My friend and I went on a Saturday fairly early. We were seated at a large table tucked out of the way. I had a glass of sparkling moscato to start. I ordered 2 appetizers: arancini (large portion that was very tasty) and crocchetona con buffalo mozzarella (a large potato croquette type - delicious and crispy - with prosciutto and arugula - although I don't recall cheese on it!). Tried to look this up on the online menu as I write this, but couldn't find. My friend had PACCHERI ALL' AVELLINESE (Homemade paccheri pasta, beef and veal ragù, parmesan cheese - very similar tasting to Bolognese and yummy). Although we didn't have pizza, what we saw at other tables looked yummy and we're already planning to return. Our server Edgar was very attentive and patient with us. It was relaxed and we felt no pressure to leave as we waited for the right time to leave for the show at Signature. read more

After a movie wanted some Italian and this place had some good reviews and there were lots of people there. Ambiance it's cool spot, nice decor, open Kitchen and you can eat outside if you like. Service Our server was friendly and answered questions about a few dishes. Food Pizza was solid cheese pizza, they are be pricey for such a small size Brussels Sprouts were pretty good the drizzle they used really set it off. Mozzarella sticks were a good size and tasty but the marina sauce that came with it not so much. Eggplant - was kinda mushy and not that flavorful read more

This place has the best Neo-Neapolitan pizza in NOVA! We have been visiting Stellina for years and their pizza has been consistently good -- perfectly airy dough with a crispy crust, light tomato sauce and excellent ingredients that instantly deliver a classic Italian experience! Our favorite ones are Cotto&Funghi and Amatriciana that comes with smoky Guanciale (cured pork cheek). All other food that my husband and I have tried from their menu has been delicious, too! If I am not in a mood for pizza, my second choise is always their classic lasagna. The atmosphere is nice and friendly service makes the dining experience truly special! Even though we live in Tysons, I must say that we prefer Shirlington location over the former one because of the cozier space, amiable servers and overall better service. read more

I would give five star rating just for the happy hour deal price, and the food and drink you get with it! For under $30 you get a mini pizza too sides and a drink. Wow. That's a DEAL! The food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and was helpful when the wine we wanted was not available to make a suggestion. It is a smaller restaurant. I can see the space getting crowded on a weekend evening. No problem getting seating on a Monday night in time for happy hour. Great spot! read more

Solid food. To start, there's plenty of free parking in several nearby parking garages. Service is good, and the setting is casual and comfortable. The selection is pretty decent with options for pasta, pizza, appetizers, and more. My wife and I split the lasagna and a pizza. A decent portion, the flavors of the lasagna were good, although I think the lasagna noodles were slightly overcooked (I prefer a little more al dente). The pepperoni pizza was very good, which enough for leftovers. read more

Rating: 3.5 I'm rounding up to 4 stars, but I'd say Stellina Pizzeria is more like a 3.5 in my experience. We did a little girls night type thing here on a Thursday night and it was pretty quiet at first. But then more people started to roll in. The service was pretty good in the beginning. They came to check in on us as we were waiting on one more person in our party to join us who was running a bit behind. We all ordered drinks, and they were pretty good. A bit on the stronger side. The pizzas all came in and we got to try a bit from each other. Some were better than others. I got the basil/pesto pizza with zucchini. Mine was good but a bit too salty. My friend got Corazziera which was the best pizza at the table in my opinion. Overall, I think I'd skip this place. There are better options. It's not bad by any means, but didn't seem like a must-try. read more

Horrible service. And mediocre pizza not worth the price. The staff displays zero interest in working at this place. The waiter never even brought glasses for us to serve ourselves to the water pitcher on the table. After waiting forever, we gave up and requested to take the pizza home instead of dining there, and saw the already made pizza just sitting on the counter waiting to be delivered to our table. The cashier neglected to care at all that the waiter disappeared and that we never received our drink order, yet she still tried to bill us for the drink. When I reminded that we weren't paying for a drink we never received, the attitude and snark she had was pretty outrageous. Worst Shirlington dining experience Ive ever had. First time visiting this place - never again. read more

Honestly I can't understand why people crowd into gimmicky restaurant in Shirlington (like Palette 22 which is all show, no substance) when Stellina is serving such reliably high quality food and drinks at value prices a half block away. Stellina has really hit its stride. This place was already a reliable choice in Shirlington, but the salads have improved, the pizzas are more consistent, the specials are better, the bar and the service are terrific, and even the desserts are impressive. Plus they've added InKind for payment making them an even better value. There's nothing pretentious or gimmicky here. Just a simple menu of seasonal brick oven Neapolitan pizzas, pastas and salads with exceedingly friendly service in a bright, casual bar setting. Out favorite restaurant in Shirlington. read more

They aren't lying about their gluten free pizza crust, it's phenomenal tender, fluffy, thick enough to hold up to the sauce but bendy enough that you can fold a slice in half. Their menu cover claims top 50 in US and a Michelin recognition it is pretty impressive in an area where gluten free pizza often means frozen brand X. For which you are supposed to be grateful that frozen brand X is even offered. Not here, outstanding pizza crust that you can even dip in sauces (barbecue that comes with the chicken wings (also good). The interior is nicely divided so you can secure a quiet table if it's available. Service is pleasant not rushed but with genuine kindness. Expect families with kids in the restaurant as this is a neighborhood dinner spot. Blue and white plates are clever and I liked the touches of red throughout the restaurant and on the linens. The diary free cheese is pretty good too the right texture and goodness and doesn't taste like shredded paste. Try it. read more

Unbelievably good. This pizza is outstanding. I also loved the bread and fried cheese. Service was very welcoming. I thought the atmosphere was nice also. I ended up sitting outside and it was quite pleasant and we were well taken care of. My friend loved all of her food as well. Easy parking in the garage across the street. I cannot wait to go back. read more

The food was ok. I got the Happy Hour special which was a GREAT deal. It comes with a cocktail, house made chips, one mozzarella stick, one arancini, and a margarita pizza. All for $25. The food is about 3 stars. Nothing wowing, but enjoyable! The happy hour deal is valid on Sundays, so that's was a bonus! Service was fine. The service consistently checked in on the table. He cleaned the plates as we were finished eating, which I appreciated. It's a pretty laid back environment. No bells and whistles. Just a pizza spot that you can easily walk into with the family! We also had the tiramisu cake, and that was pretty tasty. I'm doubt they make it on sight, but that wouldn't stop me from ordering it again. The food 3 stars. Service and price 4 stars. read more

We've done takeout from here a few times and I have to say everything is really fantastic. Even with delivery. The pizzas are fantastic great chew on the crust fresh toppings wonderful flavors. The pasta and entrée dishes are also spectacular. We've really been so happy with everything we've gotten from a flavor, ingredient, and value standpoint this place is top notch. read more

I love Stellina, they make my favorite seafood squid ink pasta in the area. Everything at Stellina is yummy and so reasonably priced. We always get the cuppo misto which includes various fried seafood. If I'm feeling particularly hungry, we'll also get a pizza to share. All of their locations are casual with indoor and outdoor seating. The locations we have been to have indoor and outdoor options and the service is pretty consistent. read more

For the size of pizza you better off getting a Red Barron or Digiorno. The large is a small. Save the $15. They're usually on sale at Harris Teeter. Also received the wrong order and got a pepperoni pizza instead of a Margherita. How do you mess that up. Would not recommend. read more

Visited on a weeknight with no resection. Was quickly greeted and seated at a large four person table near the window (first level). The staff were very prompt with service. We ordered two of the mocktails on the menu - the mojito mocktail was a bit tart and the Rossa fizz was really good (sweet and refreshing). The potato chips were a bit flat/stale. We received a healthy portion of the Brussels sprouts and they were crispy with a hint of sweetness (very good!). The pasta dishes were amazing and filling. And we took home a piece of the cheesecake but they have a good selection of dessert options. Definitely coming back for more pasta and to try the pizza!

The service was excellent. We had reservations on OpenTable, my friend and I, however, they sat us at a table close ish to the door, so I was pretty cold the whole time. My friend didn't mind because she doesn't get cold. I ordered Cacio E Pepe and my friend ordered gnocchi. The food was very good, but it wasn't like home. Run good. I may try it one more time to try the pizza, but I will not order the pasta again. It had too much butter on it for me. Located where cafe pizzaolo once was, it was an open environment. Restrooms are upstairs and the elevator was out of service so go anyone with mobility issues that would be a problem. Portion size was perfect. We split an arugula and fennel salad which was delicious especially the dressing. 4 out of 5 stars and will try again. read more

We went for the first time for the Happy Hour special with a personal pizza, beer or cocktail, arancini and (kind of weirdly) homemade potato chips. It was a lot of delicious food. The shady outdoor seating was the perfect venue for a nice meal. Great service. read more

Walked in and immediately wanted to leave-- should have followed instincts. Totally unenjoyable experience with blaring hispanic music playing as if we were in some Miami night club. It's a small Italian pizza place and I just wanted a nice, quiet lunch. All for some music, but what they had was so out of place and beyond annoying for this authentic "Italian" pizza restaurant. Food was ok, portions large when we were told pizzas were personal size (they are definitely not but she obviously told us that to upsell), and waitress came to take order and drop food only never checked on us even though we were the only people in the restaurant. I won't be back read more

We came to Stellina Pizzeria because their online menu looked great, and the pizza lived up to the hype, so tasty! The service was friendly and helpful. A couple of downsides: the Pizza Bento special listed online wasn't available, and the dining area was chilly since the heat wasn't working. Still, it didn't take away from the food or experience. I'm looking forward to coming back when the menu matches and it's nice and warm. read more

My family really enjoyed having our pasta and pizza as well as some mixed drinks. We came after riding the train in Philadelphia so we appreciated late hours. The staff was very efficient making sure that we had all that we needed and quickly so that we could continue enjoying our meal. read more

I looooved this Pizza! I kept hearing about stellina but for some reasons kept postponing my visit...the I finally ordered from them (so my pizza wasn't super hot when it arrived, but I warmed it on a pan). I am definitely also going to check them out in person, probably in their other location in DC. I had "affumicata" and it was soooo good!! Very rich in terms of flavor, and also a bit heavy, but hey, what can you do, it's pizza after all!!! The dough is just the way I like it, fluffy, yeasty, rich and with that smoky smell I love from wood oven pizza. My aim is to try all of their pizzas (or kind of) because this clearly hit the spot and because the way they combine ingredients is pretty refined and balanced! I can't say anything about ambience and service, but I'll write more about it next time. If quality of food is your main criteria, this is the place! read more

Pizza was great. You have to eat it at while it's still blistering hot. The tomato sauce is so delicious. It's fresh. To me pizza is about dough and tomatoes. I really enjoy both at Stellina. Cannolis were not as fresh as the last time. Shells felt a little old and the filling felt more one dimensional. It felt much plainer and sweeter. I thought I remembered it being lighter possibly with some lemon zest? We got ignored after our food was delivered. It was fine because we were having a good conversation... It was a bit odd, but I still recommend giving this place a try. read more

The prices are very high for the size of the food that you get! However, the food was pretty good. One pizza can be easily split between just a couple people both not eating much to begin with and I know others have mentioned how their pizzas are smaller. I liked the plain simple pizza. The crust was good and doughy. I also tried the cacio e Pepe which was an incredibly small serving for $20 but was delicious! This dish does get oily however after sitting for a bit. I also tried a bite of the chocolate cake which was sooo good - not too heavy and super moist. I would try other pizzas here. read more

The pizza was good but when it came out, it didn't have the toppings on it and I had to add them myself. Kinda weird. Would have preferred all the toppings go into the oven. However, it was fast and the inside was cute. I'd come back but maybe ask for a full cook next time. read more

My lover carried me in here after running a marathon as a reward. It wasn't too busy so we got exceptional service. It was a very nice place with some Halloween skeletons displayed out front.

4 stars for the pizza 0 stars for the other items on the menu. Def don't get anything but pizza here. The Caesar salad was rotten. We had to send it back. The meatballs were hard as rocks and cold. The cacio e pepe was congealed and flavorless and the pasta was undercooked. So super disappointing!! But then the pizza was very good. Super hot and delicious. The crust is perfectly charred and chewy. Very good Neapolitan pizza. Cannoli were a little too sweet. I think with a few tweaks to the rest of the menu and this place could be a 5. read more

We came here for a family dinner on Saturday evening with my parents and our toddler. The vibe was fun and chill on the upper level. We had both food allergies and a vegetarian with dietary restrictions in our party that can make it harder to dine in certain Italian restaurants that make their own pasta in-house with eggs, so we informed our server and he made sure to check every item. I really appreciated how many options there were on the kid's menu, rather than just grilled cheese and fries. Everything we had was excellent, from the service to the food. My parents liked the win rec, and I loved my mezcal cocktail. For appetizers we had the arugula and fennel salad, the Brussels sprouts, and the fried artichokes, which everyone loved. For mains we got the gnocchi, squid ink seafood pasta, and lasagna. We also got two pizzas, including an off-menu vegetarian pizza that our server recommended, and crust had the perfect Neopolitan chew and char. It's an added bonus for us that there are no peanut items on the menu, and the ones with eggs are clearly marked, so we can safely add this to our rotation. read more

I really enjoy Stellina. I've been once in person and ordered delivery a few times. In person, the service was great. Delivery is usually pretty quick, despite it being third party. They also have a fantastic happy hour deal, which is a drink, a small pizza, chips, one arancini, and one mozzarella in carrozza for $20. Additional drinks are $5. You can't beat it. I like their pizza. It's tasty with a nice crust. Love their mozzarella in carrozza. Normally, I wouldn't think much of homemade chips but theirs are really good and crispy. Also, the mozzarella sticks and chips reheat well in a cast iron pan. Recently, I ordered the cacio e pepe, and that was also good, though maybe not maybe not the best I've had, but it definitely hit the spot. The pasta was perfectly cooked. And their Aperol spritz was well done. Stellina is a great option when looking for Italian cuisine and drinks. read more

You won't find a better wood fired artisan pizza place in Arlington VA - I highly recommend the piccante pizza. It's out of this world!! You know what else is out of this world, the Staff, the Chef and the Servers. Everyone is friendly and attentive to the needs of the customer. I've been coming to Stellina Pizzeria in Shirlington for well over a year and every experience is exceptional.

My wife and I are originally from NYC so we are always looking for some good pizza. We saw Stellina on the way to the movie theater in Shirlington. They have a daily happy hour special. We opted for the special. The margherita was prepared well I must say it was not bad. The special also comes with one drink. We really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the server was amazing. He was professional and was always following upnon us. I highly recommend if you are in Shirlington and your looking for some good Italian pizza. read more

I see the great reviews, but I wasn't such a big fan. I went for brunch. I think they have a good priced brunch. It's $35 per person. The whole table must participate to get this offer. I think we ordered the carbonara pizza. My biggest problem with this item is that it tasted very much like leftovers. We also ordered the Smashed potatoes, and the Stellina Toast. Yeah, we had a carb overload. The toast was the one I really like. I do like that they bring a bottle of champagne and OJ, and you can make your mimosas to taste. I would still probably try them again but not for brunch. 3-ish stars. read more
