Spacca Napoli (Chicago)

One of new favorites in Chicago!

Spacca Napoli is a family-owned Italian restaurant specialized in Neapolitan-style pizza. They have their own wood-fired brick oven used to make pizza and bread. Spacca Napolis is located in the Ravenswood neighborhood, a few blocks from the Montrose brown-line stop.

I had the Ubriaca (one of the daily specials) which was an olive-oil based (no tomato sauce) wine-fermented cheese and prosciutto pizza. It was really tasty: the dough was thin, chewy and nicely toasted and the ingredients very flavorful. Many of the other options had fresh basil which I got to try from a friend's pizza and would also recommend.

The restaurant is well lit and comfortable and service was very attentive. Expect to wait in line, or make a reservation.

Thanks to David from David's Second Helping for the suggestion.
