Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
Spacca Napoli Pizzeria
Neapolitan technique that stays consistent at very high volume.
Notable Picks
8.9
A Neapolitan-focused pizzeria where the crust is the headline—soft center, blistered edge, and toppings that stay disciplined. Locals come for classic pies and a steady rotation of Italian imports, and it’s one of the most reliable “pizza night, no regrets” rooms in this part of town.
Must-Try Dishes:
Margherita pizza, Prosciutto e rucola pizza, Tiramisu
What makes it special: Neapolitan technique that stays consistent at very high volume.
#2
Munno
8.4
A laid-back room with serious execution—Roman-leaning pizzas plus house-made pastas that keep it from being a one-trick pizzeria. It’s strongest when you split one oblong pizza and add one pasta, letting the kitchen show range without over-ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Diavola-style pizza, Mezze maniche alla carbonara, Squid ink spaghetti with clams
What makes it special: Bib Gourmand-caliber pizza and pasta in an unfussy neighborhood room.
A big, sports-bar-style Italian spot that’s built around tavern-cut pizza with a loyal local following. The best play is to keep it simple—one classic pie plus one side—so the kitchen stays in its most repeatable lane.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tavern-style thin crust (square-cut), Buffalo wings, Sausage pizza
What makes it special: Tavern-cut pizza in a high-TV, neighborhood tavern setting.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A newer Uptown Italian dining room built around approachable antipasti, classic pastas, and comfort mains. It’s best when you keep the order focused—one raw or cold starter, one pasta, then a shareable entrée like short ribs over saffron risotto.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef carpaccio, Braised short ribs over saffron risotto, Saltimbocca di pollo
What makes it special: A fresh Uptown Italian option with a menu that reads classic and clear.
