The service was amazing. Just next level. We did the tasting with drink pairing and that was super fun. The tasting ranged from wine to cocktails . Just delicious.

Basta is a wood fired eatery that dishes out a variety of items from handmade pastas and Neapolitan pizzas to oysters and hearty dishes like short ribs cooked sous vide. [Eater 38 Member]

I had the dandelion salad which was deliciously flavorful and had delightful texture. My companion had the duck comfit which was wonderful. The pizza looked amazing!

Kallie H

The Daisy pizza is deliciously addictive and always a faithful standby but Basta never disappoints with their local, market fresh specials like their latest Summer pasta with pea pesto

Paige Albiniak

Bread , burrata and roasted garlic was amazing. 1/2 chicken was satisfying. Wood fired pizzas are delish.

Traditional authentic Italian pizza joint, but the strive for authenticity leaves mixed results with the pizzas . Try the "Daisy " pizza . Mains $7-$32; pizza $10-$15; apps $6-$16. "See more for review": Read more

The BEST pizza in Boulder, and in a town filled with artisan pizzerias that is saying something. The service is always impeccable. Tell Justin or Chad that Z sent you, and you will be taken care of Read more

They can make items on the menu gluten free . Pizza is one of those choices that can be made with no gluten.

The s'mores are fantastic. Try the Daisy with prosciutto added. The lasagna is creamy and superb.
