Review Basil Brick Oven Pizza - Astoria

This restaurant is incredible and underrated. Contrary to the name it is not just a pizza place. It has a full restaurant with incredible food cooked to perfection and great service. I highly recommend. And maybe they can change the name and signage to make it clearer it's a restaurant!

This small intimate restaurant is a gem. The food, decor and service are spectacular! It is my new Italian favorite and that is not easy to say given that this is NYC! I had the veal and my husband had the lamb chops. Truly amazing! Also I would go there hungry so you can enjoy some of the tasty appetizers. Pardon the photos but we started digging in as soon as the food hit the table! I can't wait to return!

We visited this restaurant again on Thursday 12/30/21 and this time was able to dine in. We were greeted by Emily who sat us at table in the rear. I loved the rustic look of the restaurant The music for the service everything was excellent. We had a very pleasant night and Emily was a service she was excellent and so was Angel I must also say that Chef Jesus was on points with the food is served of course we will recommend this restaurant to all the family and friends and we will return we thank them for for a beautiful evening for their expertise and making us feel at home. 6/9/21 Visit for the first time celebrating my husband’s birthday service decor and everything is really beautiful Angel was an exceptional server and sold Emily the food was good I didn’t like the lobster ravioli that my husband ordered because I tasted no lobster and there was no pink sauce it was more I like the spaghetti sauce. I had the Penna in sauce withPanetta and Basil it was good.I will recommend and return to see what else I can try

Stopped in for pizza and was surprised at the menu selections. We went with the pizza and it did not disappoint. Very relaxing interior and outstanding service. We ordered the meatball app, delicious balls and sauce with crusty bread to dip. A nice sized personal pizza with a light crust and generous toppings. We will definitely be back to explore the other items on the menu. The real deal!!!

First class service, fast and friendly, I liked the marinara sauce for the calamari and the way they served it completely different from any other pizzeria, waitress knows about wine and was able to recommend me a wine. Pizza was better than I expected. Fair prices and great decorations. Even has a bar

Fantastic! We had a great dining experience tonight. Cozy restaurant with plenty of space. A few minutes after we sat down we got warm bread with Olive tapenade which was so good! My husband and I shared Pasta Carbonara and a Pizza with roasted Eggplant and fresh Ricotta. Both was delicious! We also shared Tiramisu and it was top notch-and a lot! Couldn’t get enough. Will definitely got back, highly recommended!

I love to eat at this place !!!! every time I went to eat I was very well attended, the restaurant is very well organized and clean, the appetizers are very good, the salads are super fresh, and the food extremely fantastic, sometimes I buy the Pizza to take home, the dessert tasted only once but it was very good, I always return to years I am a customer, thank you for all and for everything for providing these very good experiences

Pizza was amazing and the staff was great. I enjoyed our brick oven pizza so good!!!!!!

Excellent pizza. Good service. Make sure you sit in the back room, which is the best part of the restaurant. The prosciutto and buratta starter was excellent. The wood fired pizzas are amazing.

Unassuming solid pizza place. I had the Parma Arugula with Tomato Sauce, Homemade Fresh Mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Baby Arugula, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I added tomatoes. It was the standout winner. My friend got the tartufata and it was really rich for me, but great for a slice swap. The Parma Arugula was the true winner. Prices are a bit high but worth it to splurge every now and then.

I have dined here several times, the last time for Christmas dinner and as always I was satisfied. I recommend everyone to give it a try, the food is amazing and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

OMG! We were looking for a decent place for pizza in Astoria, on a Sunday night and I found you. Been a little skeptical we decided to give you a chance and I’m very glad we did. Service was outstanding by both of the waiters on the floor, they accommodate our allergy situation with no issues, let me start for what we order: Pappardelle with mushrooms had a smooth and light creamy sauce and the homemade pasta was thin and perfectly cook al dente. Speck and prosutto pizza with a creamy base and very light on the cheese delish, and a ricotta stuffed crust pizza with prosutto and arugula and a very light and smooth tomato sauce. We end up sharing everything and we took the left over pizza home. The only downfall of the night was that at 5:30 pm You run out of tiramisu, BUT our waiter went far and above to get us something she then offer to bring a tartufo which you didn’t have either but she got us a cream brûlée which was over cooked but she make a great effort to keep us happy, this is a place you have to try. As a chef is very satisfying to see the effort of your employees and how Well trained they are. We will be back.

Very nice and cozy feeling you get there. Parking is free at the lot if you dine there! Salad and pizza was fresh and delicious. Try the Carbonara!!

Sat at table 6 and had great chianti wine and great various pizza and great service by Katerine and Emily in a clean comfortable place next time well visit the bar area and try the various pastas well be back very nice welcoming place

I visited this place a year ago when I moved to Astoria. Now that I am moving to another neighborhood I visited this place again. Great service great food.

Flew out here just for the day to get pizza. And it was perfect!!!
