  This is EXACTLY the type of place you expect to get an amazing slice of pizza or in our case an awesome cheese steak. It's a mom & pop shop that has been around over 30 yrs, no frills, no soda machine and.....dare I say it......the owner serves you in REAL ceramic plates! ::gasps::
  
  I came for a quick bite, having heard from locals that the pizza here is good, and as I walked, 2 giant sandwiches passed right under my nose which made me salivate for more carbs than I originally anticipated.
  
  I ordered a cheese steak that and my fiance (and Philly native) who never walks away from the word "cheese steak" changed his mind from a slice to a meatier option as well. The guy behind the counter advised us to pay $1.50 more for a Large to split so we did. We waited a few minutes and this MASSIVE cheese steak came steaming out of the kitchen! The bread was so delicious and fresh, that I would've eaten that alone, but thankfully it was filled with nice amounts of meat, peppers, onions and mushrooms. We each had halves and were stuffed!
  
  Then as we went over to pay the gentleman behind the counter (clearly family) got into some small talk with us that led us to sharing stories about past trips to Italy and speaking real Italian. Needless to say, I left feeling like I had come to Stella's my entire life and will definitely be returning.

  First time ordering from here and let me say I'm not impressed. I order the buffalo chicken cheesesteak. When opening my cheesesteak I noticed the hot sauce leaking out of the foil, well when I opened it entirely I noticed there was hot sauce all over soaking the bread and making it soggy. I'm not very picky person but I'm one thing I hate is soggy bread. Gross. This was honestly a waste of money, never ordering from here again!

  Stella's Pizza has been at this location on Scotch Road for more than 30 years, but this was my first visit.  
  
  The impression is of an old style pizzeria with a side dining area.  When I arrived for a late lunch, Stella herself was sitting there having lunch and chatting with a customer.  I ordered an Eggplant Parm sandwich after seeing another sandwich order come out of the kitchen on a great looking torpedo roll.  It arrived at my table a few minutes later, nicely toasted and so inviting.  The bread comes from Italian Peoples' Bakery, and has that signature crispy crunch that is the beginning of a satisfying meal.  The eggplant was thin sliced, finely breaded and pan fried with minimal oil residue.  The tomato sauce was lightly salty, adding to the very positive overall experience.  All good.
  
  While the facility could use an updating, the quality of the food is very good, and the prices a throwback to about 1990.  $6.50 for a 9" hot hoagie sandwich seems like an incredible deal, especially given the quality of the product.  It is easy to enjoy stepping back in time to an earlier day when a family operated restaurant meant the family was everywhere in the shop; cooking, cleaning, hosting, and just hanging out on breaks to talk with people.  I love the coziness that creates.  
  
  None of this would work if the food was not good, but it is.  So, it will be easy to return to try the other offerings, especially the pizza, and learn more about Stella, her family, and the history of a typical old fashioned family resto.

  For the price...it's hard to beat. 9" Italian sub for $4.50. Nice fresh bread and cold cuts are so much better than you would get at Subway. The people are really nice at Stella too. Think we talked to three different members of the family while we there. All were super nice. Easy to find cheap eats, hard to find good cheap eats. Stella fits the bill.
