Caitlin Z. MurphyJuly 17, 2017This place took us right back to Italy where my husband and I honeymooned about a year ago. The gnocchi is hand made and EXCELLENT. The pizza is to die for. We will be back!
MerveMay 20, 2017Best pizza... ever. Great flavors. I recommend the truffle pizza and definately the shrimp arrabiata and baby kale salad for starters... oh and BEST SALTED CARAMEL GELATO. Do try!
David RosenbloomNovember 24, 2014Top 5 pizza joint in my opinion. The sausage is insane but the best is the one with black truffle and egg. Always amazing. Pizzas are small so get one for each person.
STARR RestaurantsJune 17, 2011Pizzeria Stella serves delicious signature wood-fired pizzas that are a cross between classic Neapolitan and New York style pizza in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
Brendan RastetterAugust 10, 2014Order the Tartufo (black truffle, egg & fontina) and the Pepperoni (abbruzze). They are both fantastic in their own way. This is one of the best pizza joints in town.- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011Steven Starr can do pizza, too. Well, of course he can! 12 different kinds of excellent, thin crust, crispy pizzas. Stella made our 2011 list of Best Restaurants of Philly! Read more
Sweeps JacksonApril 26, 2019I enjoyed both of the specialty pizzas. Sitting at the counter was fun watching them make the pizza and chatting with them.
Eric PJuly 5, 2013All top notch! From the grapefruit Pompelmo cocktail to the lamb Bolognese to the Porchetta wood fired pizza w fennel and garlic.- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011Who knew the pasta here would be a 'best of Philly' pick? Well...anyone who's tried the calamarata pasta little shrimp, guanciale, tomato bits, and chilies would. Oh Mr. Starr, you're so good to us. Read more
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011When you are in the mood for Rustic Italian Pizza this is the perfect place. Go with the traditional Margherita or try the Tartufo with black truffle, fontina, egg, and parmesan.
The plain old margherita is that perfect pie you have to eat with a fork, just like in Southern Italy.
José TejadaApril 1, 2013If you ever visit Philly, this place is a must go. Pizzas to die for: Tartufo and San Daniele. Delicious!- CeciliaMarch 17, 2018The Tartufo Pizza is one of the most unique and delicious pizzas that I have ever eaten.
Christie PrinceOctober 8, 2017The Tartufo pizza is amazing. Also loved the olives with almonds and orange.
Alex WongDecember 3, 2010Tartufo and sausage (order lite pesto, won't be so spicey) are our favs. Like nearly all the pie choices. Staff wonderful, get to know a few makes it a great visit.
Maya Jimenez 😬April 15, 2016The pepperoni pizza is really good! If you're having a drink, go for the Bombi.
Rudy G.July 21, 2013Not only is the pizza good, but the pasta and meatballs are great!!! Great casual place while in Philly!!
Follow FoodieApril 5, 2011The pepperoni pizza here is the best I've ever had. The pepperoni is sliced very thin, it curls in the oven and gets very crispy. Delicious.
Andrew SteinkelerJanuary 13, 2014Margarita pizza is simple but delicious as are their meatballs! Great for date night
Greg MaughanNovember 10, 2014Pizza here is really good and the atmosphere is fun (but a little loud).
- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2010They'll be broadcasting Monday Night Football in the bar, along with $3 seasonal draft beer specials, $3 Stella Artois, and a variety of new dishes from chef Shane Solomon. Read more
James WeberDecember 30, 2012Great Pizza, wonderful vibe and really friendly people. Wood fired pizza's.
Visit PhillyMarch 7, 2012Grab one of the eight stools at the bar, so you can eye up your pizza as it's being made.
Nichole KmiecJanuary 12, 2013When they have it in special get the ricotta gnocchi appetizer it is amazing.- Follow FoodieApril 5, 2011The tartufo pizza is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Truffles, egg, cheese...simply amazing.
- Susan PowersNovember 11, 2010Excellent pizza and service. Love the fresh salumi and the gelato is very good as well.
