Top Chester pizzeria unveils new summer menu with 'limited-time specials'

It's ranked among the best in Europe

Popular Chester city centre restaurant Stile Napoletano has unveiled a new summer menu - just weeks after being ranked as the 13th Best Pizzeria in Europe. To celebrate the launch, chef-owner Giacomo Guido has created a series of limited-time specials using the iconic Amalfi lemon.

The seasonal menu showcases the much-loved Italian citrus fruit, known for its smooth, floral flavour and highly aromatic zest. The menu will run for a limited time alongside the restaurant’s acclaimed regular offering.

Taking guests on an Italian summer adventure, the starter of Nuvola Fritta – a light, fried cloud of pizza dough topped with creamy burrata, anchovies from the Amalfi coast, Amalfi lemon zest and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sets the tone for a flavour-packed experience.

The new addition to the pizza menu, Sophia, continues the theme with a delicate courgette cream base, smoked mozzarella, crispy courgettes and ricotta finished with fragrant Amalfi lemon zest. For dessert, Giacomo reimagines the classic tiramisu, swapping espresso for the citrusy lift of Amalfi lemons in the Lemon Tiramisu.

Originally from the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples, Giacomo has been serving his acclaimed traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas in Chester since opening the restaurant in 2018. Inspired by his childhood summers in Italy, the new menu brings bold, bright flavours that evoke the warmth and vibrancy of the Mediterranean coast.

Giacomo said: "While we can’t always rely on the English summer, I wanted to bring a taste of the Italian Riviera to Chester this year. The Amalfi lemon is celebrated by chefs and food lovers worldwide for its vibrant flavour and incredible versatility, it felt like the perfect hero ingredient for a seasonal menu. I love experimenting with bold ingredients and introducing guests to lesser-known Neapolitan dishes.

"My hope is that, with each bite, diners can close their eyes and feel transported to a sun-drenched beach in southern Italy. For us, food is about more than just eating, it’s about creating an experience.”
