What is the story behind Stella's Pizza Pie?

Stella's Pizza Pie is a unique wedding caterer serving the San Diego, California area. We know that many of today’s couples have moved away from traditional and predictable catering, choosing instead a novel concept for their special day. Whether your vision is rustic or vintage romantic, Stella’s will excite and satisfy your guests with luscious hot, wood-fired pizza from our mobile oven and a beautiful, traditional Italian buffet that rivals any spread you’ve seen laid out in photos of the Tuscan countryside.

Weddings are our specialty and primary focus. Our Event Manager works hand in hand with you to craft your menu and explore serving options, to ensure that all aspects of our service will be an amazing part of the most important day of your lives.

We begin our service on your wedding day at your cocktail hour with a sumptuous display of appetizers of your choice that may include a succulent Shrimp Scampi, several varieties of wood-fired Bruschetta, fresh Mini Caprese drizzled with a Balsamic glaze, and our spectacular Brie Fantastico -- Brie baked in our wood-fired oven to molten perfection, topped with our signature fig, liquor and pecan spread. We also offer a lavish Charcuterie Display.

Following your cocktail hour, we will create a lavish buffet with our fresh, gourmet pizza straight from our wood-fired oven. Surround it with our delicious salads, pasta dishes and entrees, and you have a feast that your guests will be talking about long after the last dance.

We've been wowing San Diego couples for years with our sumptuous food and excellent service, and would love to be there for you as well.

We love Stella's!

We had the pleasure of having Stella’s Pizza cater our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier! As a family-owned business, they bring such a personal touch. Their team was responsive, punctual, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, especially with guests who had food allergies. The food was delicious, and our guests absolutely loved it! We are so grateful to have had them be part of our special day and would highly recommend them!

The Best Wedding Caterers - We Love Stella's Pizza Pie!!

Choosing Stella's Pizza Pie as the caterer for our wedding was one of the best decisions! We were so grateful for our experience with them from start to finish - even out of the gate, the initial email communication with Amy was so warm and kind. When you're in the middle of planning a wedding and overwhelmed with so many decisions, working with someone like Amy is truly a fresh breath of air - she is the best! We also loved our tasting where we were invited into their home, served all of the BEST apps, pasta, and pizza we could've dreamed of, and we met the wonderful family (including sweet Stella!) behind their amazing business. On the day of our wedding, the team executed things so professionally, efficiently, and deliciously - we heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone about how great the food was (and my husband's father's side is from Italy, and they said it was the best Caesar dressing they've ever had!!). We also had coffee service with our cocktail hour/dinner package and that went seamlessly as well. I would highly recommend working with Amy and the Stella's team as they are phenomenal and really helped make our big day even better and more special and memorable! Thank you again, Stella's Pizza pie!!

Wedding caterer exceeded all expectations

From the very beginning of wedding planning, we knew we wanted to avoid the big catering companies. Our wedding felt like such a personal event and we wanted to work with people who shared that same feeling.

From the very first email, there was just something different about Stella’s Pizza. They’re a small, family-owned business, and you can feel that in every interaction. Coming from a big Italian family myself, I immediately felt right at home. Everything they do has such a personal touch, and they truly treat you like family.

Our tasting was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. They welcomed us into their home, introduced us to the whole “Stella’s” family, and served us so many incredible dishes that narrowing down the menu felt impossible. We even got to meet Stella herself, which made the experience even more special. You can tell these are recipes that have been perfected over generations, and every single thing we tried was absolutely delicious. We may or may not have regretted wearing tight pants to the tasting lol.

Amy was our main point of contact throughout the planning process, and she was incredible. She thought of everything and held our hand through every step. As with any wedding, we had last-minute guest count changes, dietary restrictions, and plenty of random questions along the way. Every single time, Amy and the team handled it with ease, you can tell they have seen it all.

On the wedding day, they somehow managed to serve high quality food to 135+ guests without missing a beat. They also made sure to take care of all the staff and vendors for the day as well. We had so many people tell us it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had, and we’re still hearing about it weeks later.

Amazing food, amazing people, and a business that genuinely cares about the couples they work with. Stella’s Pizza was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we truly can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for incredible food served by people who make you feel like family, this is it.

Please look no further and book now!

When it came to choosing our wedding caterer, we were honestly nervous. We had attended so many weddings where the food was an afterthought, cold potatoes, rubbery meat, and expensive catering that simply didn't live up to the price. We understood the challenge of feeding a large number of guests, but we weren't willing to spend thousands of dollars on food that people would barely remember.

Then we found Stella's Pizza, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

The idea seemed so simple: pizza is delicious whether it's piping hot, warm, or even cooling down a bit, making it the perfect wedding meal. But Stella's took that idea and elevated it far beyond anything we could have imagined. This wasn't generic pizza it was handcrafted, gourmet pizza made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a menu full of unique and creative options that our guests absolutely loved.

One of the coolest parts of the experience was watching them bring their own pizza oven to the venue and cook everything fresh on-site. The aroma alone had our guests excited, and the pizzas coming out of the oven all night were a huge hit. We received countless compliments from friends and family, many of whom told us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had.

What made the experience even more special is that Stella's is family owned. You can truly feel the care, passion, and pride they put into their food and service. Every interaction with their team was warm, professional, and genuinely kind.

They even helped us with our late-night bites, serving fresh French baguettes and butter that our guests happily devoured after a night of celebrating. It was such a thoughtful addition and another example of how they went above and beyond.

If you're looking for wedding catering that people will actually remember and rave about long after the event is over, Stella's Pizza is the answer. They delivered incredible food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

The best caterer!!!

We had Stella’s Pizza cater our wedding and honestly, we’re still getting messages from guests about the food weeks later. Pizza at a wedding might raise a few eyebrows, but the moment people took their first slice, any skepticism went straight out the window.

The quality was just really, really good. Everything tasted fresh and you could tell it wasn’t just churned out — there was proper care behind it. We went back and forth a lot on the catering decision but Stella’s made us feel like we’d nailed it.

The team were also just lovely people. Friendly, relaxed, and they got on with it without us having to worry about a thing — which on your wedding day is exactly what you need.

If you’re thinking about booking them, do it. We’d choose Stella’s again in a heartbeat.

Stella’s Pizza Pie - We Absolutely Love You!!!

I don’t even know where to begin because Stella’s Pizza Pie wasn’t just our wedding caterer, they became one of the reasons our day felt so full of joy, comfort, and love. From our very first conversation, their kindness and genuine care shined through. It felt like we were being taken care of by people who truly wanted our day to be perfect.

On the wedding day, they exceeded every hope I had. The food… absolutely incredible. The most delicious, heart-warming pizza that instantly brings people together. Our guests kept coming up to us all night saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Even our vegan and vegetarian guests felt so seen and included.

But what touched me the most was the team themselves. Their energy was so warm, so positive, so present. They handled everything quietly and flawlessly in the background while we lived out the most important moments of our lives. I could feel that they cared. That means everything to a bride. AND when I asked THEM to dance with ME on the dance floor? They brought on the vibesss!!

October wedding!

Stellas was so amazing!, being able to do a tasting in the comfort of a home made us immediately feel like family and that we were making the best choice! When looking for a catering service we were quoted high from so many vendors in comparison to Stellas they offer bang for your buck with an amazing team and amazing service. the not having to worry about hiring an extra crew for clean up was by far amazing. They were so sweet during the entire process and the food was amazing, every guest raved over the food and I am still craving it after my wedding day! One of my guests loved it so much he ate 4 whole pizzas to himself lol!

BEST decision ever!!

From the very beginning, we knew there was something special about Stella’s Pizza Pie. Our tasting at their home was honestly one of the highlights of our entire wedding planning process. It felt like we were being welcomed into the family. Yes, the food is incredible (the appetizers, salads, pizzas, and desserts are all perfection), but it was the people who truly won us over.

Amy, Vito, Gina, and the whole Stella’s team pour so much care into every part of the experience. They truly care about serving incredible pizza with super fresh, high-quality ingredients and making your special day amazing. On the wedding day, their staff was warm, professional, and made everything seamless. Our guests are still raving about the food (and we’re still dreaming about those pizzas!)

Stella’s Pizza Pie was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough to any SoCal couple looking for catering that feels both delicious and deeply personal.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
