We had a party of 3 and were seated very quickly by Carol. She made great recommendations! We ended up getting the bruschetta, Hawaiian pizza with hot honey on the side, and ended our dinner with blood orange sorbet, apple pie gelato, and a big piece of cheesecake. The dinner was wonderful and a must try if you are in the area!!!

I absolutely loved it! For someone who hasn’t been to Stella’s before, it was amazing! My grandmother and I both ordered the crescent moon as a croissant and we both ordered a coffee! The girls making the coffee were very sweet and the coffee was delicious! I even ordered another crescent moon to go! I wish I had gotten pictures but it was so good! I even got to talk to the sweet woman that runs Stella’s and she was very sweet and even got us to laugh a couple times! I can’t wait to go back!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for a perfect first experience!

Cute place in the downtown area. Parking was not abundant. Nice ambiance inside and out. Service missed a star because she was unprofessional. I don’t appreciate servers fighting over who gets to serve a table. The food was phenomenal. I had Stella’s favorite sandwich and I will dream about that sandwich with the house made marina. I am sad I live so far away but if I am ever in town again, I will get it again! My husband had the pizza. He said it was good but it was very heavy. We had gelato at the end and it was good. Overall I would return - especially for the sandwich!

As a self-proclaimed pizza aficionado, I've savored my fair share of pies, but none quite like the double pepperoni cheese stuffed crust pizza crafted by Lori. From the moment I laid eyes on this culinary marvel, I knew I was in for a treat.

The first bite was nothing short of a revelation. The rich, tangy tomato sauce danced harmoniously with the savory pepperoni, creating a symphony of flavors that tantalized my taste buds. But the real star of the show was the stuffed crust. With each indulgent bite, I was greeted by a gooey, molten cheese center that elevated the pizza-eating experience to new heights.

Lori's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. The crust was perfectly golden-brown, providing a satisfying crunch that contrasted beautifully with the melty cheese within. Each slice was generously adorned with ample pepperoni, ensuring that every bite was bursting with flavor.

In addition to being a culinary delight, this pizza was a work of art. The carefully arranged toppings and immaculate presentation showcased Lori's passion for her craft. It's clear that she pours her heart and soul into each pizza she creates, and for that, I am truly grateful.

In conclusion, Lori's double pepperoni cheese stuffed crust pizza is a culinary triumph that deserves to be celebrated. If you're in search of the perfect pizza experience, look no further. Thank you, Lori, for sharing your culinary brilliance with the world.

Me and my husband got a personal pizza and a hot sandwich. The food was fantastic. Kinda pricey. We spent about $20 a person. But it was worth it. The decor is a little funky but quaint. The service was phenomenal. Overall great experience.

Passed by this place a few times and never had time to stop in until today. Clean farmhouse meets rustic industrial interior with a large variety of table seating on both the top (*up 2 steps*) and bottom level. Plenty of food options to choose from including pizza, sandwiches, salads, and Gelato. Large open view kitchen area with a brick oven. We ordered the Margarita pizza and cheese bread. Both arrived fast, hot, and fresh. Plenty of melty cheese goodness. Being a dog lover, I love the dog themed decor. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Don't forget to try the hot honey with your pizza. Took the pizza to another level. We'll definitely be back.

Three years ago when I first came to Batesville I went here and wasn’t at all impressed. I decided to give it another chance two weeks ago and it’s great. They have espresso, and beer now (maybe don’t have them at the same time), they have completely remodeled. The sandwich I got was awesome and was actually very large. I’ll be back, give it a shot if you are on the fence!
