Basta in Glasgow City

I had a great experience at Basta, the restaurant itself is easy to find at the bottom of Dumbarton Road and has a lovely interior, full of character which makes it a great place to eat. The pizza was well cooked, with a good sugo and had generous toppings. We went for option 2 (tomatoes, artichoke, pesto and peppers) and option 5 (olives and capers sans chovies). To drink we went for two bottles of estrella. I felt the food was reasonably priced with good, quick service. My only thought was the atmosphere was slightly lacking as we were only customers in, but this isn’t the fault of the restaurant. The Neapolitan pizza market in glasgow is very competitive due to the popularity of Paesano, but I’d urge anyone to give Basta a shot as it’s up there quality and flavour wise. I always like to support local businesses and will definitely be back!

My worst diarrhea after eating here. I hate mexican food.

Hands down, best pizza in Glasgow. Such a good vibe if you eat in, good drinks options and the staff are so nice and friendly.

Great pizza. The staff and owner always make us feel at home. This joint is jumping.

What a place! The best pizza, and the staff and owner are really warm and fun. Great music on the speakers, and they took requests! Made us feel so welcome. Have been back many times, would highly recommend.

Best pizza in Glasgow and well up there with pizzas I've had in Italy. Never feel bloated or lethargic after eating a Basta pizza as it's all so fresh. Really cool interior. Could not recommend more. Bring family and friends visiting from England here, we love it so much.

We placed a takeaway order for 26 pizzas for a birthday celebration. The whole order was prepared exactly to time, exactly as we’d agreed and with the friendliest service possible. Could not have asked for a more successful meal, top class from Innes and the team.

Delicious pizzas but I would say they are too wet. Too much sauce.

Extremely good pizza. Brilliant fluffy yet crispy base. Will definitely be back, hopefully the special Butter Chicken pizza is still on!

Best pizza I’ve had in Glasgow. Cool place, lovely atmosphere and the owner is a gent. Highly recommend.

Love this place, everything about it is so friendly

Dropped in on a busy rainy Sat in Partick for lunch and glad we did. Fantastic pizza n posh fries, friendly quick service. Unpretentious and quirky. Will definitely return. The best part of the day 🙂

This is surely the best pizza in town, been to all of them, but Basta takes the cake with their hybrid dough, partially from a 7 year old sourdough starter called Angela!

Really nice and cosy pizza/wine joint. Good prices, nice staff.

Awesome pizzas. Atmosphere is cozy and with good music.

The manager and the owner was very rude to the customers.

10/10 pizza. Best in Glasgow in my opinion. Friendly staff, cosy surroundings and quick service.

Great family run restaurant! The staff are great fun and the staff are lovely. Great experience.

After several attempts of trying to eat here, finally managed to get in. On my last visit the place had actually sold out by 8pm, a good sign! I’d go as far to say Glasgow is pretty saturated with Pizza joints these days, so my next comment may be questioned, this is possibly the best pizza I’ve had in Glasgow, yes, you read correctly! So tasty, and the crust was perfection! I went for the number 07; Tomato, Spicy Salami, Roquito Chillies, Mozzarella, and Chilli Oil (Beware!! This isn’t for the faint hearted!) Nice chilled vibe, will be back!

Very average Stingy with toppings, cheese and really chewy crusts. Bit cramped inside with staff breathing down your neck.

A little gem in Partick! The pizzas and starters are delicious and properly cooked (unlike some other popular Glasgow pizzerias), the wine list is on point and the staff is always welcoming. I live far away now, but I make sure to come back once a year for my birthday. Icing on the cake: the music playlist never disappoints. I strongly recommend the number 4!

Best pizza served with a slice of humour. Legend.

Honestly, best pizza place and frendliest staff in town. Great music and cozy place. Pizza buonissima 🍕 👌 Highly recommended!!!

This is a great place to go for a quick bite to eat. I like the style, food, and the service was great. They were very nice and fast with the food preparation.

Amazing pizza! Very filling but hearty and a nice variety of toppings (very different to other local pizza places) and the staff are super friendly and lovely! Also really cool decor inside and good selection of drinks!

Excellent pizza, with flavourful toppings and friendly service. Would definitely return. Good location with easy access to metro.

Very good pizzasmall place great server

I ordered two pizzas and both were charcoal and I had to returned them! I am disappointed because, It is so obvious that both shouldn't be served to customers! It is a shame because I've ordered pizza from them before and we're ok.

Ordered pizzas for my retirement party this month, every guest raved about how amazing they were and not a single slice left!

Just a nice little pizza place with friendly staff.

Place was quiet, mainly takeaways being picked up. Pizza was pretty good and service was friendly.

Delicious pizza, 😋 lovely atmosphere.

Great pizza with great toppings. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Very friendly and welcoming service. Pizza delicious

Amazing pizza spot. Simple tasty ingredients. Nice atmosphere too.

I've been a big fan of this place for several years now. Getting recognised by their friendly staff is always such a treat. Eating in or takeaway the pizza has always been nothing short of superb. Tried tow of their three red wines when I was sitting in once too, and was very impressed with the quality they'd chosen. The value you get from here too, compared with the big takeaways, there's just no question. The music playlist they have is great taste too.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. Love the vibe and staff are always nice!

Always fantastic food, best pizza in Glasgow. Had takeaway many times and the quality is just as high as dinning in.

A fantastic Saturday evening in this amazing disco pizza bar. Just the best staff, music and the most delicious pizza. Didn’t want to leave. You must visit. It will tantalise your tastebuds and lift your spirits.

After being big fans and regulars for years sadly we have decided to not eat at basta anymore. We gave it a go today after a terrible pizza a couple of months ago but there had been no improvement. The base is completely under cooked, the toppings have absolutely no flavour and the garlic dip taste like watery non garlic dip. This used to be our favourite pizza in Glasgow and we are not sure what’s happened? But the last two orders have been really really bad and not worth the money at all. I hope things can be rectified as we would love to come back but as of now we will not be getting basta again.

Best place in Partick to get pizza. Well priced and amazing food! Lovely staff and owner. Love this place to bits. Great for a lunch with the homies and dinner or even a takeaway home after a long day at work.

Never fails. Best pizza in Glasgow. Brilliant tunes too.

It's amazing, I can't say more! Thanks!

Get yours right here for a limited time .buon appetito!😛they use the worst delivery out there at ubereats absolutely woeful & who delivered to the wrong address & still charged me despite complaining.you need to deal with lazy incompetent Indians which is a complete headache scenario

The best pizza ever, loads of fresh toppings - no 8 pizza is yummy 😋 Great service, and a lovely glass of Monty 🍷🍷

Our absolute favourite pizza in Glasgow! Used to go quite regularly when we lived nearby, however we’ve since moved across the city and decided tonight to take the trip over. It was well worth it and even better than we remembered - pizza travelled super well too.

Amazing host menu really good. Delicious pizza and wine. Well done

We had wonderful pizzas!!! Very reasonably priced and good choice of toppings. Dough superb. Lovely bottle of wine and restaurant has a good vibe. Easy walking distance from subway.

Lovely friendly restaurant with great tasting pizza

We had a few starters (truffle and Parmesan chips, salad) and two excellent pizzas. The drinks were really good value and the service super friendly. Altogether a very enjoyable experience

Top pizza. Garlic mayo is a must try 👍 Reasonable price. Will be back.

Great food well priced very friendly staff

Hands down the best pizza in Glasgow!! Super reasonable prices and lovely staff.

This is a tasty little restaurant in the west end of Glasgow. Unpretentious and friendly & welcoming. I had one of the very best pizzas I've ever had. Lovely texture and the smoked panceta created a wonderful flavour. Reasonably priced too and fairly easy to park nearby. Recommended!

Great place, pizza was fantastic and the kids options are great.

Wonderfully quaint place. The chef, Matthew, is top-notch, with expertly prepared dishes. The host, Ennis, creates a very inviting atmosphere even if he is a bit cheeky. SEVERE compliments, do try this place.

Good food and friendly service. I enjoyed my time here.

Great little Pizzeria, best I've tried in Glasgow

Just ordered 01 pizza through Ubereats… wow… it was perfection. Succulent mozzarella, real tomato flavour..melt in mouth. Glasgow is an excellent city for pizza..but this blew me away! Thanks team!

Lovely staff, great food, nice selection if wines and a nice atmosphere.

Worth the wait! Tastiest pizza we've had in a long time. My order wasn't quite ready for collection at the original time. So I was kindly given a complimentary drink while I waited few extra mins. Great food and honest service. Will be back.

Visited for an afternoon family pizza meal Good choice of toppings and the special was special - very unusual and tasty We picked a selection to share with their special fries Good range of drinks too Very comfortable small restaurant with friendly and helpful staff Also very dog friendly which was great for us

Excellent meal with family including greyhound Good choice and daily special was great Good atmosphere and very dog friendly too

Used to be our go-to pizza joint. However, on the last trip for takeout, got kept waiting 10-mins outside given time-slot, food was cold and burnt when we got home, and there was a severe topping shortage. #fail

Been a couple of time and loved it both times, once sitting in which is a chilled environment, plus takeaway and the pizza was just as good..I'm not a huge pizza lover, but will defo use basta as my go to place in t future👌

Brilliant pizza, staff superb and the music just increased the fact that you didn't want to leave. A fabulous time. ❤❤

First visit to Basta. Great pizzas, and would highly recommend.

My go to for pizza. Great base, strong variety of topping suggestions, nice vegan cheese and wonderful crispy, salty chips. Also great service

Ordered a takeout pizza and beer. The pizza was excellent, saucy with large chunks of salami and perfect dough. When one of the beers I ordered was out of stock, they sent me an extra one instead. I appreciate both the service and food and will order again.

I have lived in the neighborhood for years and was so happy when this opened. Brilliant hand made pizza with super fresh ingredients! Partick needed something like this

One of the best pizzas in Glasgow

Nice and cosy.. Good pizza, Recommended... They should bring some beers on draft.. 🍺🍺🍺😂😂😂😂

Delicious, great value.... friendly staff

Best service. Yummy yummy pizza with great topping choice. Seating outside now too 🌞

The number 4 pizza is life changing! It's so creamy and delicious. Once you taste it is hard to order something different in the future. Cute restaurant and friendly staff too.

I have walked past this place many times living close by but never tried it till last night. I don't think il eat a pizza from anywhere else now, I got number 9 pizza chicken ,pancetta spinach and smoked mozzarella it was honestly the best pizza I've ever eaten my Mrs agreed. We will be back, as often as possible 😂 Girl on the phone when ordering was polite and just as polite in person. Pizza seemed like it was timed to perfection and out the oven about 5 seconds before I arrived. You won't misplace your money if you buy from here.

Five stars for Basta Pizza bar. Under these challenging times this independent establishment is still able to provide an first class service. They are maintaining social distancing which with the size of the restaurant must have an affect on them. The food is top draw, nice small menu with a pleasant surprise for the specials when we visited. Will worth a visit. 10/10

Basta is an amazing surprise. We had a spicy salami and a sausage pizza and they were as close to a traditional italian pizza as you can get. There were some fruit flies which were quite annoying but nothing that could ruin our dinner. Either way, we're not definitely going to be back.

The best pizzas in partick and the staff are so friendly , they’re professional at them job 👌🏾

The best pizza in Glasgow! Was buzzing to go back after lock down and it did not disappoint! Great safety precautions post-lockdown paired with the same friendly and personal service. The pizza is totally customisable, great vegan options and always so tasty and fresh.

Amazing pizzas and super friendly service!

Short menu but excellent pizza, nice ambience (good music) and efficient staff

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

10/10 pizza call in advance as small place

Best pizzas in Glasgow. Friendly staff. Service great. Music great! Fab atmosphere 👍

We've been to Basta many times, both to sit in and carry out. The pizza is always excellent. We haven't tried any of the small plates or desserts because it's all about the pizza for us. Love the atmosphere of the place too!

Popped in by chance while getting tyres changed nearby. Couple of starters and the pizza were delicious. Would recommend

Came here for Pizza and is not as good as they saying. Lovely bar, nice atmosphere

Really good pizzas but not much sitting room inside. You can order to takeaway too which is a nice touch. Very friendly staff

Cool wee pizza bar with possibly the best pizza ever made 😊

Cozy place with really good pizza and friendly staff

Thin crispy pizza + delicious toppings

Nice place, nice people, nice music and more importantly.. nice food!!

The pizza was great, really interesting specials and enough traditional ones to keep everyone happy. Unlike other places in Glasgow the slice wasn't 'floppy' so you could pick it up without all the toppings sliding off.Id also recommend the croquettes both the mozzarella and goats cheese. What was lovely is both came with dips which they left for the pizza, really nice touch.

Excellent tunes excellent pizza

Small space, delicious pizza, nice staff!

Never in the whole wide world of pizza, and I am an astronaut, polar explorer, and shlepper of stolen treasures across the hottest deserts, have I tasted anything that comes within 10 light years of Basta Pizza. If you are local, travelled to G Town (Glasgow) on business or pleasure, just go there. You don't need me to tell you, as I got recommended by the Dali Lama, Greta Thunberg, and a guy who calls himself Ivan Koolman Better than ecto and gear, much healthier, and doesn't cost as much

Food was delicious and staff were lovely. Will definitely be back again. Would recommend reserving a table in advance!

Lovely little place - great atmosphere but the pizzas were not great...work on the dough and this place could be one of my favourites

Very attentive staff and great pizza +++++
