Naudi’s is a thin crust spot in Lincoln Park, and the pizza here shares some DNA with a Neapolitan pie. It’s cooked in a wood-fired oven, the cheese in the center is almost liquidy, and the slices droop nicely when you pick them up. But the edge of the crust is crunchy like a cracker, which creates an enjoyable contrast with the soft center.

The only person working here is the incredibly nice owner, who keeps the menu short and manageable. You have two thin-crust pies to choose from (a margherita and a white) and only about eight toppings to choose from. But even plain both pies are really flavorful thanks to a five cheese blend, and rich sauces. This is the kind of pizza that is best eaten right from the oven, so we suggest getting it for dine-in.
