Chester’s Stile Napoletano named UK’s third best pizzeria

Stile Napoletano, a Neapolitan pizzeria located on Watergate Street in Chester, has been celebrated as the third-best pizza restaurant in the United Kingdom by the prestigious 50 Top Pizza Guide 2024.

The accolade also makes it the highest-ranked pizzeria outside of London, further cementing its reputation as a culinary gem.

The recognition highlights the restaurant’s dedication to authentic Italian flavours, which have made it a favourite among locals and visitors since owner Giacomo Guido brought his pizza-making expertise to Chester in 2018.

This latest achievement also placed the restaurant 18th in Europe in the World Pizza Guide rankings.

A Taste of Naples in Chester

Originally launched in Chester Market before moving to its Watergate Street location in 2020, Stile Napoletano continues to wow diners with its carefully crafted menu.

Their autumn menu features standout creations like The Mia, which boasts a butternut squash cream base topped with buffalo mozzarella, spicy nduja, guanciale, pecorino cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Another highlight is The Tartufata, a delicious combination of San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, mushrooms, Parmesan, fresh basil, and aromatic truffle oil.

The restaurant’s focus on quality ingredients—such as San Marzano tomatoes and premium Italian cheeses—and a perfected dough-making process ensure each pizza delivers an authentic Neapolitan experience.

Owner Giacomo Guido expressed pride in the achievement:

“We’re incredibly proud to bring Chester this unique taste of Naples. Our commitment to sourcing the finest Italian ingredients and combining them in new and inventive ways is what has earned us this recognition.”

Since its move to Watergate Street, Stile Napoletano has become a staple in Chester’s food scene.

Its rotating menu reflects the changing seasons and showcases the richness of Italian cuisine, attracting pizza lovers from far and wide.
