About Basilico Pizzeria

Basilico turns out genuine Neapolitan pizza from an open dining room hearth in Midland. Guests take in the rhythmic spectacle of the pizzaiolos stretching fermented dough before it hits the roaring stone oven. Thin crusts emerge with puffed, airy borders, finished with prosciutto and mortadella shaved to order right on the commercial deli slicer. The room stays lively and casual—ideal for lingering over mushroom arancini, a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and sweet Nutella dessert pizza.

  • Open Forno Baking: Stretched and fired right in the dining room inside an open stone oven operated by dedicated pizzaiolos.
  • Freshly Sliced Salumi: Cured Italian meats like prosciutto and mortadella are shaved fresh on a commercial slicer just before serving.
  • Neapolitan Crusts: Long-fermented dough bakes into a thin, foldable base with light, puffy edges.

Why Choose Basilico Pizzeria

Handcrafted Neapolitan pizza, sliced-to-order cured salumi, and genuine Italian warmth in Midland.

  • Carefully Fermented, Airy Crusts

    Dough undergoes careful long-fermentation to yield an airy, digestible crust with ideal chew and blistered crispness.

    The dough was spot on — light, airy, with that perfect balance of chew and crispness.

  • Fresh-Sliced Cured Meats

    Cured Italian meats such as prosciutto and mortadella are sliced directly to order on a commercial deli slicer rather than served from pre-cut packs.

    All food is incredibly fresh and the prosciutto is even sliced when needed on a commercial slicer.

  • Open-Hearth Oven Theatrics

    Guests watch skilled pizza makers stretch dough and feed the open stone hearth oven in full view of the dining room.

    The two men that work on the forno are absolutely fascinating to watch, they work seamlessly together not even needing to exchange a word when whipping out 4 pizza’s.

  • Warm, Welcoming Atmosphere

    Dining room energy features warm lighting, classic tunes, and glowing views of the woodfire hearth.

    The the soft music in the background also added to the atmosphere and the pizzas cooked in the pizza oven in front of us also added to this.

  • Marinara Pasta

    Pasta was amazing too! They really didn’t go gentle with those seafood. More than enough of mussels, squid and prawn in each bite which were all cooked perfectly.
