Employees were super friendly and accommodating. A classic Italian sort of deli/ shop. Pizza was delicious and made with love! It's pretty small inside so not much seating to offer, it's more of a take out kind of place. Prices were a little high but it's worth supporting a small business!

My favorite Italian spot in little Italy. I wouldn't come here for fine dining, they have like two tables you can have lunch with a coworker but I'd recommend limoncello in federal hill for a nice fine dining experience or amicci's. However, for lunch this spot is perfect! I love the Marcus, cold cut Italian, and serafina! They have the best speciality sandwiches and pasta! I highly recommend this Italian spot. Also the staff is super friendly and kind.

Food is awesome! My family and I got a pizza last night. There were no leftovers. Pizza was eaten upon arrival. 5 stars all the way .

Return visit after a few years away. The place was busy in it's final hour of the day to process a catering order. They close at 4pm so, I am glad to have gotten in before the started to wind down for the day. The food and history of this place has quite a reputation so, I am pleased. The place is small but efficient.

A must try! Competition in Little Italy is fierce, but I would say that Isabella's is super solid. It's nothing like a Sicilian pizza, but it is far from an American NY slice. For the Leonardo pizza, the arugula helps balance the saltiness of the prosciutto. The breading isn't the chewiest or snappiest, but it is very solid with firmer texture. The service was wonderful: family owned and operated. Receiving the pizza took about 18 minutes so if you are in a time crunch, I would suggest ordering in advance and picking it up. I will definitely come back and hope to see you around as well :)

Tried this place on a sunny Friday afternoon. I was a little shocked at the price point of 25$ for a large pizza in a take out type of venue but went for it anyway. We sat outdoors; they have a few tables available. Pizza was good but not great, and not particularly memorable. I felt like the ingredients were likely canned and not fresh. We asked for the pizza well done but it was still a little soggy at the tips of the pizza slices. 3.5 stars.

Stopped here to get something quick. I had a chicken parm sub. It was pretty decent. The service was fast and everyone was friendly. The place is very small, I think I remembered seeing 3 tables in here. Definitely a place to order in advance and pick up and go. I plan on stopping back to try to pizza. It's hard when I get in this area because almost everything within the 2 block radius is really good stuff.

Takeout review only. Little Italy is a competitive location for pizza spots but this place is definitely one of my favorites. While not the cheapest in the area, Isabella's has some of the best topping combinations. The Pizza Pavion is one of my favorite combos of all time. The slightly bitter broccoli rabe with melted cheese and acidic tomato sauce is an amazing flavor bomb. I like their Neapolitan style thin crust that maintains crispiness despite travel time and when microwaved as leftovers. My partner also likes to get their hot sandwiches and a large is definitely more than a foot long. Their meatball and porchetta sandwiches hit the spot but are not the juiciest in Baltimore. Their Italian sub is good but could use a more vinegar. For some extra kick consider topping with hot honey or Calabrian chilies.
