Owners Marie Perez-Chiu and Richard Doerr, Bella Marie’s Pizzeria.
St. George, UT, August 12, 2010 — Bella Marie’s Pizzeria, a locally owned restaurant featuring homemade Italian food and desserts, is now open in the Tonaquint Hills Retail Center located at Tonaquint Business Park in St. George. The pizzeria is located at 1487 Silicon Way, Suite A1.
Stan Perkins, Tonaquint Business Park’s vice-president for marketing, welcomed the new restaurant, calling it “a prized acquisition for what will eventually become a 700,000 square foot retail and business center.”
Owned and operated by Richard Doerr and Marie Perez-Chiu, Bella Marie’s Pizzeria has already received accolades in the most recent “Best of Southern Utah” list, earning two third place awards—one for “Best Italian” and another for “Best Non-Frozen Dessert—as well as honorable mentions for “Best Pizza,” “Best Lunch,” “Best Family Dinner,” and “Best Sandwiches.” “With less than a year in business,” Marie said, “we are pleased that local residents are discovering that we are passionate about both the quality of the food we serve and the service we provide.”
At Bella Marie’s, everything is made from scratch, including desserts, sauces, and the pizza dough baked fresh daily in a brick oven. Marie, a registered nurse, believes there can be no substitute for natural, fresh ingredients. She points out that the recipes used at Bella Marie’s are based on family recipes passed down through generations. “Our grandparents created wonderful meals from natural, fresh ingredients,” she said, “and our goal is to do the same for our customers.”
Richard and Marie are on-site six days a week. “We love interacting with our customers,” Richard said, “and getting to know them. We think of them as family, and we want to provide them with the kind of dining experience we are accustomed to sharing with family members.”
Commenting on their decision to locate in the Tonaquint Hills Retail Center, the couple pointed out that it puts them on a major through highway in the midst of an area that is slated for major development. “We do have to put some effort into letting people know we’re out here,” Doerr said, “rather than in the heart of downtown, but once they find us, they keep coming back.” He noted that working with the Tonaquint Business Park staff has been a pleasure. “They are eager to help us succeed and always ready to do whatever it takes to meet our needs,” he said.
In addition to pizza, Bella Marie’s menu features pasta dishes, chicken and seafood entrees, soups, salads, sandwiches, appetizers and desserts. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It is closed on Sundays.
