Merchant Highlight

Pictured above are Stella and Ms. Laurie Gottschalk.

The faces behind Stella’s Brick Oven Pizzeria and Bistro.

Did you know that this classy pizza joint is based off just more than a logo?

Sweet Stella, like Mrs. Laurie, is the definition of loyal, compassionate, honest and nurturing. The four points on which this business is ran.

A place where its about more than “just the food”. A work environment thats accepting and inclusive. An establishment that is welcoming and warm. Remarkable design, oh AND the freshest ingredients in town of course.

Stella’s Brick Oven is a staple to our district because of what it provides and we encourage you to come try it out for yourself.

Guests will enjoy dinner, drinks, and live music followed by a pop music dance party with a live DJ. Highlights of the night will include a pop-up art studio where guests can make their own pop art, photo ops with iconic pop art imagery to commemorate the night, and BAAC's signature silent auction featuring unique art pieces from local artists.
