The pizza chefs at Gallucci are so talented that even their simplest pies earn high marks from patrons. Take, for example, the margherita pizza. Its ingredient list isn’t complicated, but it’s full of high-quality components that are put together artfully. San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh basil, fior di latte mozzarella, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and extra-virgin olive oil converge atop the tasty pie.

Since Gallucci opened in February, its Neapolitan pizzas have started to attract a following among Chicago’s foodies. Another popular option is the Calabrese pizza, which features the same fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella, plus spicy salametti and a fiery Calabrian chili-infused honey. In addition to the signature pies, the eatery also offers classic pastas—try the wood-fired gnocchi—and a couple of smaller dishes. Order the montanarine fritte to start! It features fried pizza dough loaded with tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella di Bufala.
