On our ten-day trip out West, we dined at many good restaurants (and some bad ones), but this was the highlight meal of our vacation. It was recommended by locals, and we never would have found it in this out-of-the-way location (in an apartment complex)! Don't be put off by the location. Everything is cooked in a wood-fired oven, and... More

In a crowded field of wood-fired pizza places in the Boulder area, Basta's crust and sauce truly stand out. Their Daisy pizza is basic and truly delicious. Service is also very good; you can tell they really focus on a positive experience. I have been here with my teenagers and just with my other half. Great for either. Nice, upscale... More

This place was recommended highly by locals and it did not disappoint. A little hard to find, tucked away in an apartment complex. The employees were extremely friendly, efficient and professional. The bartender was attentive, and the food was very fresh and totally delicious. We tried everything from appetizers to pizza and their oven roasted chicken and it was all... More

My wife and I tried Basta based on a recommendation that it had the best pizza in Boulder. My wife had a glass of wine and I was looking forward to a Double Jack beer which was listed on website. However our server said the website hasn't been updated in awhile ( a problem with many restaurants) So I had... More

This intimate restaurant is one of my favorites. The burrata cheese appetizer, with leeks, is delicious. The salads are generous and very fresh. And the pizza crust is unparalleled. The service is high-end and the overall experience delightful. I recommend it for after-work drinks with a friend, date night before a movie at 29th, or a place to take family... More

When in Boulder..... We were visiting Boulder and thought this place sounded interesting. Very hard to find - a little sign on the outside of an apartment/condo complex and the restaturant is in the courtyard. We were really impressed. We ordered four different pizzas. Very fresh ingredients, an outstanding crust, service was fast and explanations of both pizzas and wines... More

I have been a regular customer ever since they opened. The menu selection has been decreased, although the favorites (pizza) remain as a standard. In the past everything was excellent. I had the chicken tonight. It was tasty although parts were tender while other parts was dry. The service has really degraded. In earlier days, someone would open the door,... More

The pizza is fantastic but I think there are many choices that do not include a pizza. Their menu changes I think regularly based on what is in season or of interest to the chef/owner. They have the highest quality ingredients such as the burrata cheese with artichoke/roasted farm bread toast points to spread it on, the roasted vegetable salad,... More

We love Pizzeria Basta - the Pizza's are the best in town - authentic and delicious. The Pizza base is simply delicious and the meats are made in-house. The wine selection and beer selection are also extensive. Delicious desserts and great service.

The pizzas are small and don't have many toppings which can be good because it helps keep the crust crispy. There is a good pasta dish on the menu. We were really excited to try it. It came out and was so small. Yummy but overpriced. I really appreciate good quality food (slow food movement, Alfalfa's grocery kinda person), but... More
