"Rounding out the Neapolitan trifecta is Nella Pizza e Pasta, a fantastic Neapolitan pizza place in Hyde Park. The pizzas are cooked in a wood-burning oven and have the perfectly charred crust you hope for in a Neapolitan pie." - nick allen, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Famed pizzaiola Nella Grassano is known for impressive Neapolitan-style pies and folks can even enjoy a dessert version. Her wood-fired Nutella pizza features dough filled with a layer of the hazelnut cocoa spread and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and slices of banana and strawberries. Make a reservation through Toast." - Ashok Selvam
"A Hyde Park pizzeria is offering the Piccante Pizza, a Neapolitan-style pie topped with classic Chicago ingredients — sausage, pepperoni and giardiniera — and will donate a portion of pizza sales to youth programs at St. Thomas the Apostle. The promotion ties into local interest following the recent papal election because of the new pope's Chicago-area connections, though there’s no evidence the pie itself has a direct link to him; the spot is also located about a mile from the Catholic Theological Union, where the future pope earned a degree." - Ashok Selvam
"Celebrated pizzaiola Nella Grassano has turned her Hyde Park pizza hotspot into a neighborhood staple that draws diners from across the city. Patrons can savor warm weather and the restaurant’s excellent Neapolitan pies, Bombe (stuffed pizzas), risotto, and much more on the patio. A full bar, including bottomless Torani (prosecco and fresh strawberry puree) and Peroni on draft, is also available. Book reservations via Resy or place orders online." - Naomi Waxman
"Calamari fritti, quattro formaggi risotta, and housemade spaghetti are come of the specialties at this Hyde Park Italian restaurant. Yes, this list is avoiding pizzerias, but they do serve a tasty selection of authentic Neapolitan pies. That baking comes in handy so diners can use the fresh bread to sop up the numerous delicious sauces. Featuring bar and hightop seating and a bright design scheme with white subway tiles accenting the walls. Reservations can be made on Resy." - Ashok Selvam
