| - Incredible pizza. Ultra friendly service. A warm, inviting environment.
If you only read that far, it pretty much covers my experience at Base. We stopped in on a busy Friday night but were greeted promptly and with gusto from one of the owners who was also our server. We started out with the flatbread and house made dips. The two dips were perfectly portioned for the 8 slices of flatbread. I'm not sure what they were...besides really tasty. (The owner was incredibly busy, but I have no doubt he would have answered any questions that we had about the dish. We're just love trying new things, so we just went with it!)
The wines were written on a chalkboard on the wall. It seemed like they had a good selection, with glasses starting at $5. But we both prefer beer, so we ordered a few glasses. They were nice and cold, if slightly smaller than I would have liked for $6 a piece.
We chose the El Diablo to share. The pizza itself was a thing of beauty. A wood fired pizza can be a disaster if done incorrectly, but they certainly know what they're doing. The crust was crispy but not overly so, and spotted but not burnt. All of the ingredients were of the highest quality, which reflected in the incredible flavors. The tomato sauce was simple and fresh. It was topped with soppressata, kalamata olives, and peppers. It was slightly spicy but might be more intense for those who aren't acclimated to spicy dishes.
It was a little more than I spend on an average Friday pizza night, but the quality is so good that I can see myself coming back for sure. Plus, Tuesday nights they have half price pizzas. In other words, I think I've found a new night to go out for pizza!
