Isabella's Pizzeria - Hammond

Good pizza, sufficient meat. We will return. Kinda hidden off Railroad Avenue, so be sure to GPS.

Years ago, this place was great. Today, the service sucks, and apparently the pizza dough has changed from years ago. Food was so slow out the kitchen. Only 3 other people in the restaurant. Never come back. This place needs help.

DoorDashed 12 03 2022 @4:39pm OVERALL+PRICE+QTY: 3 of 5 Stars Picture 7a+7b DoorDash Order Picture #1 Pizza Margherita Recv 'd Picture #1b Pizza Margherita Shown 1 5 StarsThis was a substitution, I initially ordered a Shrimp Pesto Pizza, but it was NOT AVAILABLE. I noticed afterward it was Removed as an option from their DoorDash Menu. DoorDash immediately contacted Me, so I just asked to substitute the Margherita Pizza at the same cost. SADLY, I should have asked for a Refund. This Pizza was NOTHING LIKE SHOWN It was basically just a Cheese Pizza. There was NO BASIL (unless You count the 2 Pieces of BLACK BURNT Dust!! the Tomatoes were tiny and diced, NOT Nice Chunks of Tomatoes shown in the Pic on DoorDash PICTURE #1b VERSUS PICTURE #1. PICTURE #2 Alfredo Pasta (Chicken $8.25 5 5 Stars The Chicken Alfredo Pasta was creamy and had nice chunks of Chicken, with a decent serving size for the price. PICTURE #3 Roasted Eggplant+Red Pepper Sandwich $9.95 2 5 Stars The sandwich was Ok, but not Good. It didn 't have much flavor, and was mostly melted Mozzarella Cheese, a Few Slices of Eggplant+Mayo (PICTURE #4 . I know there was Red Peppers in there (maybe 2 3 pieces? , but all together they didn 't add much flavor, so I was a bit disappointed. PICTURE #4 Inside of Roasted Eggplant+Red Pepper Sandwich PICTURE #5 Mozzarella Sticks $9.95 4 5 Stars This Appetizer Starter was the BEST Part of the order, and worth the Cost. The Mozzarella Sticks were Big+Thick, Breaded well mostly Hot. They could have been Hotter+the Cheese more melted. The Marinara sauce had a good flavor, but was definitely not enough for the number sticks served. I had to grab some spaghetti sauce out of the refrigerator. Oh! the Parmesan on top was a waste, as it was very hard, bitter and just didn 't belong! PICTURE #6 BBQ Chicken+Ham Panini (w incl.salad $12.00 2 5 Stars This was NOT well received, the bread was too hard, the Ham was sliced so thin you could barely find it , and it didn 't have any taste. Even the BBQ sauce, which should have added a flavor punch, was thin and tasted like ketchup. Lastly, the salad croutons were old stale. I was psyched to try Isabella 's Pizzeria for the 1st time, because their menu seemed like it had a lot of foods I could try out. Being a Pescatarians it can be a challenge to find Italian entrees. I was disappointed the Shrimp Pesto Pizza wasn 't available. Overall, Isabella 's food quality seemed HIT OR MISS , and the issues seemed to be related to lack of attention+care, and with the exception of the sandwich paninis simply lack of FLAVOR!! Just look at the difference between the Margherita Pizza shown and what was received, I mean really? NO BASIL?! that 's just a Cheese Pizza!‍ The Sandwich Paninis They both seemed to lack any real or distinct flavor, period. If You want some hard Panini Bread with a LOT of Melted Mozzarella Cheese then Go For it!, Because that is all You 're going to taste (I think regardless of the sandwich You order. For the price points of the Sandwiches Paninis having No Flavor is just unacceptable! Also, the difference between my Eggplant sandwich and the BBQ Chicken Panini was basically non existent other than type name, yet the Panini came with a small bunch of salad (and at $3.00 more!! . I don 't think that Isabella 's Pizzeria will be getting my business again in the future. I 'd rather order from Joe 's Italian Resturante (at least they have awesome garlic bread! or even Pizza Hut or Domino 's! I want to point out that DoorDash handled the order issue quickly efficiently by contacting me immediately by phone. The Rep informed me of the issue asked if I wished to cancel the order. However, I requested a simple substitute item at the same cost. I was put on hold They contacted+confirmed the change with the Restaurant. TIPS: 1 Screen Shot EACH Menu Item You Order in case You have an issue later, and the Restaurant already removed it from their menu options. 2 Have an Idea of a 2nd Choice Item at the same Price, If Your 1st Item is not available, so You aren 't put on the spot and left Rushing to find something else to pick. Good Luck! Bon Appetite! UPDATE: To DoorDash 's Credit, I contacted them complained about the Margherita Pizza (was just a cheese pizza +Sandwiches (No Flavor , and received a partial refund. I don 't typically complain to DD as it isn 't their fault, but the restaurant is their vendor, and this time I was upset about that pizza+the quality, so I put in the effort this time, just Fyi I Love Door Dash, as I have mobility issues so I can 't just run out pick up my own food. smiles

First, service was beyond expectations (thank you Ashley). Second, prices were very fair. Third, this was our first time so we ordered different items, food was superb. All everyone could say was you have to try mine. 54 years of my life and never have I eaten at a pizzeria that blew me away.

Amazing pizza , great services , love the mia salad and the thin crust pizza. highly recommend this place
