The best
gluten-free
pizza crust is our passion.
From the first day we gathered around a pizza oven with Mrs. Hewitt to taste what is now the Bella Cena Pizza, our guarded enthusiasm turned into smiles, and our smiles turned into “wows”, our “wows” turned into exclamations, with the realization that we were enjoying something that no others have ever tasted, and collectively, realizing that at that moment, we had turned the single largest page in the history of pizza. Bella Cena will always have the memory of our beginning. Our future is footed upon our commitment to uncompromising quality. Our culture of “Forza Famiglia” was born in our passion for people. Our strengths come from the individuality of our Bella Cena family. Bella Cena is a one-of-a-kind brand a winning culture of can-do, and a growing family of world class people and partners.
For far too long, we’ve been forced to settle for various formulations of flat disc shaped rounds that shamelessly masquerade as pizza. Bella Cena pizza crust bakes and tastes like amazing pizza; that’s because it is pizza! Stupendous texture and flavor throughout, the crunch of the crust, and the flexibility of the dough, all providing a satisfying real pizza experience without wheat, gluten, eggs, or cheese. A delicious, a soft, yet firm texture with an amazing chew in every bite. Bella Cena makes your pizza a beautiful meal.
