Pizzeria Stella

Pizzeria Stella on South Street boasts a winning combination of delicious food and a delightful atmosphere. Their pizzas are truly outstanding - I highly recommend the San Danielle for its perfect balance of flavors. If you're looking for something beyond pizza, don't miss the gnocchi with guanciale bacon - it's absolutely divine!Whether you're a pizza enthusiast or just looking for a cozy spot with incredible Italian food, Pizzeria Stella is a must-try. The ambiance adds a special touch to the experience, making it a great choice for a casual date night or a fun dinner with friends.

After going to Stella many times over the last few years, I felt compelled to write a review. We sat at the pizza bar and enjoyed watching every pizza you can imagine created during the hour or so we were there. We started with the Little Gem Caesar salad - which definitely isn't little, but it's definitely a gem! The romaine leaves might have been the largest I've had in a salad - tenderly crisp with a delightful Parmesan dressing, and crunchy little croutons. It was so fresh, and perfect for two to share.Next, Polpette! Wood roasted meatballs with a gravy that will momentarily have you forgetting you're having pizza! I savored every incredible bite, and would have asked for bread to soak up the sauce, but knew I wouldn't have room for the pizza. Of course, we had our pizza served after the salad and meatballs. We selected the Pistachio pizza, one of the most unique pizzas I've ever had. It's layered with fontina cheese and red onions, topped with pistachios, and has a subtle, yet seductive rosemary seasoning that pulls everything together. It's a must have if you're a pizza lover.

Came here hoping to just get a slice but when I came in I saw the pies weren't that big so got seated to see what's good. The one nice mgr got me seated and I asked for drink recommendations and got some lavender color drink which was too sweet for me lol. The server recommended the spinach pizza which I added pepperoni which was good but should have went with something else since I was really looking at the Tarfulo or Quattro Formaggi. Good crust and pizza was decent. But I can't add this to a go to pizza spot I'd cross the bridge for any time soon since im taking the bus lol. Maybe next time I get the meatballs which why buddy swears are amazing but he likes balls lol.

We stayed in Philly for a few days near the convention center. One night we headed over to Pizzeria Stella. We ordered the Pulpo to start, it was a smaller portion with potatoes it was ok. We then ordered 4 different types of Pizza which are 12 in and Neapolitan style. All were close to $20 in price. Our favorite was the San Daniele. Service was quick but for some reason one of the pizzas were cool. The interior was very nicely decorated and we loved the bottle opener wall.

Very good pie. Excellent taste and very good service. Beautifully charred and crispy. Highly recommendable.

Pizzeria Stella is a very solid Italian spot. I will always return for the olive oil gelato - it's incredible and probably my favorite ice cream in Philly. I will say though, the last time I visited the scoop felt significantly smaller lol. They also have good pizza, we've tried and enjoyed the sausage, pepperoni, peach and prosciutto special, pistachio and tartufo. I like their pasta too, it isn't the absolute best but it hits my Cacio e Pepe craving. Service is always solid. Last time we went we also tried the seasonal sangria (blueberry and mint) and it was so good, highly recommend

Highly recommend visiting! Anytime I'm in town, I will try to stop by the restaurant or order pickup! The San Daniele js my go-to but any item from their menu is tasty. Cute spot with a wood fire pizza oven. I went with a big group and service was good. Bathrooms were clean & we didn't wait long for a table (during the week).

Really good pizza and everything. Casual enough for kids, yet they have cocktails and wine. Tartufo was amazing, as were fried donuts. Definitely recommend. Not too busy on a Sunday afternoon.

How can a place be so consistent with amazing food?! Everytime I come here, I try something new and it blows my mind. The best arancini and rosemary flatbread is served right here!! I'll never be the same if this place ever closes down.
