Best Pizza Ever!

Mar 2021 • family

Bells is our most favorite pizza ever. They use quality cheese that melts so perfectly and reheats wonderfully the next day. My personal favorite is the mushroom pizza with double mushrooms. There is no skimping on the cheese or toppings and well worth the money. One slice of this pizza is a very filling meal. Oh, the other menu items like hummus and rice pudding are good too, as well as the salad, spinach pie and grape leaves. Many choices of high quality tasty food , much better than any chain restaurant out there. I highly encourage everyone to stop in at least once and order a fresh pizza (slices always available for that bar crowd that needs an immediate snack).

Tasty food, good service in a terrific Googie building!!

Jun 2022 • none

Stopped here for a quick bite after a friend and I attended an event at MSU. Weekday evening after the dinner rush. Service was terrific. The staff was helpful and friendly. We had a good selection of pizzas from which to select our 4 slices: spinach and feta, pepperoni and green olive, cheese, and Hawaiian. Tasty pizza!! Nice fresh Lebanese salad as a side. And my pistachio baklava was the best I've ever eaten. We chose to eat indoors instead of outside on the small patio....too hot, even at 8pm! Truly the only downside our experience, and the reason for the 4 instead of 5 rating, is that nearly every table in the place had not been wiped down following the previous guests, and the floor had not been swept. This is despite seeing two manager types lurking near the pizza ovens while two waitstaff and a cook were helping customers or preparing an order. Oh, shout out for the Googie style building (it was built in 1963 and once housed Dawn Donuts)!!! That is a treat in itself!

Love this place and they are open right now!

Mar 2020 • family

Grinders are my favorite and the spaghetti is $10 which is pretty huge could probably share with another person and comes with tasty garlic bread. They have daily specials and on Tuesday the spaghetti is only $7/$8 or something. The pizza is amazing and has a unique taste you’ve never had before! I always like to ask for my pizzas slightly well done. They have pizza by the slice as well but I think it’s only full pizza orders (maybe you can order slices?) during this pandemic. Also really good hummus and rice pudding!!

Excellent pizza by the slice.

Aug 2024 • family

The pizza was fresh and there was a good selection of choices. We each had two slices. Service was very good and friendly. There were lots of other selections besides pizza, but we only had the pizza.

Bell's is a favorite of locals and MSU students whether for a slice of great Greek pizza their homemade baklava. They are truly a must try if you are a fan of pizza and find yourself traveling through Lansing.

Poor food

Mar 2018 • solo

I wanted a Greek Pizza and salad. For 18$ I got a plastic bowl of iceberg lettuce, gassed tomato, a few not pitted Calamatta olives all very cold from being refrigerated for hours. Then the pizza! More gassed tomato’s, mozzarella cheese with a tiny sprinkle of feta, canned olives, some sort of crust which I assume was frozen long in advance, a vague splash of tomato sauce, onions and peppers. Bland, no crust on the edges, not even close to “Greek” which admittedly is an American concept. Go to my hometown of Marquette, MI and go to Vango’s for the real thing.

Still there.... Still great!

Dec 2017 • solo

I went to MSU and worked an entire career in EL before moving to Texas 7 years ago. Bell's Pizza has been around for all of those years and it has always been so good. Light crust, cheesy with a unique sauce. It has always been the best pizza in town. So I'm back in EL for a day and decided to have lunch at Bells. First time since I left. The place is still awesome. All that has changed in town around this place and Bell's Pizza remains a constant. Strange that great pizza has now become "comfort food" for old Spartans! I highly recommend !

An old school East Lansing classic

Feb 2017 • friends

This is an old East Lansing favorite and for very good reason. Its genuine and friendly-- run by a family that takes great pride in their food and in the atmosphere. Its not fancy by any means-- just the kind of relaxed, open neighborhood restaurant like we used to have in the past. The owner is almost always there with a smile on his face, hoping you'll like his food (and its great-- if you haven't had Greek pizza, its a lighter version of the typical Italian variety). Behind the counter are some of the best local kids (late teens) that you find-- very friendly and professional. The pizza is presented as a wide variety of slices, but you can also order by the pie. There are lovely treats like Greek salads, pasta salads, and baklava available as well.

Written February 7, 2017

What a review! This truly made my day. We love being an old East Lansing staple, especially as we couldn't ask for a better or more supportive community. It sounds like you've always received top-notch service from our local hires (They're such a great team!) and delicious food, be it a slice of pizza or a baklava treat. Here's to many more wonderful meals in our future! See you soon, Habib Jarwan, Owner

I've never seen an owner of a restaurant who is more compassionate and kind. It is clear he cares about the customers and is interested in creating pleasant experiences for all.

Debra, I can't express how much this means to me. Making sure our guests are fully satisfied with their experience is certainly my top goal, so it's wonderful to know that shines through. I promise to always do by best to ensure you leave happy on all counts. Here's to another great meal soon! Habib Jarwan, Owner
