    Margherita

    Bold flavors and authentic pies. This place is fantastic and the staff/owners were extremely friendly. Will definitely come back anytime I find myself in Chicago.

    Atmosphere was cute and cozy. Service was great! On to the food...I ordered the margherita which was excellent! A nice standard Neapolitan style pie. I also decided to order the pesto caprese. The buratta was good but the pesto sauce was a bit too salty. I would've preferred it without the pesto altogether to be honest. I'll definitely be back! Great spot!

    10.5" Margherita Pizza

    Before I crack my knuckles and throw down, you should know I stopped in for a Margherita Pizza. So, let's take a quick detour: The couple times I tried to make my own salsa, I started by throwing tomatoes into a blender. I quickly learned this was a noob move, because you are left with tomato water! I mention this, because the tomato sauce at Strapoli reminds me of these failed culinary experiments of mine. I'm not sure what they were going for, but the result was bland tomato water. When the pizza was still piping hot, it slid right off together with the cheese. Is stayed put a little better once it cooled off some, but still not great. Speaking of cheese, the pieces of mozzarella were fine, but in light of everything else, they effectively stood alone. The small bits of basil failed to make an impact, and it seemed no seasoning of any kind was used. No EVOO either. The salt, red pepper, and oregano helped wake the slices up somewhat, but this seemed like a half-measure. Besides, food should be great out of the kitchen, and not mandate additional seasoning by guests. Without them, the only flavor I was able to pick up on was the one of burnt dough. As much as I want to give them some credit for a cute location and friendly service, this is not enough to get them out of the hole. A well-made Margherita Pizza can be heaven. This poor thing was purgatory.

    BEST PESTO I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE absolutely no cap. This was my first meal in Chicago and I was so impressed!!! The family story behind the business is amazing & the owner we met was so kind & appreciative. Can't wait to come back!!!!

    I love a good Neapolitan pizza and this one is so good! Cute little shop with some outside seating, but feels very European. Fresh, quality ingredients and the staff were helpful and friendly.

    Pizza was great! Waitstaff was very friendly, cozy atmosphere. Not great for large groups but nice spot for two. Very casual dining, but pizza was great! Pizza could be split for 2 people

    10.5" Pistachina Pizza Half eaten
    Jim D.

    I say "gotdman". I've read a couple of articles mentioning how good this pizza was namely the "pistachina". While the pesto pizza was good the marinara stole the damn show. It taking me years & quite possibly a fucking decade to find a Mariana sauxe pie that liked. This sauce is special to say the least. Not to sweet, full of flavor, texture is light. It's just quite possibly the best sauce in Chicago whischnis a tall order in a renowned pizza town. Yes the portions are small & yes considering the size this is quite expensive but the taste of amazing. The dough is chewy but not obnoxiously so. In closing this is quite possibly my new favorite pizza in Chicago & if not it's on par with the best.

    Strapoli is always amazing! I've been on multiple occasions and it never disappoints. I feel like I am eating pizza in Rome! Their salads are also amazing. It is BYOB, so I recommend bringing a bottle of wine! Must stop place for a casual, delicious meal.

    Must visit this spot!!! This pizza is fabulous! The owner and his family were so so nice. The vibes are also very quaint inside. Don't skip out on this awesome Diversey pizza spot.

    We got so lucky on Valentine's Day - we walked in around 6:15 PM and got seated immediately at one of the bar areas. We were instructed to use the QR code to order our pizza at our seats, which I could see helped with the line of pick-up orders flowing in and out. After 6:15 onward the place was packed. It felt like a private night with the owner Marc Berec (https://www.instagram.com/marcberec/?hl=en) as we watched him craft pizzas behind the counter. Italian music played in the background as we sipped our BYOB wine from Foxtrot across the street and enjoyed our fresh pizza. The Pistachina pizza's strengths are the pesto and mushrooms, however, I would love it if the pistachios on top were a touch more diced. Cheers!

One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.

You can often find many people working diligently (and relatively quietly) so the ambiance is great. I don't often write such low of a review but the one star is for the staff. On most occasions I've only encountered the friendliest of people - in fact the first time I visited and had a hard time choosing a drink, the individual at the register was so kind and helped me make a choice based on what I typically enjoy at other coffee shops. However today I had the absolute WORST experience where the barista was so rude to me after they took my order wrong. All I wanted was the coffee I ordered and calmly explained how there must have been a mix up. In return I was basically shamed multiple times for asking for the right coffee instead of the one they tried to give me and I was just baffled by how passive aggressive the staff member was. My family and I will not be returning to this location again. Go for the coffee and the vibes but just be extra careful to triple check your order is taken correctly at the register.
