If you find yourself searching for a casual place to eat near Gallery Place, try Ella's Pizza. The wait, if there is one, is usually manageable, the service is top notch, and the tab is affordable. The trick at Ella's Pizza is knowing what to order. Unfortunately, many of the pizzas are bland and disappointing, and the crust isn't good enough to carry the pizza without tasty toppings. The margherita, in particular is a BIG let down. Here's a list of the pizzas I've tried that deliver on flavor:
- genovese (potato, parmesan, prosciutto, pesto)
- lombardi (caramelized onions, gorgonzola, rosemary)
- polpotini (ella's meatballs, tomato sauce, leeks, parmesan)
- melanzane (eggplant, tomato, red onion, yellow peppers, black olives, goat cheese)
- pucillo (prosciutto, arugula, tomato, smoked mozzarella)
Ella's has great happy hour specials (bar only) from 4 to 7 pm. Try the sangria!
