About this Article

Once the go-to place for fuel and candy in downtown Naperville, 19 N. Washington St. is now the place for Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza. Owners of the new believe they have transformed a local eyesore into a small piece of Italy at the site of a long-vacant Union 76 service station. "It would have been so much easier to tear it down and start from scratch but we wanted to restore and recycle the building," operations manager Rebekah Lydon said.
