Great Pizza! Great Place with outdoor seating and extremely fresh ingredients. A slice of Italy on the Sunnyside of the street. Update: 4-28-2008 Now down to 2 stars! Maybe I was just in a bad mood, maybe it was an off day, or maybe this place should be called Prima Donna Pizza. How freaking full of yourself do you have to be to think cutting a pizza for your customers is just too much and "could lower the quality of the pizzas" Recently My extra special lady friend and 2 friends sat down to have some pizza at what i thought was a good Ravenswood spot. Yeah the pizza is still pretty good (I have had way better since my original 4 star review of this place) but the service was HORRIBLE! Okay so there we are 4 of us sitting at a small wobbly table with 20 plates, three pizzas, 10 glasses, 4 bottles, 6 forks, 6 knives, 2 pizza slicers, and various knickknacks and condiments. HOW IN THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SLICE THESE PIZZAS! When we asked them to please slice them for us at the time of ordering we were told by our server I can bring you slicers but they wont do it for you and that they yell at her if she asks. WTF. So the Pizzas come and the guy who brings them to our table asks can i get you anything, do you need anything? I say yes, could you please slice these up for us? He looked at me like i had just cock punched him and walked away. Soon our server came back by and ask if we needed anything and was everything okay? I asked, could we please get our pizzas sliced we have no room on this wobbly table and it's just going to be a mess, could you please have the pizzas sliced for us. She went into a ER like state looking for O negative but instead of O negative she was frantic for a slicer. within a minute or two arrived at our now fully stocked wobbly table. Here, she said you can use these and slice them. By this time my Extra special Lady friend and our 2 friend were trying their best to manage the montage of dishes in a mass organizational effort to slice a pizza. I on the other hand was just too pissed off at the utter bullshit i was sitting in front of to eat. WTF. So, now the owner comes by all sweaty and hairy in his dough and flour stained shirt that he's probably been wearing for days by the looks of it. With his hands clasped together in the prayer gesture of please forgive us he began spouting off bullshit about how they don't cut their pizzas when they come out of the over cause it would take up too much time and lower the quality. I sat an listened as he went on calmly waiting for my polite moment to air my grievance. When that time came some 2 minutes later he interrupted me refusing to let me speak to the point of raising his voice saying sorry we don't slice the pizzas and just walked off. What a harry fat asshole. So, if you like so so pizza that you must cut yourself while managing table space, and eating while frustrated-- this is the place for you. read more

I'm going to keep this review short and sweet: come here for the pizza. It is legitimately like the kind they serve in Naples, Italy. Skip the appetizers; they are tasty, but tiny for what you pay. The dessert seems good, but I'll have to come back again (probably several more times) to make sure. Finally, even on a Tuesday night this restaurant was super crowded by 7pm, so come earlier if you can. read more

Spacca Napoli - A slice of paradise. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Is it wrong to just think this place is OK? I mean, there are some real shining stars here. Well, at least one: the burrata. I mean, hi, come to Papa. So smooth, succulent, creamy, oily and salty and all that good shiznat. And when you slather it all over that bread... orgasmic. I would get this all day. I guess maybe it's just the pizza that I find to be just average. I mean, nothing overly adventurous... that's fine, cause I am a pretty basic guy. But nothing has really been fantastic. My friends have been only slightly impressed by the prosciutto and arugula pizza and the diavola, my usual go-to, is my personal favorite although just a solid 3. And I can't quite put my finger on why. I will give them props to how burnt yet soft they can get their outer crust to be. Definitely not a place to leave the crust behind (SINNER!) and if you have extra burrata, you should spread it all over. I guess it really all comes back to the burrata though. Service has been all over the place when I've been there - some overly attentive servers, some who hardly ever stop by. Tonight we sat for 10 minutes (not what seemed like 10 minutes, I mean, literally 10 minutes) before anyone even stopped by to take our drink order. My friend was annoyed by the situation and as a result we ended up passing on wine and apps. Argh. At least their pizza comes out quickly...because, you know, it really only takes about 1-3 minutes to actually cook the pizza. Also, to note, I have never really had any luck getting a reservation here, even with a fair amount of empty tables in the restaurant; however, I have never really had a problem just walking in and snagging a table with minimal to no wait. Thankfully I live close enough to take that chance. read more

I typically stay away from pizza in Chicago after returning from NY because it just can't compare, but somehow I ended up lunching at Spacca Napoli just 10 hrs after flying in from the Big Apple. It turns out Spacca Naploli's pizza is comparable to what you can find in NY...perhaps even better. Our very large party ordered lots of pizzas: Salsiccia, Prosciutto e Rucola, Bicano Nero and the Sorrentina. I was psyched to try the Bianco Nero since I heart truffle oil, but I don't think my baby-to-be feels the same way because I wasn't such a fan. I'm not typically a sausage eater, but the Salsiccia was awesome. Pregnancy has done weird things to my taste buds! The other 2 were yummy too..and the rest of my large group thought so too cause they all disappeared pretty fast. The service was fabulous, fast and can't beat sitting on their lovely patio on a warm(ish) June day. I also discovered they have private party rooms inside and may look into having a casual 30th bday bash here for my friends and fam later this summer. read more

I'll never be the same. Moist, chewy, juicy . . . incredible texture. Red wine, yes. Even without meat, they had me at mozzarella. Wow. A charming neighborhood feel, and my vote for the best pizza in Chicago. It's alllllll about the crust. read more

Our favorite pizza in the city. So good both in person and with take out. The burrata is out of this world. This is one of my favorite places to bring out of towners. read more

Chicago's Authentic Neapolitan Pizza! Looking for the perfect lunch this past Sunday afternoon, I thought about how good everyone says this place is. I also wanted to prepare for my trip to Italy in a few weeks, by eating something that was "Authentic Italian" Very nice interior with nice music playing, I was quite impressed with the place before I even ordered my meal. Our very nice server Katie (who has never seen The Godfather, by the way) was all smiles as she came to take our order. I wasn't in the mood for wine so I went with Peroni (Italian Beer) and to eat I went with pizza of course...The Bufalina. Bufalina includes basil, Mozzarella di Bufala and Olive Oil. Very good pizza, but the red sauce was a little too runny. I was so hungry I ate the whole damn pizza. Katie came back and asked if we wanted dessert...I could not resist. I went with the Tiramisu which was very delightful. Along with the tiramisu, I decided to have some grappa..good stuff! Great place to get some pretty good pizza! The have an outside patio, but I did not take advantage of it because it was pretty windy out, but don't worry...I will return. read more

The best Neapolitan style pizza around. We love their food and order from them all the time!

Excellent food, service is almost too fast. Hard to pace a nice dinner without having appetizers because pizzas are served within 10 minutes. Some may find that an advantage. Excellent and unique wine list. Ambience in the dining room is only ok. read more

Okay, I'll nudge them up to 3.5. The funny thing is, this was nearly an identical experience as the first time, but since my expectations were lowered, I was more disposed to enjoy the meal. And I did. My sister and I shared two pizzas--the straight-up margherita and one of the daily specials, a porcini-somethingaroni. The latter was a white pizza, which, in my opinion, generally suffer from the lack of tomatoey tang. However, this version had the porcinis, some arthichokes, and shaved parmesan, giving it plenty of flavor. The margherita was very solid but again I ask WHERE IS THE BASIL? Our pizza had two spindly medium-sized pieces and two other tiny shreds. LAME. They were doing a very brisk takeout business, so we actually "had" to wait about fifteen minutes for our pizzas. Not a problem. Later we enjoyed the tartufo dessert. The pizza is good but not great and I still think that they are overpriced. If we hadn't had the A La Card I wouldn't have come. That being said, it was an above-average meal in a warm setting with decent service, so I can't complain. On our way out, the button-cute hostess offered us mini-cannoli--bonus. read more

Spacca was a nice pizza stop for us, with some distinctive offerings. We tried their white pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and artichoke for $18.50). Ingredients were very fresh, and it was a tasty pizza. We also had their $15 burrata zuppa for an appetizer. It's not offered all the time apparently. The gigantic mozzarella ball was too much to try to finish when also having pizza but it was well worth trying and made for a good leftover. We also had a nice dessert - their tartufo - a chocolate dusted gelato ball, and it was a very delectable finish for the meal. This strip of restaurants along Ravenswood Ave. makes for a nice vibrant, renovated area to visit and dine in. I can believe it if folks say this is one of the best Neapolitan pizza restaurants around. read more

Loved this place. Just one thing to note this restaurant is not on open table but there is one that is with the same name so just make sure you are not putting a reservation at the spica know probably in London. I've been searching for a place with the Neapolitan pizza for a long time in Chicago and this is by far the best one. The service was good and so was the line. I will definitely be back there is super cool and they have a very nice outdoor space read more

There's one thing that I'm fearful of when I don't have a place in mind- that I would end up at some chain restaurant eating awesome blossom and having Miller lite! Thankfully, Yelp came to the rescue again and we landed in the lovely town of Ravenswood for some legit Neapolitan style pizza. I can't even imagine how busy this place gets at dinner time and weekends; there are plenty of tables! That brick oven must really pull its weight! The prosciutto and bufala appetizer practically called my name though I wish burrata was available. I also ordered an arugula salad with white anchovies knowing that no one would share it with me (insert evil laugh here). Now the pizza- we ordered three. Pizzas only come in one size and one would be good for 2 people to share though good luck with making a choice! As for us, we opted for the margherita, sausage & mushroom, and a special called A16 which had pork cheeks (so hard to find), arugula, and a fried egg in the middle. Overall a good choice and I'm happy to have on my Rolodex should I be in the area again or threatened to go to Olive Garden! read more

Spacca Napoli - Prosciutto with bufala mozzarella - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

...having admittedly never traveled to Naples but a seeker of great Pizzas both in Chicago and in a number of cities around the United States, many of which have been named to any number of "Best Pizza in the America" lists, it was with great interest that lunch would lead us to Spacca Napoli - the only Vera Pizza Napoletana certified restaurant in a city overflowing with great pizza. Owned and operated by Pizzaiuolo Jon Goldsmith and his family and reportedly designed to not only recreate the pizza of Southern Italy, but also their traditions and hospitality Spacca had long been on my list and with mother and aunt in tow after a long afternoon in Oak Park it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Having heard from others that since the expansion Spacca Napoli was vastly more accessible than it once was but waits could still be long due to the single oven our arrival at 2:00pm proved to be quite opportune as free parking proved abundant in the Ravenswood area and lunch service was just winding down as we arrived. With the air a bit warm and the patio umbrellas shading a few leftover patrons we made our way into the restaurant to the lovely smells of yeast and tomatoes and greeted by our hostess/server/busser Rachelle we were led to a small four-top in the middle of the surprisingly empty dining room. With menus presented and a wine list deferred Rachelle next proceeded to explain the daily specials and after a few quick questions waters were filled and we were left to our decisions eventually settling for two pizzas and two Italian sodas - one Aronciata and one Limonata, both bubbly and subtle without being overly sweet. With the oven belonging only to us it would be a mere ten minutes before our pizzas would arrive and sticking to the "less is more" approach both were lightly dressed and invariable delcious. Beginning first with the "Funghi" featuring Fior di Latte Mozzarella, Basil, and Mushrooms the cheese was as mild as one would expect from fresh cow's milk mozzarella while the sauce was lightly sweeted with just touch of acid and spice that complimented the mushroom's earthy finish nicely. While the toppings were good, however, where this pie really shined was in the crust - a light and supple yet slightly crisp and toasty ring of smoky flavor that remained slightly undercooked in the middle; about as authentic as it gets. Moving next to our second pizza, this one slightly more irregularly shaped with great pockets of air in the yeasty dough, the Bufalina - with Basil, Mozzarella di Bufala, and Olive Oil would prove even better than the Funghi for one simple reason - that ever so subtle funk from the intensely creamy cheese and the manner in which it so nicely blended with a thin pour of grassy olive oil. As I noted above, I can't claim I've ever been to Italy, but if the Pizza there is better than this I need to start planning my trip. With pizzas mostly consumed and the rest packed up to go Rachelle would next appear with dessert menus and although tempting I had plans to visit Black Dog Gelato next and deferred while the ladies opted to try two selections, the first a rather flavorless but appropriately silky Panna Cotta served with a substantially more tasty pear-balsamic compote and the second a creamy block of house made spumoni complete with pistachio, rum, strawberry and chocolate ice creams plus a whipped cream and candied fruit center that although tasty in parts did not work for me in its entirety due to the subpar chocolate ice cream and overpowering notes of rum. In and out in under an hour I will note that while it may be unfair to judge our service considering the one-to-one server-to-table ratio I found Rachelle to be both friendly and knowledgeable as she manned everything but the pizza oven and although the space admittedly feels a lot more commercial/casual than New York or Philadelphia's most well regarded pizzerias the pies themselves were absolutely genuine and delicious. As for the desserts - well - most of the "Best Pizza in America" locations don't even serve sweets...and besides, the folks who ordered them actually enjoyed their choices. read more

Let me start by saying that I love pizza, but I love all of the versions of Chicago pizza. I love stuffed, deep dish, tavern style, or cracker crust. So my review is for other people who like pizza the Chicago way, and are considering trying something different. If you love Neapolitan style pizza, you should ignore my review. I came here over the weekend for a birthday dinner. It's hard for me to decide how many stars to give. We had a reservation, but were waiting for a little while for the previous group to leave. The restaurant was super busy and there were no open tables. So people waiting for a table were standing in the walk ways. This was really hard on everyone, because the restaurant isn't large enough to have a ton of people standing around waiting. But it's not the restaurant's fault. I thought the staff was really fantastic. They were good at keeping us updated, and at explaining items on the menu, and bringing us anything we needed. I had the Insalata Mista, Marinara pizza, and the tartufo. My husband and I did not like the Insalata mista salad, I thought the dressing over powered everything else. I barely ate it. But other people at the table really liked it. So this seems like it might just be personal taste. I thought the Marinara pizza was good. I liked the crust and the sauce a lot. I cannot believe so many other reviews talk about sharing 1 pizza for 2 people though. These pizzas are about the size of a jack's frozen pizza (the ingredients and taste are nothing like it, this comparison is purely for size). I think they are single serving pizzas. I will stick with variations on the Chicago style pizza, but it was fine to try this! I do like that the pizza comes out whole, and you get a pizza cutter. I thought this made it more fun, plus the pizzas look prettier when they arrive on the table. I thought the tartufo was boring. It really just tasted like a ball of chocolate gelato dusted in chocolate. I wished I had ordered the tiramisu or panna cotta because other people at the table raved about those. We left right at closing, and were not given cannoli. I forgot to ask about them, maybe they were out at the end of the evening. Or maybe they don't give them to everyone, or at every meal. I don't know. Our 1 salad (one of the cheapest), 2 pizzas (both the plainest one, so they were cheapest on the menu), and 1 desert (on the cheaper end) was $50 with tax and tip for 2 people. However it would be really easy to be twice as expensive as that if you had wine and wanted to try any of the specialty pizzas. It's not a cheap meal, but you can tell they use good quality ingredients. In the end it was a fun dinner, Spacca Napoli treated us well, and other people seemed quite pleased with their meals. I thought the food was all fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. read more

First I would like to say that the owner was nice to me and my family. The Hostess was not accommodating at all we had a family of four and were seated at a very small table, with three and nine year old just wasn't enough space to relax and eat. The pizza was not authentic Naples, we spent several years in Italia and was very disappointed in the food and service the hostess is the face of a place and we felt un welcomed by her. Better tables were available in a big space that was completely empty but we were told "sorry those tables are for people that call in reservations so we suffered for room and comfort. The food came and we suffered again. the crust was not fermented well, the sauce was salty and tasteless and the cheese was sour. the orange drink recommend was very sweet, so in essence. The experience was not what I expected it was very unwelcoming from the moment we stepped in the door and that turned us off from the start. read more

Delicious brick oven pizza! We had a caprese salad and proscuitto rucola pizza. Both were fantastic! The mozzarella cheese in the caprese was a mouthful of heaven. My three year old wanted more. The pizza dough is soft and chewy, also a good portion for two adults. Its not on the desert menu but they also make cannolis if requested. They have ample seating space indoors and outdoors seatings looked nice as well. The vibe is warm and easy going. Good for families! read more

This hot new pizza place is at the corner of Sunnyside and Ravenswood. The Napoli-style pizza is the opposite of Chicago deep-dish pizza. The individual serving pizzas are very thin, with crisp and puffy crusts and a smattering of fresh and light ingredients. The pizza here is very authentic when compared to what I ate practically every day during my visits in Napoli, Italy. You may have to wait for a table inside or out, but the pizzas themselves take only a few minutes to create. I forgive Liliana for not waiting for me, but she is right this is a great joint. read more

After seeing this place in Chicago Magazine's Top 25 pizza places in Chicago, I had some high expectations of the kind of pie I would get here. Let's start with what I really liked: the outdoor seating is a plus, servers were nice, the caprese was fresh and simple, and they have a nice nutella focaccia dessert made with the pizza dough What was good but not great: I was disappointed that the toppings on the pizza didn't reach further out to the crust, so I left feeling like my pizza was mostly crust with a few delectable bites with toppings and cheese. The pizza also wasn't super flavorful (this could also be because so much of it was pizza dough). All in all, it was a nice spot that I would go to again if I were in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't make a special trip. read more

This is a lovely Italian eatery with great food and service. The owner, Jonathan, is friendly, approachable and really passionate about producing high quality dishes. The patio was gorgeous on a beautiful day like today! Come support this local joint- not to be missed. read more

I've been to this place 3 times now, and I love love LOVE this place. I am fortunate enough to say that I've been to Naples, Italy, and after having been there, I have a new found appreciation for Neapolitan pizza. If you've actually been to Naples and enjoyed the pizza there, I gotta say this is THE closest you will come to it outside of Italy right in our wonderful city, Chicago! During our last visit, we ordered: The burrata - heavenly creamy mozzarella - melt in your mouth deliciousness! Prosciutto e Rucola pizza - great smokiness to the thinly sliced meat Quattro Formaggi - if you are a cheese lover, you have to get this one. As a heads up, if you're not a blue cheese fan, it may not fancy you. Diavola - spicy salami brings a nice kick! Last but not least, the classic Margherita - this is a MUST. Such a clean taste with the perfect marriage of sweet and salty. This is the pie that brings me back to the taste and texture of Naples' pizza. Overall, the texture of Spacca Napoli's pizzas are spot on. Enough of a chew for enjoyment of the pizza as opposed to so much chew that you leave with your jaw hurting. Almost forgot, we also ordered the Tartufo - a creamy hazelnut gelato ball of some sort...sorry, that description sucks, but that's what I can mainly remember. I'm still dreaming of the pizza, which is obviously the reason to come visit! I'm already looking forward returning to order more Margherita pizza =) read more

I don't know how you could possibly rate Spacca Napoli any less than 5 stars. This is far and away the BEST pizza outside of Napoli. The ingredients, authenticity, flavor, and unbelievable thought that goes into this food is mind blowing. I've traveled around trying to find pizza that even comes close to how Jonathon does his, but I maintain that on my deathbed, I want one of these pizzas to be the last thing I taste. This is one of those things where I cannot begin to explain how amazing it is. You cannot be disappointed here. You just can't. read more

I have never tried the pizza in Naples so I can't comment on authenticity. However, you can certainly taste the quality of the ingredients, everything from the flour to the prosciutto. I tried the Prosciutto E Rucola, Salsiccia, and Bianca Con Bufala E Rucola. I like generosity of toppings but I thought the amount of arugula was overkill. The slices were quite doughy and floppy. To wash it down with my new favorite beer, Menabrea birra, was splendido! read more

What Italian review cannot be concluded with Spacca Napoli? Spacca Napoli is a pretty faithful to Italy style Italian pizza place. This is not your mom and dad's Italian food restaurant consisting of "pasta" and "pizza" and "Italian salad" similar to Dave's in Evanston, this is the real, true to Italy style of Italian food which is far less generic. From the get-go we have: Burrata. Fresh and delicious burrata imported from Italy - and tasting just as delicious. Do not come here and not get burrata unless you simply cannot eat cheese or don't. It's excellent and sadly most "traditional american Italian" restaurants never provide it fresh. Oh, and it's a very plentiful amount of Burrata. Get it when they have it. Salad was very faithful to Italy too, with a number of varieties of Italian olives that are not pitted - including those bright green ones. Then we get to the pizza - again, wonderful Italian style - these are the kinds of pizza options we saw in Italy, which also leads to a single tiny downfall that most people won't notice: Italian food is absolutely not even remotely spicy by average american standards. So the diavola pizza which was declared to be spicy? It would fit right in with Italy but anyone expecting a kick to it probably wouldn't notice. The style of mushroom pizza they have again, is also very faithful - and very delicious. They actually use the types of mushrooms you would see in Italy, not the kind you get on a deep dish pizza in Chicago. So what you have is not Chicago style, but Italian style - and in that sense, they deliver both literally and in terms of cuisine - extremely well. There's a reason this place has a reputation for good food, and they clearly work hard and deserve it. This is a great place to eat and takes me back to Italy just eating here. read more

What an incredible first time dining experience at Spacca Napoli! We are new to the neighborhood and love pizza! We were greeted by the friendly and helpful hostess who got us seated on the outdoor patio quickly. Truly the best pizza and appetizers we've enjoyed in a long time! The arancini del giorno and parmigiana were exceptional. We could've ordered a few more parmigiana we all loved it so much! We had our 2 & 5 year old grandchildren with us. They were so accommodating with chairs and the best kid cups I've seen at a restaurant. The margherita pizza for the kids came out fast and was delicious! A few in our party don't normally eat the crust, not one crust was left on a plate. The Diavola and a special with lamb, feta, and mediterranean spices were fabulous! The patio and indoor dining were full and the atmosphere is fun and feels like many enjoying time around the table with family and friends. Our server, George, could not have been better! He took great care of us even with the full house. This will definitely be our go to restaurant in the Ravenswood neighborhood. read more

Great experience!!! Read about this place and we wanted to try it out. Wasn't disappointed at all :) The ambiance is cute and well lit up. The hosts and servers are very warm, which made our dining experience, memorable.They have a great wine selection and the Italian beer was good as well. We had their specialities for that day...Appetizer: Burrata (ball of fresh Mozzarella with olive oil and serve with toasted buttered bread), Pizza: La Regina (Veggie pizza with mozzarella & parmesan cheese, red sauce, cherry tomatoes & arugula). The pizza crust is what impressed us a lot. Would love to go back just for the pizza crust! To end our meal we went in for the traditional Italian dessert...Tiramisu. Highly recommend, if you take your pizza seriously and crave for authentic Italian. read more

Got their puttanesca pizza to-go and, as expected, it was phenomenal. I was afraid it'd be too salty (anchovies AND capers), but it was perfectly balanced by the cheese and tomatoes. The crust was wonderfully chewy, yum. I was hoping the get the porcini and artichoke pizza, but they have a limited menu these days (thanks, COVID-19).

Took my mom here a couple months ago when she was in town. Now whenever she visits again she always requests to go back.

I'm actually kinda shocked that all these 5 star reviews are for the place we ate at tonight. It's just a couple blocks from us and we've been meaning to try it for a while. However, I recently saw it on a top 5 overrated pizzas in Chicago list. It made me wary. Tonight, however, we wanted something within walking distance so we gave it a whirl. The good: - service was awesome. Our server was very friendly, our buser was super polite, everything came out in a timely manner. - the outdoor patio is nice, although it seems like the intersection is one where people have issues with figuring out a 4 way stop and need to honk often. C'est la vie. - I had the Diavola pizza without tomato sauce. It was DELICIOUS. The bad: - while my pizza was delicious, $16 for a bit of mozzarella and sliced salami (pepperoni) on top of some dough seems outrageous to me. - my husband had the Funghi e Salsiccia pizza and it was just... bad. The sauce made the crust so soggy that it started falling apart in the middle and was total mush. There were literally 8 minuscule pieces of sausage too... you might even have missed them if you glanced so quickly. Again, $16 for some dough with a teeny amount of sausage and mushrooms seems overpriced. - my stepdaughter had the Salsiccia and, same issues as above. Mushy, falling apart... although she had MUCH more sausage than the Funghi e Salsiccia. We didn't stick around for dessert because, honestly, I found dinner so unimpressive. We live just three blocks away... but we won't be back. I'd rather get in my car and drive to better pizza than waste any more money here. read more

This place is pretty solid. They serve one of the better pizzas I've had in Chicago. The food flies out of the kitchen with amazing speed. I live in the suburbs and I could probably drive here, sit down and have their amazing pizza delivered to my table before I can get it at home. It almost makes you a little bit suspicious it is so creepy fast. While their pizza is very tasty an authentic, I do have one small gripe about it.. They don't cut it, which isn't a huge deal but while their pizza is thin and crisp, that was a bit of a downfall for my particular pizza as it didn't have the structural integrity for me to eat it without a fork and knife.
