Nonna Joyce’s Italian Cookies – From Our Family to Your Table
Joyce Alosi has spent a lifetime baking old-world Italian cookies: soft anise knots, rainbow sprinkle cookies, lemon twists, biscotti and more – all made by hand, one tray at a time, and served exclusively at Bella’s Pizza & Pasta in Mesa, Arizona.
Joyce isn’t a factory. She’s a wife, mom, grandmother and baker who has spent decades perfecting Italian home-style cookies – the kind that show up at weddings, holidays, church potlucks and family tables.
Every batch that arrives at Bella’s Pizza & Pasta in Mesa is mixed, scooped, shaped and glazed by hand. When you order a plate after your pizza or pasta, you’re tasting a little bit of family tradition from the Alosi kitchen.

Ask your server for Joyce’s Italian Cookie Plate. If you don’t see it, ask what she baked this week – sometimes trays sell out fast.

“Every cookie I bake is a little thank-you to God, to my family, and to every person who takes a bite and smiles.
If you’re serving these at your table, I want them to feel like they came straight from my kitchen – because they did.”
