J. R. Pizza Bella Restaurant (Margate)
***** J. R. Pizza Bella Restaurant, 7868 West Sample Road, Margate, Florida 33065, (954) 753-1300.
Got a real good “hole in the wall” mom & pop–red sauce Italian joint for you…J. R. Pizza Bella Restaurant in Margate.
Rather than beating around the bush with all kinds of stories—J.R. Pizza Bella has to be ranked right up there with the best of the Italian red sauce “mom & pop” joints Jeff Eats has “tried” down here in sunnny South Florida. Trust me- I know that’s quite a statement for me to make–based on the number of joints I’ve hit, but what is-is! This little joint, really cranked out some delicious stuff.
J. R. has the full-boat of pizzas, pastas, hot/cold subs, seafood/chicken/meat entrees. You can check menu/prices at www.jrpizzabella.com.
Like I said a few seconds ago, this is a “hole in the wall”—handful of tables and booths, that’s it. I know it isn’t really necessary to tell you, but—your shorts/tee shirt ensembles will work well at this joint.
Tried J. R. out for dinner the other night…large cheese pizza ($13.95), veal parmigiana ($16.95), meat lasagna ($11.95), chicken marsala ($14.95), zuppa di pesce ($22.95)—every “item” was right on the money. The joint’s garlic rolls, minestrone soup, ziti with marinara sauce and house salad were also delicious. Good size portions, super pleasant service, reasonable prices—nothing really missing from this outing.
Let me close this one out by saying…J. R. Pizza Bella Restaurant is a winner.
J.R. Pizza Bella Restaurant is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm, Sunday 11am-10pm.
Jeff,
Good call, the food is as you say really good.
If I recall correctly, the owner use to work for Barone’s La Pizzeria which also has great food.
Delicious food.
Good prices.
the owner use to be the chef at barone’s la pizzeria.
JR Pizza Bella is great…. the owners are fantastic people and care for their customers…portions are good sized for lunch the next day… Their Veal Marsala and Chicken parm is the best around…..and dont forget the antipasta …..you will not be diappointed ……we have tried other places but nothing compares to JRS……
Have eaten at jrs quite a few times and have never been disappointed. Great food and great people always willing to help out.

We have enjoyed over 50 Menu items.
There is no other restaurant in Broward County that can even begin to compete with the quality, flavor and price.
You should have JR cater your events! WE DID

A group of us ate there the other night. The food was especially delicious and the prices super reasonable.
My wife & I were totally blown away by this excellent little restaurant as soon as we entered! The Italian atmosphere is second only to the delicious Italian cuisine! The service is friendly and we felt like ‘one of the family’ at the end of our dining experience. We look forward to our next visit and will highly recommend “JR Pizza Bella” to family and friends!!
