Love the pizza! Food here is spot on Italian, very authentic. Staff was amazing and very helpful regarding ingredients and menu items . We come from Denver to the Springs few times a month to visit my daughter at UCCS. When we come down we love to try different restaurants especially pizza spots. This is our new favorite by far! We will definitely be back!

We were attempting to go to a nearby restaurant, and after an hour's wait, we discovered Basil and Barley Got immediately sat and explained we were pretty hungry and our waitress was awesome. Immediately brought bread and drinks. Shortly after the other appetizers. Everything was delicious. I had their signature Basil and Barkey pizza with the charcoal crust, and it was also amazing. Just about everyone cleaned their plates. Wonderful experience, can't wait to come back!

I’m definitely a sucker for Neapolitan style pizza. Basil and Barley is one of my favorites in town. One of the things I really like about this place is the menu isn’t traditional. Even their version of pepperoni is different, but in a good way. Instead of the same old toppings you get at most pizza places, here you get to experience new flavors. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great! I highly recommend you give them a try, you’ll be glad you did.

We've been here several times and been amazed each time. Recently went to a well reviewed, historic pizzeria in Boston but not even they could compete with Basil & Barley. Each pizza we've tried here has been great. Can't even pick a favorite because we love them all. The charcoal crust is special...you have to love it because of the beautiful color. I don't want this place to get so busy that the wait times increase, but I can't help leaving a glowing review.

Finally got a chance to go here for some pizza, and man, I wish I had come by sooner. It's evident from walking in they know their pizza, as in well made in the traditional style in a super hot oven on a just tossed crust. Delicious and so hot when it gets to the table out of that flaming hot oven. I got the restaurant special pizza, and it was crispy and cheesy and really well done. The charcoal crust was a little bit of a surprise but didn't change the flavor. Highly recommend getting any of the pizzas here, and can't wait to return
