I stand by my comment for 21$ for a soggy pizza I would rather eat at pizza hut right accross the street you have a great place called two boots they have great spicy pizza for as little as 2$ s slice and the pizza is always crisp and good patsys makes a great pie this place wont last unless they get a new management and luigi comes back

Isabella's is just another example of a sure thing being screwed up by the L.E.S. Syndrome of schlocky people coming to what they perceive as a schlocky neighborhood, thinking they can get away with things that would never be tolerated in any other Manhattan neighborhood. That's why the turn over is so great down here.. The whole "Luigi is in Italy scouting Pizza recipes" schtik is hysterical. Isabella's started out great but deteriorated due to cluelss, inept and poor management. They should be selling slices instead of turkey and cheese sandwiches $ 3.50 lunch specials[ with a free can of Coke!]. They won't last the winter.

I agree this place is substandard the food is not even in the top 100 pizzarias of the city the kosher pizza store a few stores away is on par with this ripoff joint.. Pizza is limp and bitter, overpriced the salads are not fresh the pasta is overcooked if you want authentic italian food go to patsy's this place will disapoint

Holy crap!! I just ordered a 16" margerita DOC last night and thought it was a bit off - the crust was a bit more limp than usual and the sauce was oddly tangy, moving torwards bitter. I haven't ordered a pie from there in 3 months, because I've been experimenting weekly with home made pizza, slowly accumulating everything I need to make a proper pie (2 stones, peel, experimenting with uncooked sauce recipes, etc.) I was lazy and just ordered a pie and discovered....damn, I can't believe my homemade pie is almost as good as I.O.!
