Amazing pizza, nicely decorated restaurant with paintings that are for sale and very friendly staff. Open til late on the weekend for sit in and discovered after going to a gig, really wish we lived closer. Highly recommend the hummus and Tiramisu too!
My favourite pizza place in Bristol! Since finding this Pizzeria with my Spanish boyfriend late one evening, we've returned four times and also brought my family too. The environment inside is relaxed, friendly and classy, with interesting art and decor to look at. The pizza flavours are great, I've tried different meat or chicken based ones each time and enjoyed all, and their gluten-free bases are high quality! The night I brought my mum with us we were also gifted a delicious free tiramisu!
If you're looking for a pizza that hits the spot, this place delivers — literally and figuratively. The crust is the perfect mix of crispy and chewy, the sauce has just the right tang, and the toppings? Fresh and generous. Whether you're a pepperoni purist or a vegetarian, there’s something for every taste. Service was friendly and quick, and the vibe is cozy without trying too hard. Great for a casual dinner, a late-night craving, or just when life calls for cheese. ....and if you are a gin and tonic lover, you are in for a treat.
I recently visited Tomato & Basil Pizzeria and had a mixed experience that’s worth sharing for anyone considering a meal there. To start, I ordered the jalapeño cheese balls, which were unfortunately disappointing. They arrived cold in the middle and had that unmistakable texture and taste of something microwaved from frozen. Definitely not fresh, which was a letdown given they sounded like a great appetizer on the menu. For the main, I had a cheese base pizza topped with goat cheese, halloumi cheese, onions, and peppers. The pizza itself was cooked well with a nicely baked crust and a good balance of toppings. However, it could have really benefited from more cheese on the base, which felt a bit sparse and slightly dry in some bites. The cutlery was another low point as mine was noticeably dirty, which really detracted from the dining experience. On the positive side, they did serve nicely chilled water, which was a pleasant and refreshing touch. The ambience of the restaurant was one of its stronger points. It is well laid out with a thoughtful design and good background music that made for a relaxing atmosphere. Tomato & Basil isn’t a bad place to stop by for a quick pizza, especially if you’re nearby and want a casual bite at a decent price. The interior is welcoming and the vibe is enjoyable. That said, there are definitely better pizza spots along Gloucester Road when it comes to both quality and consistency. The potential is there, but attention to detail, particularly with food freshness, presentation, and cleanliness, would go a long way in improving the overall experience. A decent option, but not one I’d rush back to, but wouldn't rule out not going again.
We called ahead to ask if we could still book, despite it only being an hour until they closed. But they accommodated our group of three. The service was impeccable, they were all friendly and polite. The glasses were crystal clear and the beer was ice cold (what more could you want?). The pizza was incredible, definitely authentic Italian pizza, I've eaten pizza all over Italy and this easily ranks among the best of them. Deliciously flavourful, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The atmosphere was nice, the way they have decorated, along with the music really makes you feel like you're abroad. The prices were extremely good as well, my pizza was one of the most expensive on the menu at only £14 (Dominos charge £24 for a pizza of the same size). 10/10 will absolutely be back.
Love the chicken and mozzarella sticks and jalapeño cheese bites. The pizzas are my favourite in Bristol too!
Really disappointing to receive a cold pizza that was blatantly carried on its side as it was all mashed up in one side of the box in what could only be described as a pile of vomit. It was supposed to be bbq chicken but the lack of topping was unbelievable with only 4/5 small chunks of chicken on the whole pizza. Very little sweetcorn and next to no cheese. The side salad for £5 was pitiful. All in all really disappointing. We have used Tomato and Basil a few times in the past but never again. It really is a shame we can’t add photos to these reviews.
We spent a couple hours there with family and friends. Pizza, appetisers, and salads are all made entirely from scratch in a warm and welcoming setting. My personal favourite pizza included goat cheese and caramelised onions. really delicious, crisp, and light pizza dough. You get a sense of serenity and comfort, as if you were in your own house. The personnel there is kind and friendly, just like our friends; imagine yourself there with family and friends. You may be sure to appreciate it.
Very friendly staff and great tasting pizzas with fresh ingredients. They also used to have the best gluten free base on the Gloucester Rd in Bristol but have stopped doing this option which is a deal breaker for me and my family.
We love Tomato & Basil, we only have pizza from them since they opened. The dough is very good and the flavour combinations are great. I really like the Italian classic, creamy goats cheese and the one with ‘nduja. The ones that say spicy are indeed really spice mind! Not like other places. Really recommend it!
