Love everything about this place - haven't been disappointed yet. Great owners, servers and atmosphere and food that doesn't disappoint. Happy hour setting has an awesome view of Squaw Peak, though I hate to broadcast that because I want to be sure I have a seat. The pizza, salads and wine list won't disappoint - a little pricey but worth it. read more

We tried out Base this evening for the first time. We were extremely impressed and loved the food.. great drinks from the bar, great pizza and an exceptional appetizer (roasted veggies with amazing sauces) and one of the best desserts I have ever had. The Pavlova is an Australian comfort food dessert and did not dissapoint .. we loved it. Great food and great service from Roscoe.. we will definitely be back on a regular basis. read more

This is my neighborhood place. I can ride my bike here. Great for lunch or dinner. Pizza is the best in the the area. Park your car here - walk across the street to the Phoenix mountain preserve and hike - come back for a snack. I hosted my whole family one night - fun had by all. Recommend. read more

Love this new pizza place! The owners are beyond fabulous-so friendly and upbeat! They were great with our kids-had us all laughing and having a great time! The food was fantastic! I love how all of their ingredients are organic! Everything was so fresh tasting! I highly recommend the crispy prosciutto salad and the mushroom truffle pizza! Both were off the charts good! My son got the shrimp pizza and he said it was the best shrimp he has ever had! And let me tell you-he loves shrimp, so that is a compliment! I have been telling everyone about this wonderful new place! So in love! read more

Amazing ambience, amazing service and amazing food! This place is definitely worth trying out! The owners are so friendly and as sweet as can be with their Australian accents. They are truly there to make your experience the best possible. And the food....no words to describe the unique menu and specialty salads and pizzas! We want one in our own town! read more

Base Pizzeria - The crispy prosciutto salad...delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Incredible pizza. Ultra friendly service. A warm, inviting environment. If you only read that far, it pretty much covers my experience at Base. We stopped in on a busy Friday night but were greeted promptly and with gusto from one of the owners who was also our server. We started out with the flatbread and house made dips. The two dips were perfectly portioned for the 8 slices of flatbread. I'm not sure what they were...besides really tasty. (The owner was incredibly busy, but I have no doubt he would have answered any questions that we had about the dish. We're just love trying new things, so we just went with it!) The wines were written on a chalkboard on the wall. It seemed like they had a good selection, with glasses starting at $5. But we both prefer beer, so we ordered a few glasses. They were nice and cold, if slightly smaller than I would have liked for $6 a piece. We chose the El Diablo to share. The pizza itself was a thing of beauty. A wood fired pizza can be a disaster if done incorrectly, but they certainly know what they're doing. The crust was crispy but not overly so, and spotted but not burnt. All of the ingredients were of the highest quality, which reflected in the incredible flavors. The tomato sauce was simple and fresh. It was topped with soppressata, kalamata olives, and peppers. It was slightly spicy but might be more intense for those who aren't acclimated to spicy dishes. It was a little more than I spend on an average Friday pizza night, but the quality is so good that I can see myself coming back for sure. Plus, Tuesday nights they have half price pizzas. In other words, I think I've found a new night to go out for pizza! read more

Very good, high quality pizza. Spicy snag is probably my favorite. Nice mix of spicy, sweet, and savory with the sausage. It also has a dog friendly patio area that has a nice view of the mountains. This is a fantastic, unique place for a date, but at the same time, family friendly enough to be a nice weeknight casual dinner. Highly recommend. read more

Such a great new restaurant! The food was amazing!! So fresh and all organic. They even have organic wine. read more

Loved base pizzeria. Food was awesome. Service was awesome. View was awesome. Drink was a more than generous whiskey pour. Since my visit here I finally went to Pizzeria Bianco for the first time and in my opinion it wasn't even close to as good as Base. read more

Great place and friendly staff. I enjoyed the Moscow mule. Pizza was great! You Defiantly have to try the Nutella pizza for dessert. I look forward to coming back. read more

Base Pizzeria - Great Moscow mule - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Hands down the best pizza in Phoenix. Friendly staff and owners. Wood-fired pizza made to perfection. The Bossco and The Piggy are my favs. I've had some of the special pizzas and they have always been awesome. The crispy prosciutto salad can't be beat as well. My favorite pizza place is on Lake Lugano in Switzerland, on the border of Italy, and this is very similar. read more

Base Pizzeria - Napa Smith IPA :) - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is an absolute gem, and I'm shocked at how few of people have heard of it but at the same time I will not be looking forward to the wait line once word gets out on this place. I've been meaning to do a review on this place because of how exceptional it is, in all manners; from the restauranteurs, the atmosphere, scenery, the price, the quality of food, and the impeccable customer service, you get the point. No matter the occasion, this place has always been on point, we've had pre deployment dinners there, birthday dinners, graduation lunches etc. Who would've thought that an Australian couple could make the best pizza in the Valley. read more

It is all about the Base...Pizzeria! Great location easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. It is a very clean restaurant with a sleek yet simple build out. I know pizza places are popping up all over, but this is more than pizza. The salads were excellent! Perfect size, fresh ingredients and extremely tasty. We ordered the summer salad with shrimp, organic pear and a few other organic items...yummmmm! The Base cheese pizza was solid and a really fresh veggie pizza. We went in early with our two kids; super accommodating and there were a few other tables with younger children. I could see not taking them in as the night got later, but early on in the night was perfect. Highly recommend as the entire staff is friendly which makes for an overall great dining experience. read more

We enjoyed our caprese salad, meat pizza and noble bread, which I'd give 4 stars. But what made it all very tasty was the olive oils they provided to accompany the bread and pizza. The ghost pepper olive oil was so good with the noble bread and the pizza too! Beer and wine selection also gets 5 stars and the view of Piestewa Peak was just gorgeous. read more

Awesome place. Owners are Aussie so that's like a huge bump in stars because they have great Aussie beers. I must have ordered like 6 pizzas and 15 beers when I was there and didn't care because the service was amazing, the food is delicious and the ambiance and atmosphere is light, friendly and intoxicating. You guys are doing it right! Thanks for the awesome time! read more

Love everything about this place! They have vegan options... they also offer pizza making classes!

3.5 stars (upgrade to 4 stars if you come after 3 pm on a Tuesday when all pizzas are 50% off). Focus is on lighter, healthier options. Organic salads. Pizza options are not greasy, cheesy, heavily sauced but rather are geared for more sophisticated, adult tastes. Lightly topped with quality ingredients. Very pleasant service. I prefer the bar seating as the tables are pretty scrunched together in a long, narrow (though pleasant) space. Patio looks nice but won't be of much use to anyone until about October... But prices not cheap - we had an 'Almalfi' salad (good quality mozzarella and balsamic along with olives, shredded artichoke pieces, cucs, etc ) for about $15 - tasty but a tad pricey. Organics cost more. Good wine options but, like the rest of the menu, priced accordingly (it's Paradise Valley adjacent, after all...). The acid test for any artisanal pizza place is the crust, which here we found ordinary (chew, texture, char all a tad weak despite undoubtedly high quality flour used). So what is left pizza-wise is basically some really nice, quality ingredients being gently placed on what tastes like a pretty ordinary base (pun!). Come on a Tuesday and sample a few pies and see for yourself... There is no such thing as guilt-free pizza, but the lighter, organic themed approach here only counts as one-half of a traditional pizza sin (unless you tack on a dessert, too). read more

We were there for an early dinner. We split the beet salad, which was definitely big enough to share and was really delicious. I ordered special Spanish Summer pizza, my husband had one of the meat pizzas - I can't recall the name. Both were excellent, and large enough that we'll have them for lunch tomorrow. They have a good selection of beers, ciders, and wines. All in all a great dinner! read more

been wanting to come in for a while from all the good review Finley did stated off with the pear salad it was just OK to me it was to acidic no stand out flavor all so had the Mediterranean pizza that's where they lost me pizza with soft a little undercooked for a Wood-Fired oven didn't have enough char in the bottom what to expect from that style pizza the sauce was just crush tomato's witch would be grate if it had herbs and seasoning they didn't put any of their fresh-made mozzarella they put parmesan cheese instead which overpowers all the other flavors considering Kalamata olives are pretty flavorful as it is the server was grate she was fast made suggestions but for me over all it was as average read more

Wow - What can I say. Great food and service. The Gluten Free pizza is the best in Phoenix. Add some sausage to the shrimp pizza for a surf and turf pie. They are also making a bunch of Hot Chile oils and the Pavuvu oil (A South Pacific Pepper) is tops. It is all about the Base! read more

Base Pizzeria - And you thought Base was great hot out of the oven well guess again. Cold out of the fridge is just as great. - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Hitting on all cylinders already. The wood fired oven is kept hot enough to get a nice leopard spot pattern of char marks on the bottom and a crisp texture to the dough. Unlike some pizzerias that leave a huge thick doughy edge with no toppings around the perimeter, Base covers the entire pizza and does not have the extra thick edge. I liked that! The pizza choices include classics and a few of their own, with optional add ons. All the ingredients are organic, very fresh and delicious. The wine list is not extensive but very good and well matched to the vibe and the food. A full bar stands by along one side of the dining room. When the weather cools off, the patio will be first choice, having great views of the mountain preserve. The three Aussie owners are all fun and friendly. Two mates and one cheeky Sheila. We expect to become regulars at this great neighborhood spot. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Great atmosphere (especially for date night) and excellent service. The wine list is very expansive and some of the best selections in valley. The pizza was really great and cooked to perfection in the wood fire grill. Top it off with an amazing desert list. It's THE best in the valley- can't wait to go back! read more

Very exceptional pizza with very exceptional (I assume owners) ((with authentic Australian accents)). Along with the views outside overlooking the mountain. This is a very nice quaint atmosphere. Very warming inside with a nice patio outside as well. The sauce on these pizzas are absolutely amazing. Honestly I have had pizza all around the world and this is one of the best pizzerias I have ever been to! Well Done gents and hats off to you guys. read more

Awesome spot. Like all the other reviews - u feel like you are "family" there. Went with two other friends of mine and we all had a great time. Our server (male brother. Forgot his name) is hilarious and was really personable from the start. We did two pizzas and a salad and we all left full but not food coma full. Pizza was very good, service was excellent. Definitely coming back read more

We decided to try Base after reading a local news piece about it. We had been to the predecessor restaurant in the space and Base initially appeared to have done very little to change the rectangular strip mall feel of the restaurant. They have however added a nice patio, and the Phoenix Fall weather was perfect for an evening outside. We entered the restaurant and the 1st thing we noticed was the absence of a host desk, and indeed a host. The place was half full, with one large table of about a dozen people and a couple of 4 tops occupied inside and a few tables occupied on the patio. We waited patiently for someone to notice us and after about 5 minutes, during which we thought about leaving, someone came up to us and greeted us. This laissez-faire approach was unfortunately a harbinger of the service to come. We were seated and it took several more minutes for the table to be cleaned and menus provided. Interestingly there were zero condiments on the table. No salt, pepper, olive oil or balsamic vinegar. The menu is small, which is probably a good idea for a new restaurant. The primary dishes are all interesting sounding pizzas, but Phoenix has a surfeit of excellent neapolitan style thin crust pizza places, so we were hoping it would be good. We ordered a caprese salad to split while we waited for our Pizzas. The caprese took at least a half hour and during this wait nothing other than water was offered. we asked for some lemon for the water, but it never showed up. No bread either, to tide us over as they clearly struggled to serve the large party inside. It was a pleasant evening and we had some catching up to do on the day's events so we bided our time. The salad arrived and was delicious. I asked for a little more olive oil, but by the time it arrived we were already done. A while later, at least 15 minutes, our waiter came by to say the pizzas were on their way out any second. It turned out that a second at Base is at least 10 minutes long. Finally the pizzas arrived. One was a classic with added fennel sausage and the other was Mediterranean inspired with olives and artichokes. At first bite the ingredients were fresh and lovely but the crust was baked way too hard. Not burnt, but literally stiff as a board with no moisture in it. The pizza edges could be used as nails to hold down a tent. Disappointing to say the least. To their credit they recognized the disarray in their service and comped the salad but I'm not sure they are worth a repeat visit, especially with so many other good pizza places nearby. Pomo in Scottsdale comes to mind. Prices were about what you should expect at a good pizza place but they need to figure out how to put some moisture back in their crust, and they certainly need to figure the logistics of service. A host to greet diners would also be a nice improvement read more

My husband and I went here because we were craving some gourmet pizza, a trendy spot for a casual date night. And organic? Total win. Wrong. I will say the service was great. Michelle was wonderful. The food - very mediocre. The bruschetta was bland and the bread was SO SOGGY. the two pizzas we got were also bland. I didn't like that the pizza was SO THIN and again soggy but the crust was completely black and I couldn't eat it when that is my favorite part. We got a Roni and he got the special which was this potato and bacon mixture. My husband had three sodas and weird- they charge for each soda. Not to mention they were kiddie size. It was also insanely loud. We will not be back and threw out our pizza. I think the two stars is for service and it was cute inside. Here is a tip- want good pizza with great environment, amazing menu and amazing service try parlor down the street! read more

Surprisingly beautiful view at sunset. The restaurant is in the corner of the strip mall, but has a big patio and great views of the mountains. The wood fired, Smelly Date pizza was delicious. It had crispy prosciutto which had an almost light bacon taste and the dates added a nice flavor without making it too sweet. Their Caesar is light and crisp with large shavings of parmesan. We'll be back- weekly maybe! read more

So I Just had gluten free pizza for myself and my fam had reg pizza. Seriously so good. One thing all gluten free people know: gluten free pizza SUCKS. This destroys that idea completely. I would eat this as often as possible if I lived in the city (visiting). I had the El Diablo- obvi loved it. My fam had the Marg. and an El Diablo with regular crust and downed it all. Happy all around. Can't wait to come back. Other perk? The owners are AMAZING! I wanted to be friends with these people. So personable. So nice. So funny. Love them. They care so much about the food they're putting out, the customers, and the space. This place is awesome. read more

Went in for the first time today and had such a good experience. I ordered a gluten free pizza and it was not put in correctly. Not only did they quickly fix it but they also gave me a refund for the inconvenience. It's so rare to find good customer service like this and match it with great food! Truly a gem! read more

So we started at Federal Pizza that was closed (assuming it was a staff party bc all the other Upward spots were closed). I remembered we wanted to try Base and I'm SO glad I did! Unbelievable pizza! So fresh and clean. Since I've never been, I gotta believe this has to be what pizza tastes like in the Old Country!! It was an unbelievable meal for our sons 16th birthday! We will definitely be back! read more

Let me first say, I've visited Base several months ago, it was good. It was a rainy day and they weren't busy. My hubby loves pizza and I wanted him to experience Base. I understand it is owned by the same people that own SMITH'S, we love it there! We tried to go today. It was about 6:30, there were a few tables not occupied, one a 6 top (I did not notice a reserved sign) and another table that was smaller. The gentlemen walked up, didn't ask me _ I volunteered there would be only two for dinner. He said we'd "have to wait 30 minutes or sit outside". He wasn't really rude, he was more of a "take it or leave it" type tone/attitude. Didnt really seem concerned that we weren't waiting 30 minutes for pizza and we weren't going sit outside in 108 degrees. We left. I'm disappointed and to be honest, it's not WHAT he said, its HOW he said it, with really no kindness. I don't know what's up with that. We ended up at Cherry Blossom where they were really friendly and we received excellent service read more

This place is great on a Monday or a Tuesday when they are running specials. Otherwise, I think it can be a little pricey, but all of the food is organic, and I believe mostly, if not all, is locally grown/harvested. If you're adamant about organic or local food, then you probably don't mind the up-charge, in which case you're going to love this place any day of the week. Monday evening gets you something like a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine for $20 or $25. On Tuesdays after 3pm (the best deal), all their pizzas are half price. They are great pizzas. My girlfriend and I got two and ate a little more than half of each so there was plenty to take home. Drinks are a little expensive so be mindful - most glasses of wine were around $12/glass. Service was lovely. We had one of the owners wait on us (it's a brother and sister as well as her husband). We had the lady and she was spectacular. I would recommend anyone to try this place. read more

First trip last week at lunch. Service gets an A, Food gets an A. The place was emptier than it should have been at lunch on a Friday, nearly all of us opted to sit on the patio facing Lincoln and Squaw Peak. Given how crowded and noisy many area places are at lunch, maybe that's a good thing but based on my experience they deserve to be busier. I never went inside as my guest was on the Patio when I arrived but the interior looked clean and modern from outside. Server was friendly and informative and we went with his recommendations on a special pizza and the appetizer of the day which was roasted purple cauliflower steak or heads, with a light cream sauce and crushed nuts. Both were delicious and came out very fast. They have a large selection of wines and a full bar as well. I'll be back! read more
