Tomato & Basil Pizzeria

Tomato and Basil Pizzeria brings the warmth of Italy to Bishopston, with a purist’s respect for dough. Their bases are slow-fermented for 48 to 72 hours before meeting the heat of the stone, yielding light, flavoursome crusts that are kinder on the palate. A rustic tomato sauce and fior di latte mozzarella, sourced from Italy, keep things honest, while a steadfast commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients does the rest.

On the menu, familiar Italian comforts rub shoulders with crowd-pleasers and a nod to mezze: think margherita and quattro formaggi alongside prima pepperoni or prima chorizo; an ultimate vegan for plant-based purists; little margherita and little pepperoni for younger appetites. Starters might begin with mac 'n' cheese or a chicken caesar, and the finale could be a spoonful of house tiramisu or a warm chocolate brownie.

Glasses are not forgotten: softs run from sodas and juices to still or sparkling water, while the beer list nods to Peroni and local breweries. A well-stocked back bar spans gin, tequila, whiskey, vodka and rum, with cocktails mixed to order, and house wines that keep things easy.

Come for the craft, stay for the simple pleasure of good pizza done right. Reserve a table, share a slice, and let the dough rise to the occasion.
