Normally we are usually on the "other side of Schaumburg" .. what a great place for some Neapolitan…read morezat! Don't be fooled by the size of Napoli when driving past. They have an outdoor area, inside dining and a larger area for large groups etc. When you walk in the first thing you see is what makes this restaurant so special, a large wood burning oven! I know others have commented on their pasta and octopus dishes, but let's be real, this is all about the pizza! We came here on a Tuesday and it was not crowded at all. A few people at the bar and about half the tables full with a few others waiting for pickup. We ordered a few drinks, while we looked over the menu and were amazed at all the different pizza choices; with sauce or without. We started with a misto salad and it was really nice with mixed greens, very fresh sweet tomatoes and some shaved parm with a light oil and vinegar dressing. It was also accompanied by some fresh bread. Great start to our meal. Now the tough decision, what kind of pie to order. After a lot of discussion and the fact that we didn't have a place to store extra pizza on our trip the next day we settled on a no sauce pizza, prosciutto rucola. As you can see by the pictures, there is a lot of prosciutto on this pie. So you would think it would be very salty, nope. The smoked and regular mozzarella really tone down the saltiness. Plus the peppery taste of the arugula really balances out this incredible pie. With six slices to a pie, for us this was a perfect amount of an entree as we were looking forward to the cannoli to finish off our dinner. While I didn't take a picture of the cannoli, it was very good as well. Overall, I am glad we were staying on the western edge of Schaumburg and finally were able to stop in an enjoy some of the best Napoli had to offer.

Napoli Per Tutti has crap tons of pizzas and styles. A lot more authentic than Rosati's as one can imagine. They even have a few vegan options if looking for these. Came in and chose a table to sit at. It's got a pretty informal setup. They can take pickup or to go orders at the counter or will take orders at the table. A few cocktails. It's about $12 for the cheapest of these. Best one is the Campari with orange juice. It's about $12 for the Marinara Pizza. Great thing about it is this is vegan friendly. This is topped with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and oregano. Is just enough for one person without getting full. The rest of the pizza styles are also good. Great place we could go to again. It's located on Barrington at Holmes. There's plenty of pizzas including something for vegans.

The timing was spot on as I picked it up fresh from the oven. A 16" cheese was $22 in total which was a bit steep. The inside was cute and you could tell this place has been around for a while because locals love it. The pizza travelled well and was still hot. The crust was a bit thicker than I'm used to, sauce was mild (subtly sweet over savory), and cheese was straight forward. It was a good base but would be better with some toppings to add flavor. Overall, I agree that it's some of the better pizza options in the area! Tip: They only do pasta and sandwich specials throughout the week.

Out of State Patron Review:…read more This Moretti's was the spot chosen with the help of locals for getting our very first taste of Chicago deep dish pizza. And we weren't disappointed. It was a gorgeous late summer evening dining al fresco in the patio, which helped set the ambiance no doubt. Various appetizers were shared, bottles of wine polished off, and then the deep dish pizza highlight. Went to use the restroom to find slot machines inside the interior dining area and a very serious Bingo session in full swing, lol. The only slightly negative thing were no toilet seat covers in the restrooms (not that they were out of 'em, but that they don't provide them at all); which seems to be a midwestern thing judging from our patronage of this and other restaurants during our vacay. Nice visit, and would come back to this location in a heartbeat.

They have a microphone and plenty of tables for your use. They even supply centerpieces for all the tables. They have a beautiful patio as well that the attendees could walk outside and relax there as well. I really enjoyed the fact that I could connect my phone wirelessly to their speaker system so I can play music during the party. They also have music of their own that they provide as well.

Never realized, of course, that they only did takeout! Ok - we wanted their "famous thin crust" pie - 14" - and added Canadian bacon, olives and green peppers to the mix. Didn't realize each topping added was pretty pricey so our midrange pie came with a Caddy price. Why are pizzas so pricey now? Lesson- one topping only next time! Ok - we were told to wait 20 minutes so went to the car to watch YouTubes (Tesla's are great for this) - but when we got this pie? Holy crud it was uber-hot! And when we got home ten minutes later? Still piping hot! That counts! We dug into our tavern cut pie and loved it. Seriously loved it. Want a great pie that'll still be hot when you get home? And be totally enjoyable? This is your place.

The attention to safety was appreciated--the pizzas were brought to the table with separate utensils. However, the service was just okay, and the server had to double-check with the manager to confirm I could order the buffalo chicken with GF crust even though you can order it online. To their credit, when the olive mix-up happened, the manager promptly comped my pizza. The food is always good, making it a reliable spot for celiacs.
