The inside of this restaurant is a classic, old-school pizzeria, complete with worn wood tables, tile floors, and delightfully kitschy decor.

Most notably, the pizzeria is home to the eight-pound Stellian’s Special, a Chicago-style, deep dish, stuffed crust pizza that’s the stuff of pizza lovers’ dreams!

Each behemoth ‘za is created with a thick house-made crust stuffed with multiple layers of dough, toppings, sauce, and cheese. So. Much. Cheese. Each slice of this masterpiece clocks in at a solid pound(!).
