Score
Across the available record, Napples Pizzeria has 18 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. Napples Pizzeria was last inspected on Feb 6, 2020. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The most recent inspection at Napples Pizzeria is from Feb 6, 2020, and nothing newer appears in the public record.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
