When my husband and I moved from the city to the North Shore, we had to say bye to an awesome neighborhood Neapolitan pizza place. I didn’t think we’d ever find a local restaurant that could compete until we came stumbled upon Napolita. For the last 2 months, we’ve been getting their food every Sunday as a way to cap out the weekend. We’re slowly working our way through the delicious menu and haven’t found anything we wouldn’t reorder. The space is cozy, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is outstanding. Come here for some apps, pizza and a pumpkin margarita - you won’t regret it.
We had a fantastic family lunch here! True Napoli style pizza with great ingredients. Try the gnocchi. It was like pillows from heaven covered in a tomato vodka sauce (menu hack).
In my view, there is no more authentic Neapolitan pizza outside of Naples itself than Napolita Pizzeria (and Wine Bar). To quote the Smithsonian Magazine article, "...this classic Neapolitan pizza is as soft and floppy as a basset hound's ears. It's chewy rather than crunchy, with a moist top, abundant scorch marks (leoparding) and an airy 'cornicione,' the pillowy ledge that frames the crust. The steamy crust is blast-cooked to perfection in 90 seconds or less at about 900 degrees" in a wood-fired oven that has been burning without stop since they opened in 2015. Love this place! Management is outstanding, focus is on the food and the curated wine list. Serving staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. Buon appetito!
5 stars for verdure arrosto. One of the best pizza I've ever had
A bit too much oil on the pizza but very flavourful. The dough is perfect and chewy. Make sure to order fast because the wait times for the pizza to arrive can be quite long. Definitely will be coming here again.
The best pizza in all Chicagoland. Funghi Bianca and Nduja. I gave Funghi Bianca 10 out of 10 until I tried NDUJA, this one was even better like 12/10. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu.
