Do we really need another pizza place in Greenpoint? Well, probably not, but Ria Bella (1049 Manhattan Avenue) is pretty good and I am more than happy to add it to my rotation of options.
The pizzas are baked in a ceramic oven, with either a thin or traditional Sicilian crust. Some of the pizzas are pretty creative – one that they especially recommend is the Sfincione – a square pie that has tomato basil…

It’s a shame they flyer/litter like a cheap Chinese joint. I won’t be dining there anytime soon.
Ha ha! The food is super expensive. I bought the cheapest pizza for $13 after tax $15! Really?! $15 for a personal pan and it wasn’t even that great, if I want an expensive ass pizza I’ll go to Paulie G’s. I think I’ll stick to my shitty ass affordable Triangolo pizza thank you very much!
Thought the pizza was very good and the owner was a very pleasant person to talk to.Looking forward to going back, and this is from a born and raised GreenPointer….best of luck
I walked into this place because it was empty, I didn’t really want to deal with a crowd, sat down, got handed a menu, glanced at the menu and realized I am a lower class person dining at an upper class Restaurant… Tried to make a mad dash for the door before my wallet was held on trial. “Im not rich” I live in Greenpoint… The only reason I would consider paying these prices for any kind of “Italian” food would be only for the fact that I would actually be in Italy not knowing where to go or where to eat.. After feeling guilty by the awkward presence of employees or whomever they may have been staring at me and watching my every move I decided to buy a personal pie. I will say it did taste good but when I left i was still pretty hungry and went home sad. Thanks Greenpoint for these terrible prices for food these days. Don’t forget you are next door but not quite Williamsburg so stop fronting. P.S. Greenpoint, there are now 4 places like this here… All exactly the same. Its PIZZA! NOT ART!
