AI summary of what 10 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about Pizza Stella's burrata, praising its creamy richness as the standout dish. The overall vibe is warm and indulgent, with simple, high-quality ingredients stealing the spotlight.
“I usually don't like burrata on things because it feels like food porn, used excessively. But here there are just two small rounds of burrata, so it changes everything. I didn't want to get it, but the guy recommended it as one of their best-selling slices. It's a pleasant surprise — the burrata is for seasoning, not the main element. It's very good. The dough is good, the cooking is perfect. Nothing to say.”
“The Burrata pizza is very delicate — it has a red base, no other cheese except the burrata and a sprinkle of parmesan. It's fresh, creamy, and super good. This one feels more Italian than American. It might be my favorite for the taste.”

Stella offers a delightful take on American-style pizza slices in Milan.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza Margherita
I start with the Margherita, the simplest one. I expected it to be soggier, but it has a good crunchy base. It doesn't drip excessively. It's good, not bad at all. The dough is really nice.
Salamino
This is a must for American slice — salami. Usually a slice like this would be dripping with oil, but here it doesn't have that effect. The salami is spicy just right. Thanks to the flour choice, good dough, care in making it, top ingredients, and EVO oil that they don't have in America, this is the best salami slice I've ever eaten. I'm really enjoying it.
Culatello
This one has a white base with a lot of cheese, so it got soggier than the Margherita. The culatello is excellent, really excellent — almost wasted on top of a pizza. It's good. Well cooked.
Burrata
I usually don't like burrata on things because it feels like food porn, used excessively. But here there are just two small rounds of burrata, so it changes everything. I didn't want to get it, but the guy recommended it as one of their best-selling slices. It's a pleasant surprise — the burrata is for seasoning, not the main element. It's very good. The dough is good, the cooking is perfect. Nothing to say.
Salamino (seconda prova)
This is a must for American slice — salami. Usually a slice like this would be dripping with oil, but here it doesn't have that effect. The salami is spicy just right. Thanks to the flour choice, good dough, care in making it, top ingredients, and EVO oil that they don't have in America, this is the best salami slice I've ever eaten. I'm really enjoying it.
Pizza Stella is the closest thing to a real New York slice in Milan — the salamino with hot honey is transcendent, the vibe is perfect, and the prices are very reasonable. It's one of the best pizzerias in Milan.
Dishes mentioned
Margherita
The Margherita is very New York — it has that burnt edge on the mozzarella, a crunchy base from the convection oven, and it's oily. It immediately reminded me of Industry Pizzeria in Brooklyn. It's really good.
Salamino con Hot Honey
This is incredible. The spicy salami with hot honey is a transcendent combination — you taste the spice, the salami, and the sweetness. It's perfectly balanced. This is probably the best slice of the night, and one of the best pizzas in Milan. I'd eat this every day.
Burrata
The Burrata pizza is very delicate — it has a red base, no other cheese except the burrata and a sprinkle of parmesan. It's fresh, creamy, and super good. This one feels more Italian than American. It might be my favorite for the taste.
Pizza del Giorno (Zucchine, Maionese alle Erbe, Burratina)
The daily special with zucchini, herb mayonnaise, and burratina is much more vegetable-forward and fresh than I expected. The herb sauce is amazing — it gives a fresh punch. It's very creamy and enveloping. Really good.
Arrabbiata
The Arrabbiata has a red base, herb sauce, and tons of chili flakes and oregano. It's not very spicy actually, but the green sauce is a hit — it's full of parsley and very flavorful. It's good, but not the best of the night.
