Good food comes in all sorts of packages. There's a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Illinois that is small on space but big on taste, and it's the best little pizzeria in the state.
It's easy to miss this little-known pizza place if you don't know where to look. Check it out:
Napoli Pizza is a northwest Chicagoland favorite restaurant that has been around for more than 50 years. It is truly a hole in the wall as it is located in a strip mall in Palatine between a deli and a liquor store.
The inside is so small, only a few things fit inside, and one of those things is not a table. Take-out and delivery are your options here.
When it comes to pizza, locals enjoy it three different ways. Choose from a thin crust, a Chicago deep-dish, or a stuffed pizza. While you can get any toppings, specialties like taco, chicken Alfredo, and one called The Monster are pre-designed pies you've got to try.
The main difference between a deep dish and a stuffed pizza is that the deep dish has an extra layer of dough that locks the ingredients inside the pie during the baking process.
Additional menu items include appetizers like wings, garlic bread, and cheese fries. You can also get salads, sandwiches, lasagna, pasta, ribs, seafood, and even desserts like cheesecake and tiramisu. One of the best things you can order here is pizza by the slice for when everyone wants something different.
