Pizzeria Spacca Napoli, a beloved local restaurant, has been honoured as Canada’s top pizzeria, ranking among the top 1% of pizzerias worldwide. This international accolade and corresponding “3 Spicchi” ranking from Gambero Rosso, the global authority on Italian food, wine, and travel, cements Spacca Napoli and Port Moody as the destination for pizza lovers far and wide. Known throughout Italy and beyond, Gambero Rosso is celebrated for its expert insights into saper vivere—the art of Italian living. Spacca Napoli is the only pizzeria in Canada to hold this ranking.
“We are beyond honoured to receive this recognition,” said Vita Di Giovanni, General Manager of Pizzeria Spacca Napoli. “This award is a testament to our team’s dedication and passion for authentic Neapolitan pizza-making, and we’re thrilled to celebrate with our supportive community.” Davide and Danny’s unwavering commitment to preserving true Neapolitan traditions makes Spacca Napoli unique—they bring Napoli’s soul right here to Port Moody. “It’s a joy to share that passion with our guests through menu talks and teaching them the Napoletana ‘fold’ as their pizza arrives fresh from the oven,” shares Di Giovanni.
Spacca Napoli’s success is rooted in their adherence to traditional Neapolitan techniques and their use of quality imported ingredients like 00 farina, San Marzano tomatoes, and Fior di Latte cheese. Led by head chef Stefano Speranza, the pizzaioli are skilled artisans who bring years of experience from Italian pizzerias. From dough fermentation to hand-stretching and baking at 900 degrees in a wood-fired oven, Spacca Napoli’s team delivers an authentic taste of Italy in every bite – something the restaurant’s very loyal following knows a lot about.
World-Class Cuisine with Small-Town Soul
This recognition sets Spacca Napoli apart as a culinary destination in Port Moody, offering locals and visitors a world-class pizza experience. The award highlights the quality of their pizzas and their contribution to the local food scene. “Spacca Napoli was started by two lifelong friends who shared the same dream. This recognition by Gambero Rosso is a testament to the amazing people we’ve worked with over the past eight years. It’s built on traditions passed down from our families and many Italian Canadians who have tirelessly honoured the gastronomy of Napoli,” said Danny Pero and Davide Di Giovanni.
