Spacca Napoli Pizzeria

Outstanding neopolitan pizza at a great value. Spacca Napoli feels elevated, but is suitable for both special occasions and casual lunches. Sat on the patio for a Sunday lunch in the summer. No need for a reservation at this time, but would recommend one for evenings. Patio is a quintessential Chicago sidewalk patio vibe, but the interior is terrific as well. Fresh flavors and quality ingredients here. I tried the multigrain crust which was recommended by our server. Pies can certainly be treated as a personal pizza if you’re hungry! 🤤

My wife and I had a spectacular dinner at Spacca Napoli. We have had many friends who have been here and we, after many years of hearing it's accolades, finally made it to this delicious pizzeria. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, immediately smelling like yeast and the ol' country upon entry. The staff and out server were very friendly and th right kind of casual. And most importantly, the food was marvelous, especially the Pistachio Pesto pizza. We finished off the night with some cannolis. Can't recommend enough, this spot may become a regular haunt.

Spacca Napoli lives up to its reputation as one of Chicago’s best Neapolitan pizza spots. The pizzas are beautifully balanced—soft, airy crust with just the right amount of char, high-quality ingredients, and classic flavors done right. The Margherita is a standout, with bright tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil, while the Diavola has a great kick without overpowering the dough. Beyond pizza, the menu feels thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere is warm and unpretentious—lively but still comfortable for a relaxed meal. Service is friendly and efficient, even when the place is busy. It’s the kind of spot you’d happily return to again and again, whether you’re a pizza purist or just craving something genuinely well made.

The pizza special I had (pork shoulder slices with small chunks of potato) was delicious, especially with the multigrain crust. My partner enjoyed his fungi pizza. We shared the tartufu dessert. We loved all of it. We don't get here a lot because of the reservation system they have (which is understandable). So it always feels like a special occasion when we do.

I drift back to this corner every few years or so, not because I forget it but because life makes me slow. Yet every time I wander in, the reason’s clear as day, for pizza from this brick oven is worth the trip, the wait, the way. The crust is hand-shaped beauty, light and tender, crisp and warm, with toppings that feel thoughtful in both flavor and in form. The salads are a dreamland, fresh and simple, clean and fine, the kind you think about again long after dinnertime. A casual, happy haven, no pretense, only heart Spacca Napoli reminds me why pizza is an art.
