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.

Located on the outskirts of the Wellington mall, this little cafe is right at the end of a plaza…read more They do serve affordable and tasty pizza. Our waitress was nice and attentive and the restaurant itself was clean. I've been looking for a good Italian sandwich and unfortunately this place isn't it. Would come back to try some of their other items as they did look pretty good.

Whoever gives this place anything above a one star, should have their review status revoked…read more Got pizza to go, grabbed a margarita and a cheese. 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.

Excellent meal as usual, SUPER, Friendly service from Skyla…read more We shared a Veal Marsala ($10 extra charge well worth it) The sharing charge gives you another appetizer and pasta, so our check was $63.00 (Including a $14 glass of wine) We've spent more for Happy Hour sometimes PLUS there was more to take home...another meal

The food was amazing as always, but unfortunately the service was absolutely horrible and…read morecompletely ruined our experience. We had a table of six and ordered a bottle of Prosecco, a cocktail, three cokes, and several appetizers. When we asked for bread to enjoy with our appetizers, the server told us she couldn't bring bread unless we ordered entrées. I like to enjoy bread with appetizers and as paying customers, why not simply charge for it instead of refusing it altogether? When it came time to order our main dishes, two of us wanted to share entrées due to previous stomach surgery, and again we were told there would be an extra charge. Everything felt unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. Dining out should be an enjoyable time with family, not a constant struggle over policies about how you're allowed to eat the food you're paying for. To make matters worse, this happened on Mother's Day, making what should have been a special celebration very unpleasant. It got to the point where I didn't even order anything else for myself. And it's not as if we weren't spending money we ordered 4 appetizers, 2 pizzas, 3 entrées, a bottle of Prosecco, a sangria, and 3 cokes. We fully supported the restaurant, yet the service made us feel unwelcome the entire time. I truly love their food, but not even that is enough to make me return. Service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, because of this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant or come back again--even if the food were free.
