I have been loving exploring restaurants around the Montgomery County. Driving to D.C. and spending 30 minutes looking for parking or spending $30 for parking - neither sound like an ideal options. That's why 9 out of 10 times, husband and I choose to stay within a reasonable driving distance.
But the reason I love going here frequently is for their pizzas. stella barra is a creative pizzeria, with two, regular and roman-thin crusts, both of which are delicious. I would recommend the avocado and arugula pesto white pizza.
stella's features a scratch kitchen with locally sourced ingredients. They are also very accommodating to any special dietary requirements (vegetarian in my case). In addition I really love the vibe of the place.
Yumm! Any dish, even one as pedestrian as pizza, can be exciting if approached creatively. This place looks great. I'll try it on my next motorcycle trip through your area.
ReplyDeleteI will join you :D
DeleteI lived in DC for seven years and still have friends in this area. Will DEF have to remember this for when I go back and visit. I hear ya on the city parking drama. If you can find great restaurants just outside the city, even better!

Would you consider this place a mom-and-pop or a hole in the wall type restaurant? I ask because those always seem to have the absolute best food!

ReplyDeleteThe pictures! This doesn't look like any "pizza place" I've ever been to. Wish we had something like it in Louisville.
ReplyDeleteWe are HUGE pizza eaters. I can see why this is your go-to pizzeria. But omg let's talk about that pie!!! Yummmm
ReplyDeleteThe salads are the ones that caught my attention, i guess because of the bright colours. I like my pizza thin-crust too, so it's something I will enjoy~

That looks like a great spot for brunch! You had me at $3 dollar mimosas! I love checking out different spots for brunch, and when I find a favorite I tend to stick with it. This place definitely aligns with my favorite criteria.
ReplyDelete$3 mimosas! What??! I love finding a great brunch spot. This sounds really good!
