    Pistachio Pizza
    Tina L.

    This place is definitely worth the hype! The pizza was super fresh and the service was very fast. I got seated with no wait Friday around noon & the pizza was out in like 10 mins, I swear. The pistachio is unique and flavorful! You can def make 1 'za into 2 meals as well. A positive experience overall. Glad I finally got to cross this place off my bucket list!

    I can't believe I've not been to this place before, the food was sooo good! My friend and I were in the neighborhood and decided to give this place a try. There was a waiting time as they were quite busy on a Sunday evening, but we could put our names down and explore the surrounding neighborhood. We ordered the Pistachio and Diavola to share. We did half and half for the pizzas, i.e. meat/ non-meat option. For my Diavola share of the pizza, I was able to replace pork with mushrooms. Both the pizzas were so delicious, we relished each and every bite! The pistachios pizza was my fav, especially the fior di latte cheese, so gooey and good! The place is definitely far from downtown but definitely worth a try! I was fairly impressed and wouldn't mind visiting again!

    Another recommendation from our italian neighbors. Such a cute neighborhood spot with outdoor seating. Went right when it opened and the tables filled up quick. Pistachio pizza was SO GOOD never had pistachio sauce on pizza before. La regina was the special of the day, super bright and fresh with the sweetest cherry tomatoes, arugula, and buffalo mozzarella. With a drizzle of chili oil and sprinkle of chili flakes on every slice, this was easily some of the best pizza I've ever had. On par with coda di volpe.

    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.

    Special - Ricotta di Bufala

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    It was a surprise to find this local gem. There was a hub of activity on an otherwise quiet residential street. An out of town friend found it online so we went for Italian style thin pizza instead of deep dish pizza. When we arrived at 6pm on a Sunday, place was packed and already had a wait list going. Though they estimated 30-40mins, they were able to seat us in 10mins. They offered bread with a little baked onion and it was delicious. I could not turn away warm bread. We had the grilled asparagus with cream for appetizer. Portion was small, but I liked the blended nut cream. The pizza selections looked really interesting. I spread the cream on the bread. The pistachio sausage pizza was filling. We had tiramisu and panna cotta. I figured the tiramisu is a safe bet. I cannot tell what was missing, but it somehow was just ok. The parking on the side street was pretty simple. I would definitely return to try the other pizzas.

    Conciato - pass. Order anything else.

    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.

    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.

    Simple pure joy!

    This is a beautiful, comfortable and happy place! We made a reservation, but it wasn't needed at 5.30 on a Tuesday. (However, when we left, several people were waiting.) There is nice variety of vegetarian and meaty pizzas, but what a delight to find a pizza on the menu just waiting to thrill a vegan! The Marinara DOP has blended San Marzana tomatoes, piennolo tomatoes, oregano, and garlic and NO CHEESE! I added mushrooms, olives and a arugula and I got perfection! My husband enjoyed his Funghi e Salsiccia with blended tomatoes, sausage,mushrooms, basil and 2 kinds of cheese. We also split the Insalata Mista. It was just a simple and heavenly meal! Our server was helpful and nice and the staff all took very good care of us. You can enjoy their fine patio, too!

    Kale salad
    Hanna S.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Spacca Napoli

    Does Spacca Napoli offer non-dairy cheese as an option for pizza? If so, what is it made out of? (soy, almond, etc.)

    Is this okay for solo diners?

    Absolutely

    Do they accept Mastercard and Visa?

    Yes, they do.

    Is there a takeout option?

    Probably but this is not the type of pizza you want for takeout unless you were going to be eating in minutes anyway. Neopolitan pizza is only baked for 60-90 seconds and you want that crust perfect. It is about both flavor and texture.

    What’s the best way to reheat the (rare) leftover pizza at home?? Temp? On a stone? Etc

    First, I'm with you, I've never had leftovers from spacca napoli! But, I have ordered extra pizza to bring home 👌. Stone is probably the best, but who can wait that long! So most likely no reheat at all (me) or microwave (my husband).… 

    Can you bring your small dog inside?

    I never get why people think they can take a dog to a restaurant. NO!

    Is there a bar you could dine at?

    No.

Reservations: We were visiting Chicago and I was able to snag a reservation a week early but the time slots were either really early (before 4 PM or after 9:30 PM). Thankfully, I was able to turn on notifications for cancellations and got a better time slot, I'd recommend looking earlier than a week out if you want more flexibility Food: The pizza was all build your own style which was pretty nice! We did a small deep dish and it was great and incredibly filling, the small pizza was a lot of food for 2, I will say, but we wanted it to come in the cast iron pan. The blackened crust was incredible. After getting over the fact that I was eating pizza with a fork and knife, I really enjoyed it but I can't say I'd repeat this often for the sake of my health haha. It was a bit too heavy for me to want to have consistently but I'm sure that's part of the experience. I'd love to come back and try the pan style pizzas since those receive a lot of praise and are probably easier to eat more of Ambiance: this place is way bigger than I thought with multiple floors, the interior was great with the brick all around and a game or two always playing

Service is good and timely- the hostess was super kind and helpful. We started with some cocktails- a Negroni & a spritz (both were good & pretty strong). Then we split the Caesar salad and a pizza with half sausage/olive and mushroom/onion. Yeah, the pizza did blow me away- the crust is perfectly crunchy and so so thin. I wouldn't even describe it as traditional tavern style pizza because I think it's a really crunchy crust- but it's definitely wayyyyy better than Dimi Dimi (that's the most comparable crust imo). The sauce has a slight spice to it, and the whole pizza just feels very layered in terms of flavorful profile. The sausage was also spicy but very good and I absolutely loved the mushroom and onion duo. Sometimes when you go to a certain pizza places, it doesn't feel worth it, but all the ingredients felt elevated here and the pizza had an elevated taste. The Caesar salad had a nice light dressing and a ton of cheese. I wish that the lettuce had a bit more of a crunch to it, but they seemed to use butter lettuce. The inside feels like a classic Italian joint, but it's very small and simple Overall, so glad that I finally went and although it's not a place that I would go regularly because I live far, I would definitely come back!
