    Best pizza in the area
    Andrea R.

    From the beginning almost 20 years ago, we've been coming here. Sal the owner is incredible The recipes have stayed the same, the food is always hot fresh and delicious. If you need a little twerk or a little tweak and something, it is always accommodated. I love the hometown feel when you walk in everyone says hello and you always know people when you go there, to sit either inside or outside. It's always the neighborhood place to go. If you are in Wellington on Forest Hill Boulevard stop in, grab a slice grab a whole pizza grab a calzone and a salad you will not be disappointed. The crispiness of the slice you pick it up and you fold it and you hear that snap and your mouth just starts to water!

    What's better than a slice of their vegetable pizza?

    Order at the counter and they'll give you your cup and self serve. This is sit where you find a spot. It's worth the pilgrimage. The pizza is wonderful. I loved their house salad. The food was fresh, service attentive and I felt I was back in Manhattan.

    Welcome to Basilico's.

    I usually start off with five stars if I'm pleased but the person took my order and obviously never turned it in so out of the four people in our party, I never got my Lasagna. My wife shared half her pizza with me and my brother in law gave me half his lasagna which was actually perfect. Now, lets start the regular review. My brother in law told me if I like lasagna, this was the place to go. So we took a quick ride from their home. Easy in and out off the main road ti this very modern looking strip mall, then the pizzeria / restaurant. You order at the front counter then they bring the food to your table. When they delivered the three items is when we realized that they never received mine. I should have questioned why they were crossing off items as I was ordering. No harm, no foul... There was plenty of food at the table to go around as their portions are very large. Our appetizer & dinner consisted of: - Garlic knots - Crisp with a warm soft center and plenty of buttery garlic - Mozzarella and Tomato salad - plenty of juicy tomato with delish fresh mozzarella - Lasagna - A delicious blen of wide noodles, meat and sauce. This was really a treat. Great rich-tasty sauce - Eggplant rollatini with ziti Bolognese - .I did not taste but you could see the three large pieces of eggplant in the same rich-tasty sauce and a bog bowl of ziti. (portions are not for the faint hearted here and be prepared to take food home - Pizza with mushroom - delicious thin crust with a very tasty pizza sauce, plenty of cheese and mushrooms. Outside of a rocky start all was very good and I look forward to a return visit to try something new. The Chicken Francaise looked terrific.

    Oh man, the Stromboli sandwiches are like nothing I've had before. So flaky and saucy. Try the eggplant parm!!

    We have been eating the Pizza here like no tomorrow. 8.1 is my score. No Flop, Great sauce, great undercarriage and a really good crisp. Eat it right out of the oven. Don't do a disservice and put it in a box to go. It has become my latest go to spot.

    We came here after seeing the dr in Wellington. My mom was excited to bring us here as she found her new pizza spot. We walked in and got a table which apparently is a Win because it's very hard to get one. We were not greeted by a waiter because you order from the window. However we were given cups for drinks. We ended up ordering garlic knots, cheese pizza, chicken parm with pasta and garlic sticks. And for dessert we split a tiramisu. The garlic knots were good. A little soft for my liking but fresh garlic on top. The garlic sticks were a bit too dry for my liking. The pizza was good. Most of the pieces didn't flop down. Not a huge pizza for the price but it was good. The chicken parm, the first piece was chewy which seemed as if they didn't cook it long enough. Not raw but that chewiness right before it's done. Sauce was a bit sweet which I like. The pasta was pasta. Nothing special. Tiramisu was delicious. The cream was frozen so it gave it a nice texture. Overall, I'd say the ratings of the business is a fair assessment. 4.25. But in Wellington this place is a booming.

    Small place with a few tables. The pizza was good, but definitely could have been hotter. The girls taking orders were friendly, but the young man who brought the pizza to the table seemed disinterested and a little grumpy. I'll have to try it again and see what else they have cooking there. All in all it was a pretty good lunch and I would say give it a try.

Server barely checked on table we were out of water and drinks. Back to the one at FOREST HILL- I was there two weeks ago. Let's give it another try. It's been a few months. We thought the place was closed! Few people inside, hostess took a few minutes to show up. The menus were sticky the tables looked greasy wiped. I should have left at this point, but the party I was with was hungry. The server came, helpful nice. Our food came super fast which was good since everyone was starving. Flavors were good, dishes shrunk! Same price, 1/2 the food. Some days are great others are not. This hinders customers coming back.

The dough for the pizza was extremely lack luster. There was zero flavor and it was completely under done. If you have ever bought the Pillsbury just add water for pizza dough, that is EXACTLY what this tasted like. I have never had cheese on a pizza that tasted soupy. This pizza was in no way any shape or form of a quality type of pizza let alone had any type of quality ingredients. I am beyond stunned I paid $16 for a large cheese pizza! We did order a $8 salad that did not have the toppings it was supposed to have. This only had lettuce and chopped up tomatoes. The vinaigrette dressing had a weird after taste also. This was not only me eating it, but 4 other people eating/trying it also. When you grab one slice from each and everyone does not want to go back for another slice, what does that say? If you eat here and expect quality good type of pizza, this is NOT going to be your place.

The deal was good for one week, and it seemed to be effective as the restaurant was pretty full when we visited on a Friday night. Although the gratis bruschetta appears to be gone for good, we still enjoyed the fresh baked Italian bread with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I had a Caesar salad and my wife had the pasta fagioli soup. Both were very good. The soup was thick and fulfilling... as well as filling! The entrees were good as always. I had the chicken marsala. It remains one of my favorite marsala dishes in the area. The mushrooms are fresh and plentiful, the sauce is excellent, and the portion size is enough for two full meals. It's accompanied by a choice of pasta or veggies. My wife had the baked ziti. She thoroughly enjoyed it but noted that it was extremely cheesy. The portion size of this dish was also large enough for two meals. Did we have room for dessert? Alas, we were quite satiated, so no dessert for us. The tables were close to each other but the seating did not feel cramped. The noise level was a bit high, especially since some nearby tables had younger children, but it was not overwhelming. The service was good, both in terms of the server's attentiveness and the timeliness of the food delivery. Overall, a satisfying meal. We'll put Mama Mia's on our "we should visit more often" list.
