Gallucci Pizzeria Napoletana

Amazing experience!! Food came out quickly and it was HOT!!! Everything was delicious including the drinks. Anna was our server and she was great with a lot of knowledge about the menu and gave great recommendations. 10/10 experience, would recommend, and we will be returning!

back at probably my favorite Neapolitan pizza spot in Chicago, and we chose the perfect summer day to sit on the patio. Had a bottle of their Montepulciano which is a dry wine and the dynamic duo of the Pellegrino and Aqua Panda. Loved the libations, but the food here is next level in my opinion. The B&B salad was light and vibrant in flavor, the cacio e Pepe arancini was perfectly fried on the outside, and cheesy on the inside topped with fresh shaved truffles. Their rigatoni alla vodka is a top 5 of mine in the city, and has larger than normal rigatoni as the pasta. Gallucci is known for their Neapolitan pizza so we got their inferno red pizza which had hot chili oil and was the perfect amount of spice without losing the flavor of the other ingredients. The Quattro formaggi pizza is great for people who love cheese and the gorgonzola added a satisfying salty earthy taste to the pizza. We had a round of limoncello before the desserts which we had the chocolate cake and the newly launched Nutella pizza. It’s made in the same dough as the pizza so this was surprisingly light, chocoately, and overall I’m already dreaming of my next meal here.

Excellent Neapolitan Pizza and you'll be wowed by the personable service. The manager went out of his way to accommodate the seating we requested, and our server Angie (with real-deal roots in Naples) was an absolute delight. Cozy spot. Dim lighting. Great place to reconnect with a friend or friends, and probably a good date spot as well. Truly enjoyed the award-winning pizza. Also - authentic pizza sauce with No onion or Garlic! Bravo!!!!! Only drawback - Sports on the TV above the bar detracted from the ambience. Too bright. There's enough good vibe here without it. Overall Highly Recommended!

Had a great experience at Gallucci Pizzeria Napoletana. The pizza was legit—thin, wood-fired crust with that nice char, super fresh ingredients, and loads of flavor. You can tell they care about doing it right, especially with the classic Margherita. Simple, but so good. The place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Definitely feels like a spot run by people who love what they do. If you’re into real Neapolitan pizza, this place should be on your list.

My friends and I had the absolute best experience here. The restaurant is beautiful, service was absolutely amazing and the food !! We purposely made early reservation time and by the time we finished, the restaurant was FULL on a Tuesday night. Neapolitan pizza at its best, along with apps and the cocktails were great. We will definitely visit again when we return to Chicago.
