• 401(k) Stella Barra Pizzeria & Wine Bar is an artisanal pizzeria with an eclectic menu inspired by the idea of simple, honest cooking. Chefs Jeff Mahin & Ben Goodnick have developed a network of farms and purveyors to supply the restaurant with fresh-milled, 100% California flour for handcrafted dough, and sustainably farmed organic produce, meats and cheeses. The inventive pasta program uses authentic Italian imports - and pastas and pizzas can be made gluten-free upon request.
