Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Just looking for a nice restaurant in downtown Naperville. We were so surprised by how nice this place is. The atmosphere is very modern and trendy (loved the music) and the whole place seems very clean and fresh. The buratta is a bit pricey for cheese, but it was very creamy and good. The diavolo was delicious, especially if you love spicy food, and the margherita did not disappoint. Overall, would definitely return to this great spot!
(5)Mike C.
Nice, dark interior which sets the mood compared to the other Italian restaurants in Naperville. Because of the dark interior, I believe the atmosphere is more intimate and quiet, so you can enjoy a nice glass of vino without to much background noise. I don't think it really mattered on my visit since it was during winter and most people just stayed home...I guess, so it was me and a few other diners were here on a random mid-week evening. But besides the wine, they some craft beers, some on tap, some in cans and bottles. The staff were pretty cool, talking with me on this slow night. And as for the pizza...I had the Quattro carne sausage and it was pretty damn good. And they put a lot of meat on the pizza too. Nice thin crust and I had no problem finishing all of it in about 20 minutes. I would come back for some more pizza.
(4)Kim C.
Food is great...atmosphere needs to be worked on. I wasn't sure if I was inside an authentic Italian pizzeria or a run down night club We absolutely loved our pizza! The thin crust and wood burned crust was great and they actually make the crust right when you order your pizza. I enjoyed the margherita pizza which to my pleasant surprise had zero tomatoes on top!! Boyfriend got the 4 meat pizza and he loved it (the only comment is it needed a few more slices of meat) there literally was only 4 pieces of sausage on the whole pizza. Also the prices weren't too bad for the delicious food we received! The pizzas are thin but come with 6 slices. Honestly one pizza per person is adequate. I can't wait to go back and try the bruschetta (3 for 10) and a nice salad. I would highly recommend redecorating the interior, the place has no identity. And also maybe adding a real sign so people can actually find the place! Don't bother making a reservation, there will surely be a seat open. Pizzeria Neo is a hidden gem right in downtown Naperville.

Chicago?? Is that you? This place has a city vibe and I like it. I like it a lot. The hubs and I decided to hop in the car after work (which is about 8 pm for him) on a Tuesday night (cuz hubby had off the next day) for an impromptu date night. I for once didn't have a specific taste for something and neither did he. The only criteria on the agenda: WINE. We parked in one of the parking garages downtown Nape in hopes of just finding a place to pop into. We literally walked out of the parking garage door and there was Neo! Neither of us had been so it was a winning find. The inside has such a great ambiance. It reminded us of our fave local spot on the city Frasca - complete with city-esque prices. However, we ended up not eating so for all we know it's totally worth it. The pizza did look and smell amaze! The bartender was super awesome and although we originally came for wine, she talked us into trying a local beer we never had (ok it didn't take any convincing at all...sold). We tried a couple Ten Ninety brews which were awesome! I highly suggest the Wit or Half Wit (dependent on how buzzed you're lookin to get of course). That Wit is an 11%er I believe. Look out! I have heard of Ten Ninety before, but never seem it on tap anywhere locally so it was a pleasant surprise! So much so that we're planning to attend a tasting of their beer at Neo in January! All in all, this place is the bomb. We will for sure be back to dive into their menu full of bruschetta, antipasti, salad and of course pizza!

Service was good, the atmosphere was fun for a double-date, the pizza was just ok.

Would have given this place a higher rating, but was disappointed in how the overall margherita pizza came out. We came here on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. This is my 2nd time here and the first time, I'd have to say that the pizza was phenomenal. We started out with the burrata and Polpette Carne as appetizers. On a side note, if you run out of bread, you can request more. The burrata is by far my favorite. I love the creaminess of the mozzarella and this is one of the few places where the cheese is pasteurized. We also ordered the meat and cheese plates, which was very good and I felt that the portion was decent. For the pizzas, we ordered the margherita with mushroom and the Quattro Carne. The margherita seemed like was cooked too long (the basil leaves were burnt) and it seemed like it didn't have enough cheese. The Quattro Carne, on the other hand, seemed to come out fine, and my brother and husband seemed to like it overall. Will be here again, but hopefully our pizzas will come out like the first time I came.

I wanted to love Pizzeria Neo. As we walked up to the entrance, I felt myself swoon. Is that EDM (okay, we'll call it EDM "light") pulsating through the speakers? Stepping inside, you kind of forget you're in downtown Naperville. I'm not completely anti-Naperville, but nudging elbows with Naper moms and dads just isn't my scene. Neo is like another world. The walls are painted a charcoal gray, the decor also has a cold, dark, industrial feel. The clientele, at least on this particular Saturday night, was heavily female; and of course a few couples and even a family dining with children. Although I fell in love with the atmosphere, I have to be honest: I liked the pizza at Fiamme better. But, let's rewind. I started with a prosecco cocktail, which had a candied cherry at the bottom of the glass. It was a good start to a celebratory birthday dinner with some friends. There are a few signature cocktails, a minimalist beer list, but a solid wine list. Bringing your own wine? $15 corkage fee. That's laughable. Why even allow patrons to bring wine at all? We shared the Neo salad, portioned well for 2-3 people. The salad was pretty disappointing, as it was 90% lettuce doused in balsamic vinegar. The salad was lacking in all of the other ingredients that were supposed to be in it. Because we're indecisive, and we were hungry, we ordered two pizzas to share: the Margherita and the Quattro Meat. Both pizzas were good, but the Quattro suffered the same disappointment as the salad, as there was a complete lack of ingredients. I ate two slices of this pizza and missed out on at least two of the meats that were supposed to be on this pizza. The margherita was good, would have went nicely with a glass of wine. But both pizzas also were a bit too soggy in the middle. Service was OK, but he seemed a little too distracted to be attentive. I'm really on the fence. 3 stars or 4? Given the ambience and "escape from Naperville," I might say it warrants a 4, but the food was more of a 3 for me. I'd really like to come back and give it another shot though.

Finally got to try this place out! This pizzeria does look and feel like a place you would see on the North Side. I would say it's a very "adult" restaurant, although there were kids dining as well (which I had no problem with). Pizzeria Neo has a nice lounge area, a big bar, a big pizza bar where you can watch the cooks fire the pizzas up, and tables all around. The chairs weren't too comfortable, but you'll forget all about that once the food comes. Our server was nice, but it was a bit busy since it was an early Sunday evening. Maybe the place was a bit understaffed, but service was not as attentive as I would have liked. You have to ask for water if you want a drink (it also says that on the menu as well). We ordered the bruschetta. You can pick 3 for 10 bucks as a sampler plate. The mushroom bruschetta was the best out of our three choices. For pizzas we tried the diavolo and the bianco. The diavolo is awesome-just the right around of spice to the sauce and meat. The bianco had a to-die-for garlic sauce. The crust was great too. Just a warning-the pizza does get a bit floppy towards the end of the slice (I know some Chicagoans who would rather get stabbed in the eyeball with a fork than eat floppy pizza. I am not one of those people.) For drinks, we ordered a pineapple martini and a glass of sangria. The martini was just ok, but the sangria was great (and the glass was huge). It's nice to have somewhere to go to in the suburbs that has a laid-back city vibe. Next time I'd like to go later in the evening and just chill out on one of the sofas for a bit (while eating delicious food of course).

Trying something new as usual. I thought I walked into a lounge at first, low couches and small tables. They also had high chairs and small tables. Didn't feel like an Italian restaurant. We thought what the heck, let's see what they got here. Made a mistake, we thought we ordered a pasta, but it was some weird looking thing so the waiter was nice enough to take it back and recommend something else that was really good. The atmosphere was lounge-like and the staff were super nice. Maybe I'll come back for drinking experience.
(4)Amy H.
Great place! Excellent food in a sophisticated atmosphere. Perfect for when you want to enjoy pizza among adults and not a ton of rowdy children. I tried several pizzas, the Margherita, the Diavolo, and Salsicia and they were all delicious. Their pizza crust is amazing..light and airy...yum. All of the ingredients tasted super fresh and were high quality. Glad to have found another gem in the area. Hope to take some friends there soon.
(5)Thomas C.
When I walk into a restaurant I expect to be greeted by a host when self seating is not an option. After 5 minutes of waiting awkwardly while other diners wondered why I was just standing there I was able to flag down somebody to seat us. The hostess approached not out of a desire to express genuine hospitality with my party but because it was her job and nothing more. I did not feel welcome and so they lost my business. Please note, the building seats approximately 50 and less than 15 guests were present.
(1)Brittany B.
This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere is really nice and the staff is very friendly. Every pizza I've ever ordered has been great. Try the portobello bruschetta, even if you're not a fan of mushrooms, it's delicious!
(5)Samantha B.
I pass this place on the way to North Central every day. Having no idea what the heck it was since you cant see much from the outside of it, I decided to do a little research on yelp. Everyone gave this place really great reviews so I decided to give it a try tonight with Rusty S., Tim M., and Amanda S. Let me start by saying the reviews about this place were dead on. We walked in and were sat immediately. It has very modern decor with one section of the restaurant with sofas and nice little coffee tables that you can eat at. It is very dimly lit which makes it sexy and romantic, with relaxing quiet music, the perfect place to go for a date. Our waitress, Jordan, wasted no time getting to our table to greet us and take our drink orders. She filled us in on all the specials and need-to-knows about the menu since it was our first time there. She was extremely knowledgable. I asked a lot of questions because the menu had many terms for food I had never heard of before. She was able to answer everything I asked. Great job, Jordan! More on her later... We started with the meatballs as an appetizer. Im drooling just imagining them. As I've stated in other reviews, my husband is from New Jersey and he knows good meatballs. THESE were GREAT meatballs! The appetizer comes with three large juicy meatballs covered in a thick, onion-y, garlic-y, basil-y, marinara and three pieces of italian bread. All for $9. It is good to share between two people, although my husband and I found ourselves debating over who would get to eat the third meatball. Next, we ordered the margherita pizza and the diavolo pizza. These are legit pizzas. Im talking authentic napolean style pizzas. They are 12 inches round. You could definitely share one between two people but since it was our first time we splurged and ordered two different kinds. I would highly recommend ordering one white sauce pizza and one red sauce pizza. Thats really all they have on the menu so dont go there expecting italian like chicken parm or pasta dishes. You will be disappointed. You can order bruschetta, pizza, salads, or you can order a platter with different kinds of meats, cheese, and olives that you choose from another smaller menu. Really thats all they need. The menu was limited but I love that. The things they do have they do VERY WELL. Why do you need anymore? I also ordered the sangria because Jordan, our waitress recommended it. She says it is their own special house sangria. It was definitely special. For $8, she poured me a huge glass with wonderful, fresh fruit. We were there for awhile and Jordan was just awesome. She didnt rush us and she was great about refills and removing finished dishes from our table in a timely manner. I will definitely be back. I loved the atmosphere, I loved the food, I loved the prices, and the staff were great. My only complaint is that I didnt try this place sooner!!

I've been eyeing this place since they opened and the other night the kids wanted pizza...again. Big fans of Neapolitan Pizza and already spoiled by some of the best in the city of Chicago, (SpaccaNapoli), we always welcome something decent in the suburbs. Thankfully Neo is a nice addition to the downtown Naperville restaurant roster. Decor is cool. Very minimalist and not what you might think a pizza restaurant would look like. Thank Zeus for progress! Service is ample and attentive. There were many people behind the pizza bench and all made pizza at one time or another for the hour and 20 we were there. Whatever. Pizza was very good. We had the Margherita and the Salsiccia. A salumi board to start as well as a well dressed Caesar sale. All really tasty. I like it. Give it a whirl.
(4)Timothy M.
This location has had multiple businesses in the past few years but I hope Neo is the last. It may be hard to notice because it blends in but you can smell the pizza from the outside. We had dinner with Samantha B and Rusty S. Those two are on military time and got there 30 minutes early to enjoy an appetizer alone. They loved the meatballs, so we had to try those. Those were pretty good, three came in the order with three pieces of bread. For dinner, we shared two pizzas. We got margherita and salsicia. We had them cooked well done because we prefer the pizza a little crispy. The margherita was pretty typical but I prefer the Bianco pizzas. The salsicia, however, was outstanding. The mix of the sausage and sweet grilled onions made a perfect blend on the oil based sauce. I could go for another one right now actually....... I can't comment on any drinks although the prices seemed comparable to possibly a little high. The menu is limited to mainly pizza and bruschetta, so make sure that is what you are in the mood for and check out Neo.
(4)Alexis C.
The server was extremely kind and explained everything about the menu before I ordered. The pizza, however, was only okay. The margarita pizza came with five small pieces of basil and the diavolo pizza had very tiny pieces of meat. The pizzas were on the oily side but it was still pretty good. I asked for arugula on the side to balance out the oiliness and that made it a little better. Overall, it was good but I wouldn't go back.
(4)Amy R.
Napervillians, please. Tell me. Where is the good pizza? Where is the good brunch? Where is the good ANYTHING I MISS FROM LIVING IN CHICAGO. It's been two years that we've lived out here and try as I might, I can't. I can't comment on Neo's interior, which seems awesome and we'll definitely go back to investigate on a night when I'm not in yoga pants by 8pm (holla at your social liiiife!). We got takeout. With so many amazing yelp reviews - I was certain this was finally it. FINALLY, DELICIOUS SUBURBAN PIZZA. The pizza was a solid 3-stars. We got a margherita pizza and a meatsplosion pizza for my carnivorous husband (side note: Neo does not call this a meatsplosion. they are classy. I dubbed it said 'splosion after I opened the box and saw the generous smattering o' meat). The sauce is whatever, the crust was soft and thin - if it had been crisp, I woulda been a happy gal. The toppings were delicious - even the meatstravaganza was tasty and weirdly not overwhelming - but the crust was so soggy. Bummer. We also got the burrata antipasti - it's noted on the menu as "market price" which is a little intimidating, but we went for it (it wasn't that bad, price wise). They packaged it SO well for takeout, I was amazed. The burrata was rich, creamy, and a generous portion, on a bed of crisp arugula, accompanied by a delicious, almost lemony olive oil and a stack of perfectly charred toasts. We assembled our crostinis and dug in to PURE HEAVEN. It was easily the best mozz I have ever had and the accompaniments were perfection. Husband ordered a trio of additional crostinis that were also amazing - the funghi, the prosciutto, and the rapini (this being the most impressive, seeing as they got my husband to eat broccoli rabe, happily). I would go back and try dining in, or drinks and apps, or maybe even give the pizza one more try... I guess. I wanna eat that burrata for every meal of the rest of my life, I'll say that much. Now someone find me a delicious suburban pizza and Philly cheesesteak, or I'm moving back to Avondale.

I don't want to turn this into a pity party or anything, but it can be kinda rough being a late 20-something in suburbia. Most of my friends either live in the city and would have to be dragged kicking and screaming out the 'burbs, or are are married and closer to (or past) retirement age, married, and not really up for the mildly wild nights that this feral female sometimes craves. **The exception being Andres D... who happens to be stuck somewhere in the middle with me and deserves some major recognition for letting me drag him around all the time. So anyway, I often get the itch to go out to hip, new places but at the same time I don't always want to have to drive to the city to get a taste of the trendy (which is essential for wannabe suburban hipsters like myself), but luckily I'm a resourceful suburbanite who keeps a watchful eye on anything that could qualify as the next big thing in the 'burbs, and that's exactly how I came upon Pizzeria Neo. First off, it should be said that this is by far and away the hippest and least doupie (douche-y + yuppie) place in downtown Naperville. It was actually ultra chic... so much so that I actually almost regretted not wearing make-up or clean clothes, but lucky for me it's pretty super dark in here so I think I still looked semi-human and it also spelled like Neopolitan pizza heaven so I'm fairly certain whatever odor I may or may not have had on my was masked by the market fresh burrata on special that night. Right away I was excited to see that they had a real-deal cocktail selection, nice but still affordable wines and pretty great craft beer selection, although they only serve in bottles at the moment. I went with Dark Horse raspberry ale and have zero regrets beyond that I ended up ordering two and probably could have been fine with one based on how close I came to peeing my pantalones on the way home. You MUST get: Classic Margherita pizza Whatever their special pizza is that night The bruschetta sampler with the eggplant, red pepper, and olive toppers. The veggie meatball - tremendously good A side of olives (they have several different kinds, of which I'm sure you can't go wrong) I think it's fair to say that if this place remained exactly as it is and were plucked from the 'burbs and placed in the city, it would be packed. To the brim. Every night. I love that they have a cocktail bar and a bruschetta bar located in near the brick, wood-fired oven. I think it's a nice intimate alternative to sitting at the booze bar because you don't feel obligated to chit chat with people next to you because instead you're way busy scarfing down 3 different types of artisanal bruschetta. We also indulged in the mixed grilled vegetable small plate which turned out to be a vegetarian 'meatball' made with breaded, baked eggplant that was redonk. We were going to get one of their salads to share between my party of three, but then didn't because... well, because pizza. Why would I get a salad when I could get TWO pizzas instead? No brainer there. So we went with the classic Margherita which that was my hands-down favorite and totally what I'll be scarfing down without sharing next time, and also the special market-fresh burrata pizza with arugula and other healthy stuff. The special pizza was the favorite of both my dining partners, which worked out perfectly as it distracted them from how much of the margherita pizza I was eating.

Food at Neo's is fabulous! The staff is very nice and we were served quickly. Definitely will come back.

I met a friend here for dinner on a Friday night at 6pm - parking was more difficult than anything else, though I lucked out and scored a spot after a spin through the lot next door. In visiting the downtown Naperville area, I spotted this place one night and thought it was a classy bar, or higher end restaurant because it appears that way from the outside. It's not. It's a pretty classy pizza joint...ok, not joint but it's classy! After looking at reviews I wanted to give it a try. 6pm on a Friday the place was pretty dead so that's always a good thing, especially for this area. Our server suggested the burrata as an appetizer (many others here speak of this amazing dish as well) We didn't know it was a $16 appetizer, and that it was more than our meal but....it was worth it! It was amazing!!! I'm half Italian and I've never even heard of this dish...the cheese reminded me of scrambled eggs but it was different and I'm all about different when dining out so it was fine. My friend ordered wine and I ordered the sangria - which comes in white, red, and rose. White the sweetest, and rose the least sweetest so I opted for red. It was good. For dinner we split a margarita pizza - it was just perfect. The service was decent, the atmosphere was nice and modern, so I'd be willing to check this place out again.

We walked in Pizzaria Neo early in the afternoon. It was early and we were the second or third to take a table. I have been on a quest to find the pizza closest to the Neapolitan pizzas of Napes, so every time I see an ad for this type of pizza I try to visit. The restaurant/bar is very clean, but comes with a musty smell when we entered. We really liked the service and the server was very knowledgeable with the menu and great beer and wine selection. The food was average and had a good taste, but did scream as being Neapolitan Authentic, Neopolitan pizza has imperfections, gas bubbles in the dough, etc, while this pizza was too perfect and while we saw that the restaurant had a wood fired stove, the pizza flavor did not reflect this. Give it a go if you are into trendy bars, but was outside of our taste.

I know Chicago is known for its deep dish, or who can forget and pass up Portilos? Those are for sure staples that can't be forgotten. However, I gotta hand it to this place. The pizza, freshly made, certainly hit the spot for our group. They were, of course, skeptical when I suggested we try it. But, thankfully, there was nothing but positive feedback after we left for the night. Staff was pleasant, and very hospitable. The food came timely. Appetizers were delicious and pizzas were on point. This was a great find while spending our time in the area.
(5)Caroline A.
I stopped by with a friend for a quick lunch. We sat outside and the food and the weather were delicious. I ordered the Neo salad which had just the right amount of meat vs. lettuce. The salad was filling and was not padded with too much lettuce at all. The waiter was friendly and happy to help. I'd recommend this place anywhere and anytime.
(5)Tammy L.
I had lunch here with coworkers once and really enjoyed my margherita pizza. That's always my litmus test at a new Neapolitan-style place. If they can't do margherita, there's pretty much no point in trying any of the others, in my opinion. It's kind of like basic eggs at a breakfast place. Anyway, the margherita was very good here and I would gladly eat it again. We also shared the artichoke, eggplant and chicken (I think) bruschetta, and they were tasty (though I didn't actually try the chicken bc I don't eat meat). Service was friendly, but a little slow, even though the place was pretty dead that day. There may have been 1 or 2 other tables occupied in the entire place. I do not recommend getting the pizza carryout if you like your crust crispy. This kind of pizza is really best eaten right when it comes to the table. If you take it home and want a crispy crust, do what I do--heat it in a frying pan on the stove. Or maybe on a very hot pizza stone. But really, Neapolitan pizza is one of those foods that truly needs to be enjoyed right away, not put steaming hot in a box for even a few minutes. Please keep this in mind when writing reviews of a pizza place, because it's not their fault that the crust gets a little soft while sitting in cardboard!
(4)Aaron G.
This place has an urban city setting. The pizza is so delicious!!! Everything is super fresh and if you sit at the "Pizza Bar" you can watch them make your pizza. Our waitress was helpful in making a great meal choice. She suggested the antipasti "Burrata" it was fantastic! We had the "Salsicia" which was wonderful too! We will be returning!!!!

Why has it taken me 3 years to eat at Pizzeria Neo? So enjoyed dining at this establishment. The atmosphere definitely doesn't shout pizzeria except for the small pizza oven in the rear. There is a lounge area with bar as you enter with leather couches and chairs. The restaurant has both high top and low top tables. It looks like a chic minimalistic restaurant/bar in the city. It would have been a romantic evening with the low lighting ... well, except for the non-stop crying baby which other patrons were moving to the rear of the restaurant to avoid. I'm a mom and have sympathy, but this place does not look or feel like a family place at all. Our server Tim was extremely friendly and provided great service. We shared an appetizer and pizza. We really enjoyed the meatball appetizer with crostini. The three meatballs were very soft and seasoned well and the marinara sauce was very good. It was topped off with shaved Parmesan and served with grilled crostini. My Italian dad makes the best meatballs and these were right there! For an entree, we shared the prosciutto and arugula pizza. Very good and reminiscent of those I enjoyed in Italy. A crispy and partly charred bubbly crust topped with fresh ingredients...what's not to enjoy? I will definitely be back!

By far the best chill spot in downtown Naperville. This quickly became my boyfriend and I's favorite local spot. We always sit at the bar because we like to relax and talk for awhile. It's nice to get to know the bartenders as well. I don't think we have ever left this place in under 2 hours, in the 4 times we have been there (only because we didn't want to leave of course!). The place is very modern with dim lighting, sexy atmosphere and great music. Definitely 'Shazamed' a few songs in there while catching a buzz ; ) We always start with a cocktail or martini and split the Caeser Salad, it has the best cheese and grilled bread on the side. Our usual order is the Bianco Pizza, simple yet delicious. I must recommend our FAVORITE bottle of wine as well Donati, cabernet sauvignon. This always sets the mood off right for a good night. We have also tried the Diavolo, spicy but really good and the Marinara which has no cheese, it was interesting to try for something light and different. Definitely will be here many more times to come!

Finally! I've been wanting to check out Neo for quite a while. Tonight, myself, my step mom & step sister headed there for a "ladies night" of sorts. But before we even got there, disaster struck. I called Tuesday night to make a reservation, knowing how DT Naperville is on Friday nights. Packed. I was told they only take reservations for "large parties." I find that strange. So if you are in a time crunch or don't want to wait in the bar or lounge, beware. Although...the bar area and lounge are pretty cool. Low silver couches and tables in the lounge. High sleek chairs along the bar. And of course a large tv. The whole atmosphere is actually super inviting. Dark, metallic, and simplistic. From the outside Neo seemed really small to me. But, like the Tardis, it's bigger on the inside. There's a seating area around the pizza oven as well for those of us that enjoy watching pizza dough being tossed and kneaded(yup that is my idea of fun). On to the drink. The specialty drink menu is pretty small. I enjoyed a rose wine sangria. It was ginormous and very good. My SM had a pineapple upside down martini as well as a Neapolitan, both tasty. My SS had a difficult time choosing a drink because the specialty drink menu is mostly martinis and that's just not her thing. But thanks to MEGS M.'s photo of the special strawberry lemonade, the bartender was able make that and add a shot of lemon vodka and everyone was happy! Well played, Neo. For appetizers we did the Fontina cheese and grilled zucchini, the Polpette Carni(meatballs), and the flight of 3 bruschetta. Carcoifi(artichoke hearts and Parmesan), Rapini(sausage and broccoli), and the traditional. Of the bruschetta, the Rapini was my favorite. Who knew broccoli could taste that good?! And the meat balls were among some of the best I've ever had. All of it was delicious. We were so stuffed that we only ordered one pizza to share. It was half Speck and half Salsicia. The speck is basically smoked pork and had a wonderful arugula topping. The Salsicia is a spicy sausage with caramelized onions. Simple but delicious. And the crust was crispy and chewy, just the way it should be. 5 star food. I'll be back to try more delicious pizza.
(4)Christa C.
Best pizza in Naperville. Actually best pizza in the western suburbs. They finally opened for lunch which is good for families on weekends. The bar is nice for evenings out. Highly recommended.
(5)Christine M.
Delicious! The closest thing I've had to real Neapolitan pizza since Italy! Tried and loved: sangria, meatballs, mista salad, margherita pizza, and prosciutto pizza. All were perfect. Crust was crispy with soft, chewy core (like its supposed to be!) I can see that it wouldn't be as good for take out, but we still enjoyed our leftovers! We will be back!!
(5)Amanda S.
I was here a few weeks ago with some friends of ours and we really enjoyed trying a few pizzas! I prefer bianco pizzas but I had to make a compromise so we got one of each. The salsicia was phenomenonal, I could actually go for some right now. It was a nice mix of Italian sausage and the sweet carmalized onions. We also ordered their signature margherita pizza. It was petty good but since I prefer white pizzas, I don't think I would be ordering that one again. We didn't get any drinks so I can't comment but a friend got the sangria and said it was amazing. I hope this place has longevity! Id like to go back for more pizza or a meat and cheese platter!
(4)Rubrya G.
excellent pizza!! best little tapas and DIVOLO Pizza!!!! delish!!!!!
(5)Alison V.
Service - Food - Ambiance - Cleanliness... this place has it all! We tried burrata for the first time, and it was superb. It's a creamy fresh mozzarella ball that is cut apart into four wedges with olive oil and pepper served on some fresh arugula with grilled bread... and probably big enough for four to eat but then I would have to share with others! My goodness, it was amazing. We had Bianco pizza from the Bianco side of the menu. It a deliciously garlic white pie, although the crust was a bit doughier and thicker that I had expected. FYI - the price on the internet menu may not match the in-restaurant price. Online it stated the pizza was $10, but the restaurant menu listed the price as $11. The service was flawless (thanks Jordan) and every person on the staff that I encountered was polite and friendly. Cannot wait to go back!!!
(5)Justin C.
We are having our rehearsal dinner here. The pizza is excellent, the people are kind and on the ball, the ambiance is great. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our choice. Keep up the great work!!
(5)Chris P.
Great restaurant! Cesar salads are the best! Pizza is good and if your going to order off the salume menu I would recommend the roasted red peppers. Also the meatball appetizer is good but you should request extra bread right when it comes out because your going to want it!
(4)Anton E.
One of my favorite pizza places/ restaurant for both food and date night. Try the Buratta it's amazing, comes with perfect amount of pepper, evoo, and arugula. Diavolo pizza is what I usually get , smoked provolone and spicy soprassetta. Great restaurant, highly recommend. Service is great!
(5)Tiff T.
Good pizza , dark but nice decor & cool atmosphere. Service was fine, except didn't get a spoon for my coffee! But would go again if given the chance.
(4)David P.
Very impressive first visit! We arrived at the restaurant at about 6:00 on a Thursday and were able to choose where we were seated. We chose a high table but there were also lower tables and booths as well as seating at the bar, which was neat as you could see the ovens as the pizzas were being cooked. There were others dining but it was not crowded. When we left around 7:00 it was starting to fill up. The restaurant is dark as others mentioned but I think it made for a nice environment with the high ceilings, open ductwork, etc. Service all around was fantastic. I think our server's name was Jordan and she was very prompt, polite and informative. Her best move was giving us a rundown of the craft beer selection that was not on the menu. My wife ordered a Wobbler from Two Brothers (very good) and I had 1090 IPA (also good - very bubby for a beer). She poured our beers for us and took the order pretty quickly after we decided. She checked on us throughout and was very friendly. The appetizer was bruschetta and it was good for what it was. I'm not a fan of mushrooms but the portabella one wasn't bad since it featured a good share of arugula. The others were roasted pepper and prosciutto, which were ok. My wife ordered the Diavolo pizza and I had the Quattro Carne. We traded one piece and they were both amazing. The Diavolo was a little cheesier than the meat, but both were tasty and crisp. The sauce was also good and just the right amount - not dry at all. The pizzas are thin and individually sized, but even then neither of us finished. The pizza by itself maybe but on top of a beer and appetizer it was a little too much. We got them to take home and were just fine reheated the next day. It's a nice alternative to the deep dish that is popular here locally. I would not consider it a kid-friendly venue; there was a family there with 2nd or 3rd grader, but there isn't a children's menu and the obvious focus here is on the atmosphere and the wine & beer selection. There is a lounge area as well with couches for the social meet-ups. And not overly expensive; pizzas are in the $11-$16 range. All in all, great experience. Good for a date or an after-work drink with co-workers. Come for the pizza and ambiance but probably not with the kids. Definitely recommended.
(4)Kathy R.
Just waited 35 minutes outside for someone, anyone to come take our order or at the very least bring us a glass of water?!? What a joke! Finally left walked across the street and ate at rosebud where we were served in 2 minutes! No thanks
(1)Erin H.
I have been here countless times and this has become the only restaurant I frequent. Service is amazing, the food is even better. Margarita pizza cannot be beat....and the deconstructed cannoli for dessert? Amazing!!
(5)Vendome 1.
Several years ago I travelled vertically down Italy, tasting the different pizzas of each region, including Napoli, the birthplace of pizza. Ever since, nothing in the States has come even close to the real thing- except Neo. It may have to do that the main chef was trained in Napoli, or the great environment where you can see your pie being made with fresh ingredients! They have both rosso and bianco pizzas and different kinds of meats! You judge a pizza by the dough and it is fantastic. Soft and subtle chewiness. This is pizza. Not the deep dish crap we Chicagoans like to stuff in our faces! Also, all staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
(5)Natalie R.
Really good. My fiancé and I came here after reading the great reviews. It was strangely empty on a Friday night when we drove around for a half hour looking for parking! Maybe because it's a little dark inside that people don't want to go in the summer?? No idea. We started with the Bruscetta trio and got the rapini, prosciutto/arugula, and roasted pepper. So so good and loved that they split each one in half. Next we got the meatballs and truly, they were awesome. Coming from an Italian family I usually don't like restaurant meatballs but these (and the sauce) were delicious. We split the salsicia pizza and because I'm not a huge cheese fan (I know I'm weird) the waitress offered to hold the cheese on half :-) very accommodating. It didn't break the bank either, all this and a beer was $40. Will definitely return.
(4)Nicole W.
Very good brick oven pizza! Tasty, came out piping hot! Server was attentive and quick. Pizzas are about $12. Modern feel to the place but you can show up in jeans. Miller light was $4/bottle but an Italian beer was $8/bottle. Kids are welcome but it caters to adults, no kid menu. Great place for lunch with co workers.
(5)Lo D.
These guys are the best! They know me by my pizza. Whether I dine it or call to pick up, they get it right every time! Try the Quatro Formaggio for pizza, and definitely splurge on the buratta! So good! I always add roasted mushrooms and panchetta on my pizza. :)
(5)Jeff B.
Cool/hip atmosphere - great place for date or couples night. It's a more traditional Italian pizza, many of the choices don't come with tomato sauce, but you can request to have it added. Overall the pizza and appetizers were tasty, the service was solid, and a solid beer/wine menu; I'll definitely be returning in the future.
(4)Irfan O.
I've been here 4 times in the last year and I'm always surprised how empty it is. It's one of my favorite pizza places because of how authentic it tastes. You don't feel fat, lazy and ugly after you eat here like you do at most places. The environment is really nice inside, feels like you're at a place in the city.
(4)John M.
3.5 stars. Better than I would have expected nestled amongst the culinary big box wastelands of white washed suburbia. Actual brick oven pizzas, fairly crispy crust yet still chewy. Atmosphere loses a star. The back of the restaurant was so dimly lit I felt like we were eating in a basement during a power outage. Bring your ugly dates here.
(3)Lydia Z.
I would give this place 3 1/2 stars. My husband and I have been there twice. Both times we have had the sausage and onion pizza called "Salsicia." One time we had the meatballs and the other time a selection of the bruschetta. We did not care for the meatballs, we felt they were lacking in flavor. The bruschetta was very good, especially the classic selection. The pizza was also good, although the second time it seemed greasier. Atmosphere was nice and service was good. The second time we went (on a Monday night) we were the only people there which was a little awkward.
(3)Shannon B.
Real deal Neapolitan pizza and I'm a true New York born and raised pizza snob. The bruschetta choices are also amazing. Love the sexy ambiance and feel of Neos, makes simple night out for good pie feel like date night for me and hubby. Thrilled to have an option for good pizza FINALLY. I've lived here 14 years and have tried every type of pizza looking for something to stand up to what I love from back home. Please stay in DTN forever!
(5)Bob K.
Wow! Great place for Italian style pizza centric dinner in Naperville. We started with traditional, roasted pepper and rapini bruschetta - delicious! Followed by splitting a Neo salad, and a Salsicia pizza. All outstanding. A carafe of red wine sangria (fortified with the addition of a shot of cherry vodka) and a slice of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake were the perfect accompaniments. Friendly and timely service. Next time we will try to fit the antipasta into the mix. Wonderful first experience at Neo!
(5)Jennifer K.
My family and I dined here last night. The atmosphere is fun and trendy. The food was excellent! We had the bruschetta (which you get to choose from an assortment of types. We chose traditional and artichoke) both types were really tasty! Next we had the burratta which was a yummy ballof gooey cheese with some crostinis. Again we were not disappointed! Our final appetizer was basically a meatball (cannot remember the name) but definitely something I would order again. Finally we had our pizzas I ordered the blanco (I think) and it was yummy with cheese, oil, garlic, and seasonings...so yummy. The kids had margarita and hubby added sausage to his margarita. Everyone left stuffed and satisfied. Very delicious meal. We will definitely be going back.
(5)Mike D.
Solid brick oven pizza with handmade dough tossed to order. Hip and fancy - better suited for date nite with wife than lunch with co-workers. Pizza quality is comparable to Fiamme down the street, but the wine list and vibe give Neo the upper hand.
(4)Michael S.
So I've been here twice now and I must say the pizza is quite enjoyable. Having eaten more than my share of Neopolitan/Neo Style pizza, I can say these guys are legit. It takes quite a bit of skill to make pizza and it seems like the pizzaiolos have it down. Not a fan of provolone on some of their white pizzas, but the margherita is awesome! Will be back to try the burrata!
(4)Rich R.
Worst restaurant I have been to. First time in Naperville after a concert and wait staff was completely oblivious. Actually going to sue an establishment and a waitress for first time in my life. Brutal!
(1)Rich P.
Greatr food and great service and good atmosphere. We started with a few of the bruschetta's, they let you mix and match from about 6 different ones, my favorite was the portobello mushroom. The oven fired neopolitan style pizzas were very good, the crust was perfect and in my opinion that is what can make or break a neopolitan style pizza. I will definately repeat.
(4)Bonna M.
We've been meaning to eat at Neo for a long time and finally did. It is in downtown Naperville where parking is very hard to come by on a Saturday night. Lucky for us we got 5 inches of snow today so it wasn't as crazy as usual! We parked in the parking garage next to Neo about 5:15. We walked into Neo and it was empty. The hostess was really nice and asked us where in the restaurant we would like to sit. We chose a table away from the revolving door hoping to stay warm but I think there was cold air blowing on us from somewhere. It is very trendy looking with high warehouse type ceiling and kind of an industrial look. It is very dark, which is fine with me but my daughter didn't like it. The music varies but was mainly techno but it wasn't played too loud so it was fine. Our server, Kristopher, was at our table within a minute explaining their offerings, items du jour and giving his recommendations. He took our drink order and gave us time to look. We went with his bruschetta recommendations which we were very happy with. We all really liked the traditional and the mushroom. We also ordered a Caesar salad that our server divided among the three of us (9 year old not interested in salad). It was very good with shaved Parmesan cheese on it. We ordered the meat red pizza and the white pizza with garlic and fresh mozzarella. Both came out piping hot and were fantastic! We all like thin pizza with crispy crust so both options were perfect. Kristopher really did a great job, he refilled drinks when they were about 1/4 full and asked us how we were doing just the right amount of times. We will definitely return and are looking forward to trying other menu items hoping they're as good as what we ordered this eve.
(4)Andrew T.
Neo is a good spot - most certainly better than anything that's been at this location for quite some time. They have a pretty nice menu as well - not just pizza, but also some nice cheese and salami plates and other "Italian" dishes. Particularly some very good mild meatballs. Beyond that, we had their pizza of the day, which was their house made sausage on white pizza. Really quite good. I'm definitely more and more a fan of the white pizza. Additionally, their "meat lover" pizza, including the house made sausage again (so maybe we should have ordered differently) but also speck, salami, and soppresata was very good with the red sauce. I particularly liked the speck - the people behind the counter recommended getting the straight up speck pizza, dressed with arugula and tomato. Sounded very good. I'm sure I'll be back. This is knocking on 4-star, as it's some of the better wood oven pizza I've had in the area. Service was friendly, and the price might be a bit high, but it's not unreasonable.
(3)Alex S.
Went in here not too long ago with my wife and some friends. The place is a little hard to find, but they make some great pizza. I'm from New Jersey and I'm a little particular about my pizza (not the biggest fan of deep dish, sorry guys!). Neo's has by far made the best pizza I have eaten since moving to Illinois. The waitress we had was really knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail that we had questions about. If you go with someone I would recommend ordering a pizza for yourself, and then splitting them half and half. They have a list of pizzas with red sauce and white sauce, so we picked one of each. I cannot tell you how amazing the meatball appetizer was. I would go back to this place just for that. Just a thought, but maybe slice up those meatballs and put them on a pizza!
(5)Jen K.
My new favorite place! This place was PERFECT for a nice dinner out with my hubz, but we saw multiple types of groups there...from families to young friends to old friends to romantic dates, this place is perfect for just about anyone. The decor and ambiance are that of a lounge. They have trance music playing in the background, and the place is very dimly lit with many candles. You can choose to sit at tables, in couches, at a bar, or at the pizza bar (it basically feels like you are sitting at a sushi bar...but instead, they are making pizza. You can get meat and cheese appetizers, which I definitely recommend! They give you a sushi-style menu that you mark off with pencil, and you pick out what meats or cheeses you want. We got the sharp provolone and some kind of meat that was aged in wine and garlic. They serve it with french bread and grapes, so basically like a meat/cheese plate. The flavors were out of this world! There were several aged meats and cheeses to choose from, so the possibilities are endless. For this appetizer, it was $11 for the two of us. I would go back here for this alone, because its a unique dinner experience. Next we ordered bruschetta. They have several kinds to choose from, and for $10, you pick 3 different kinds (or all of the same). Let me tell you, these are enormous pieces of bread with a PILE of bruschetta on them. This could've been a meal alone for my husband and I. We weren't full from the meat/cheese plate we ordered, but we were full after the bruschetta. I recommend the Rapini or Prosciutto. The Carciofi was ok, but it was just artichokes with parmesan. The others were bursting with more hidden flavors. Lastly, we ordered the Quattro Carne pizza. The server told us that one pizza was enough for only one person...to that, I say NO WAY. Unless you are a big hungry boy and you haven't eaten all day, this is a fairly sizable pizza. It's about the same size as a frozen pizza, but with a bigger crust and chunky toppings. The crust is thin and soft in the middle and fluffier on the outside, like oven-baked style. So while it's definitely not as big as Chicago-style deep dish, I would not say that one pizza could be a meal for one. It was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. You can choose from two kinds of pizza: Rosso (with a marinara sauce) or Bianco (with an olive oil sauce). We got ours Rosso style, but can't wait to try the other kind. With a pizza, bruschetta, meat/cheese plate, one beer and one iced tea, our meal with $50 + tip. We had SO much flavorful, delicious food and the mood was perfect for a date night. Our server was also attentive and explained everything to us thoroughly (the menu can seem confusing at first). And two people could definitely have enough to eat with just one pizza, in my opinion. You could probably get an appetizer or side salad too, just to round out the meal (and I would recommend it, because there are sooo many good things on the menu!). This could be an expensive or inexpensive place to eat, depending on what you are eating. Pizzas range from $10-$16, bruschetta was $10 for 6 HUGE pieces, all the meats/cheeses were $5-6 each. We chose to go the full nine yards with this place, which is why it was $50 for the two of us, but we'll probably spend less next time. I would also recommend this place for a group of friends, since most of the items are set up for sharing. They also have a full drink menu, so you'll be set for some brews or vino! I will note that they do not have any beer on draft, which is a bummer but not a game-changer. My husband and I will definitely be back...and I plan on bringing my friends and family here too!

I love this place! It's a real find in the somewhat boring restaurant scenes in the suburbs. Their meatball, bruschetta, and burrata are fabulous. Pizza is also good, although we didn't really enjoy our bianca pizza. I would definitely come back to this place!

Stop right now and do yourself a favor. Drop what you're doing right this second, run (if need be, I'm very excited) to Neo and order their pasta special. It's a butternut squash ravioli and it is divine with a capital D. Okay, now that I've caught my breath... I've been going to Neo since it opened and it is absolutely fantastic. Order the Burrata to start and throw in some prosciutto if you're feeling frisky. It's dreamy. Any pizza you get will blow you away, but if you're a sausage fan the Salsicia is the way to go. End note: Stop wasting time reading this and go. Go now. Just got through my first Yelp review! Woot!

Having been here two more times (three times in one month!) here's some more ino for you to use... 1. Different pizzaolo's seem to have different handling techniques... or the dough isn't consistent. There was much more rise to the first time we were here (and slightly more charred bottom), while the 2nd and 3rd time produced less rise on the crust and less char on the bottom. Still delicious, but not as consistent as before. 2. Burrata is still delicious. Check. 3. The portebella bruschetta is phenomenal... it's a umami bomb in your mouth! Roasted red pepper was delightfully sweet as red peppers should be. Eggplant was decent, but clear loser of the three we tried. 4. The melted gorgonzola is spectacular. I've never thought to have gorgonzola on Neapolitan style pizza before, so last night was an eye opening experience... with some funghi and gorgonzola, the flavor combination was spectacular. If this continues, I may prove my wife wrong about how much we'll spend here... Verdict: Yes, yes, and yes again. Still a fav spot, but I hope they're able to get a more consistent high rise crust and better char on the bottom.

When I visited here for the first time I admit I was nervous: prime location with custom pies meant a large bill in my mind. However I was shocked after a dinner of appetizers, multiple pizzas and drinks for a large group of girls set me back only $20 with tip! I've been back several times since. The pizza crust is crisp and the toppings are delicious. I also love starting with a plate of my selected cheeses and meats. I hope this sticks around for a while!
(5)Michelle S.
I am so surprised to see such high ratings for Pizzeria Neo. The atmosphere is great and the decor is kind of swanky for Naperville, however, the food is 'meh.' Fiamme Pizza is much more authentic.
(3)Erica B.
This was a good restaurant, the barrata was good and the pizza was good but in my opinion Fiamme on Washington is a nicer atmosphere and the food is better too.
(3)Pascal M.
All I ordered was a pizza to-go, but my short time inside made me a life customer. Sexy interior, nice lighting, cool lit bar, and awesome to watch the kitchen staff tear it up. I also like the simple menu, no foolish glitz and glam, just straight forward well made Neapolitan pizza and some Italian classics. Ordered the Quatro Carne, also had em' trow' some basil and cherry tomato on it. Outstanding. Perfectly cooked, the ingredients all tasted of great quality. Wouldn't surprise me if their doing sausage in-house and even curing their own meats. Specks on the menu...I shouldn't have to say anything else. Just go here.
(5)Chris B.
This place is great for real brick oven pizza. We've been here many times and sitting at the bar you can see everything happening. The pizzas are great, atmosphere is great. I get my pizzas well done, just for a little extra crisp.
(4)Michael J.
Really good place. Waitress was great tonight. Molnar Pinot noir is awesome. Speck pizza is a must. Meatballs are solid. And then of course bruschetta. Portabello mushroom, broccoli rab were the best two. The prosciutto one needed like a little aioli or red sauce or something but was still really good. Different. Cool.
(5)Mike D.
Awesome date place- great interior and lighting. Pizza is unlike any pizza I have ever had. Neo is my favorite pizza place. More like traditional Italian pizza than Chicago style pizza. We love coming to this restaurant and getting the bruschetta appetizer with our pizzas. Definitely check this place out.
(5)Victoria A.
I can't say enough good things about this place. I've been here twice in the last couple months and it's fantastic. Everything from the ambiance, lighting, staff and especially the food are worth noting. I love the comfy chairs and low seating that gives it a very intimate feel or there are community tables and bar seating if you'd prefer. The first time I went it was a busy Saturday night, the second was a pretty slow early Sunday evening. Each time the staff was super nice and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and very cool looking. The food is exceptional. We of course had three kinds of bruschetta for $10 and the diavolo pizza, which I highly recommend!
(5)Rebecca C.
It was okay and the atmosphere was nice. The service was very slow, but it may of been because it was a Monday night. The pizza was not the best that I've had, but I'm willing to give this place another chance. I will check back in.
(3)Marlena O.
I love the look of the restaurant, very modern and intimate. We sat by the kitchen and were able to watch as the pizzas were made. The waiter did a great job going over the menu, and offered suggestions. While we were waiting for our food to arrive we were given samples of one of the many meats they had. We thought that was a nice touch. We ordered two pizzas and martinis and everything was excellent. We will definetly be returning!

Walked in on a rainy Saturday for linner (3:30ish). For a minute I thought they were closed, but did see people seated at another table and the Little League game was on above the bar. Other than that, the place was empty. Of course the weekend before school starts probably had most of Naperville in panic mode prepping, but with no kids I didn't have that problem... so for me, it was pizza time! They do have some sidewalk seating, but it was a little hot and wet for that, so we decided to dine in the comfort of A/C. Upon entering, we were greeted by New Age music giving the place a cool vibe. We had the choice of seating. Their interior had that modern look. Black leather & chrome. We chose a low table, as the high tops didn't look too comfortable. They also had a couch and some counter top seating along the bar as well as counters overlooking the kitchen (found this kind of odd). We were given a long card along with the menu which had a "you choose" cheese and meat appetizer and went that route although truthfully I had absolutely no idea what I was ordering (other than the cheese). The waiter/manager gave us some suggestions. His suggestions were spot on. I enjoyed it. Specially paired with the barbera. Decided to try a white & a red pizza. So we ordered a Bianco and a Quattro Carne along with some wine, beer and a caesar salad. They do offer wine by the glass, quartino (almost 2 glasses) and the bottle. The Caesar salad was probably one of the best I've had (actually that's not saying much). It had that bite with lots of flavor. The pizza's came (I think they were watching to see when we were done with the salad and appetizer). Pizza came nice and hot. The Bianco was nice and crispy albeit a little on the dry side. The Carne came and I have to say it was a little soggy in the middle. I was kinda of disappointed at this as a love me a thin crispy crust (like the bianco had). The flavor was good on the carne and had some spice to it. I did like it, but the sogginess ruined it to me (it was good the next day for breakfast though!). With about half the bill in alcohol, it came to over $100. Seemed a little pricey for Saturday night of pizza and wine, but we did have an appetizer, salad (shared) and two pizzas. I was drinking the barbera (2 quartinos worth) which is one of their more expensive options, so I wasn't as shocked as I originally had been. Overall, I thought the food was good. Might need to ask them to crisp up the pizza a little more. I know you can do this as places like Bricks, so you're ensured a more crispy crust. Next time, I might just keep it to the pizza and beer or even try the bruschetta that everyone raves about...

First time visit and I came away impressed. Went in last night and being NYE, was crowded. However we asked to sit at the pizza bar and I would suggest if you want to see something different, try to sit in front of oven like we did. I learned a couple of things about pizza making. Had the buratta for an app. and it should be noted it goes for market price. In our instance it was $16. For two people it was way more than enough, for 4 people it would be perfect. We ordered the Quattro Carne and Arugula prosciutto, they're a perfect size for one person or to share with other people. I'm a very picky eater and this was just perfection. Everything fresh and made to order. For families, this might be a little pricey but last night there were several families in for the holiday so if you're worried, don't be. For a date night, this would be a perfect place. The vibe is warming and inviting, good music in the background (not overpowering) and the wait staff was attentive but not pushy. If you're in the area, give them a try.
(5)Nicole G.
Another fantastic meal at NEO! Kevin was our server, and service was superb! We had a salumi platter with fresh sliced meats and cheese, the burratta (outstanding!!) and the meatballs. The meatballs are delicious!! Speck and egg pizza was amazing!! Excellent sangria and wine list. NEO never disappoints and remains our favorite spot in DT Naper!!
(5)Ben M.
The pizza here is delicious but you'll pay. I have tried a few other items on the menu but have not been impressed. Compare this place to Fiame down the street. Beware - on weekend nights the atmosphere becomes very club-like.
(3)Mike U.
First time here on a snowy Saturday night. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Things I liked, they have several different types of bruschetta and an interesting meat and cheese menu for appetizers. Kind of like a sushi menu, you fill out how much of each you want.we had some prosciutto ,salami, provolone and asiago.everything was great except one of the cheeses but can't remember which. Got a bianco pie as well as one with prosciutto and arugula, and a third with sausage. I had the sausage mostly, I'm a traditionalist in that in that I like home run inn and Lou Malnatis. Not really a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza, but if you are this place is probably five stars.
(4)Sue T.
Several businesses have come and gone in this location. I hope Neo stays. This is the best fresh-made thin-crust pizza in Nap. They make their own sausage. For appetizers we tried a selection of cheeses and salamis. They handed us a list and we marked down our choices. Price was based on how many we ordered. There were no surprises in the cheese choices -- basic pecorino, parmesan, etc. -- but what we tried was good. The pizza comes either white or red. I liked both but the red sauce had that great salty / tangy / sweet balance, and then with the homemade sausage on top - omg. I recommend sitting at the back counter so you can watch the pizzas being made.
(4)Mateo K.
Very cool place with good food. Really caters to foodies and non-foodies alike. The 'build-your-own' olive and meat plate is awesome and the pizza's are really tasty. The older man at the pizza over (presume is the owner or kitchen boss) threw out some dough for the kids and was very friendly when my 7 year old approached him several times. Very good experience and we will certainly go back.
(4)Matt S.
We moved to Naperville in August and have eaten at NEO at least 10 times. When friends visit, they love to eat there. The pizzas are fantastic. I like sitting at the pizza bar and watching them make the pizza. I have had the regular Bianco Pizza, the Prosciutto, the Quattro Carne and Diavolo. The Diavolo is my favorite pizza-it's spicy and my definition of the perfect pizza. The bruschetta is great as well. The portobello was my favorite and the mushrooms were perfectly cooked. The staff is fantastic and attentive to everything you need. Just went to NEO again last night and we'll be back soon.
(5)Vito D.
The bianco and rosso tasted really good. My test for pizza is the sauce. Simple, sweet and full of flavor without the added unecessary ingredients. We ordered the prosciutto cherry tomato and arugula pizza which could have stayed in the wood burning for a few more minutes....perfectly shaved prosciutto, fresh arugula and shaved parmigiano. The rosso came late, but this time baked perfectly with charred edges. Fresh mozzarella, best sauce I ever had, fresh basil and added sausage. We also ordered the bruschetta trio, mushroom, rapini sausage and bean arugula lemon which was my favorite. Definitely a must try. We will be going again soon. I hope to upgrade to 5 stars on my next visit.
(4)Rachel A.
LOVED my first visit here last night and definitely plan to be back. Many pizzerias claim to have Naples-style pizza, Neo actually does! I like that they have many different bruschetta options (no, bruschetta is not by definition the tomato and basil-topped version that most Americans picture) - we tried the cannellini, tomato-basil, and prosciutto-arugula - all delicious. The salads are large enough to split, and they will portion them in separate bowls for you for free if you ask. The pizza was delish - perfectly chewy with high quality toppings. This is some of the closest pizza I've found stateside to southern Italy. Decor is very sleek, makes you forget you're in the suburbs. Oh and prices are very reasonable. Fantastic addition to the downtown N'ville scene.
(5)JM C.
Love on so many levels. It's current, service was awesome; food was amazing. LOVE the pizza - traditional Italian - not deep dish or Chicago. We are going back to due their antipasto menu - like a sushi menu and you choose the meats/cheeses. Wine was awesome (did the house pinot grigio). Overall great experience. NOT FOR KIDS - in my humble opinion. Great date spot or group gathering of friends.
(5)Joanne K.
This place knows how tho do authentic Neapolitan pizza! The crust is thin, but also nice & chewy. Fresh flavorful toppings & a staff who seem to love working at their craft. We also had a some of the olives & artichoke hearts to start. Yummy! Served with some great bread & grapes. My caprese salad was some of the best I've ever had, despite being a little too salty. My only complaint would be that it was freezing cold in there - Way too much AC. Sitting at the pizza bar near the oven fixed that, though. We will definately be back!
(4)Stefania C.
I often come to Neo for obviously the great food but for the experience. The pizza is always consistent and tastes like it would in Naples, Italy. The owner Guy is awesome!!! I always see him talking to customers. Keep up the good work.
(5)J M.
Went here last night with my wife and son and sat at the "pizza bar" so we could watch them bake the pizzas. Guy running the oven was very friendly and talkative and into his craft. We had the bruschetta and two pizzas, one simple white pizza and the special which had cured beef, artichoke hearts, arugula, and lemon. Everything was very good. My wife spent a fair amount of time in Italy in college and says this is the closest she's had to true neapolitan pizza anywhere in we've lived. Crust was chewy and flavorful, balance of ingredients was right. I agree with the previous comment about the wine pour size, seemed a bit small. Only other comment would be to add some local beers to the menu (Two Bros, Solemn Oath, etc). Atmosphere is very chic but casual, service was attentive but it was early so we'll see how they do when it's busy. We will definitely be back.
(4)Ann N.
Just got home from dining here for the first time. Excellent! We sat at the pizza bar and enjoyed watching the process of making the pizzas. The chef chatted with us and heard it was our first time and proceeded to give us a samples of three different meats they serve. We tried two different pizzas and everything was delicious! We will definitely be going back again.
(4)Chris H.
Neo is fantastic. I'm shocked that there are any reviews criticizing the service...we've eaten there at least 20 times, in groups of all sizes, and never had anything but great service--I mean really friendly, attentive, prompt service. After about the 3rd time we saw her, Ashley behind the bar not only remembered our names, but what we drank! Even when busy, the noise level is never too loud...I think the place has great ambience. Now, the food: The burrata is my favorite appetizer of all time, and my wife says the salads are good. The meat and cheese plates that you can order off the checklist are great--high quality stuff and really flavorful. The pizzas, as others have mentioned, are great--salsicia and oliva are my favorites. If you're looking for drinks and a great meal in a classy but welcoming place with great service, I highly recommend Neo.
(5)Natalie B.
This place is phenomenal. I live in the city and when people say there are a lot of good restaurants downtown Naperville my first reaction is often "where!!?!" And this place is one of the few. It totally has the city feel and even the menu is reflective of that. Aside from the dark, swanky atmosphere, the server (at least the girl we had) & food was great. She was very attentive and knowledgable about what was presented on the menu. The food was so fresh and delicious. We ordered the meatballs and burrata as an appetizer as well as one of the cheese/meat trays. There were 4 of us and we almost ordered too much but it was all so tasty and fresh. They shave the meats fresh right when you order. The meatballs were similar in taste to my grandmas which I consider a good sign. The pizza is self explanatory, a Neapolitan style, but very tasty and a pretty good selection of choices to choose from. Overall, this place is going to be a huge hit once people find out about it, I just know it! Cool/unique bar area, too, compared to other Naperville restaurants.
(5)I. J.
Thank You Jesus! Naperville so desperately needed a place like this! Modern, clean, trendy and definitely not uptight like some other area restaurants. It's the perfect spot for a girl's night, date night whatever. Service has always been excellent and they really know how to do wood fire pizza the right way! Def try the buffalo mozzarella it's amazing!
(5)Adam H.
I have been there 3 times in the past couple months and I hope the word gets out that this is a great place! Perfect for a date or night on the town. Food and staff are perfect, never an issue. Sitting at the pizza bar, the chefs tend to talk to you adding to the charm. Simple, clean menu of classic Italian pizza that are cooked to order and a fantastic bruschetta options. Decent wine, cheese, meat selection.
(5)Nick K.
We stopped into this place on a whim after shopping at Barnes and Noble on the corner - we had no idea it existed prior to walking by. Let it be said that my girlfriend and I have eaten at most of the high end pizza snobberies around the chicago area including Great Lake, Coalfire, Spacco Napoli, Burt's place, Pequod's, Union in Evanston, just to name a few. This place is now a favorite, we had as good a pie here as we have had anywhere. I had the margarita pizza and she had the bianco white pizza. They were fast, fresh, and delicious. This place is very cool inside, several dining options from regular table, to couches, to bar, to pizza bar where we sat and watched all of the pizzas being made. The staff was excellent. The only downside is we live ten minutes away and it will be hard not to come in here all the time and get fat!
(5)David C.
Neo is our new family favorite. The Spec pizza is delicious. Making my hungry for one just writing this. We always sit at the pizza bar and watch as the prepare then cook the pizzas in the wood oven. My younger daughter LOVES their salad too. We've been to Neo 3 times in the past couple months...and we'll be back again soon!
(5)Nancy J.
What a treat Neo's was tonight for for me, my niece and my husband. Our first visit and I had been excited for the authentic pizza. We arrived about 5 pm- no wait and sat at the pizza bar. What a treat! The staff was SO helpful, friendly and engaging. Gino, the pizza oven dude, was so excited that this was our first visit, he wanted us to try everything. He sliced us some thin prosciutto that just melted your your mouth and gave us a taste of speck, a delicious ham like meat. Oh yum. We asked questions about everything from the ovens to the ingredients and " what kind is that one?" and the entire staff happily engaged in conversation without stopping and delaying others meals. We felt the pizzas were right sized and right priced. The cheesecake desserts were also delicious and right sized. Just enough and the chocolate cherry cheesecake was so very good! It was very surprising that the hard walls, ceilings, and flooring - while very chic - was NOT loud at all! There was energy in the room but we could talk AND hear each other and have a very pleasant conversation. Neo's made me so happy tonight; what a great experience, we look forward to going back next week. I gotta get my hands on some more of that prosciutto .... ;) I hope your experience will be as good as ours was!
(5)Michael S.
Oh my gosh, I just had the best pizza since Grandma used to make it at home. I had the margarita and my wife had the speck. My family is from Naples and this is the real thing, the tastes, the smells, the chewy crust, the best of everything, also the chocolate martinie with the special cherry and Christina is the server that will make you feel like family. Im going to deam Neo Pizza tonight.
(5)Anne B.
wowowowowowww this was really good. HOWEVER, I had sticker shock at the price; I'm not sure it was worth it. They also are pretty clearly new - they have some issues with seating, though I really don't mind (hey, I've been a host, I get it). A place to sit while you wait, or at least a place to be out of the way, would be really great. Besides that: delicious pizza, excellent starters.
(4)Justin O.
Recommended by a co-worker as a place with good food and a urban/downtown feel. The food was quite good, I'd revisit.
(4)Mocha Chocha L.
Pizza is delicious and I am a pizza snob....Ashley our waitress was fabulous, however, nick and other managers, not so much.... It is downtown naperville after all...small area, lounge like atmosphere. I would go again. No reservations, and even if they tell you they will save an area, don't believe them!
(3)jaysay n.
Amazing pizza! We got take out, the marg and bianco pizzas and an order of polpette carne. Everything was excellent. This is the closest I have found to what pizza tastes like in Italy. If you think deep dish pizza is gross (too much of everything, cheese, dough, not appealing!) you should give this a try. The pizzas are simple and fresh and that is what is so good about them. You can taste every ingredient, which is how food should be! I am so glad this place has come to Naperville, which was overrun buy Lou Malnati's and Giordano's with their nasty globs of congealed cheese. The best thing about this place is that their menu is short but really offers a variety of options. I would even go there just to get bruschetta and antipasti. According to the back of their menu, they also have a list of salumi, formaggi and contorni, which could be a fun tapas type meal if you were not in the pizza mood. As far as portion size goes, it was perfect. The pizzas are smaller in general compared to most pizzas out there, mostly because the crust is so thin. For two people, two pizzas with a side or app is the way to go. That way you can try some of everything and take the rest home. We had half of each pizza leftover, yay leftovers! I can't wait to go back and try something new!
(5)Cindy B.
Wonderful experience! Fabulous, friendly service. $15.00 corkage fee so we brought in our own wine but they have a lovely wine list that is not filled with the usual suspects. We enjoyed the very traditional burrata with prosciutto, delicious! We had sun-dried tomato, artichoke, garlic bianco pizza. Crust was perfect. Very flavorful pizza. Going back this week-end with a group...will sit inside this time and enjoy the very sleek, urban style.
(4)Nick F.
What's not to like? Mouth watering burratta .... Neapolitan brick oven pizza ...attentive service. ...decent affordable wine list. Thank you Pizzeria Neo for bringing some class to Naperville
(5)David D.
Googled "wood fire pizza in Naperville" and Pizzeria Neo came up. I have been a pizza traditionalist my whole life and have recently learned to love a more artisan style pizza and my girlfriend and I decided to give Neo a try. To start off it was a Friday night and we expected to wait to be seated. When we entered it seemed busy; however, it only took a few moments to be seated and I observed throughout the night that the staff went out of their way to make those who had to wait comfortable. Upon being seating my companion comment that it was aperfect first date restuarant and I'd agree. Great atmosphere. Not crowded but definitely buzzing. Good music, several dining areas with different feels to them. Seemed like the kind of place where you could go in dress in a suit and tie and be comfortable next to a group in jeans and t-shirt. I love salumi and charcuterie and was not expecting to be treated to a meat and cheese menu as a starter. My one complaint is that I wish they would highlight this on their website. Ordered the medium sized tray with a 100 day aged suppressta and braciola, which was not the typical steak roll, but a thinly sliced cured beef served with arugula and parmesan. More of a carpaccio presentation, did not disappoint. Selected pecorino and a manteche as a cheese compliment with sundried tomatoes and marinated zucchini. It was all served with nice crusty bread and was the perfect way to start the night. We ordered the meatballs and marinara served with crustini. The marinara was fresh and tasty with a clean tomato taste. The meatball did not have a traditional "meatloafy" taste but the meat was front and center. Now, to the point, the pizza. We ordered the sausage and carmalized onion pizza. It was an amazing mix of saltiness from the cheese and sweetness from the onions with just a touch of heat from the sausage. The service was great. Very knowledgable. Never had an empty glass, and the food came out at a nice pace. Had plenty of time to enjoy each coarse, but never wondered where the next was. We were there nearly two hours and it felt like we had just stopped in for a bit. I believe our waitress was Jordan. She was on top of everything we needed and informed us that there were two other servers that could help us which was nice to know we'd always be coverd. I have no complaints and will be returning soon.
(5)Brian B.
Have the Burrata!
(4)Denise O.
Neo's is a favorite of ours. We always sit at the pizza bar and enjoy watching the pizzas being cooked in the wood fired oven. The staff is very open to you trying new things, and are more than willing to make recommendations. Love this place and thrilled to have a different pizza restaurant in Naperville.
(5)Jenny P.
Great pizzas and delicious bruschetta selection. Service was excellent. High top tables are way too close together!
(4)Melissa K.
Sleek, trendy and cool atmosphere. The Neo Pinot Grigio was fantastic...so light and crisp, great on a hot summer evening. The pizzas were fantastic. Perfect crispy but chewy thin crust and such fresh ingredients! Service was outstanding. This is my new favorite place!!
(4)Barbara S.
Pizza was good & so was the caesar salad but they have the worst wine pour that I have ever seen. Seriously you got about 3 sips out of a glass. I would be embarassed to serve a glass of wine like that. Waitress was nice. Wouldn't rush back
(3)Richard K.
Awesome Pizza. Closest you will find to NY Pizza in Naperville. The appetizer are awesome but the pizza is to die for. Great atmosphere and the owner is engaged and an all around good person. Try it, you will love it.
(5)Wally S.
We went there on a referral, and were very pleased. The food was great, no waiting , waitresses were very friendly. It was really cool to watch them prepare our food. I will go back.
(5)Christopher A.
Neo's Pizza is a definite change from Lou's and Giordonos. Thin crust and fresh ingredients. They have a good appetizer Barata. Why 2 stars? We have been there twice, and both times we ordered a pitcher of there "signature sangria". Both times it was a complete waste of $28 bucks. I only received a half glass, the other 3 people in the party of 6 all received different amounts in there glass. For clarification 4 of us got the sangria, we should of each recevied a full glass. If you get it ask for no ice in the glasses they bring. Otherwise they give you a glass full of ice and the pitcher of sangria is full of ice...... What am I supposed to do with all this ice? Pizza came out table was still full of used plates and finished appetizer dishes. Instead of removing them the waiter placed the pizzas in front of each individual and left the plates. We asked for new plates, you would think these would be brought out prior to the pizza. We received 5 plates there were 6 of us so one of our party ate off of a dirty app plate. Because the server never returned. I can understand if it was busy, but it wasn't less than half the place was full..... Maybe there's a reason for that? Will we be back? Prob not. Pizza was good nothing mind blowing and with a new pizzeria opening down the street with the same type of neopolitan pizza this place could be in trouble.
