Cozy but loud. Great crust, delicious toppings on the pie. The 3 way focaccia and a brew was the way to go while waiting on the pie.

For a place without a wood-fire oven, they make a decent margherita pizza and I was pleasantly surprised. Salad was also good and my fiancée really loved the ambiance inside. Nice local spot.

Stood for 10 minutes and wasn’t greeted. Servers actively avoided making eye contact. We were the only ones waiting and multiple tables were clean and open. Finally asked us if we signed ourselves onto the waitlist which we did (still didn’t welcome us). They must have had a busy kitchen which is fine but just say that “hey guys thanks our kitchen is slammed it’ll be a 20 minute wait before we can seat you”. Waited another 10 minutes with no further updates and now half the tables open. A guy came in for a pickup order and was seated at the bar and asked if he wanted something to drink while he waited. We received no such offer. We ultimately had to leave - many better pizza places available at better prices elsewhere.

A true gem of Sellwood, Pizzeria Stellina never disappoints. Everything on the menu delights - the type of food you know is made by people who truly care about their craft and put the time and ingredients into everything that comes out of this warm neighborhood establishment. The staff always makes you feel like you are in the right place at the right time. Come here to celebrate life, to escape life, or just to satisfy a craving for a great pie. Stellina is the type of establishment that if you ever lose, you'll always miss it in your gut and maybe more importantly, in your heart.

I met the love of my life on a first date at Stellina. The food was so good, she gave me a second date!

Picked up a Principessa(Prosciutto, fresh mozz, basil, tomato sauce) pie from here last night, and was really impressed. How impressed? I planned to eat half... but I ate it all... in one sitting... by myself. Such sweet gluttony inducing pizza! Overall the ingredients were perfect & high quality. But what impressed me most was the crust. It was thin, with a nice crunch on the bottom, but still soft textured sour dough flavors in between. And yes... I ate all the crust too.Super friendly staff as well. And the atmosphere inside was super cozy and inviting. My only complaint is they often won't take takeout orders on Fri/Sat nights. Maybe not enough oven space?Overall, from my first impression it deserves to be right up there with Ken's, Apizza Scholls, Lovelys. And I'm lucky enough to have it in my favorite hood of Sellwood.

Came from out of town to visit my daughter and took a large group out to dinner. Pizzas, salads, appetizers were all fantastic. Vegan diner was very happy too. Just solid. Highly recommended.Dietary restrictions: One member of the party with nut allergies and vegan. He loved the vegan pizza and had a great meal.

Great salad, pizza, and affogato! My husband and I have been here many times and love it! We've always had good service and enjoy the food. We've had numerous different pizzas, and it would be hard to pick our favorite. Hope you enjoy it too!

This place has changed hands a few times since we lived here. Previously, it was PieVino which had better food and selection but was hit or miss during the pandemic. Most recently it is "Pizzeria Stellina" which we had high hopes about originally. We came here when it opened in its first week and have been back at least a dozen times.Tonight was a weird experience. We ordered a wedge salad and two pizzas. The wedge salad came out smaller than usual and with wilted brown lettuce. The first pizza out was the margarita, which was burnt and inedible. The second out was the Pera and it was fine. The waiter came by and asked how the pizza was, in which I responded "ok, but a little more burnt than usual". He preceded to get the owner who accosted us about the pizza stating that it "was supposed to be that way [burnt to a crisp]". I said it was fine but they insisted on remaking it for us. We took pictures of several other non-burnt Margherita pizzas which came out while we were waiting. When we asked for them to box everything for us to go because it was getting late, they got even more defensive with us and comp'd our meal. I'm used to Nostrana, a similar concept, where they will refire your pizza no questions asked let alone have defensiveness about it. They wouldn't even let us pay for our drinks when they did bring out the food. It was nice they comp'd our meal but it did feel unnecessarily contentious. They remade the pizza which was excellent - I just hope the owner didn't spit in it after being so angry with us! In this business it's important to have humility and customer service. All in all giving it a 3 stars because early on it was a good concept and I'm hoping this was just an off night.

Tonight, my family of 3 went (attempted to go) to this establishment. We put our name on a sheet and stood just outside the door (hovering and checking in regularly for FORTY FIVE minutes. There were 2-4 tables available on the patio the entire time we waited. At no time did any of the servers acknowledge our existence. Offer to seat us. Offer water or a glass of wine or a cocktail. OR EVEN OFFER A MENU TO BROWSE. The interior of the restaurant was also empty (save for one table). I'm astonished by the abhorrent lack of service. Meanwhile they were continuing to take to-go orders by phone. At 46 minutes, we crossed our name off and walked away and went down the street and enjoyed a lovely dinner. It's a bummer. We live in the neighborhood and are never again going to patronize this place. I get that staffing is hard--but graciousness isn't.

We love this place and are so lucky to have it in our hood! Stellar pizza pie featuring a crisp, light and sturdy crust with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. Lovely and thoughtful salads. Inventive cocktails including negroni and margarita slushies and be sure to save room for dessert, the soft serve is a delight!
