Pizzeria Stellina - Jennings Lodge

Really good pie here. In our top 3 of Pizza joints in the Portland area.....and given time might move to #1.

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!
