Gallucci Pizzeria Napoletana

We booked for a table of 2 on Saturday, the restaurant is super cute inside. My husband got the maradona drink and we shared the arancini and inferno pizza. The pizza was absolutely delicious, we were already planning our next visit when we were not even half way through our first slice. The staff were lovely and I liked that the payment system is the kind where they bring the device to the table. Could not recommend this place more! Will be back!! It would be a great first date spot for sure!!

Finally made it in here, right after my trip to Italy! I have to be honest, it's pretty great. Got the margarita pizza and added the homemade sausage. Definitely a win! The sausage is beautiful. Had one cocktail, just a basic gin and tonic with Hendricks. 50 bucks later, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. But don't get me wrong, pricing is getting a bit, how do you say in a nice way ...outrageous! If you're bringing your whole family, you might spend over 300 on pizza but hey, if it's worth it, it's worth it! I'm just being honest so I can get my Yelp Elite status back. YES!The meatballs look phenomenal and so does that rigatoni. I'm definitely planning to return for that, and maybe bring my girls credit card. Just kidding! I don't have a girl. I'm willing to redesign this place for free lifetime pizza. Just saying. The chandeliers, wall art and HomeGoods chairs can be replaced. Let's make this place a swanky joint. Even if it's Old Town, get it? I came here because I saw the bang bang Gallucci gang instagrams! That's great. I loved looking at that brick pizza oven with gold mosaic tile on it. Perfection. Wish I had that in my loft! Anyway, the staff was cool and I'm not sure if they were playing music because I was more focused on stuffing my face with that Neapolitan pizza pie. The only place I've had in Chicago that does it as as good as these guys is Spacca Napoli. Both are real close to Italy if not the same thing. Nice to take a break from regular Chicago Pizza. When I say that I definitely mean, thin crust. Not deep dish, that's for tourists! They have outdoor seating as well. OK that's all for now I have to go, I'm lactose intolerant. Grazie Mille~

My second time at Gallucci did not disappoint! The first time I went I didn't love their pizza, but decided to go back to try their vodka pasta & it was AMAZING!!!! You cannot skip the vodka pasta!!!!! Highly recommend it over their pizzas we tried. The inside is very small, but fun & good vibes!

Galucci Pizzeria in Old Town is a pizza paradise! Their pizzas are fantastic, and the pastas are consistently solid. And the appetizer game is strong - the fried dough with lemon ricotta is perfection. Really good vibes all around - it's a very dark space, and noise carries but I think it adds to the charm. Overall, service can be a bit hit or miss when it's busy, even with a reservation you may need to wait sometimes, but the food makes it worth the wait.

Came here late on a Friday night around 9:00 pm (12/29/23) without a reservation and was seated immediately. Normally, I believe a reservation would have been needed but it was pretty slow. Nonetheless, I am happy we were able to be seated without issue. It was incredibly dark inside - this gives more intimate vibes rather than family style or dinner with coworkers after work. It is tight regarding space as the establishment is narrow but the bar in the back is a nice touch offering a large variety of top-shelf liquors. Our server spoke minimal English but was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped my friend and I pick our dish. We were happy there was only one price for the pizza but the size was incredibly small. Thankfully we only wanted a small snack but had we been hungrier, I just know we would have spent double if not triple the amount of money to be well-fed. The taste, flavor, crispiness of the crust was spot on. I highly enjoy a oven-cooked pizza from scratch. It gave authenticity to what they were presenting. I can stand to return just once more and try another pizza.

Cannot get enough of this place! Been here a few times and everything we have ordered has been incredible. Real authentic Italian food which comes down to the ingredients they use. Drinks: Highly recommend the Giada Rose Appetizers we've tried and loved: Spinach e Ricotta Arancine Polpo Alla Griglia - one of my favorites so tender Ceviche alla Napoletana - very fresh and tasty Pizza: A must have! The ingredients, technique, and oven all make for an authentic Napoli pizza. Better than the pizza I had in Italy itself. Pistachio Pesto - most unique pizza, perfect balance of sweet and nutty, highly recommend Tartufata - my personal favorite, everything about it is perfection

For apps we did the house salad and arancine. Both were good. The salad was a little smaller than expected fro $16. The center of the arancine was really creamy and yummy. The pastas were a little bit disappointing. The rigatoni was decent, but nothing extra special. The pesto pasta (which we didn't order, but accidentally got brought to our table) also didn't have much taste. The pizza here though was fantastic! We got the Pistachio Pesto pizza and the Regina pizza and both were incredible. The honey on the Pesto pizza gave it the perfect amount of sweetness and it paired really well with the sausage (though I didn't really taste any pesto). The caramelized onions on the Regina were also so good and paired well with the truffle and meats. The most disappointing thing was that they wouldn't let our group of 5 sit outside even though every table was open because they didn't want to push any tables together - good to know for next time at least!

Got a bunch of pizzas, pastas, and salads to go and it was awesome!!! When we were picking up the food there was a HUGE line at 8pm on a Friday so definitely a popular spot! The truffle prosciutto and spicy pep were to die for and don't sleep on the gnocchi!

First time in ChicagoFrom Raleigh NCCaroline and Annibale and Frank went above and beyond! WOW!! What a great place to eat! Can't wait to go back!So glad we found this place.Food, armosphere, Owners and staff... 10 stars!!!!

Glad we had a reservation for this adorable taste of Italy! Small space but large portions and taste was very mighty. Service was stellar.
