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]

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

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!

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

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.

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
