I stop by here once in a while and the pizza is good. I just stopped by 15 minutes ago and they told me the price of a plain slice in cash is 5.17. I had five cash on me and I’ve been here several times before. The price for a slice is around 3.50, but it was clear that they just didn’t want to deal with any new customers. This was 1:15 AM on a thursday. I think the managers should consider hiring new late night workers. The guy there clearly just wanted customers to leave him alone.

The guy behind the counter was beyond stoic — no “thank you,” no “you’re welcome,” not even a “goodbye.” Just pointed at the credit card terminal when I asked for the total.
But honestly, none of that mattered.
This is classic, no-frills New York pizza: delicious, straightforward, and surprisingly affordable for the Chelsea area. I’ll definitely be back.

Well, this place is not going to attract a bunch of influencers or professional pizza rankers….but it should. It’s a small place, and like all iconic pizzerias, you stand while you enjoy your slice. You could miss it passing by and if you walk in you might judge it as nothing special, but you would be SO SO wrong.
For context, I consider pizza wagon in bay ridge and joes in the village to be solid NY slices. Stellas is my number one spot for a classic NY slice hands down. The pizza is always super crispy, keeps it shape, the sauce is flavorful but not overly sweet or acidic, and the cheese is what you want in a no frills classic slice.

Honestly can’t stop thinking about their square slices. To die for. The crunch and the flavor. I’m obsessed.

Hostile staff, asked for 2 different slices and he only got 1 and did a bad face when I asked for the second one. Since we walked in had a bad face and was looking at us in a hostile way. Maybe he was having a bad day but the service today was really 0/10.
The space is cute and the atmosphere is a good vibe besides the bad service.

Chelsea pizza place with parmigiana hero’s and delish garlic knots. Sicilian, pepperoni mush – it’s all in the gravy. Cosy establishment with a counter if you want to eat in. Very friendly and attentive team near Chelsea Market.

Too thick for ny pizza and not crispy. They don’t advertise their prices bc everything is $1-2 more than Gotham on 19th. Take too long to take your order. Charge tax on cash. Only thing good about this place vs others nearby is they are open till 5 (allegedly).

Solid pizza in Chelsea. My grandmother was named Stella. So this place is probably named after my grandma.

Pizza was good and so was the garlic knots. Just sucks that they charge .75 cents more for every food item after midnight. It’s always crowed in there too. No place to sit and eat. Plain cheese slice is $3 or $3.75 after midnight. Garlic knots are $3.75 after midnight as well.
