10% Off at Bella’s if You Say the Secret Word

One of our favorite Old Pasadena haunts is Bella’s Gourmet Pizza in Old Pasadena, because it feels like my favorite Manhattan pizza pie spots and the servings are delicious. Here’s good news: Bella’s GM Mike Tabone tells us he’s currently offering a 10% discount to every customer who says the magic word “Tree” when they order — as in “Christmas tree”!

Best suggestions: Stop by when you’re shopping and need lunch or a snack. The pizzas are great (especially the Primo), or you can grab a slice and dash on to your next destination. Whatever you do, put Bella’s meatball appetizer on your list of  “must eats.” Delicious. Dangerously addictive.

Just in case you missed the news (and this is old news, but it’s important news) Bella’s has evolved way beyond its humbler beginnings and now offers wines. With its wide screen TV’s and freshly refloored/repainted digs, it’s worth a visit — especially if you say the magic “Tree” word…

Bella’s Gourmet Pizza, 16 North Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena. (626) 449-3332.
