Basil

Basil brings a taste of Rome to Bristol, offering Roman-style pizza, coffee, and sandwiches in a compact space on Queens Road. The establishment's ethos centers around crafting high-quality food using slow-fermented, high-hydration dough that provides a light, airy crust and a crisp base, with pizzas served either by the slice or as a whole tray. The menu caters to a diverse range of tastes with vegetarian and vegan options available, ensuring there's something for everyone. Regular patrons include students, office workers, and locals, who appreciate the elevated lunchtime rituals offered by Basil. Basil operates under a counter-service format, encouraging diners to enjoy their meal on the go or bring it back to their office or home. While primarily a takeaway spot, Basil also caters to larger groups, offering whole trays of pizza cut into shareable squares, perfect for feeding a hungry office or group gathering. The menu changes regularly, providing fresh and seasonal ingredients across its range of pizzas and sandwiches.
