RéNapoli

Re Napoli Pizzeria is the kind of place that you hope is around forever. I’m a New Yorker born and raised in the Bronx, and I’ve been in the food business since I was 14 years old. I don’t hand out praise casually. I’ve lived in this area for over 12 years and eat here at least twice a week, and in all that time I’ve never had a bad meal. The pizza is consistently excellent. The slices are big, the crust is always right—proper structure, clean bite, no flop—and the balance of sauce and cheese is exactly what it should be. This is real New York–style pizza, not an imitation. It’s easily the closest thing in Connecticut to a Bronx pizzeria. The rest of the menu holds its own just as well. The penne vodka is rich, well-executed, and deeply satisfying, and the eggplant rollatini is done the

The Chicago Beef sandwich (mild or spicy) is recommended. Great tasting pizza too, nailed it with the tomato sauce, and dough was well cooked, nice and crispy, the slice was not soggy or floppy.

It's....ok. I'm from Chicago and i can affirm this is not a chicago italian beef. The bread is wrong (too crusty), the meat is dry, the meat portion is insufficient, the meat isn't shaved thinly enough, and the jus isn't dark enough. No sweet peppers offered either, just spicy. The sandwich is passable on its own but it's not close to the real thing. Order Portillo's and you'll see the difference is night and day.

ReNapoli is one of my favorite restaurant in the area. They have great tiramisu, garlic knots, pizza, and lots of delicious food, but their Cobb Salad is the BEST COBB SALAD EVER!!! Just look at that deliciousness! 🤤 I also love their tiramisu. The Italian Beef isn't much like a real Chicago Italian Beef, but it hits the spot - especially if you've never had an authentic Chicago Italian Beef, like most East Coasters. The parking is very annoying, but it's expected for that small busy area. Their online service is quick, so I'm out of the area just a few minutes after arriving.

I’m a big fan of Renapoli’s Diavola pizza — tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, sopressata picante, hot pepper oil, and shaved piave cheese, coming together for the perfect amount of flavor and spicy kick. The burrata and prosciutto pizza is another solid option. I’ve also had their pepperoni pizza by the slice; while not quite as delicious as the Diavola, I thought each slice was a very generous size.
