Stellina Pizzeria Receives Major Award at International Pizza Competition

Friday December 6, 2024

Late last month Stellina Pizzeria co-owners Antonio Matarazzo and chef Matteo Venini flew to London to be honored at the 2024 World Pizza Summit. The two day event brings together experts, speakers, pizza makers, managers, and other sector professionals from across the globe to discuss topics and trends in the industry and recognize the top pizza makers in the field. We are so proud to announce that Stellina Pizzeria recieved the “One to Watch 2024 Casa Julia Award” and was included on the list of “Top 50 World Artisan Pizza Chains” for 2024!  We extend our warmest congratulations to Antonio, Chef Matteo and the entire team and are honored that they trusted and chose Mount Vernon Triangle for their second of now many locations!

Read the official blurb and check out some photos of Antonio and Chef Matteo from the big night below:

Antonio Matarazzo and Massimo Vannini opened their first Stellina out of their passion for food and Italy. A significant public success led to the replication of this establishment. Clean and essential lines define the group’s venues, where the bar and mixology play an important role in both quality and offerings. The gastronomic proposal includes appetizers, sandwiches, pasta, salads, and above all, pizza. You can start your meal with a rice arancino or an eggplant parmigiana, both well-executed. The pizza is of contemporary style, with a slightly pronounced crust, well-leavened and precisely cooked. For toppings, we recommend the Stellina Pepperoni and the Cacio e Pepe. The beverage selection is of high quality, with an Italian selection. The staff is very friendly and the prices are average for the city, with a decidedly higher quality.
