   Great pizza using “old country” recipes and cooking methods with imported quality ingredients. We have never had pizza that tasted so great. The crust to their Signature Pizzas were really unique, crunchy on outside and chewy on inside. Had a fabulous college graduation dinner that all three generations really enjoyed.

   If you want to charge high end prices it should look and feel like fine dining. The artichoke dip was good but not enough bread to share. Pizza was over cooked and pasta was undercooked and unsalted. I don’t think I’ll be back.

   Authentic stone oven pizza. Very good! A little steep but definitely worth stopping in and enjoying.

   Basil & Barley is as authentic Neapolitan pizza as it gets unless you were to go to Naples directly. Absolutely delicious! Even the oven is directly from Italy. I recently dined there with two colleagues from the east coast who happened to be in town for the first time attending a conference. They absolutely loved it!

   Basil and Barley Pizzeria is a fun, modern pizzeria. We went for the gluten free crust and it did not disappoint. It was nice and doughy and you couldn't tell it was Gluten Free. Our server Nicole was great and super nice. We never felt ignored and she was great helping us decide on desserts and drinks.
   

   Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on February 26, 2023Thank you Benjamin. Glad you tried the Gluten Free crust. I am not gluten intolerant and I still get the crust from time to time. So happy you enjoyed your food and experience at our little pizzeria.

    The server was rude, and then hit on my husband when I went to the restroom (in front of our daughter). It took us nearly an hour and forty five minutes to get three pizzas…
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on February 12, 2023We are so sorry this happened I sent you a message privately too if you don't mind responding. Normally on a busy night typically takes about 30 minutes to get pizzas out. Apologies for the longer delay.

    The restaurant was clean and our table was ready at the reservation time. The Caesar salad was good. The pizza was a little soggy. Good beer selection. The waitress was good-she checked on us a couple times while eating. The beer and wine selection was very good. Overall a good experience, although we were disappointed in the flavor and texture of the pizza.

    The food was amazing, some of the best pizza I’ve had. The ambience was nice. The service though was terrible. Our server seemed to be more concerned with standing at the host stand and talking to her coworkers, than doing her job. She sat us and then walked away, didn’t ask us our drink order until 10 minutes later. Never checked on how our food was or how we were doing. We had to ask for plates and napkins. It was a fairly empty restaurant, it was clear we were her only table. She seemed like she could care less. That’s the only thing I wish was different. We’ll be back for the food, but if the service is a consistent thing like this I doubt we will.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on December 10, 2022Thank you for the feedback. We will be using this review to continue to train our staff on the importance of getting drinks to table immediately, NOT being on their phones at all, and continuing to check on customers throughout their meal. Even after the check is dropped and paid, still check in from time to time.

    I don’t usually (ever) write reviews, but our waitress, I don’t remember her name but she had pink hair, was absolutely wonderful. She was so personable and the sweetest thing ever. The owner also came and spoke with us and made us drinks. So even though the food was 5 stars, the people were what made it so great. 😊

    We wanted to love this place. The location is perfect and the reviews were great, so we decided to spend our anniversary here. Our server didn't bother to bring our waters until after our appetizer and salad had arrived. She was too busy chatting with coworkers on the slow Tuesday night. When she did bring our waters she brought my 3&5 year olds cups with no lids. Then My water sat empty for at least 20 minutes. The Focaccia was thin and incredibly burnt (beyond the normal wood fired crispiness). The salad was fine even if I did have to toss it and serve it out of the large bowl with a fork. The pasta was not tossed in the sauce prior to going in the oven so the noodles on top were burnt. The supreme pizza was awful. Even the spots that weren’t crispy tasted incredibly burnt. The middle of the pizza was wet like the olives and veggies hadn’t been drained first. It was inedible, not even my husband would eat it. Despite conveying this to our server we never heard from a manager and got a whopping 8% off of the pizza that sat there entirely uneaten.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on November 12, 2022Sarah, I am so sorry for your experience. This is not what we want to see from a service or food quality level. As you pointed out, our reviews are typically good so we really let you both down on this night and on such a special night when you decided to check our place out. I am beyond disappointed. If you ever do decide to give us another chance please introduce yourself to my wife Debbie or I (Jim), I feel like we owe you.

    In town for the Pikes Peak Marathon and wanted to try Basil & Barley which was right across the street from the hotel. Wow is all I have to say. The namesake pizza Basil & Barley is amazing made with their activated charcoal dough. Manager was also very nice and showed passion for their product and great recommendations for wine. We will definitely be coming back next year when we do the PPM again.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on October 22, 2022Thank you. Hopefully the marathon went well. I hiked Pikes Peak but definitely did not RUN up Pikes Peak

    I’ve always had a great experience with the food and this time was no different. Our server was the best this time though. I can’t recall her name, but her service and timing was perfect. Got our drinks to us and gave us enough time to choice appetizers and our main entree. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and made perfect recommendations. I hope she stays on and we get to have her next time. She refilled our beverages several times and was attentive and seemed approachable and nice.

    First impressions were noisy, cramped, but cute layout. We had a reservation so getting seated wasn't a problem and we secured a booth. Our server was very pleasant and got our drinks delivered. We ordered the charcuterie to start and it was very good, though they were out tellaggio. The jam and meats and cheeses were excellent and well priced. We then ordered two pizzas. The Vesuvio was disappointing as several of us thought the crust was on the raw side. The other pizza was very good. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on September 6, 2022Thank you for your feedback. The Vesuvio is one of our favorite pizzas, but one of the toughest pizzas to get right. Same reasons we had to get rid of our stuffed crust opetions, the 1000° oven doesn't give us enough time to cook things through if there are too many toppings or the curst is too thick. That said we are really glad you enjoyed your expereince with us.

    Our waitress was very sweet and helpful but neither of us loved our food. The gluten-free crust was yummy but overall the basil and barley pizza was too salty…in fact had to ask for some diced tomatoes to put on it to be able to eat it. My husband said his pizza was fine but didn’t love it. For the price, we prefer pizza from other places.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on July 31, 2022Thank you for the feedback. We apologies that you did not enjoy your pizza. We do not add salt to the any of the ingredients on the Basil and Barley pizza. However, the Panchetta, Artichokes, and cheeses all can be salty. Perhaps if you decide to give us another chance we can choose a different option with less salty ingredients.

    We placed a 7:15 p.m. reservation for this evening and arrived at 7:08 p.m. When we arrived, we were thanked for putting in a reservation and then told we’d have to sit either in the bar seating area or at a high table. There were 2 booths and a low table available but we were told we couldn’t be seated at any of those tables. I’m a disabled veteran who had just parked in a handicap slot and limped into the restaurant, so I laughed at first… but she was serious. We decided to take the high table and pray for the best. 🤷🏻‍♀️ A few minutes later, an able-bodied couple came in and were immediately seated in a 4-person booth, no h situation and no questions asked. I figured the food would make up for the terrible hostessing but found out quickly, that wouldn’t be the case. The Bruschetta appetizer had NO flavor; our pizzas weren’t anything near to Napoletana standards (we were stationed in Italy for 3 years, so we know). We had two glasses of alleged red Italian wine that were simply NOT worth the $11 price tag each that we paid. Our waitress was rushed for no reason and nearly cut my 19 yr old son with a pizza cutter as she clacked down the oils, pepper, and Parmesan cheese that were supposed to be accompaniments to our pizzas. Our drinks were clacked down in the same manner… to include refills. My Parma specialty pizza did NOT include Prosciutto di Parma ham as was advertised. The prosciutto used was too thick and nowhere near melted the way it’s supposed to when eaten (again, we were stationed in Italy for 3 years… we know). The burrata cheese was also hard on top, and the plums were off-putting, to say the least. We had reservations set for the upcoming USAFA Parents Weekend but, thanks to this experience, have cancelled those and saved ourselves any further disappointment.
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on July 31, 2022I am very sorry for this experience. Thank you for the feedback we will talk to our staff about you review, because this is NOT how we have trained our staff to be accommodating to our customers. This is very upsetting to me. Also we get a ton of compliments from people who have lived in Italy and visited about our wine selection and our pizzas so I am very sorry that this entire experience did not even remotely live up to expectations. Please accept my apologies.

    My husband and I went on Saturday afternoon (7/16) for the first time. We were excited to have authentic Neopolitan pizza like we did in Italy, and it had received many great reviews. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!! I get Neopolitan style pizza should have a bit of char, but the bottom of my pizza crust was completely burned to ashes. I’m pretty easy to please and haven’t sent anything back in years, but I sent this back. She offered to have it remade, and it came out completely burned again! I was polite and just took it. Really frustrating for something that costs $18. It was completely inedible, it was eating complete charcoal, couldn’t taste anything but burned ashes. Our poor waitress who was very nice said “their oven was dirty, hence the burned remnants from all the other pizzas”. Poor quality, product and cleaning practices. Wanted to give it zero stars but it wouldn’t let me. It was far from Neopolitan and absolutely terrible. Waste my money, saves yours! Makes me really miss Ducas!
    

    Basil & Barley Pizzeria NapoletanaResponded on July 31, 2022Very sorry for this experience, our oven should never be "dirty" it is a 1000° oven and if there are ashes we train to move them to the side by the fire.

    We lived in Naples for two years. The pizza is as excellent as that.

    Truthfully we hadn’t been to B&B since before the pandemic when you could barely get a table. It used to be difficult to get in. We were surprised and a little worried that there were few diners during dinner hour last night. The food was just as scrumptious and a delightful experience as it used to be. The two of us shared a salad and the Suprema pie. Oh my! The ingredients are top notch and the dough is as good as it gets. This is a pizza Italy would be proud of. Apparently the original owner sold to new owners and his old friends stopped coming in protest. The new owners, we were told, are a small family business who deserve our support. I’d hate to see a Mom and Pop with food as good as this not make it. On Wednesdays all bottles of wine are half price. If you are a wine drinker, it’s almost stupid not to order one. We shared a delicious zin from Rabble in Paso Robles. I hope others give B&B a try and discover what a gem it truly is.
