Jason LeeJuly 12, 2014I have lived in NYC for over 10 years and have had pizza in countless restaurants, but nothing quite compares to what's on offer at Stella Barra. It's THAT good! Every dish is cooked to perfection.
Staff PicksFebruary 25, 2016Butternut squash is a hot item this week, and if you head on over to Stella Barra, you're in for a treat with their butternut squash pizza with candied bacon. It'll blow your mind.
Their pizzas are terrific! I love the mushroom truffle pizza, and then add Italian sausage on it--it's delicious! If they ever have the grilled cauliflower appetizer special, order it too! Yum!
Christina ChinSeptember 3, 2023Excellent pizza, u can do half/half if u cant choose just one. Sit at bar if u dont wanna wait. Staff was awesome and friendly, i think they have a monday hh special too. Would def go back!
Winnie KhooMarch 1, 2015Great bartender. Get half pizzas to try more flavors. Faves: pizza - butternut squash, brussels; Skip: beets, pizza - spinach & kale
Roo O'BrienJuly 8, 2018The burratta grape starter was out of this world. The pizza was one of the best I’ve had in years, and I live in New York.
Felix OrtizApril 14, 2020The pizza was wonderful! They used a variety of Italian cheeses, which made each pizza special. It tastes authentic as we enjoyed in Italy. We also loved the Tiramisu.
Tara CunninghamMay 21, 2013holy sh!t, that was good. being from bk, i was a skeptic, but i was blown away. we got the bloomsdale spinach pizza, it was delish! so glad that this is our local 'za spot..nomz
Featuring 12-13-inch artisan style pizzas highlighting a range of sustainable, locally-grown ingredients found at the Santa Monica farmer's market. The menu changes seasonally, too.- The burrata with grilled grapes is the perfect way to start. Try the TBN2 cocktail with a white tea and egg white foam topper.
The spinach and crispy purple kale salad is not only healthy, but also delicious. The same goes for the oven roasted tomato pizza. Highly recommend both if you ever stop by!
Jeremy CApril 19, 2015Try the prosciutto egg pizza for something a bit different yet super tasty. Get there by 6p on weekend nights to avoid the wait.
NavinJanuary 7, 2013Give this a shot: shaved mushroom white pizza with gruyere, melted onions, black truffle, torn parsley, rosemary and thyme
Media With VisionApril 4, 2014My favorite dinner spot in Santa Monica. Amazing homemade pizza with locally grown salad and a nice California Cabernet hits the spot every time!
- NanaMay 18, 2016Mushroom truffle pizza was the best. Goat cheese and sausage was pretty good. Oh oh the sangria 🍷for $5!! Win!
- DailyCandyApril 5, 2013The bustling, sceney atmosphere has small but mighty wine list, and best spinach and kale salad west of the Mississippi.
Alex DavilaOctober 28, 2013The seasonal butternut squash pizza with candied bacon is amazing! Highly recommended.
Kirti VasheeDecember 25, 2015Rossa pizza and Butternut squash pizza much better than Margherita ... also cookies were great
Naz F. GérdabiJune 23, 2014My new fav pizza joint!! Yummy food, great atmosphere, and great staff...what more can u ask for?!
- Keith BlodornJune 6, 2022Pizzas here are very good. We shared three between four people, which was plenty.
MariaSeptember 10, 2016Not as tasty as we were expected after comments reading! Good place for drink and chat! White Pizza with mushrooms and Italian sausages was strange!
Adam HillAugust 9, 2014Get a little crazy and order a half white, half red pizza. Def try the truffle one.
Jacqueline L.April 3, 2013Happy hour: Mon-Thu 10PM-midnight, Fri-Sat 11PM-1AM, Sun 9PM-11PM. $3 bottled beers, $4 draught, $5 wines, $12 sangria pitchers.
JoycottJune 19, 2014As sustainable as possible, and locally sourced. And the pizza rocks! What's not to love?
Deep SidhpuraFebruary 22, 2020The pizza is a standard neopolitan pizza, nothing too special. Much bette pizza places can be found!
- The burrata appetizer comes with grilled grapes, drizzled with olive oil. Perfection!
Try adding Fennel sausage to the Hobbs Pepperoni pizza. It's fabulous!
Joseph HallJanuary 24, 2016pizza is phenomenal; get the pepperoni and add calebrian chiles! sublime.
Start with the burrata app. Pay attention to the pizza specials. If the bacon & goat cheese is available, go for it.
John TomaszewskiJune 28, 2013I'm surprised no one said anything about the pork meatball sub. Soo good and a little spicy kick!
The brunch is great with the yummy little potatoes and fresh bread- I love both plain Hobbs pepperoni or pepperoni plus fennel sausage @StellaRossa
- KamAugust 27, 2013You can go half and half on pizza; you just pay the price of the most expensive one :)
Waldemar WegelinOctober 30, 2012Get the butternut squash and sweet bacon pizza. It'll blow your mind.
