Neapolitan Wood Fired Italian

This was my first time at this restaurant and I was very pleasantly surprised. I like this new take on the Chipolte Concept. I hate that Pizza restaurants nickle & dime you for every topping. I like that I can come in and for one price, I can get as many toppings and as much of them as I like.
When we walked in, we were greeted immediately. That was a great way to make us feel our business was appreciated. Having been our first time here, they were great in explaining how it worked. I ordered up my own pizza with about 15 toppings. Everything from Pepperoni, Ham, Sausage to Sauteed Onions, Jalapenos, Chicken & Mushrooms.
It took about 5 minutes for them to cook it up in their wood fired oven and they brought it right out to the table. Needless to say, it didn’t last long.
It was a great tasting pizza and I like the one price concept. They make a great product and charge a fair price. We will be back quite a few times I’m sure.

My friends and I have been going to Neapolitan for a couple of years now, it has been come one of our favorite little hang out spots, sadly we were informed that the place is redoing their entire way of doing business and will no longer be carrying the menu we have grown to love, so a group of us went on Sunday, which was the last night of business for the current set up, our favorite server Brian was there is serve us and talk with us as well. It was his last day as well.
One of the things that I loved about this place was the bread, it is amazing! I love bread, can’t get enough of it, and it came with balsamic vinegar/​olive oil blend to dip it in, OMG amazing! Loved it! I have worked my around the entire menu with the amount of trips I had been there, so this time I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza, it was delish as well.
I think the name of the place is going to stay the same, but from what I heard they are eliminating everything except for some of the pizzas and salads, and it’s going to be more of set up like Chipotle, you walk in, order the type of pizza want, walk down the line and pick up it, pay and take it go or stay in. I’m sure we will give the new set up a try, but it just won’t be the same.

Maybe I’m spoiled by San Francisco restaurants, but this didn’t live up to what’s expected of a four star. The food was ok, but not something I’d go back for. I had the Tequila chicken Fettuccine. It was a little dry and not very flavorful. The free bread however was excellent and deserve a four star. Maybe I should go back and try their pizza.

OK, this place is good. Really good. Not sure how long it’s been open now. I remember seeing an ad for Neo way back when. I meant to go try it, and then it got lost on my radar. Well many months later, we decided to try it out when we were in the mood for italian. And let me tell you, we will never forget it again! Everything that we have gotten there has been AMAZING. Seriously. Much better than any of the major chain italian restaurants, and typically less expensive as well. Our favorites are the carbonara and the chicken limone. We’ve tried many things there, but these are our ultimate standbys.
The portions are extremely generous, and I usually have enough for two meals. They serve bread and dipping oil with every meal, and they even include it if you place a to-​go order. If you want them to leave something out of one of their dishes, just ask, it’s not a problem.
It’s never been super busy any time that I’ve been in there, although there are usually a lot of people going in and out picking up food that they ordered. The service is a teensy bit slow, even when they aren’t busy, but since the food is so good, and they serve you bread while you wait, it’s worth it in the end. When your food arrives, you can tell that they just prepared it for you, it’s always hot and fresh. FYI, they have a pass through window into the kitchen that can be seen from anywhere in the restaurant. So if seeing into the kitchen is something that’s important for you, then there you go.
Just try the place. Try the pasta for sure, try the pizza (if you go during happy hour then you can try their pizza for a really good price), try an appetizer. I haven’t had the pleasure of trying one of their salads yet, but they look awesome as well. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Best freaking place on earth!!! I could eat here every night! :))

Been here a couple of times as it’s close to home. They have great happy hour deals, tasty food, decent wines, and casual atmosphere. We’ve only tried the pizza and salads, but I like the menu, there are several things I’d like to try. The pizza is very thin/​crispy style. We ordered the small pizzas but a table next to us ordered the 16 inch one and it looked a bit thicker and delicious! We’ll have to try that next.

NEAPOLITAN WOOD FIRED ITALIAN IS CLOSED PERMANENTLY; «Fired Pie» is now in its place with most of the original staff members.
This is a great place to pick up a couple of pizzas for a casual dinner. Its really nice and comfortable inside and we have always had great, very friendly service. We had an appetizer, salad and two pizzas in less than 45 minutes and for about $ 50 including the tip. I absolutely recommend the Mozzarella and Roasted tomatoes appetizer, it is AMAZING!

I went here for lunch with my boyfriend on a Friday afternoon. This location is a busy place at lunchtime, but we were able to get seated right away. There is a good selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pastas, and pizzas on the menu. I decided on the Prosciutto sandwich, normally a favorite Italian meat for me. I asked for the pepperoncini peppers on the side. We were served promptly by a new server in training. She was polite and helpful; her more experienced training server was a bit less pleasant, though mostly because it seemed she had gotten to a point where she was just getting the job done. She seemed fake, didn’t make good eye contact, and the normal pleasantries of asking how the food was, asking if we needed anything didn’t seem genuine, but more forced. I guess she was still just doing her job.
Now to the sandwich. The sandwich was prepared in a flatbread with several different types of meat, and topped with cheese, chopped lettuce and tomatoes, and… pepperoncinis. Some miscommunication to the kitchen staff occurred, but it wasn’t a big deal. I just picked the peppers off. I was a little disappointed that the whole sandwich had been toasted. I like prosciutto because it is a flavorful, thin-​sliced cured meat with a wonderful flavor. They toasted the sandwich to make it hot and melt the cheese, but that resulted in a change in texture and loss of that wonderful characteristic prosciutto flavor. A simple olive, feta, veggie, and fusilli pasta salad was served on the side. Don’t forget to ask for some bread and oil with balsamic vinaigrette while you’re waiting for your entrée. The sandwich with pasta salad was $ 9. I may come back to try their pizzas or pasta some time.

I met my brother for lunch, since I was working near his work hood. This place is bright, clean and modern. We were quickly greeted by the host. As soon as we sat, we were greeted by the server. Got our drink quick and took our order. I ordered the Meaty Italian pizza. OMG, the crust was thin and crispy. Really good. Very GOOD. I likey! My brother woofed down his spaghetti and meatballs.
Great food and service, whats not to like?

Delicious pizza! I had the «four seasons» and I love it

My second visit. Different pizza. Great again.
Great pizza and good service.

Was very impressed with the Pizza, they had West Coast — Green Flash IPA on tap so that is 5 stars right there!
Make a reservation as Friday night was packed had to come back the next night but worth it all the same.

I went here tonight for dinner with my mom and sister in law. The place was totally empty when we got there, but had a few tables filled when we left. When we were waiting we had some very delicious oniony bread with balsamic and oil. I ordered the creamy garlic chicken pasta which had a very tasty sauce, but the chicken was just alright… kind of dry. BUT it was super inexpensive in comparison to dishes like this at other places. My mom had the broccoli on fussili pasta which was decent, but not terribly flavorful and my sister in law had a panini that she said was good, but I didn’t try. The food here is decent and it is convenient for after a movie, but it isn’t the best restaurant in town. Still, it would be nice to have more people come here and less people go to the chilis next door.

So, I was at work last night, flipping through a magazine, and there was a photo of a pie from pizzeria bianco. It looked delicious. Mouth watering.
For the next two hours all I could think about was that pizza, the deep red sauce, dollops of fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes and basil, fire kissed crust. Mmmm.
I, however, do not live near down town, so needed to find a closer option. Enter Neapolitan Wood Fired Italian.
It was close, they do take out, and it was about $ 30 for two huge pizzas, which I can handle. The staff was friendly and my order was ready right on time, so nice work there.
It even came with some bread sticks and dipping oil, nice touch.
No fresh mozzarella, sad face. The sauce was OK, the crust didn’t have that fire kissed quality I was hoping for, but it was good.
Overall, not bad, in all fairness I was craving bianco, and who can really live up to that?

This is the exact menu as Babbos (on 67^th and Beardsley). Just a different name.
I honestly have NO idea how these people stay in business because almost everytime I eat here, my boyfriend and I are the only customers. It’s kind of creepy… maybe they are secretly a business existing just for us. Anyway, there have been times (during dinner hours) where they have had a small crowd, but overall, it’s a ghost town. However, that’s nothing to complain about! Faster service for me.
I have never ordered anything other than the creamy mushroom asparagus penne pasta. I literally dream about it and cave in every couple of weeks. The prices are not that bad for a nice Italian sit down. They have good happy hour prices for beer ($ 2.50 domestic). They serve you this onion-​topped bread w/oil&vinegar while you wait, and it’s incredibly delicious. And you can ask them to replenish it as often as you like. I always order an extra plate just before I’m ready to leave, so I can take it home with me. Why not?

Been here a few times for lunch with co-​workers and I am a definite fan. I’ve only tried their penne with artichokes/​kalamata olives in pink sauce, but the dish has tasted great each time.
During lunchtime, for the price of $ 9.00, you get a choice of their misto or caesar salad in addition to a lunch portion of the pasta in «pink sauce». I’ve added chicken (for an extra $ 3), but the pasta tasted fine on its own. The misto salad is also a good size and has always been fresh tasting. Even though the menu describes the pasta portion as «small», to me it’s like a full-​sized entrée. Between the fresh bread (free), the salad, and pasta, I’ve always had leftovers for dinner.
My co-​workers have tried the fresh tomato/​mozzarella/​basil pasta and the mushroom/​sausage/​pepperoni pizza. We agree that the quality, taste and portion size of the dishes we’ve tried warrant repeat visits to Neapolitan. The service here has been efficient and professional. (See photos to get an idea of the items we’ve tried.)

Friendly Staff, good food, quick service and decent prices.
I recommend,
Pizzas, Buffalo and regular chicken Ceasar salad. Italian Sodas!

It is funny how once you see a review for a place to have never reviewed you are compelled to do a write up.
I like Neo, they are good, the food is fresh, price is good, the service is good, the location is great, there is never a wait, etc.
The bad… I never remember it is there.
I have had several of the pastas and pizzas and the only thing i remember is the bread. lol

So, I avoided this place like the plague for the longest time. No reason really, it just never caught my attention. It always seemed to be empty, which led me to believe it must not be that great. Well, don’t judge a book until you walk in and try the spaghetti!
The Bollo Neapolitan has been my favorite pasta so far and the steak sandwich is to die for. I’m telling you– I never order steak sandwiches and I fell in love! I’ve tried a few of the other pastas and they were ok, but the Bollo Neapolitan was my fav with the runner up being the Garlic Shrimp Pasta.
Now for the Negatives. The chicken on the pasta just never really tastes right to me. I don’t know what it is, but it has a very gamey taste. The dishes I’ve tried without chicken have been far superior in my view.
Finally, I’ve never seen this place packed. That can be a negative or a positive depending on my mood, but I would like to see a few more patrons. So, if you don’t want to wait in line at the other Italian joint in the AMC 30 complex (Macaroni Grill) or are looking for a non chain option, check out Neapolitan! The service has always been great too.
Bottom Line: I’m glad to finally have a decent Italian choice when going to the movies at AMC 30.

This must be owned/​run by the same folks as Babbo, though Google hasn’t provided any confirmation. The menus are nearly identical, though Neapolitan focuses more on the pizza and sandwiches than pastas and the selection is a bit smaller. The prices seem comparable, and they serve the same awesome rosemary bread. Even my beloved curry chicken and pear pasta is duplicated on the Neapolitan menu.
The food is just as phenomenal as Babbo and the restaurant is about the same size as Babbo prior to the recent expansion. It lacks the polish of the new place, but otherwise, I’m going to consider them identical twin restaurants. As with Babbo, the pizzas are good, the salads are good, the asparagus is good… What more could one ask for?
The service was a bit lopsided on the most recent visit. Our dinner was out before we had silverware. It wasn’t busy, but the staff seemed to have a bit of a scattered day. I’ve eaten here two or three times prior, but it’s been years and my only mental recollection are very generalized positive experiences with good food.
