Stella Barra
Santa Monica, California
Pizza might not be the first thing you think of when you're by the ocean, but it'd be a shame to overlook the pies at Stella Barra. Located not far from the pier, this sleekly-decorated eatery churns out hundreds of the circular treats per night, offering a range of toppings for their salty, puffy crusts that stretched from a shaved mushroom with gruyere to a traditional margherita. The drink menu — created by Proprietors LLC — is also strong, as are the small plates, salads, sandwiches, and baked goods, the latter of which are available from the breakfast counter at the front of the joint.
