The Simple Joy of Pizza.

Tucked into Philadelphia’s historic Headhouse Square, Pizzeria Stella brings the warmth and easygoing spirit of a traditional neighborhood pizzeria to life. A wood-burning oven turns out Neapolitan-inspired pizzas, from beloved classics to inventive combinations, each made fresh to order. Seasonal antipasti, house-made pastas, and gelato round out a menu rooted in the simple pleasures of Italian cooking. With its inviting dining room, relaxed atmosphere, and welcoming approach to hospitality, Stella is a place for families, friends, and neighbors to gather over good food. Casual, lively, and full of character, Pizzeria Stella has become a much-loved local favorite over the years.
