Giacomo Guido

Career Since 2018, Stile Napoletano in Chester has been shaped around Neapolitan-style pizza under Giacomo Guido, with the work kept close to the trade’s basic demands: light dough, lasting flavour, and a method grounded in care. That approach resists the drift toward embellishment. In Guido’s kitchen, the standard is a pizza that does its job without extra handling, carrying warmth, character, and a clear sense of place. “We opened in 2018 with a focus on traditional Neapolitan pizza that is light, flavourful and made with care,” Giacomo Guido says. That line still reads as the restaurant’s operating brief: disciplined simplicity, made legible on the plate.

Signature

Neapolitan-style pizza is the defining work at Stile Napoletano, and the clearest expression of Giacomo Guido’s method. The dish is kept simple in form and exacting in execution, with tradition, lightness and care doing the heavy lifting. Everything else at the restaurant turns around that standard.

Recognition

In 2025, the Top 50 Pizza Europe Awards ranked Stile Napoletano 13th Best Pizzeria in Europe. For Giacomo Guido, the recognition sits on consistency rather than spectacle: the harder task of holding a single culinary language steady, with precision and no loss of identity.
