I was excited to try since the pictures looked good. Unfortunately, the pizza nor the service made it a great experience. Pizza was bland sauce, ingredients dumped in the middle. My first time, with no one else there, I was deciding what to get, and the unsmiling gal taking my order used her body language to show her impatience. The others were just as low energy. I will try it one more time to see if it was an off day or what. The owners may want to do some training on customer service and how to make a pizza. PS: the Chipolte next door was packed!

First time at Live Basil Pizza. Four employees working a busy dinner rush. Employees were friendly enough, but overwhelmed. I ordered the Arugula, Truffle and Wild Mushroom pizza with a side of natural meatballs. Both standard items on their menu — nothing special. I waited 30 minutes total, to walk out with my order — which they got wrong. I give the employees credit, because apart from being overwhelmed and getting my order wrong, they did have fairly good attitudes and we’re definitely trying. The saving grace? The pizza was delicious!(The meatballs, just okay.)

It’s a little pricey but the food is delicious. Made to order or get something from the menu pizza, cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients. My only complaint again, would be a little pricey and could be a little more generous with the toppings.

Everytime I come in it makes me love this place more! What’s better than fresh baked pizza! Great friendly service!

Pros — gluten free pizza option. Cons — tiny portions, slow service(with lots of workers) and high price. They barely put on sauce and toppings and it seems like most of the workers stand around doing nothing. I can make a better GF pizza at home for 1⁄3 of the price.

So many violations occurred this evening. A small baby was behind the counter in the food area AND near the oven being held by a young woman. The woman opened several food containers while holding the baby. AND the baby seat was left on the counter where the food was being prepared. Unsanitary for the patrons and unsafe for the baby!!!

The place is nice but was completely empty at lunch time which is not a good sign. Being the only two people in a place the staff acted bothered that we were there. I guess they wanted a completely empty restaurant. So the concept menu and pizza was good. But the sullen staff either needs some serious customer service training or to be replaced with people that want to deal with the public. Bcs the pizza was good I will try and again and hope for a better customer service experience.

Since I love pizza… My mom and I stopped in(she’s my pizza partner) and again it is personal style … The guy who took our order was really cute! So bonus points there… I order the usual and mom gets a cheese … We get to teas and go sit . The pizzas come fast .so that’s a plus! I can say the ingredients are fresh and the pizza is pretty tasty … I love pizza and I try a lot out… This pizza is on the healthier side… Something to say about greasy New York style though… that’s how pizza is ment to be… At least I think … So to sum it up — the pizza here is the new age of healthy(gluten free if your trying to claim that crap) pizza in America … I like both… Real true American greasy fatty cheese and healthy more Italian style … I pie is kinda both… way down wadsworth but a mix of you wanna try that too– thanks hot guy that took our order :) I took a picture of my pie if you care–

I guess the«Mean Girls» staff rules. Spoke with manager who didn’t seem overly concerned and didnt bother to respond to my emails until I sent several after she asked me for more info on my experience. That was adding insult to injury. Talked to corporate who said it was being addressed and sent me a couple coupons. We went 3 times and bought 8 pizzas. 3 of those were good 2 were burned and one had a hairball. A couple coupons doesn’t make up for that or the managers indifference. We MAY go to another location but none are near us but we won’t go back to this one unless they get new staff. They couldn’t tell me that was or wasn’t happening so won’t go back to that location. Not sure if the others are managed better. I worked for a national popular food change in marketing and this is not how you grow stores and a brand. This is how you go out of business.

The ingredients are fresh, but the pizza is not good enough to put up with the consistently bad service. Everything there has gone downhill since the day they opened. The crews of young girls they’ve had working there over the past several months act like you are inconveniencing them when you come in to order. It’s not worth the hassle.

Since my last post this place has since dropped the vegan pizza from the menu. They still carry the vegan cheese but it costs almost $ 13 for a 10″ pie. Seems not totally worth it

I went here for a dinner on a weekday. The place was totally empty.(could be because of weekday) I had been here specially to have the White pizza with Arugula on it. There were a few pizza doughs already rolled into pizza rounds and waiting to be topped. Hence i cant say if this was fresh… The description of this pizza said«marinated mushrooms» but while eating it didn’t seem like it was marinated. They were plain mushrooms slices. So may be there were marinated in «water?» :) After we placed the order, a young guy started making the pizza with White Sauce. He poured the white sauce on the pizza dough from a bottle, and then smelt the bottle and discussed something with another attendant. I don’t know what he was checking, but it definitely didn’t give me a good feel of whatever was going on. We had been here for the first time, hence were not aware that we have to help ourselves with the plates/spoons/tissues/water The person who took our order didn’t inform us either. After we got the pizza we realized that may be its for us to get it. The pizza was not great either.(no seasoning) Also they DONOT have even 1 hot beverage. It was a very chilling eve, and i was hoping to have any kind of Hot beverage. Im not going here again.

Heard about this restaurant from a friend a couple months ago. Never got around to trying it out until today. I am very happy that we did! I love pizza and enjoy the oven baked style thin crust. Live Basil does that! The ingredients used are fresh and your pizza is made right in front of you. You can choose from one of their own creations or choose to make your own from a personal menu. I opted to try out two of their pizzas… I eat a lot, sadly, but makes for fun times! The pizza size itself is about the size of a regular medium pizza from most pizza places. I think like 10 – 12 inches. I got The Hot One and the Rocky Mountain Pizza. The Hot One had a red sauce with Italian cheese blend, natural pepperoni, spicy giardiniera, red pepper flakes and spicy oil. The Rocky Mountain pizza had a red sauce, fresh mozzarella, bacon, hatch green chile, and red onion. These pizzas were super delicious and pretty healthy! They were exactly to my liking and I felt good eating them. I would definitely come back to try the other pizzas! Highly recommended!

Love this place and how different it is from the other chain pizza places. The pizzas are made to order in front of you with fresh ingredients. Then baked in a fire oven. The options are endless. I always create my own. This time I had red sauce, goat cheese, Italian sausage, green chiles and arugula. Amazing! Nice addition to the area!

Been here a few times now and they are consistently delicious. Whether it’s the vegetarian pizzas or the natural 3 meat, you can taste the fresh ingredients. They grow their own basil in house and it’s a really nice touch! They even have vegan options. The line is really friendly and efficient too! Takes less than 10 mins for your pizza to be ready.

This place was a pleasant surprise for sure. I went with the boyfriend after work on friday night and it was bustling with activity. The specialty here is their basil. They use fresh basil plants displayed all over the kitchen. The pizza is reasonably priced and extra topping are actually FREE! I got the wild mushroom, arugula, and truffle oil pizza and he got the three meat with mushrooms and fire roasted corn. Everything was around 20 bucks and the service was fast and friendly. I would definitely go back again for lunch or take a couple pizzas home for the family.

While it is always nice to see gluten-free options at restaurants, the appreciation ends when said gluten-free crust tastes like cardboard. Not only was it incredibly unappetizing, but it was cooked to a literal crisp. It was more like biting into a hard cracker than pizza crust. It was disappointing to say the least. My husband and I ordered a white pizza(carbonara with no ham or cracked pepper) and a pepperoni — both gluten-free. We ate them, but I can’t say I really enjoyed them. I would give this place another shot if they would come up with a better gluten-free crust recipe.

The pizza here is amazing. I love the sizes, the gluten-free option(which is really good), the crazy amount of veggies on the pizzas, organic soda, and the compostable drinks cups. We bought two and brought them to my friends’ house, which elicited a lot of «Wow, that looks really good!» responses. I do suggest the Live Basil extend their local foods and healthy lifestyle by providing recycling and composting. Definitely coming back!

Interesting trip to get my fried chicken fix and checked out the GRANDOPENING :) of Live Basil Pizza. Everything is right in front of you as they prepare your Pie. I had a truffle mushroom on white sauce and it was pretty tasty. The pie was cooked in a fired oven which is a nice touch even thought it wasnt wood fired it was cooked crispy. the way I like it. The pie was around 8 bucks which I thought was reasonable given my ingredients and it was just enough to leave me satisfied. I am heading back soon to try another pie and see if its really as good as the first trip indicated!
