The Chicago pizzeria Spacca Napoli has been a fixture of the Ravenswood neighborhood for nearly 20 years.
Recently, it was recognized by Chicago’s culinary community as the best pizza in town.
Just days after accepting the prize, its owner Jonathan Goldsmith prepared to undergo surgery to remove stomach cancer.
WBEZ Courtney Kueppers visited Goldsmith the day before his operation.
