BLUF: Delicious pies and a quiet place to sit. This awesome spot is located right across from Halcyon . It is in a shopping center of sorts in a commercial establishment here in San Antonio. I say this because it lets you know that there are two entrances and you'll be graded regardless , but you will be indicated where to sit if you go to the hostess front desk by the firewood first Customer service was outstanding and earned this place. It's fifth star. I was made to feel welcome and when the sun in the San Antonio skies was shining right in my face through a window because of the time of the afternoon, I knew I would have no luck studying, so I was moved without hesitation. I know that switching tables might be a little bar but believe me when I'm telling you that simply doing a job versus doing it with a smile, makes the world of a difference to me. The food was fantastic by the way , I'd be remiss if I didn't gush about the meatballs and the pizza. I have never tried spicy honey chicken before and I'm glad that I chose this spot to do it for the first time. Everything is literally made to order right then, and there and the absolute freshness of the ingredients shows from the first bite to the very last. There seemed to be other people studying there too as well as what looked like groups of 2 to 8 occupying various tables so this establishment lends itself to family or party friendly dinner reservations. read more

It's been a while since I have been here but working in the area decided to stop by for lunch and enjoy the outdoor patio while it is still somewhat doable in the heat! Had great service throughout the meal and enjoyed the ambience on the patio ! Went with a mocktail and the ricotta and peach on toast! It was delicious and had a slight spicy kick which was great! Also tried the Brussels sprout / those were okay but would have preferred them more charred / roasted but still good! Always a great spot in Southtown! read more

Our crew of 8 decided to have pizza late Thursday night , I have to say I almost about to give up because it's so hard to find parking! And it's not even weekend yet. Anyway we got seated, waitress is very nice and most of our drinks came up pretty quick beside mine was a bit behind. We ordered pizza each person, very good selections and some are very "innovative", like Spicy Hawaiian I ordered, pineapples appears to flavored with a hint of spicy sauce and pizza was based with some sort of sweet BBQ source so it's balanced with "spicy". Homemade thin crust was very crispy especially after their famous "wood-fire" baking. My friends ordered different varieties which we also have whole table of pizzas! I wish they offer two sizes (only have 12 inch) because a whole pizza is way too much for late night diner, strongly recommend to share plate! Overall I enjoy the dining environment and service was nice, great place if you crave for wood-fired pizza! read more

It was our first time after spending so much time in south town. we came on a Saturday night at around 7pm, staff very welcoming. they asked if we wanted to sit inside or out which was very nice. we sat outside, we got pasta and the hot honey chicken pizza, everything was so tasty and fresh! we devoured it all. OMG the mango cheesecake literally put me in a trance, it was DELICIOUS. i also got the pink pony cocktail and it was so yummy and boozy. Our waitress was amazing, i feel terrible because i asked for her name and it completely slipped my mind. she had red lipstick on and black hair, she was an absolute GEM! i recommend. read more

I made a recent stop at Stella Public House during their happy hour and have to say, it was worth the visit. We ordered the Let That Mango Toast and the Lamb Meatballs from their small plates menu and Quattro Formaggio Pizza. We also had their cider mimosa and the cherry mule. Both drinks were amazing. The food is good, but not amazing, although I did love their meatballs. Service at Stella is very good and their waitstaff is always attentive. It has been almost empty both of times I have eaten there, but it might be due to time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially for their happy hour and I liked their industrial look. It's a perfect fit for the Blue Star area. read more

Food was excellent--best thin pizza i have ever had--well seasoned, substantial toppings--little skimpy but very tasty! All 4 different pizzas we tried did not disappoint/not good service--had to go inside to ask for a waiter to come take our order after waiting 25 minutes then they messed up on our salad orders and pizza orders where we got 2 salads & 2 pizzas and had to wait another 30 minutes to get 2 additional pizzas --then another 20 minutes to get final 2 missing salads--never got our 2 drinks we ordered--hopefully service improves because we really loved the food and sitting outside on a lovely day--great price for lunch $13.99 for individual pizza plus salad--maple balsamic vinaigrette was very good on salad read more

stella-Visited for happy hour on a Thursday evening and truly enjoyed it! The service is excellent, and our waitress was warm and welcoming. We sat inside at a booth towards the back, and there are a good amount of seating options inside even though the space is rather small.          We had the strawberry chill cocktails on their happy hour, and they were refreshing and sweet! Also had their margarita pizza, which was very tasty. Not too oily and had the perfect ratio of crust to cheese to tomatoes.         Parking is plenty and easy, as there is a lot across from Halcyon. read more

One of my favorite places to go to on Monday's. (All Day Happy Hour) They sadly no longer off the Royale with Cheese but hope they bring it back! One Monday we went, we were waiting a little bit longer than usual in between getting our orders and turns out our server was the manager that night, he said they were short staffed. I work in a clinic and worked in customer service since I was 16 so I'm more than understanding and happy to wait for my food. (Please be nice to businesses, this world is short staffed and being mean won't make your experience better) I love coming here and can't wait for the next time I can come here for my Monday pick me up. read more

This is the best pizza in southtown if not San Antonio. It can be a little pricey but well worth it. Service is great, every time I was there the manager came by to say hello. Inside had the typical dark and cozy pizza bar vibes. If they still have it don't be afraid to try the blackberry pizza! read more

Food was mediocre. Waitress was incompetent and rude. She made a mistake and when she was politely told she made a mistake on the order, she didn't say a word, just yanked the plate away and brought it back later, and it was still wrong. She must have gone to her little manager, because he came and was completely condescending. He didn't charge for one of the meals, only after trying to humiliate us for what we ordered. We've been going here for years. So sad to see it's gone downhill so drastically. Good thing there are plenty of other much better restaurants in the area. read more

Stella is a really good option in Southtown for a date, dinner with friends, or even a night out alone at the bar. Their known for a fairly extensive tap list, modern chic atmosphere, and above all, pizza. Unfortunately, their pizza is their weak spot as it's outdone by other menu options. The best thing on the menu is the lamb meatballs. Even after years their quality has stuck with me. Surprisingly, the more ingredients on the pizza, the weaker the pizza. Stick to the basics like the margherita pizza for the best flavors. The beer list is good as are the drinks and the service. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. Parking is free but will be an absolutely pain especially during lunch or dinner hours. If you can't find parking in the Blue Star parking lot, go half a block east and you'll find plenty of street parking. read more

Nasty food rice had no flavor super oily. I asked for the steak to be rare. I had to pour salt on top to even try to eat it . It was really bad . Disappointed. I was really looking forward to it. Steak Bites, would not come back for food maybe just bar. It's very unfortunate because it's a good study spot, but food is pretty bad . read more

Been to Blue Star area many times and finally went to Stella to enjoy their pizzas. We were in the company of a doggo so we were required to sit outside. Was ok except the fact it was cold outside and our server was nowhere to be found. We were seated and she was going to give us a few minutes to look over the menu, but then she didn't return for a good 15mins, while we were out in the cold, with no warmers anywhere near us, and it was mid-50s. We requested hot tea, to go along with our 2 pizzas. Ended up ordering the Margherita and the Bee Sting pizza. Both were great!! I wish I could say more for the service because his was not it. The food was great, the service wasn't. read more

Great service tonight as we were looking for somewhere low key to chill, and get some work done. We sat at the corner with our laptops and our server was so friendly and attentive. He gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted and went through our options and many questions with patience. They have different daily specials, although today's (Tuesday) was the farmers market pizza, which they ran out of. You can also order from Halcyon which is connected to Stella from the hallway and they had a reverse happy hour starting at 8pm. We ended up getting a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, the wild mushroom Mac and cheese (adding grilled chicken) and the carrot cake with coffee for something sweet. For drinks my friends ordered the sangria which looked beautiful and the Long Island coffee which I had never seen before. read more

Stella Public House is a go-to for many when looking for a place to grab a bite in the Southtown area. They specialize in artisan wood-fired pizzas and all their ingredients are fresh from local farms. I've been here a couple times throughout the years and I feel like my orders have always been a little bit of a hit or miss. I recently visited Stella during lunch time on a weekday and was shocked at how busy the place was. You could definitely tell this is a go-to for many folks that work around the area. We decided to go with two of their pizzas and the brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts came out super quick and it was huge plate you could share with a couple people. I felt like they were a little too sweet for my taste, but my guest loved them. After that, we got our two wood fire pizzas; one had pork and barbecue sauce (totally forgot the name), and they other was a philly cheesesteak pizza. They philly cheesesteak pizza was absolutely delicious and definitely something you can't find anywhere else. The other pizza was (again) too sweet for my taste. I'll definitely be coming back for another of their delicious pizzas! read more

My friends chose this place for our last minute dinner hang, so I had no idea what to expect! Located in the Blue Star Complex, it's conveniently located near the Riverwalk and a bunch of small businesses to explore and snack in. I know there's a good gelato place (South Alamode) and a coffee spot (Halcyon) nearby! Service was excellent! Our server was really friendly and very down to earth. With the service, space, and food, We had a pretty good experience here overrall. Their mushroom Mac is a bit different compared to most mac n cheeses, but I think that's why it stands out! It reminds me a lot of an Alfredo pasta. Pretty good! Their pizzas were good too! For me, the most important thing in a pizza is it's dough, and this one had the right amount of soft yet crunchy! Our favorite of the night was the Bee Sting Pizza, without the prosciutto. It has honey on it, but don't knock it till you try it! A pretty good casual spot if you ask me! read more

Normally I would start with the food.....this time the main shoutout was our server : Leah This young lady gave us a very detailed run down of the menu with a strong emphasis of farm to table items! We started with the Capress Salad then we each ordered a different type of pizza. My husband went with the. Mr SouthTown and I chose the Pig in a Bush Pizza. Incredible dough ....Italian style ... We will return again! read more

I'm not the biggest fan of dimmed-light places, but every once in awhile, it's the perfect ambiance for a date night! We started off with the Wild Mushroom Mac, and it was the perfect shareable size with a hint of the truffle oil in every bite! The Spicy Sausage and Peppers Pizza was delicious, but the peppers could have been more spicy in my opinion -- I'm a fiend for spice and dashed red pepper flakes all over my slices haha. And you can never go wrong with a side salad to compliment the pizza! I'm obsessed with their maple balsamic vinaigrette dressing -- it was the perfect dip with the pizza crust, too! We even asked our waiter for a few containers of the dressing to-go because I was that in love with it haha! I'd definitely come back to try out some of their other pizzas next time (but to also get that maple balsamic vinaigrette again lol). read more

I've been to the Stella Public House, which is a Bistro/Coffee House in one, several times. Typically I've had a good experience here but, not so much this time. My friend ordered the Roasted Chicken Caprese and I, the Mushroom Mac & Cheese. Both of these dishes are perhaps the best on the menu. Other menu options include Crab Cakes, Pecan Salmon and Eggplant (or Chicken) Parmesan. All of which I'm certain will please. The reason why my experience wasn't great this time is: I ordered ahead a second Mushroom Mac & Cheese to-go right up front. My Server told me she'll place the to-go order when we get our meal. No problem, it took a while to get our meal, when we finally did, I confirmed I still wanted the to-go order and wanted to make certain it would be ready when we get our check. Again, NP. When we paid our bill, the Server said she'll be right back with the to-go order. Fifteen minutes later I was told, the order will take another hour to prepare. REALLY?! She refunded the money I paid separately for the to-go since we couldn't wait and had to get back to work which we were already late for. Bottom line, I recommend Stella Public House for a really great unique meal, just don't be in a hurry for it. read more

We have been going to Stella for years. Always a must visit when friends visit us, and we head to Southtown. Today is not about the food. Don't get me wrong it was as good ..... real good. Can't believe I'm saying I liked the fig on the pizza, but I did. This post is about something we often forget to do. Spotlight someone when they are real, pure, kinds and tuned in. I'm speaking of Leah! Just having satisfied customers isn't good enough anymore everyone strides for that. In my opinion the next level is creating memories. Her interaction with us, check off - satisfied customer and a memory, and we will continue to eat at Stella, seldom look around at other local places in walking distance. See ya soon again Leah. No pictures needed! read more

The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, very dark played indie music I enjoyed that. The food, was mediocre definitely not $55 worth. Our server was nice yet put in the wrong pizzas. We waited 30-40 minutes for pizzas when the place was dead. We were on a time limit and she admitted to her mistake and asked if we we're good with that or wanted her to put in the correct pizza and take it to go... no we aren't waiting another 35 minutes more. We still payed for the nasty pizza. I feel, if you have a server make a mistake and you can tell your customers aren't happy you should take it away offer something else or have management approach us. We decided to try this place instead of our go to spot down the street near hemisphere. Big Mistake. read more

Can't believe it took me so long to try Stella's! What a great spot! It's in Blue Star area, tucked behind Halcyon. Kind of a hidden gem! Parking can be tricky so keep that in mind, carpool if possible. The atmosphere was really nice, small spot but we were able to be seated immediately. We had a lovely server and were greeted kindly and quickly at the front of the restaurant. We got the steak bites for an appetizer which came with rice and was kind of an odd appetizer that isn't as shareable as most apps are. I wouldn't get it again, but I've heard good things about firecracker shrimp so want to get that next time! Our pizzas were amazing, you have to get pizza while you're here! Great selection of wine, beer, and cocktails. Will definitely return! read more

My boyfriend and I went last minute to grab a bite to eat and Mari served us. She was an absolute JOY!!!!! It is so refreshing receiving the type of service she provided.

I decided to do lunch. I ordered the Quattro Carne personal pizza with house salad and balsamic vinaigrette. With a starter of the lamb meatballs. The salad was very good. It almost overflowed off the plate. My personal pizza followed. The perfect size for lunch. It had a thin crust, which I love. The meatballs were a little late coming out. I was surprised by the overwhelming chili pepper flakes they contained. It wasn't mentioned in the menu so I was surprised as my mouth gotta hotter with every chew. I don't mind a little spicy but today it was overpowering the enjoyment of the lamb and pork. Steve was my server. He was very nice and fit the aesthetic of the restaurant. read more

Five us had lunch today at Stella Public House. The lunch specials come with a personal pizza or calzone and side salad or a chicken sandwich and salad. First, the salads were generous, and freshly made with choice of dressings. You also had many choices with the pizza selection and the open faced sandwich was incredible! Each slice of bread was toasted, then layered with chicken, thick slice of tomato, then melted mozzarella. So yummy!. read more

My word ! Or maybe lack of....I am speechless. I do not believe I have EVER eaten a pizza as good as this. It is hard for me to say which of the three we ordered was my favorite. The Marguerite pizza is so simple yet amazing. The Quattro Formaggio was a new try and it was fabulous. The tartness of the cheese with a tinge of sweetness was a great combination. Lastly, pigs in a bush. The topping was perfect and by adding prosciutto is a perfect blend. I just can't say enough. The food is spectacular, the atmosphere is quaint and the staff is attentive. Definitely a place to bring family and friends. read more
