LOVE this spot. I've been here three times now and every time, I've been impressed. There's often a wait, but it's worth it. Everything I've tried here has been great, but my piece of advice to new visitors is that as tempting as the more creative pizzas are, you can't go wrong with the standard, "boring" sounding options. Spacca Napoli makes what's probably the best margherita pizza I've ever tried -- and I was initially hesitant to order it! The more creative pizzas are good too, so there really aren't any bad choices. Also: get the burrata. Especially if you're in a group. The portion is large and it tastes great. On my last visit, we mixed things up and got the caprese instead of the burrata, and while it was good, I enjoyed the burrata more and would recommend it over the caprese. read more

Had been aiming to try Spacca since moving to Chicago. Went a rainy day and was perf for pizza and wine night. Tried to get reservation the day before but didn't see any availability so we went early and put our name down. The atmosphere is cozy/homey and doesn't feel pretentious at all. They know what they're doing and do it well. Neapolitan pizza can sometimes be meh , the ingredients and quality here are 100%. We ordered the eggplant parmigiana as a stater. I was a bit hesitant but it was actually really tasty! For our pie we went with the Margherita Pizza and Diavola Pizza. Both were fantastic! Though they were extremely busy the service was quick and attentive! Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

We were looking forward to a special experience, but the pizza was underwhelming, almost under-done, and definitely not the best pizza in this genre in Chicago. Servicer was also almost disinterested in providing service and it wasn't even that busy, as we got there just at opening. Had the burrata.. good, but stingy on the accompanying crostini. Decor.. like eating in recreation room, tidy, but nothing memorable. Probably will not revisit. read more

This is the best authentic Italian pizza I have had outside of Italy. It's also one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood and perhaps the whole city. I've been coming here for years and always have a fabulous experience. Service is always outstanding. I have tried most things on the menu by now but always insist on the burrata appetizer because it is the best burrata I have ever had in my life, hands-down. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I know it used to be flown in from Italy every week. My group and I also tried the prosciutto and fig appetizer special this time, which was amazing. My favorite entree is the diavola pizza, which is spicy and absolute perfection. The wine list is extensive and thoughtful, and while all desserts are great, they are known for their tartufo, which is unique and delicious. Also, everything is priced very reasonably, especially considering the quality. Definitely make a reservation and know that the beautiful patio is first-come, first-served if you want to sit outside. read more

Some of the freshest ingredients and pasta that can be found. Everything on the menu is worth a shot and there are always fun specials

Upon arrival place was crowded and there was a wait, they do not take reservations for 2 or less which is a bummer.. Moving on, after waiting for some time my friend and i sat and ordered a meal, not to mention this place does not serve pasta, yep you heard that, no pasta, pizza, eggplant but no pasta, food was amazing, we were offered samples of wine which was nice, food was tasty, prices reasonable for the quality you receive. Staff very attentive, location clean, cannot comment on the lavatory as i did not visit. Upon exit you are given a complimentary canoli, yum. I recommend this place. read more

Always hits the spot! Love that the pizzas are freshly made. Such a cute little spot you can bring your dogs to during the summer, there's outdoor seating! Prices are reasonable for how the pizzas are made. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

As a European who grew up on good pizza I have to say I'm hard to impress. Spacca Napoli delivers though! Their appetizers are very authentic and deliciously fresh (that burrata just melts in your mouth). The pizzas are thin crust, so you really get to taste the ingredients and don't feel like you are loading up on bread and air. It's still a carbivore's dream but with a little more balance. They don't have coke but rather an Italian cola which is good but really can't compare to coke (it's just two very different drinks). Their cappuccino is a perfect finish to a great meal. They are usually very busy so make sure you give them a call ahead of time. Covid note: they will remain open for takeaway if you are craving a delicious meal during your social distancing days. read more

Is it just me, or is everything delicious loaded with calories and/or unhealthy? If I ruled the world and everything in it. .. I'd make pizza, burgers, wings, mac n' cheese, pork belly, BBQ, ice cream, beer and brownies the staples of a nutritious diet. Spacca Napoli pizza would eliminate belly fat and promote being svelte in general (shout out Ju). The pizza here is good. Really really good. From the salty-chewy-slightly charred-brick oven baked crust, to the flavorful yet balanced San Marzano sauce. Mozzarella isn't usually flavorful, but this hand pulled cheese helps make this one of the more authentic pies you'll find. My favorite is the Diavola with added sausage. It has just the right amount of heat to balance the rich cheese and buttery crust. My only criticism is the crust being a little too weak to hold the toppings especially when it's piping hot from the oven. Not a deal breaker for me. If you're in Chicagoland & an avid pizza lover, Spacca Napoli is worth a special trip. read more

Pizza was very good. The ingredients were fresh and good quality. Service was ok, felt rushed and not very welcome. It was a Saturday mid afternoon, busy but not overly so. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciated the patio seating atmosphere. We probably would have ordered more than 1 pizza but didn't feel encouraged to do so. If we were to eat from here again it would probably be to-go. 2 1/2 stars on the service but the food brought me up to a 3. Better service and it would have been a 4. read more

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The ingredients were fresh and the price was very reasonable for what you're getting.

I brought my pizza critic boyfriend from California for what I was told was THE BEST NAPOLITANO pizza in Chicago. We were not disappointed. Make a reservation on a busy evening, but they do take walk ins. The pizza was perfect crust, perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and basil. The eggplant parm was a nice portion size and baked to perfection. Great wine selection. Everything was so good we forgot to take a photo. Absolutely delicious!!!! read more

We were really eager to try this spot while the weather was still nice and we could sit outside. The patio is spacious and the staff efficient and welcoming. The pizza was quite good. We had (forgive me bc I cannot remember the names) a Margherita with sardines, a salami with roasted peppers and olives, and one with squash cream. I don't do sardines as a general rule, but I tried my friend's - not bad! What sent it over was the lemon infused olive oil. I really want to try making my own version at home now. My salami/roasted peppers was just what I needed after several weeks of cutting back my meat intake. It was the perfect amount - not too little, not too much. The peppers melted in your mouth. The squash cream one we thought was...fine. it was good to try just to see what it would be like. I maybe need a bit more spice to get me excited though. All in all, a great meal. The reason for the 4 stars was because I had a cappuccino and it was 7 dollars. SEVEN freaking dollars. That's some kind of upcharge. It was a tiny cup - so small you couldn't put your thumb through the handle hole to grip the cup. Unless an angel came through and blessed the beans that's just way too much for what was offered. I understand everything is more expensive now, and I 100% should have checked the price, but even Starbucks' burnt coffee offerings don't cost that much. It's a nice place for a date or a special occasion. Recommended, but do check the prices on your post-meal drinks. read more

First time visiting, I ordered the bufalina with salami and finished with tartufo. A little pricey but definitely quality ingredients and wonderful crust on the pizza. The tartufo ... heavenly! I would go back just for the tartufo. The salami was a little spicier than I expected but otherwise the pizza was quite good. I definitely would recommend Spacca Napoli. read more

Best Neapolitan pizza in Chicago by far! Been that way since they opened up almost 20 years ago.

The restaurant had a great Italian charm and good American versions of Italian classics. I would come back but remember that one pizza can feed 2 people and have more antipasti to share to have more variety in the meal. read more

The best Neapolitan pizza in Midwest. We have been frequent patrons for over a decade and still love this place. Despite its inconvenient location outside of downtown, we have yet to find a comparable pizza place nearby. It's definitely worth the effort to make a trip out there. read more

Simply AUTHENTIC fresh ingredients from farm to table. Margherita, Calzone, and Diavola is what was on my menu tonight. I would suggest eating the pizzas first to allow the flavors to merry together in the Calzone and finish with that last. That's what I did, and the Calzone flavor took away the pizza flavors immediately from my taste buds. It was like a mint after dinner. Very satisfying. The BEST Tiramisu I had thus far in Chicago. I went to classy places and ordered it but they didn't even come close to this places tiramisu. A must have!!!! Panna Cotta need I say more? Light and refreshing end to the massacre tonight. I would choose this over creme brûlée any day. read more

The BEST pizza in Chicago. My 10 year old son agrees and wants to make sure all the kids know that this place is awesome, too.

This restaurant saved a perfect Father's day. So it was Father's day. There was this pizza place that my daughter agreed we would go to just for me, after we had been to an art fair. Had been there ages ago and arriving, we found it was forever closed! So disappointing! We scrambled and finally casted about to find this wonderful restaurant. Salad, wine, pizza! Can't beat it! The pizza had a crust that had that sort of soft, crunchy edge. Our pizza of choice was the Diavola with blended San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, Calabrese soppressata, and basil. Superb! Sat outside on a sweltering day. Nice setting, very nice! read more

What an evening! Reservations were made in advance and I highly recommend you do the same if you can. Our group of six was seated quickly and our server was quick to answer any questions. He was very knowledgeable of the wine list too. Each person ordered a pizza in our group and we all shared. The flavor of the dough alone could be a worthy of a dish by itself. All of the ingredients are spot on and as fresh as can be. read more

Spacca Napoli - Capricciosa Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been a fan of Spacca Napoli for 10 years now, and they're still on their game. It's my favorite Neapolitan place in The Chicago area. During the pandemic, we'd drive in every couple of weeks for carryout to get our fix. They made it through the tough times and now seem busier than ever. On our recent weeknight visit the place was packed, inside and out. The highlight dish was a crispy polenta/pancetta app -- delicious. Pizza was sausage & broccoletti, one of our faves -- it was a little underdone, probably because they were slammed. Still, a fine time. We're glad Spacca is doing well, and we're looking forward to ten more years! read more

One of the best pizzas in the city! Perfect Neapolitan style pizzas, daily arancini specials, and a great neighborhood/family friendly restaurant. read more

Simply great pizza. It's honestly one of my favorites in Chicago. Great, authentic Napoli-style pizza.

We were craving Neapolitan style pizza and didn't want to travel far from home. On a whim, we decided to order two pizzas for takeout - we opted for the Enzo and the Fiorentina. The Enzo was good, the Fiorentina was the star of the show! The only thing I wish we would have known is that the pizzas do not come pre-cut. We wanted to picnic in the park, but quickly realized we had no means to slice the pizzas. Even after having to drive home in order to enjoy, the pies were still delicious! Can't wait to go back. read more

Friendly staff that gave good suggestions. Had the Margherita pizza and and the aperol spritz. Both were delicious. Highly recommend.

Would recommend! Had three different pizzas and all had nice chewy charred edge crust Ingredient combos worked very well together Started with the octopus & bean appetizer. The best octopus I have ever had (including Portugal, Spain, etc) it had nice grill marks yet perfectly tender. Was too hungry to even think about a photo Ambience and service were also great read more

Perfection ! As good as advertised folks !! The best Italian style pizza around ! Great service , great atmosphere and great overall experience. read more

This is what pizza is supposed to be! Octopus salad is amazing. I wish I lived closer!

This is no doubt a 5-star restaurant that basically serves just pizza. When it comes to an ultimate pizza experience, Spacca Napoli delivers with the flavors of Italy. Actually they are as close to Italy as you can come with their ingredients (Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Flour) and pizza ovens being delivered from Italia. We finally made it to Spacca to celebrate my wife's birthday. She made a great choice as we were both super Impressed. It was packed on a Sunday summer night as they are serving hundreds of people. Overall they have an impressive operation and what I consider a Michelin style experience. We will definitely be returning read more

One of my new go to Pizza spots in Chicago is Spacca Napoli. It's a casual Neapolitan pizzeria located in the Ravenswood neighborhood, and kicking things off with their burrata that is imported all the way Puglia, Italyand you might as well get a Peroni to set the lunch vibes. Moving onto the main attractions was the special Prosucito and Fig pizza with mascarpone and Gorgonzola cream, this was something I didn't know I needed. Lastly their most popular pizza which is the Diavola with Soppressata. read more

Spacca Napoli has been churning out great pizza for years and we finally had a chance to visit. We walked in without reservations early on a Friday evening and the place was already packed - luckily, we were able to get seated! We ordered the arancini and two pizzas, the pistachio and the truffle/mushroom pizza. The arancini were crispy and tasty, a perfect appetizer for the pizzas. The pistachio pizza blew my mind - it was one of the best pizzas I've had. The creamy/nutty/slightly sweet pistachio base balanced the savory sausage and cheese. The CRUST though, the sign of a great pizza is when you eat the entire crust and can't stop commenting on how delicious it is. We will definitely be back! read more

This is probably the most authentic Neapolitan pizza that I've had in Chicago. Spacca Napoli makes you feel like you're actually in Naples with the pizza making process in view. There's a choice of indoor or outdoor seating and usually a bit of a wait during busy times. I ordered some of the daily specials online, and they called and told me they were out. So they let me choose some substitutes and basically took off the cost of almost the whole meal. The guy in charge was super friendly and accommodating and offered a free pizza, which I'm so glad I got to try. Overall, highly recommend! read more

I loved everything about this restaurant. Outdoor seating was so pretty, pizza & salad was great and the service was perfect. Dining room was beautiful with vibrant vibe. I'm definitely going back. read more
