Mercato Stellina Pizzeria in Bellevue - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a great restaurant, the owner really has a great taste for wines and the pizza’s were delicious. Definitely recommend this cute restaurant when you’re visiting Bellevue.

Come here for very good Italian food (specifically only pizzas, antipasti and pastas) / energetic vibe if you are party of 2-4 people. Food is 5/5 every time!! The menu changes so it’s exciting and worth multiple visits to try different things. They have some vegetarian options. Our favorite is the Speck pizza (sometimes they run out so order it ASAP), the meatballs, and trying a new pasta. Service can be a bit slow during busy hours but they are doing their best with a small space! The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. It is a small and intimate space so it does get quite loud if busy but the vibe is energetic and casual. Regarding the furniture it’s small tables and wicker chairs but they do have some seating outside in the summer. It’s fun to watch them make the pizzas in the small kitchen if you’re seated at the bar. With that said I’d recommend bringing 4 people max here for both inside and outside.

Excellent place to have a good dinner 🍽 everything was DELICIOUS 😋

The salad was good but the pizza was OK! Staff are nice.

Some of the best pizza I've had, (why) because they do all the simple things right. This pizza is the epitome of high quality ingredients and knowing how to bring them all together.

Came from out of town for a conference and could not recommend more! Excellent authentic Italian food and excellent service! My favorite restaurant in Bellevue!

This is our favorite restaurant in Bellevue! The food is always perfectly cooked with great flavors. The pizza is perfect and they import most of their ingredients from Italy.. so great! The service has always been outstanding. The people, the vibe and the environment is the best. We go as much as we can!

Best pizza I have ever had (fungi pizza). Emily is a super friendly server and we had a great experience Thank you!!!

We highly recommend this place if your are looking for a great atmosphere, service and great pizza. Lived in Italy for about 5 years and this place brings back fond memories.

We love this place! Its our new favorite. We ordered olives and almond and it's absolutely a must, we also had the pesto pasta, green salad and the pizza with parmesan. Everything was super delicious

Margarita pizza was just ok. Prosciutto pizza was way better. Pizza dough was on point but it was way too small. Salad was mediocre at best. Perhaps it’s the location, but the pricing is on the high end. I placed a take-out order and it was not really worth it for the price we paid.

great pizza and pasta with top notch service. Only wish was if the place was bigger and had larger tables.

We have been going here for years and it is consistently great! The best pizza, and now they have excellent pasta dishes as well, quality salads, wonderful wines at reasonable prices, and a great host! We highly recommend Mercato Stellina!

One of the best italian Pizzas and Pastas I've ever had. People were so friendly and treated us with complimentary drinks since it took some time to get the table ready. The pesto pasta was the best of the night, followed by pomodoro pizza which everyone in the group loved! Service was excellent and the location is very lively. I only wished that they had a slightly bigger space for even more spacious seating but that's just me nit picking. Overall, a must must try for their Pizzas and Pastas!

We visited on a late Friday night and it was not a very busy time. Still, (1) waited 40 mins for two pizza, (2) no water until asked. The mushroom pizza had so much dough not covered with anything that I felt like eating bread half of the time. Mushroom is of good quality but quite blend and doesn’t stick to the pizza dough at all. You are essentially eating some blend mushroom stir fry and some bread/dough on the side. I don’t get how this is so highly rated. Neither the price nor the flavor could beat other nearby places such as Sparks pizza. Very disappointed visit.

Bestttttt place ever ! The food was incredible ! The atmosphere there is super chill. Nice please to go with your family, friends or couples. Highly recommended

We’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed it, but it’s worth noting that coming without a reservation is pointless. They do have a waitlist but expect waiting 2+ hours on it with no clear time estimate. They continue to allow reservations to be remade after last minute cancellations occur without moving up any parties on their current waitlist. I’m sure this works for many restaurants, but a customer can’t predict the general movement of a waitlist like a restaurant should be able to. Upon asking the staff for an update, one employee was very short with us, likely busy and overwhelmed. Another tried to explain their workflow, but after quoting us an extra 40 minutes (on top of the 2+ hours we waited for), we decided to seek food elsewhere, only to be called back 5 minutes later after we had driven away. As good as I recall the food, it’s hard to turn around for a place that leaves you feeling unwelcome. Long story short- good food, questionable service, don’t come without a reservation

Their Pomodoro pizza was delicious!!! We will definitely visit again! :) Edit: visited again and tried Funghi pizza and the burrata. Both were delicious as always.

Great food and wine selection. We did a private party here and had the entire restaurant for a birthday party. Fun atmosphere. The service was amazing.

Great food (pizza dough and pasta is fresh) amazing service, casual but really nice atmosphere.

Such delicious pizza. Amazingly crispy and great toppinga too. Love th3 cheese and the tomato sauce. Try 4 seasons and the pistachio pizzas.

Just what anyone would want after a day of travel: solid cocktail, superlative pizza, a good glass of Nebbiolo, music that makes you forget about your worries, and people who care that you have a good meal on a Wednesday at 8pm. Grazie mille, Mercato Stellina!

We absolutely love this place! The PASTA particularly was amazing. The lamb bolognese in tomato and cream sauce kept us thinking about it for days. Tiny place, limited reservations but a very European type of small neighborly ambiance. Higher end of price for pasta and pizza, but well worth it!.

By far the best neapolitan (Napoli style) pizza in Seattle area. Pomodoro was magnificent. Very cozy and awesome nebbiolo.

This is one of my favorite little gems in Bellevue. A small, intimate Italian eatery that is perfectly placed in the middle of a bustling town, that does a tremendous job serving clientele with high expectations across all dimensions of what a restaurant experience should be. Drew and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the food and wine they serve and are just some of the best human beings on the planet to converse with. Highly recommended!

Always our go to for good food in Bellevue! The pizza is to die for and the appetizers always change during the season which is so nice! Service is just amazing as the food!

This tiny restaurant in old Bellevue serves the best wood fired pizza we’ve eaten anywhere. Every ingredient Drew sources is delicious and of high quality. Try the charcuterie plate and/or the burrata with honey. Even the house wine is carefully picked and chosen for value/quality to complement the food. Highly recommend a reservation.

Truely some of the best food I have ever had. Amazing flavors

Fantastic food, fabulous ambience, friendly staff. Five stars!

We live in Cap Hill in Seattle and drive across the bridge for the most amazing pizza, salads, wine and tiramisu! It is the perfect ambience in the winter - cozy and warm - and equally perfect in the summer - sunny and bright!

Wonderful little spot in Bellevue! Great food cute atmosphere and very friendly service!

Favorite neighborhood restaurant. Small and cozy with indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent salads, pizzas, and pasta. All house made, delicious!

I really enjoyed my experience here! The team was very lovely and the service was top notch! The pizza was good especially for the Seattle area. I ordered the Margherita pizza and found it to be the perfect size for one person. The pizzas are made hot to order! I would recommend trying this pizzeria if you are in town.

Staff were friendly and fun! Pizzas tasty but I loved the salad the most.

Food was tasty and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will be returning.

Perfect food, service and atmosphere all together. Reserve the table in advance and you’ll love it 🥰 Pizza, desserts, vine and beer - don’t miss to come, really!

Cozy place for amazing Pizza and a glass of wine (love there wine list $

Small restaurant with great pizza and drinks. Family friendly spot. Can get very crowded. Casual restaurant

Great food, but not great service

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had!!

The pizza here is top notch. The crust is nicely charred but not burnt, and it has a good chew. All of the toppings are fresh and flavorful. A bit pricey but not horrible for Bellevue, and more worth the money than other inferior pizza places. The gluten free crust was one of the better ones I’ve tried as well.

I could say it was the best pizza I ever tasted. The service was stunning. Definitely, I will come back again.

Truly exceptional. Great service and absolutely delicious food!

Great food, friendly service and relaxing atmosphere!

Amazing place! Food, cocktails and ambience is great for date night or family night out.

It took 1.5 hours for them to cook two pizzas and the restaurant was only half full. They said it was because they only have one oven to cook pizzas even though it's a pizza restaurant. I would not recommend if you have kids because or kid was definitely cranky after waiting. Pizza was OK.

One of the best if not the best pizza restaurant in the greater Seattle area. This place is smaller but that honestly just takes the experience to a much higher level and creates a more intimate time. The owner and his staff are so friendly and attentive, they make you feel like you are a part of the familia. This place is a gem in the Bellevue area and if you have yet to visit, you must make the visit. Ingredients taste so fresh and doesnt leave you feeling heavy and greasy like other pizzas. Drinks are great and so are the pastas and appetizers.

Took my mom to Mercato’s for her birthday. My reservation began on time, and the staff was very attentive. The appetizer with the jam was the winner of the night, along with the lemon cream dessert.

Good pizza. A little on the small side for the price, but you're also paying for the surrounding area. I would eat here again.

Great restaurant, ordered the pasta and it was awesome. Came without a reservation while they were busy and were still seated in less than 15 mins.

Always great food and very welcoming face. The owner remembers his repeated clients and always make sure you are satisfied.

Really good pizza and dessert! Great place for date night!

Great food and nice service. Call and reserve your table; we walked in without a reservation and had to wait for 50 minutes.

My favorite restaurant in Bellevue. Great food and fantastic service!

After a week of terrible service in Bellevue - Joey, Castilla, Cactus we ended up having dinner at this little gem of a restaurant. SERVICE to the enth degree! Not sure if our server was the owner or the manager, but he engaged with us, found out I was from Toronto and put on the Raptors game for me! Made some great recommendations and alterations to our dinners so we had a fabulous meal. I had the gluten free pizza, pesto, calabrian chili and well done, it was the best meal of the week. The area is really cute and quaint and our first visit to the Greater Seattle area ended on a great note! This is a must visit establishment when in Bellevue.

Great food, owner is very nice and chatty. Small restaurant so call ahead for a reservation or enjoy the bar area. Going back next time I'm in the area.

Great atmosphere, even better food, & the best staff! We arrived around 7pm on a Thursday night without a reservation and chose to sit at the bar with no wait. Ordered a Burrata (house made fig jam, burrata, honey, sea salt, crostini) and Funghi (white pizza, taleggio, mushroom, sage, truffle oil). The pizza’s are prepared right behind the bar seating so we could see all the delicious cooking and the kitchen staff told us about the ingredients as he was slicing prosciutto. Burrata was great, good balance of sweet and salty. One of the staff kindly offered us a booth that had opened up and we happily accepted. The Funghi pizza was then served. Rectangular shaped and a bit smaller than a large size round pizza, just enough for the two of us after having enjoyed the burrata. The dough was very airy and delicious even by itself; the pizza was amazing and the mushroom tasted very fresh. We saved some of the crust and asked for the honey to dip it in as a desert. Several other customers were dressed semi-formal to formal but we felt comfortable in our more laid back outfit choices. Price is on the $$ to $$$ side but makes sense given the experience! The staff and service was exceptional.

Food is amazing! The two gentleman working tonight were very nice and easy to chat with and definitely eye candy :)

Margherita and quattro formaggi pizzas were truly excellent. The dough had this special chewiness that is hard to get at other pizza places. Pizza sizes are small, I'd say one per person and it's not cheap. Outstanding overall, I believe the claim that is the best pizza in town. Service and vibe were also excellent, would recommend.

Here with my mom and son right now. Not what I expected but the staff went out of their way to take care of us. Great place.

My favorite pizza in Bellevue and such a nice, cozy restaurant, feels like you are at home, plus the staff is soo nice.

The food was good, definitely had the Bellevue prices for average food and service.

Tiny place, so make a reservation! It's worth it. Have a 3-course meal. Burratta with jam and honey comb was a winner.

My friend and I both ordered the 'rabbit ragu with pappardelle' which was Drew's special entree last night. It was fabulous!! Always enjoy patronizing a local establishment.

Awesome pizzas and nice vibe! Drew is a great host.

We walked in without a reservation and they made a plan thankfully. What a beautiful, cozy restaurant! The wine display was class. Service was very attentive and they made a point of being friendly to my son, he really enjoyed the experience. Food was timely and delicious. Great evening out, thank you!

Everything about this place is so average. Pizza was fine, not horrible, but definitely nowhere close to even the bottom of good pizzas we’ve had. Salad was huge pieces of lettuce that no one bothered to even cut up. Would probably have given 3 starts, but then add incredibly overpriced for what it is, down to 2 stars.

Reservations recommended on the weekend.

Friendly staff, place had a chill vibe. Will go again.

Fun atmosphere with tasty food and drinks. Outdoor seating is great on a nice day.

Great vibe and atmosphere. Good, very affordable pizzas and wine. The 2 guys always there ( presume managers/servers ) are awesome 👌

This place, their food and their staff are amazing. I took my wife and friends here after a competition, Drew and Celeste went out of their way to accommodate our crowd. Everyone one in our group agreed this was the best pizza we have ever had. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy excellent food, suburb service and a beautifully quaint spot for dinner. Thank you Celeste and Drew!!

The food is so delicious here! The pizza and the service is beyond I expected. Moderately priced for the food you get. I have traveled from east coast to third coast to west coast and the pizza is definitely on point. I will definitely be coming back again and again .

Pizza crust too tough. The pizza (pie portion) was pricey at $20 compared to similar places I have had Neapolitan pizza. The Four Season was inedible due to the huge amount of salt in it. Replying to query: I ordered for delivery service July 27. Last Wednesday.

Great pizza and service. Nice place

Great wood fired pizza! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Wonderful service! Food was pretty good, especially their special pizza that had a nice kick to it.

A lovely little place, I would come back here for pizza, the dessert and the ambiance! We ordered the Primavera, Pomodoro, Funghi, and Stinging Nettles pizzas that night. The Pomodoro was by far the best pizza, we would recommend that again! It has a lovely garlic flavor with just the right amount of cheese and sauce, and is a great vegetarian choice. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, chocolate tart and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was rich and creamy, the chocolate tart was decadent without being too overpowering, and the gelato had a light nutty flavor.

Nice little place with its own vibe. Pizza is delicious, very close to the one you can get somewhere in Europe

Cute little place for pizza. The staff is friendly and attentive, although they didn't hear our table mate's request for a drink refill. :( The charcuterie board and pizzas were delicious 😋 The tables are small for a group of four.

Fantastic pizza. Very good dough. Nice tomato sauce, smooth and not acidic. High quality ingredients. Great service too. First time here today but will be coming back.

At the end of the Main street is this amazing pizza place. I'll highly recommend this restaurant for pizza and their wine collection. The staff there is friendly too.

Intimate experience with Great food , amazing waitress/waiter and kitchen staff. Thank you friends!

Cozy atmosphere, great service and tasty pizza.

Mercato Stellina makes the best pizza in Bellevue!! Check out the wine list. It’s phenomenal too, and full of gems!

The pizza here is delicious! We got the Pomodoro (which is my favorite) and the Funghi and they were so good. We had to sit outside because it was full and the patio is super cute but does get pretty chilly at night so dress warmly. Drinks are really tasty too!

We visited this place couple of days ago and the food were delish. The place is simple and small but it's the quality of food that matters as well as the great customer service.

What a gem of a find. The pizza was really good but on the high end for price. The tiramisu was pretty incredible and probably some of the best I have had. We talked with the waiter and thr store manager for a while they were both really friendly and gave us a few recommendations for what to check out in the area.

Marvelous pizza in an intimate, candlelit setting. Service was outstanding too. Am excited to return and try the rest of the menu. Would definitely recommend Mercato Stellina!

Best pizza in all of Seattle area! I get the meatballs and salami piccante every time. Drew and John always provide the best service and make you feel like family. Don’t forget to get a affagato desert (the gelato is amazing). Seriously there isn’t a better spot to eat in all of Bellevue!

By far the best Pizza place. Great Neapolitan pizza with amazing service. John and Drew always make you feel at home. Recommend the salsiccia or salami piccante for a great pizza! Don’t forget the wine either, they have a great Italian wine selection.

Really good pizza. My gf gave it 4 stars tho. I would give 4.5 stars if I could - I wish the portion was bigger. Expensive as expected for a fancy place.

Pretty amazing experience. Food was great and the service was next level.

The best, the friendliest Italian in Bellevue.

Lucky to find this spot on a whim with my girlfriends. Delicious food with great atmosphere and personable people. Highly recommend!

AMAZING PIZZA. BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA AROUND.

Delicious prosciutto pizza, burrata salad, craft beer & wine. Loved our meal here . Highly recommend ❤️

I really like this place, but advance planning/reservations are a must. The food is amazing, the location is fantastic and they pay their workers an ethical wage.

Incredible pizza. Our new favorite.

Cozy little place. Nothing stood out too crazy, though. Very small menu! How do they afford to stay in business?!
