Curtis Bay's
corner Italian kitchen.

A neighborhood kitchen, turning the corner

Bella Mia sits at the far-south end of Fort Smallwood Road, where Curtis Bay meets the county line — the kind of corner pizza-and-subs spot every Baltimore neighborhood is lucky to have.

Under new management, the kitchen has been winning people back one plate at a time. Longtime neighbors who'd drifted away are coming back and finding the food better than they remembered — hand-tossed pizza, generous subs, and Italian-American plates that lean affordable and plentiful.
