La Bella Italia Pizza Restaurant

La Bella Italia is a family-run Neapolitan pizzeria at 3/346 Esplanade in Scarness, turning out wood-fired pizza that regularly rates among the best in Hervey Bay. It is a dinner spot opposite the beach with a partly covered outdoor patio.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the partly covered outdoor patio, a comfortable spot to sit with a dog while the Esplanade goes by. There is no indoor dog access. Bring your own water bowl, as one is not reliably provided.

Good to know. Authentic wood-fired and gourmet pizzas are the headline, with a full bar for wine and beer. It opens evenings only, Tuesday to Saturday, and is closed Sunday and Monday, so plan around dinner service.

Getting there. Free off-street and street parking are available along the Esplanade and nearby side streets. It is right on the main Scarness strip.

Nearby with the dogs. Scarness Beach and parkland sit directly across the road, and the Esplanade pathway is right there for a walk before or after dinner.
