was referred to this place by a friend and I WAS AMAZED! Brazilian Pizza? Whats that was my first response but how this works is like your typical brazilian bbq restaurant. ITS ALL YOU CAN EAT! Same kind of situation where green means yes red means no, but they have an additonal button that is yellow, and thats when you are ready for the… DESSERT PIZZA! WUHHHHHH!
The customer service is GREAT! They make you feel like your at home, joke with you and are constantly being attentive. I think its the owner, but he kept coming to our table making us feel very welcomed!
The food… o man… words cant describe! Being a pizza lover, this was some great quality pizza with unique types as well. I personally loved the Beef Stroganoff!
Will Definitely be coming back!

I don’t know what I have with pizza cravings, but this place hit the spot! I got a groupon but don’t think it’s that cheap because taxes and (included) gratuity really adds up. Nonetheless, you get a variety to choose from so make it count! They come around with trays of fresh, right out of the oven pizzas and you can get as many as you want. They are smart to cut it up into pretty thin slices so you can try all of them!
My favorite ones are beef stroganoff, chicken and corn, and one with pesto. They have a whole variety something for everyone! The pizzas are thin crust and light on the sauce so you don’t get full as fast!
They also have dessert pizzas! My favorite is the banana with cinnamon, pipping hot out of the oven. YUM! Don’t forget to save room!

From the outside, Bella Vista Brazilian Gourmet Pizza just looks like any cheap pizzeria, but once you walk in, you’ll be lead into a huge Brazilian food court style dining area. Once seated, you’ll see many waiters carrying around whole pizzas that will serve you if you get their attention. It’s very similar to the service at a Brazilian all-​you-​can-​eat steakhouse, so similar concept, but with pizza.
Their is a good selection of food ranging from salads and pizzas, but I have to admit, there were some hit and misses with their pizza selections. I liked what they tried to do with their dessert pizzas and I have to give them props for being unique on some of their executions. The staff did the best they could to accommodate our huge party, but due to the craziness of that night and where we were positioned in the restaurant, it was tough to get anybody’s attention.
Everyone has different experiences, but if you do go, get the most value out of it that you can buy selecting the all-​you-​can-​eat option. That way, you can try different pizzas and see which ones you like.

Pizza so bomb if I was a sexaholic I would choose it over nookie. If I was an alcoholic and you set a shot of vodka in front of me and a slice of Bella Vista’s pepperoni pizza I would choose the pizza and say screw the drink. If I was a drug addict this pizza would be my drug of choice. I don’t have any addictions… wait I am lying; according to my boyfriend I am a shopaholic. Pizza or the new shoes I saw with the pretty red bows? I choose the shoes, but my shopping is a serious deal and I go crazy for pretty bowed shoes; otherwise believe you me I would choose the pizza.
With so many pizza joints around here why the heck would you want to go here you ask? Well let me enlighten you really quick and you can thank me later. For $ 16.99 you get unlimited Cesar salad, unlimited pizza (they have so many to choose from you won’t get bored) and it gets even better. When you can no longer breathe and you need to reach under the table and unbutton your pants you also get unlimited sweet pizza; just as you feel like you are about to burst at the seams — yet you won’t say no to that orgasmic sweet pizza with all type of goodness on it from yummy condensed milk to fruit to caramel and anything else you can imagine.
Bonus points? A hot Brazilian chick works here that brings all the pizza around in pretty silver round treys and she has the hottest Brazilian accent so you really feel like you are an authentic spot. Yes, they have regular ol’ pizza toppings, but they do also have interesting traditional Brazilian pizza, and considering I never even knew Brazilians have their own pizza style; I was pretty damn impressed and actually really liked it.
I liked it so much here I shall never be back. Yes, I said it. Bella Vista hit the spot so much I realized I have zero self control and after losing count of how many slices I had and having to walk down to the car with my pants unbuttoned assuring people passing me by I am not selling my goodies but just ate too much pizza hence the reason my underwear is out for the world to see… after that experience I shall indeed never be back. I almost feel like I need to take off the clothe that’s hanging on my work out bike, dust that sucker off and do a 3 hour spin session until I’ve sweated everything I ate out. So, let me do exactly that. I’m going to go get my butt on the treadmill meanwhile I recommend you (yes YOU) bookmark this spot and go there ASAP because everyone and anyone out there who enjoys an awesome slice (or 10 slices) of pizza needs to be at Bella Vista.

I came here with a few friends awhile back. It looked deceptively empty at first but they have a rather large seating room in the back. To be honest I can’t eat that much in one sitting so I’m not sure that the all-​you-​can-​eat deal was worth it for me, but my friends certainly seemed to enjoy it!
My favorite types of pizza were the chicken and corn one and the beef stroganoff one. The flavors are so original and there are a ton of options. My friend who was vegetarian had a lot of options too.
I wish they hadn’t tried to fill us up on salad so much but I left ridiculously full. One of my friends ate 18 pieces haha :)
The dessert pieces are also good! Nutella with strawberry and condensed milk, fig and cheese, and a cinnamon flavor :)

AYCE Brazilian pizza? Sure! They always have their Groupon deal running so be sure to get that before you go. It’s a funky-​looking place (with lots of murals), in a building with an interesting courtyard that at first feels like it’s outside but then you realize is enclosed. Heck, I’ll take faux-​alfresco dining, especially on a hot muggy evening! They don’t serve alcohol here but your can bring your own and they charge corkage (not sure how much) – there was a guy at the next table with a full-​on cooler of beer, lol. Much like at a Brazilian BBQ joint, you have little plastic indicators that lets the server know what your status is: Green is bring it on, Yellow is I’m ready for dessert, and Red is I’m ready for the check. The food started coming out right away, and these are all the pizzas my bf and I tried:
Frango Com Catupiry (Chicken, catupiry, corn – catupiry is a Brazilian «cream cheese», they called it. Interesting and delicious!)
Margherita Pizza (Mozzarella, parmesan cheese, basil, tomato)
Berinjela Pizza (Grilled eggplant, mozzarella, green olives)
Palmito Pizza (Heart of palm, mozzarella, green olives, oregano)
Strogonoff Pizza (Beef stroganoff, potato sticks – this was also very interesting and tasty)
Abobrinha Ao Pesto Pizza (Zucchini, parmesan, green olives, pesto sauce – this was our fave veg pizza)
Rucula Com Tomate Seco Pizza (Mozzarella, dried tomato, arugula)
Romana Pizza (Mozzarella, anchovies, tomato, black olives, oregano – yum, anchovies!)
There was one more I couldn’t find on their online menu – like a Mexican-​style one with jalapenos and ranch dressing – not my fave but OK.
For dessert we had the chocolate, condensed milk and strawberries pizza; that night they also happened to have a white chocolate variety, which we tried also. Very good, but by then I was on so much pizza crust overload I could barely manage a few bites. The slices are thin, but believe me, you fill up fast. I almost wished the slices were even thinner so I could sample more! The problem was I just wasn’t THAT hungry on this visit so that was my bad. The servers were very friendly and attentive, and overall it was a good experience. The next time I want to experience a pizza coma I know where to come!
STEPH JUDGEMENT: If you’d like to sample a variety of off-​the-​beaten-​path pizzas, this is a can’t miss!

A very eclectic variety of pizzas, you won’t run out of slices to try.
Came in with with the groupon and spent about 2 hours eating here. Food was a bit slow to come out and we where one of 2 tables eating in.
The pizza was very fresh and delicious.
Favorites where
–Chicken and corn
–The cheese pizza
–Meatlovers
–Fried Garlic
The white chocolate pizza was also very very good as a dessert pizza.
The server always gave the other table first choice on all the slices that came out so many times my table was left with only second choices of certain pizzas.
Also we where charged gratuity for using the groupon. Not a complaint at all specially since the groupon is the best deal in town, to be honest, I would have tipped more then what the gratuity charge was.
I can tell this is an issue with other diners because when I asked about the gratuity to the gentleman at the front he became a bit defensive. Once again I didn’t ask about the gratuity to complain about it, but just to make sure this was the tip and would be going to my server who was thorough and very friendly.

A darn good thin crust pie. I refrained from getting the all you can eat pizza as I would not be able to control myself. I shared a pepperoni and fresh mushroom as well as a salad with bacon.
They were moderately busy and there was only one waiter so you had to be patient to get things. But overall it was a good experience and a darn good pizza.

***Hit-​and-​Miss***
LOCATION. Located on the southside of Venice Blvd, just west of Overland, in a small Brazilian mall. There are a few shops, including a hair salon, which share a common pavilion. The shop itself is rather small and expands its seating into the open pavilion. An odd set-​up, but it seems to work. (
)
CONCEPT. It’s a Brazilian pizzeria, which offers you an «All-​You-​Can-​Eat» option. You can also just purchase whole pizzas. AYCE includes Cesar salad and any slices of any kind of pizza on the menu (which boasts over 30 pizzas). Seriously. You just tell ‘em some diffferent pizzas you want to try and the cooks slap together pizzas that are ¹⁄₃ this and ¹⁄₃ that, depending on the requests of the diners. They do their best to give everyone what they want, but when it gets busy, the kitchen gets a bit inundated and customer requests are addressed in a rather delayed manner. Sometimes, you leave not having tried many of the slices you requested but trying pizza you didn’t intend to because, well, it’s being offered… and you’re hungry.
So, basically, you tell ‘em what you want to try and they come out with various slices, offering you the chance to try some of what you ordered, as well as a slice of what is being made for other customers. Neat idea… Good intent… Mediocre execution.
SERVICE. Friendly, but when it gets busy, it’s hard to get good service. Waters remain empty and sometimes tummies rumble, waiting for the next offerings to arrive. They need to step it up a bit, especially when tables are filling up. This includes the kitchen staff.
FOOD. The Cesar salad is cold, crisp, and fresh. (
) Honestly, it’s so damn good, I could eat it at least once a week. It’s one of the best things they offer, in my opinion. Maybe they should consider making a couple different salads — they totally nail their Cesar.
The pizza varies. Strange Brazilian offerings and traditional, alike. One of the most impressive things I tried while I was here was a slice of pizza that featured four different cheeses, including one Brazilian cream cheese, «CATUPIRI,» that was a revelation. However, my favorite pizza they offer is the Fried Garlic pizza. Imagine a great cheese pizza with some legit garlic infusion. Forkin’ awesome! (
)
The dessert pizzas are not to my liking, but the cheese and guava pizza is actually not as bad as it sounds. A good take on sweet and savory. However, the lackluster quality of the pizza crust is more readily apparent when eating the dessert pizzas. Not quite sure why this is.
OVERALL. Totally cool spot to try. Parking, like the pizza, is hit and miss. Mostly street parking, and a small lot in the rear. You might really find a new type of pizza you love. My gf really digs this spot, which is fine by me… I’ll just cram Fried Garlic pizza and Cesar salad into my facehole.
