Stile Napoletano in Chester: Award-Winning Neapolitan Pizza

From Ischia to the Chester Rows

Stile Napoletano in Chester delivers refined Italian cooking beneath the historic wooden galleries on Watergate Street. Owner Giacomo Guido arrived from the island of Ischia near Naples before winning the London Pizza Festival in 2017. He relocated to the city in March 2018 to establish his second venue. His daily routine centers on treating food as a gathering point rather than a simple transaction.

Light Crusts and Wild Broccoli

The kitchen applies strict Neapolitan pizza traditions to a fourteen-item menu built around organic flour and tomatoes sourced directly from the south. The classic margherita demonstrates this restraint with a blistered crust that stays light and airy while developing a rare melt-in-mouth interior. Guests frequently order the white base topped with wild broccoli, Neapolitan sausage, smoked mozzarella and a drizzle of chilli oil.

Community and Global Recognition

Sitting outside on Watergate Street invites diners to picture themselves on an Italian piazza while sharing plates. The space operates with a deliberate focus on neighbourhood connection, which aligns perfectly with recent industry evaluations. Readers of The Good Food Guide highlighted the venue as a Local Gem for consistent execution. That same dedication earned a spot in the 50 Top Pizza rankings, placing the kitchen among the top thirteen European establishments.
