We are two sisters committed to good food, family, and our community.

Gail was a pastry chef, line cook, and banquet cook in one of San Francisco’s hottest hotels for ten years before moving back home to Ohio. She knew coming home to start her own pizza business with her sister was a good move, and after 10 successful years of running a business and feeding people, Bella Sorella Pizza is one of the most fulfilling things Gail has ever done.

Elizabeth brings her teaching and leadership skills to Bella Sorella after building her first outdoor brick oven 15 years ago on her farm. After feeding her friends and family for years, she asked Gail to move home and help her bring wood-fired pizza to Dayton. Their commitment together as sisters is to create a community around food, staff, customers, and our town.

Bella Sorella began in 2013 with one mobile oven and van, and currently we have three mobile ovens and have opened our first restaurant in September 2025.
