“Authentic and delicious Neapolitan pizza 👍 Two of us shared three pizzas - and it wasn’t enough 🤤 Had a quick chat with the owner and he was actually from Naples - OG as it gets.”
“This was a pretty solid spot to eat before we attended the nearby Second City show. We dined on their patio as the weather was gorgeous this particular evening. The service was good as our server was friendly and helpful. I sampled my wife's Rigatoni pasta. It's on the al dente side and the noodles were a bit different than the typical rigatoni you'd run into. I thought it was good but not great. I had the Quattro Formaggi pizza for my entree as I love a cheesy pizza. I enjoyed it overall, though I will say the gorgonzola flavor was more dominant than I would like. The toasted pistachio was a pretty nice addition. I would recommend this restaurant! Just providing my opinion but it was certainly quite good.”
“THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED!!! And neighbors say it closed in late 2025! Attached are 2 photos just taken: 1 of the facade & 1 showing the interior (empty).”
“As far as pizza goes, Gallucci has that down. I'm usually more of a red pizza fan but we wanted to try both a white and a red so we went with the Tartufata for white and the Calabrese for red and boy was I impressed! The white pizza is hard to put into words as the ingredients were so unique and each bite had so much flavor.”
“Locale carino , La cameriera che ci ha servito molto simpatica e parla l’italiano, abbiamo preso la pizza impasto come da tradizione ( mi mancavano le pizze classiche però ) Il menù un po americanizzato ma ci sta . Lo consiglio”
“Anna is the best! We love it here - truly authentic Italian food”
“It was excellent experience at Gallucci. The food was delicious, with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. Phenomenal Neapolitan pizza . The atmosphere was perfect for our party . I especially want to highlight service, was very friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. We will definitely return!”
“One of the best Burrata pizzas I have ever had in the city and Anna was really nice to us.”
“The cocktails were phenomenal. The pizza is some of the best I've ever had. The apps were stellar. Our server was also a lot of fun! I'm so sorry it took me so long to try Gallucci but I will be back!”
