Stella Pizza Altona — Restaurant in Melbourne

I am writing this review for a number of important reasons please take the time to read.

Now before I say what I have to say...I am sure Stella's has all ready had so many complements before my review..as they are just so professional at what they provide as a restaurant.

WHY DO I SAY THAT?

Because they would have to be one of the very best, if not the best place to come and dine ....if you would like to go out and experience a vey well organised, quality food and dining experience THEN THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME.

Though I have not yet met the owner "THOUGH I WOULD VERY MUCH LOVE TOO"

I have on different occasions met and spoken to the staff and they have always added to the excellent dining experience.

So Why is my sharing this review so important???

Because, I am currently fighting for my life daily due to a serious heart condition, I have had two major strokes and over 9 mini stroke events and thank God I am still here. My wife is fighting blindness and that is the least of her current health battles. My beautiful daughter Jazzy, is high functioning autistic and is struggling but "WINNING" in her bid to achieve her bachelors of Animation....."SHE IS OUR CHAMPION"

So enough with our personal stuff everyone has their own story .

But what I wanted to say is this ...when you are in the battle of real life challenges, it is so special and important to be able to go out and experience a quality worthwhile night out, to just know that as a family we can reliably enjoy the Stella's experience because they do care and and they offer a quality food dining service.

I have to say the "STELLA'S do stand out above and beyond any experience we have had. Unfortunately especially since coved, a lot of restaurants seem to have lost that personal caring hospitality that is so necessary too enjoy a good family night out.

I hope I am not too over the top, but I am sincere in our appreciation, thank you so much "STELLA'S. I am now looking forward to my wife's birthday night out on the 31 of May in a couple of weeks... See you there Stella's...

Went to Stella’s last night with a friend and as usual it was a great evening with wonderful food, this is much more than a Pizzeria. The menu is quite comprehensive with everything from pizza, steak, chicken Parma, warm chicken salad and much more. It’s also licensed and BYO.

I’d booked a table and was greeted by the ever friendly Elly one the co-managers, The other manager is Brooke who wasn’t working last night. Ross the owner has entrusted both Ellie and Brooke as managers and they run the place like a well oiled machine. I had a small pepperoni which was delicious and friend had the most popular Stella Special which he says is always his favourite and never disappoints. Very attentive staff and the food as usual is fantastic.

I must say that as we were about to leave we were treated to a real surprise. The lovely Elly came to our table and simply said you’re not leaving just yet guys, these are ‘on the house’.

She had two Affogato deserts for us with a shot of Franjelico for us both. . This was otally unprompted and the epitome of good customer relations. Elly knows we love Affogato and it was an absolute lovely gesture.

Stella’s is always a reliable pizzeria and in the fifteen years I’ve been dining there I’ve never been disappointed.

Thank you Stella’s for a great night and again thanks to you Elly for your surprise in the Affogato. Wheelchair and kid friendly and plenty of parking close by.

As you can probably gather we’ll...

My friend and I came here for lunch on a cold and blustery winters day. It was 12.30pm and the lunch hour was just hitting up. There is a lunch special of $10 for a small pizza or pasta with salad - entree size. But we had the main course size of carbonara and a bolognaise. Portion size was big and filling. Stella’s is something of an institution for locals and they have two other restaurants in other suburbs - Caroline Springs and Truganina. One of the lovely moments was watching a senior man come in with a walking stick and looked like he had some other health issues. He was accompanied by what looked like his grandson. They were greeted by a young man (waiter) and they knew each other by name and the waiter graciously escorted them both to a table. That’s what Stella’s is like - it has connection with its customers and that familiarity is warm and generous. There is an upstairs area as well. I’ve come here on weekends at its just crazy busy - quite the ‘go to’ place. Plus they do takeaway so lots of pizza pick ups. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking either out the front or on the...
