Basillico's

We stopped by at lunch time not knowing what to expect. Looking at the pizza bar we settled on the vodka sauce pizza. Put into the oven for a few minutes, the pizza was wonderfully warm and tasty. Taking it to go was good on our part, as we still had a long ways to drive yet for the weekend. The store was clean, and the staff was friendly, but diligently at work. There is a 3% charge on cards if used.If you don't like the idea of that, go eat some bland chain name pizza. We will stop by again sometime for another pizza :)

Apparently nobody really cares at this place anymore. Used to be good, more on the pricey side, but you got your moneys worth. This is what they call a turkey club. It was barely toasted, no middle bread, undercooked bacon crumbles, and lettuce that looks like it was pulled off a pre portioned salad. But I guess we got our moneys worth on the block of sliced cheese. All of this for 11, with no chips, no pickle, and no craps or effort given, wrapped in a tin foil ball. Save your money and go to any of the other Italian mom and pop places around here that actually cares.

Let me tell u about this Eggplant Delight pizza. This past Sunday I was in the mood for a pizza but didn’t know where I wanted to go for it or what kind I wanted. I eventually ended up deciding on basilico’s in Dickson city. I ordered this pizza. After waiting for just 25 minutes I went in and saw them cutting it up and finishing it. I couldn’t believe how BIG it was. I carried my pizza out to the car and took this picture before getting ready to drive home. My car smelt so wildly unbelievable though so I had to stop in a parking lot to take a bite. There was no way I was going to make it home without a taste. I couldn’t believe this pizza! I ended up eating a whole piece out of the trunk of my car like a little gremlin. The eggplant was cooked so perfectly and covered the majority of the pizza. It’s so hard to find good eggplant from a restaurant around here but the eggplant on this pizza was cooked so nicely! From now on when I’m in the mood for a pizza and able to take a little drive, I’m getting this pizza every time. Also, all of the staff were so kind. I don’t even wanna imagine a world without this pizza. Thanks!

This was my family’s favorite restaurant at the old location- portions were big and prices were reasonable. We used to eat there three times a month. Ate there today and spent $30 on a veal parm dinner that came with a tiny portion of pasta, salad and rolls. If you haven’t noticed we are not in NYC - the cost was outrageous for one person. I only had a glass of water because drink prices were high as well with no refills. They charge an additional 20% above menu price, added $0.90 for using a credit card, and charge for refills. Wonder if there is a coin slot on bathroom stalls? I’m sorry the pandemic has hurt business but raising prices that high only causes you to lose business. (I do like the veal.)

RAW pasta. Yes RAW undercooked pasta from an Italian restaurant. Absolutely inedible……hard and crunchy. Even the chicken seemed undercooked. Had that raw bite to it. Truly disgusting. Thankfully they only put in tiny scraps of it compared to the previous orders. $23 for some RAW nasty pasta and some chewy stringy undercooked chicken gristle. Also you gotta love the pizza. Cheese was stuck to the box. Must have a bunch of muppets working in there or something. This “regular” will be taking his business elsewhere.

I got the Buffalo Chicken specialty pizza. It was delicious. Crust? Perfect. Chicken? Perfect! The buffalo sauce was great as well. Only downside was there was a bit of excess chicken for me but some probably see that as a pro anyway😂 Next time I come through the Scranton area I know where I’m getting lunch or even dinner.

Basilico’s is my family’s favorite restaurant. We even held our baby shower there! Not only is the staff friendly and accommodating, the food is fresh and extremely delicious. I absolutely love the chicken parm and we always get a pizza to share. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for existing! :)
