Spacca Napoli Pizzeria
On Sunday night the Pizza Club headed north to the Ravenswood hot spot, Spacca Napoli. This southern Italian-inspired pizzeria serves Neapolitan style pizza—a thin, chewy crust with traditional toppings. Well, the folks over at Spacca Napoli will be happy to know that their inspiration translated well into everything about the restaurant from the ambiance to the wine list. The restaurant had, in my opinion, a very authentic Southern Italian feel.
We all enjoyed the fare and we had a pretty hard time choosing which pizzas to order. The variety and originality of the topping combinations was a pleasing feature. Here’s what we ordered:
Capricciosa (on special that evening!) – Cooked Prosciutto, artichokes, black olives & mushrooms.
Salsiccia – Basil & Italian sausage
Diavola – Spicy salami, crushed red pepper & basil
Quattro Formaggi (White Pizza) – Bufalo mozzarella, gorgonzola, ementhal & fontina
**All Pizzas are served with red sauce unless otherwise noted.
Here’s how Spacca Napoli ranked among the group:
Service: 4.08
Atmosphere: 4.25
Value: 3.63
Crust: 4.33
Sauce: 3.75
Toppings: 4.21
Cheese: 3.67
Overall Quality: 4.21
Overall Taste: 4.25
Overall Score: 4.04/5
Overall, we enjoyed all of the pizzas and I’m sure each of us had a different favorite. Kyle thought the crust was “delicious, but the toppings did not go far enough to the edges.” (As you can see in some of the photos) Kyle was the critic of the evening also mentioning, that although it’s the style “the toppings were a little sparse.” Everyone else had glowing reviews with Dan summing it up best by saying, “Good traditional Italian ‘za for a hot summer night. It’s light. It’s no Lou’s.” This fact allowed us all to have room for ice cream at the end of our meal, when we headed to Anthony’s on
