Here are two applications of stacks to number theory.

1. Section 3 of this paper, which solves the diophantine equation $x^2 + y^3 = z^7$, explains the connection between stacks and generalized Fermat equations.

2. This post explains how stacks fit into the proof of Deuring's formula for the number of supersingular elliptic curves over a finite field.
