    This 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!

    Best 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!

    Top 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.

    Pizzeria 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.

    Order 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.

    I enjoyed both of the specialty pizzas. Sitting at the counter was fun watching them make the pizza and chatting with them.

    Who 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

    When 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.

    Tartufo 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.

    The 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.
