About Basil

Slow dough. Fresh bread. Great ingredients.

Basil was founded by award-winning pizza chef Dávid Hartai, winner of the National Pizza Awards Pizza of the Year and a National Pizza Awards judge. The shop is built around a simple idea: exceptional ingredients, slow-fermented dough, fresh bread, carefully made coffee and no shortcuts.

Roman-style, Bristol-ready

Airy middle. Crisp base. Rectangles made for sharing.

Basil makes Roman-style pizza with slow-fermented, high-hydration dough, baked in traditional trays for a light, airy crust and crisp base. Whole trays are 12 x 12 inches, weigh over 1kg, and can be cut into 16 sharing squares for offices, families and hungry tables.
