The story
Spacca Napoli brings Neapolitan pizza to Seoul's Mapo-gu district, earning a coveted 2-slice rating from Gambero Rosso — the authoritative Italian food guide whose pizza rankings carry serious weight worldwide. That recognition places Spacca Napoli among a select group of pizzerias outside Italy deemed worthy of the guide's rigorous standards.
The Gambero Rosso 2-slice award is not handed out lightly. It signals dough, technique, and ingredients that meet the exacting criteria of Neapolitan tradition — from the cornicione's char and rise to the quality of the toppings. For Seoul diners, this is a reliable marker that the pizza here is the real thing, not an approximation.
The restaurant sits at 28 Yanghwa-ro 6-gil in Mapo-gu, a neighborhood known for its creative dining scene along the Han River corridor. Whether you're a Seoul local or a visitor making your way through the city's food landscape, Spacca Napoli offers a direct line to one of Italy's most iconic food traditions — verified by one of Italy's most respected guides.
