Stellas Pizzeria 2 6 South Water Street, Athens, NY 12015

"I’ve given this place three different tries and I’m absolutely done. The woman with the short brown hair is extremely rude, she started yelling and screaming that she’s quitting right in front of me and started packing her bags and her manager just let it happen. My first time there my food was messed up 5 times. I had to go back FIVE TIMES. The woman with the black hair and clue eyes is very nice but her coworker needs to find a new job. “What do you want” when I come to place and order. Every time I’ve ordered the same thing and she’s charged me more each time. She seems like she hates her job or her life or both but I’m not going to be treated like that, especially for subpar food. I got two pancakes, a bagel, and a piece of cheese cake and was changed $27 and some change. Outrageous. Never will I return."

"Nice and clean was my first impression, I ordered a small salad and received a large one. Fried chicken with French fries, chicken was delicious, although a bit pricey. I had ice water and a small slice cherry cheesecake, yum but it came to $44.00. Too Too expensive for 2 pieces of chicken. Pizza is their best seller. Waitress's were tops! Very nice and pleasant."

"First time here 4/15/23 and will be back! Quaint and very clean with friendly staff. Loved all the woodwork in the dining room. Very nice view across street of Hudson River and Athens park. We came for lunch and the portions were generous and delicious. We are looking forward to returning for dinner or breakfast."

"Penne alla Vodka was wonderful and very well cooked. I strongly recommend this place for the food and also for the view near the lake."

"The best thing about this place is that you can take it to go and walk across for some killer water views. Now..what do pizza and pancakes have in common? ABSOLUTELY N-O-T-H-I-N-G! Seriously. This is the worst mix ever. Super confusing. Confusing menu. So many options but you’re not really sure what they’re good for. Naturally pizza is one of them and you can never go wrong with pizza, right? Pizza was fine. Just grabbed a couple slices to go. I would NEVER dine here. Covid or not. The ambiance is not appealing at all. You have a killer view outside with a vibe killer inside. A menu so large you get lost. It’s basically a diner? But a pizzeria? But a pub? But you eat here? So you can get spaghetti and meatballs? I think? But also chicken and waffles type of thing. Super confusing. Not my fave. At all. What’s also not my fave is the fact that they have a plexi glass to protect themselves from us (while we’re wearing masks) and masks ARE required but apparently not for employees. Hmm..also super confusing. The person that helped me had no mask on, no gloves, yet she was handling our food. As i peeked to the kitchen, several people were not wearing masks. SUCH A TURN OFF. When I went to leave I decided to grab myself a little to go container of hot pepper flakes (that was never offered to me nor did I want her to handle it after touching her face and my card and the register while wearing no mask). I was abruptly stopped while she said well you know “covid” as she’s there without a mask and I am. Funny. Lol. Anyways. This place is probably the only place open. And yes you can have many options of food. Not exactly sure I’d come back here but give it a try YOU might actually like it."
