Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria Napoletana Wood burning oven — italian in Jefferson Park; the Pizza is the highlight. It gets busy, and that's part of the appeal. The bartender knows what they're doing. "The calzone was super delicious, probably the best I've ever had" — Guy Kase

Quick to get a seat on a busy night. Excellent hostess and waiter. We purchased two pizzas.
Used to love coming here, but the quality has gone downhill in every way—both hospitality and food.

“The restaurant was halfway busy on a Saturday evening, which was enjoyable because it wasn’t super loud- which allowed for us to have conversation at the table without shouting- an element I look for in a good place to eat”
We decided to meet up with friends at Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria after hearing good things about it, but it was a huge disappointment.
“Very tasty and nice atmosphere 💥🔥.”

“Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria is hands down my favorite restaurant.”
Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria is hands down my favorite restaurant! Whenever it’s my turn to pick a place to eat with family or friends, this is my go-to. What keeps me coming back is the consistency - I’ve never had a bad experience here. The pizza, paninis, and fries are spot on every single time. I haven’t tried their pastas yet, but anything that hits that wood-fired oven - especially their dough and crust — - is absolutely delicious! The staff are always kind, welcoming, and friendly, which just adds to the already awesome experience. The picture speaks for itself… do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

“My wife and I go here often after work.”
My wife and I go here often after work. The pizza is delicious. The house salad is to die for and the balsamic dressing is just absolutely tasty. We love the bruschetta and usually get gluten-free pasta with a side of fries. It is a great date night place and also a place to just chill with family. I had my wedding rehearsal there and it was a great time.

“Food is delicious here.”
Food is delicious here. Authentic Neapolitan pizza is the best in town. We also head meatballs and they were just wonderful.

“This place rocked.”
This place rocked! Ordered takeout did the Tre Carne and pesto pizzas. Got for appetizers arancini and french fries. The arancini are rice stuffed balls with beef and peas. Everything was awesome! I will be coming back!

“Chicago is cool and all but the pizza is hit or miss.”
Chicago is cool and all but the pizza is hit or miss. If you go to Italy, the pizza is all the same! And you eat it with a fork. SAPORI Napoletani has pizza like Italy. Very strong flavor, very friendly waitresses and just kind of stumbled into it. Absolutely would go again and we intend to!

“We went Saturday for lunch.”
We went Saturday for lunch. Surprisingly there was plenty of seating for a Saturday and the hostess/server was very attentive, refilled our water in a timely manner and did not rush us to order or finish. The food was perfect (we had calamari, seafood pasta, pizza, and tiramisu for dessert). The ingredients were high quality which definitely elevated the fresh flavors of every dish. I absolutely loved how fresh the seafood was and the calamari was perfect. The tiramisu was so good, we pre-ordered some for our family member's birthday next week. I could definitely tell how well kept the entire restaurant is. It was a very rare occasion when we finished all the food!! This place is a rare gem and a happy surprise for us.

“I had the Margherita buffalo pizza.”
I had the Margherita buffalo pizza. It tasted straight from Naples. It's so creamy and sauce is vibrant and wonderful. Don't wait for it to cool down. Eat as soon you can before it starts getting soggy. I wonder of placing the pizza on a wire rack would help

“One of the best pizza spots in far NW Chicago, hands down.”
One of the best pizza spots in far NW Chicago, hands down. Their Neapolitan pizza can compete with the best pizza places in the city. Love their drink menus and espresso as well.

“Stopped in for the first time and ordered a calzone to go.”
Stopped in for the first time and ordered a calzone to go. Waited at the bar, which was very comfortable, and had a few Italian beers. The bartender (sorry for not remembering his name) had an awesome demeanor. The calzone was super delicious, probably the best I've ever had. Really loved the whole experience.

“Second time to this family Owned Italian restaurant, a nice neighborhood spot in Norwood Park.”
Second time to this family Owned Italian restaurant, a nice neighborhood spot in Norwood Park. The restaurant was halfway busy on a Saturday evening, which was enjoyable because it wasn’t super loud- which allowed for us to have conversation at the table without shouting- an element I look for in a good place to eat! The Calamari Fritti was fresh, lightly battered and fried, not too heavy or greasy- definitely worth the price! We had that and a 12” Margarita Pizza- which was more than enough food for just us two. I will be back for the calamari and for our server Tim! He was so pleasant, attentive and professional! Great job!!
