Starlas - Bellingham (WA)

5 /5 Terra Incognita: The best Neapolitan pizza cooked in a PizzaMaster PM402ED-DW Dual Chamber Double Width Electric Countertop Pizza Oven at a Target Temperature of 630 Fahrenheit with the Top Heat Intensity set to 9 and Bottom Heat Intensity set to 4.

5 /5 John: fantastic little wine and pizza place. Pizza was exceptional, high quality ingredients cooked perfectly. The wine selection offers exclusively organic wines which is excellent. The staff is friendly and prices reasonable. Do note that the prices you see on the wine bottles are for drinking it there(includes corkage) if you buy the wine to take home its significantly less money.

5 /5 Rajeev Majumdar: Good food, friendly staff, and atmosphere, but the lack of table service and having to wait in lines to order is a major drawback, especially at peak times. Sausage pizza was fantastic with its chili oil but surprisingly skimpy on the actual sausage, but the stracciatella was EPIC! No hard liqour, which is strange for the atmosphere which begs cocktails.

2 /5 Johnny Chavez: There is a HUGE misunderstanding that this is a pizza place, this is NOT a pizza place it is a wine bar the makes pizza. They can only cook 4 pizzas at a time. THEY HAVE NO PHONE LISTED, no way to contact for info, they don’t care about your convenience of time. We would’ve gladly went somewhere else but since we read other reviews saying it is the best pizza around, we went in to order and had to wait an hour and half for a personal pizza. Many postings about them having a wood burning pizza oven, but the truth is look at the pictures, it is a simple stainless steel electric oven. They just turn off the ordering option on their website with no reason so you are compelled to go in, their website should let you know they can only make 4 pizzas at a time and they get backed up and cannot make more pizzas. To be fair, the pizza was awesome and perfectly cooked and great tasting pizzas we had but not knowing how you are going to get it, IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET A PIZZA, because if they get backed up they pus put signs up outside that they are “sold out” without posting online. I don’t like a 50/50 chance you may get to order a pizza. If you are going for wine it may be a 5 Star but we just happen to be there for Pizza. There was only 2 servers who took orders and served, no apologies for the wait or inconvenience going out of your way to find out they are sold out or over an hour wait for a personal size pizza.

5 /5 Jed Holmes: Extremely well curated from the wine selection, to the ambiance, the music and of course the food. We loved it! Exactly the kind of date night or hang with your friends wine spot that Bellingham needs. The staff is friendly but more importantly knowledgeable about wine so feel free to ask if you’re intimidated by the list and need help picking something out to drink. Can’t wait to go back. Starla’s is excellent addition to the Bellingham Restaurant Scene.
