Basil's Restaurant & Pizzeria, located in Greenville, NC, is a culinary gem that impresses patrons with its delicious cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Customers rave about their pizza, particularly favorites like the Founder's Pie and Mighty Meaty, which are generously topped and deliver a quintessential cheese pull experience that pizza enthusiasts crave. The sauces strike the perfect balance—neither overwhelming nor scant—but rather enhancing the rich flavors of the well-prepared dishes.

Beyond pizza, the menu features a variety of options that consistently receive high praise, including mouthwatering pasta and a standout Buffalo Chicken Dip that's so popular, it often sells out. Many reviewers highlight the creamy beer dip and chunky meatballs as must-try appetizers. The attention to detail in each dish, exemplified by the house-made blue cheese dressing and generously sized meat toppings, leaves diners satisfied and eager to return.

Furthermore, the staff at Basil's are noted for their friendly and attentive service, further enhancing the dining experience. With reasonable prices for high-quality food, and an inviting atmosphere, Basil's Restaurant & Pizzeria is undoubtedly a top choice for those looking to indulge in flavorful dining.

My husband and I cannot WAIT to come back here. The food was so delicious, the staff are always outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable especially for the high quality you get. We will certainly be back and highly recommend if you have the chance!

Basils is always a great place for drinks, apps and pizza! The beer dip is always creamy and delicious. I also love the pita bread wedges that come with it. The meatballs are also good. They aren't heavy on the sauce and it is chunky but they are topped with a layer of cheese so if you are expecting them to be swimming in sauce, they aren't. You can actually taste the meatball vs just tasting the sauce-meatball combo. My husband and I always order the Founder's Pie and Mighty Meaty. We never finish it so it's well worth the price. The pizzas may look small but they are heavily topped and are delicious. The sauce is perfect, not too much or too little and the pies are always heavy on the cheese which is what I like. Nothing beats a great cheese pull on a pizza and these always deliver. I also love how big/bulky the meat toppings are, even the dollops of mozzarella on the Founder's Pie are huge. I highly recommend them for their pizzas and also their cocktails! Ask for the drink menu and check out the daily specials on the back. The Ultimate Cosmo is top tier!

We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table to be cleaned but that didn’t bother us. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. We had salads, house made blue cheese dressing was excellent. Greek salad was delicious. Pizza and lasagna were outstanding. Will definitely return.

I had their famous (so much so they they're sometimes out of it!) Buffalo Chicken Dip with fried pita wedges. It was amazing as always. My Ahi Tuna Salad (I had blackened with oil & vinegar) was also excellent! The atmosphere and service were also great!

Visited with the wife while the kids were at VBS. Nice enough place, very quick service. Oddly enough, a little too quick... Tried Sebastian's Delight, wife tried the chicken linguini alfrado and we got the fried tortellini. Everything tasted amazing.

If you leave here hungry, you're doing it wrong! The food is fantastic. Everything my wife and I have tried has been wonderful. The service is top notch, with accommodations for dietary restrictions made easy. The seating is a little close quarters, so large parties may be a little loud. Other than that, this restaurant is definitely at the top of my list for Italian fare.
