First time dining at Spacca did not disappoint! We made a reservation about five days ahead on a Sunday and had no problem with the time that we wanted. You must call to make reservations here. We started off with their meatball special, which was incredible, the texture of the meatballs was so soft, and they melted in your mouth. (5/5) The grilled octopus was also a hit, it was presented perfectly, and all of the ingredients tasted extremely fresh. (4.5/5) For pizzas, we went with the pistachio. It had ample amounts of sausage on it and truly delicious! Nice patio to enjoy in the summertime, and large glass windows making the restaurant bright. Service was below average, but the food made out for it! read more

Some of the best Neapolitan style pizza in Chicago. If you're really hungry, you can finish an entire pie on your own. It's super fast & servers are great with recommendations. Definitely go for one of their special pizzas if there's a feature. While they take reservations on the phone, you can definitely do a walk-in. If you go on a weeknight, higher chance in getting a table quickly. But even on the weekend, it's worth the wait. read more

I started with the Caiati wine, which was a very dark white with kind of a cider-y taste. Would probably try something different next time. For food, we started with the meatballs which was a special item and was actually really good. Five little meatballs with a good amount of sauce and pine nuts which gave them a fun flavor. The burrata was also really good. Very simple but still very tasty. Got the pistachio pizza again because it was so good the first time and it didn't disappoint. We also tried the ricotta special which also had mushrooms and as expected it was very cheesy, but the pistachio was definitely better. read more

We had dinner at Spacca Napoli tonight & it was incredible. It was busy for a Wednesday night but service was fast & friendly! We had the Margherita & the Salsiccia. The Salsiccia was the best pizza I've ever had. The sausage was like a warm hug. No notes! read more

Still so good! If you're in the mood for authentic Neapolitan style pizza, THIS IS THE PLACE. I honestly don't think any other place in Chicago comes close. That being said, reservations are essential (and only accepted over the phone), as they are packed even on weekdays. My current favorite is the Capricciosa pizza. Also, their arancini and desserts are delicious. I'd especially recommend the Peaches Vesuvio dessert ~ sooo good. Service is great and the ambience is casual but feels warm, inviting, and suitable for a casual dinner or even date night. There are also a lot of free parking spaces along Ravenswood Ave, and it's close to the Montrose Brown Line stop. read more

This is one of our favorite pizza places in the city. They don't offer online reservations, but you could call to reserve a table or simply just show up. If you do end up showing up be prepared to wait for a table, but it's totally worth it as the pizzas are absolutely delicious. They have a huge selection to choose from plus lots of yummy appetizers. The ambience is great and also kid friendly! Don't miss out on their delicious desserts to finish your meal. Can't wait to go back! They don't offer valet but we've never had a hard time finding street parking. read more

We booked well an advance to celebrate a birthday on a weekend. Our party of 6 was 3 who live in Chicago and 3 of us visiting (including myself). I was excited to try this place as my university Italian professor (originally from Italy) had spoken highly of their pizza but I never made it there before I moved out of state. Sadly, it was such a letdown that nothing positive about the pizza I tried is sticking with me. Maybe the recommendation was too outdated (over a decade ago) or maybe ordering the Conciato to try something unique was the totally wrong move. The Conciato had "smoked mozzarella, squash cream, toasted walnuts, and Conciato romano". The squash cream was more like a puree and the Conciato romano cheese was very pungent - approaching a blue cheese taste despite not being such. It overpowered everything else. The pizza was also not hot at all when it arrived at the table, making it somewhat dry considering no sauce. I ate 2 slices and had no desire to eat anymore. The service was really mediocre, honestly even sub-par as the server had walked away as someone in our party was ordering pinot grigio and he brought pinot noir and essentially blamed her. There was absolutely zero acknowledgement of the birthday. With all the great pizza in Chicago (including many Italian-style options), I wouldn't bother coming back here unless someone positively assured me that ordering a different pizza would leave me with a better impression. read more

We are so fortunate that Spacca Napoli is literally down the block from Lillstreet Art Center, where my daughter and I are taking a ceramic class. When we go home, we always drive by the restaurant and its outdoor patio seating, we were attracted by its nice ambiance and popularity. We decided to check it out when the timing and weather were right. The first time we went, it was a learning experience. We already knew that the indoor seating could be reserved, and outdoors seating was first come first served. You are supposed to join a wait list if the outdoor seating was filled. The very friendly girl named Violet who was in charge of the list advised us that the wait time was about an hour. So, we gave up that time. The second time around, my daughter walked over to Spacca Napoli to put her name and phone number on the wait list for patio seating, and found out that the wait time was 45 minutes. Then she came back to the art center to re-join me, and continue working on her pottery. The staff called her in about 40 to 45 minutes when there was a table available, and could hold the table for us for 10 minutes. We then packed up and walked over to get seated! Success! We picked a nice cool summer evening, the ambiance at the Spacca Napoli was absolutely beautiful and festive with the hanging lights around. Our server was very friendly and professional. Daughter ordered a Funghi Pizza (blended San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, mushrooms, basil, pecorino gran cru) and a Spritz. I had a Pistacchio Pizza (fior di latte, sausage, pistachio cream, and basil) that our server said was the best. We ended up sharing the pizzas, and they were both very good. I also ordered an Italian Lemon Soda, which was refreshing and not too sweet. We both enjoyed our pizzas and drinks. Like a typical Neapolitan pizza, the crust was fluffy, chewy and tender, and the pizzas and toppings were fresh and flavorful. We had a wonderful evening. We both had leftovers to enjoy the next day. I reheated my leftovers with a hot oven (400°F for 5 to 7 minutes). It made the crust crispy that I liked even more, it was so good! We love our dining experience at the Spacca Napoli, and will definitely return to try more items on their menu. read more

Was up in Ravenswood for an appointment and finally decided to stop into Spacca Napoli after hearing great things. It's one of the higher-rated pizza spots in Chicago and they do Neapolitan-style, my favorite, so I had to try it. It's a nice sit-down restaurant, but since I wasn't really dressed for it, I grabbed my order to go. Super easy process, placed my order with the hostess in about 30 seconds, and even though she said 15-20 minutes, my pizza was ready in under five. Huge plus. Got the Diavola, my go-to style of Neapolitan pizza, and it was excellent. Heated it up a bit when I got home and it was perfect crispy, flavorful, and honestly about as authentic as anything I've had in Italy. No complaints at all. Between the fast service, great pizza, and overall vibe, Spacca Napoli is absolutely a must-try for Neapolitan pizza in Chicago. Can't wait to come back for a proper sit-down meal with friends next time. read more

A delightful neighborhood place. Others have covered the pizza options well. Our favorite was the unusual pistacchio with crumbled sausage. It's very rich, but worth it. I would have liked more figs on the fig and prosciutto. We loved both of the daily specials we tried: a lemony kale salad and grilled asparagus with yummy walnut cream. I was expecting something like the cashew cream sauce you'd get at a vegan restaurant, but this was more like walnut baba ghanoush. Delicious! The room is pleasant and the servers got the job done. If it hadn't been crazy humid, we would have enjoyed sitting outdoors in the sidewalk cafe area. read more

Coming from someone who typically doesn't like neopolitan style pizza, this place was incredible! Great service and they have a beautiful cozy interior and patio seating as well. They have tons of options for pizza with a good selection of vegetarian items. We started with the eggplant appetizer which was delicious! For pizza we had the buffalina and pistacchio (no sausage) and they were both SO SO good! Definitely do not skip on the desserts! The mini cannolis were to die for. read more

I finally had a chance to try Spacca Napoli after having had it bookmarked for years on Yelp. I stopped by for lunch and had the soup of the day to start. The soup consisted of rapini, sausage, and chunks of bread. While it was flavorful, it was also extremely salty. For the pizza, I had the famous Pistachio pizza which fortunately lived up to the hype. I wish I had picked something else as the starter, but the meal overall was pretty good. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a minute and I'm so glad I did! So many pizzas to choose from that sound absolutely fantastic. I decided to go OG and go for a bufalina which is a bit fancier margarita and it's amazing. A glass of red wine, a seat outside, and a pizza to myself I don't have to share. Go and check it out! read more

I can't believe that Spaca Napoli only has 4.2 stars. Come on, fellow Chicagoans. We went with our favorite foodie friends tonight, having known about the restaurant for years, but not having gone due to the restaurant not taking reservations. We were told to expect a wait while we were on the way but got in right away. The rooms are very pretty with an open kitchen at the front. We were blown away by the food. The quality of the ingredients, fabulous toppings and perfect pizza crust make these among the best pizzas any of us have ever had. We split a tuna and greens salad that was enough for 4, also excellent. We'll definitely return, despite being inconvenient and iffy about a wait. read more

Amazing pizza and service. Every bite was awsome, burrata was fantastic. Always leave glad we dined.

Traditional and unique takes on Naples style pizza and flavors, it's definitely a place you need to try if you consider yourself a wino, Italian food fan, a traditional margarita pizza. This place is great for intimate dates, family outings, or just a solo adventure. The wait staff are kind. We were able to get a reservation for Wednesday at 5pm only calling at 3pm. People say it's hard to get into but when we were leaving around 6:30 it still had seats open. Definitely make a reservation anytime after 6pm. The food was good, we got a meatball appetizer which had raisins and pine nuts inside. They were great, sweet and crunchy. We also got a margarita pizza but added sweet salami for our kid who believe it was pepperoni (win for all). Then we got another pizza with prosciutto, mushroom, basil, olives, artichokes. It was good. I would have taken one of the topping off as the crust wasn't strong enough to hold all the toppings when eating but it was good. For dessert we got tiramisu, macchiato, and raspberry sorbet. Everything was good. Definitely a kid friendly place, plenty of kids were there, they are willing to make modifications to the pizza, and the staff are nice. read more

We love wood fired pizza, and there is no one in Chicago doing it like Spacca Napoli. Truly just leaps and bounds above our next favorite spot. We started with the Burrata - so simple yet so perfectly executed. I had the Funghi pizza and it was delicious. Perfect topping to crust ratio. My husband had the Pistachio pizza with no cheese, and it was totally loaded up with sausage. Love that they are not stingy. You may have a long wait, but it's worth it. read more

Spacca Napoli brings some of the best pizza in Chicago in a comfortable informal space. The menu has about ~20 pizzas, split between red and white. There are classics (e.g. Margherita) and creative twists (e.g. pistachio). Highly recommend a mix of classic and creative. We ordered four pizzas for 3 of us and had just enough. Seats are comfortable but tables are quite small, common for Italian restaurants. Atmosphere was lively, not loud, and easy to chat in. We walked-in on a busy Saturday and waited 30 to 45min for a seat. But contrary to popular belief, they do take reservations by phone. We ordered: Margherita Pistachio - Personal Favorite Funghi e Salsiccia Eggplant read more

Excellent pizza, the crust has enough chew and crisp. The dining room is always packed, reservations are a must.

Spacca Napoli made me a fan of pizza again! I was getting bored with it, but they display the art of it. The ambiance of the patio is beautiful, I would say the inside feels homey but may not be the right setting for a date night or girls night out. It definitely is a family dining spot which is great. The service we had was just okay, not particularly pleasant or unpleasant. 5 stars based on food, but more of a 4/4.5 if including ambiance and service. read more

Four stars for the absolutely delicious pizza and best tiramisu ever anywhere anytime. The robotic waitstaff appear so human but when you attempt to interact with them, the absence of personality busts the illusion. They should consider hiring more humans. read more

Went here for lunch during the week with a large group of co workers and it was empty! The service was fast and the waiter was attentive. We started with the octopus and arancini. Both were above average. The octopus and all of the ingredients complemented eachother very well. We got a variety of pizzas for the entrees. All of them were okay nothing special in my opinion. The best was the ben essere- beets on a pizza was interesting. We ended with espresso which had a weird lemon taste to it. Overall this place was okay. I would probably go back if i was in the area but would not go out of my way to go here. The food had flavors that complemented eachother well but the pizza was pretty average. read more

Completely in awe of Spacca. This was my first visit(a friend recommended it), and after years of traveling abroad including time spent in Napoli, I can confidently say this place transported me right back there. The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere...everything was exceptional. I came solo and savored every moment. The mussels were incredibly flavorful, and the Bufalina pizza was simply to die for which became recommended by the server(Chris). I indulged in a rosé, a sparkling white, and a red, each one beautifully complementing the meal. I'm absolutely in love with this place. As I waited for my first course, a lovely man came around the corner with a sample slice of pizza that was delectable. If I had one small wish, it would be slightly dimmer lighting and a bit of classic Neapolitan music to enhance the ambiance and authenticity. But it was also still light out, so hence the brighter lighting. Still, an easy five stars from me. A true gem in Ravenswood! I feel so lucky to have it just down the street. Ben fatto, Spacca! read more

If you like Neapolitan pizza, this is your spawttttt in Chicago! The best of that genre in town, truly. The apps are quite good- the arancini, asparagus, squash blossom special and bread I tried were all like 4/5 stars. The pizza is where it's atttt though- I'd rather get a bunch of pizzas than their apps TBH. The dough is so light, fluffy, chewy and wood-fired-flavorful! You can't go wrong w/ the classics (margherita, bufalina). Their toppings slap too, though... I always love a prosciutto or sausage moment! And recently I tried the Ben Essere, which was a veggie-packed pizza on multi grain crust- biiig fan of the crust flavor. Spacca is a nice spot for a casual date night, family meal or a cute lil friends' night out. Love it for a cozy vibe in winter or their lovely outdoor seating in the summer! read more

I enjoyed my visit to Spacca Napoli. The interior is a classic dine-in pizzeria, which I appreciated. Pizzas are about ~$20-$25 per person. You could probably split an appetizer and a pizza between two people for lunch and be satisfied. There are many creative varieties of pizzas, which can satisfy a spicy, savory, meaty, veggie, or accented with sweetish items cravings. Service was quick and attentive. read more

I love Italian style pizza so I knew I had to try Spacca Napoli after seeing so many people raving about it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was no wait on a Saturday afternoon and the pizza also came out pretty fast. We shared the Funghi e Salsiccia ($20) and it was plenty for both of us as the pies are huge! The dough is the perfect thickness and its nice and chewy. You can tell that the ingredients are all super fresh and everything paired so well together. It was the perfect lunch and I wish I lived in Chicago so that I could come more often! I know this place is really popular so I recommend making a reservation especially if you're coming in a big group. I also wish I was hungrier so that we could've gotten a couple of pies to try different ones, but I was a big fan of the mushroom and meatball combo. Highly recommend this spot! It was worth the long bus ride up! read more
