Pizzaria Basilico

Lagoa Cuisines: Pizza

About

The best place on the island for pizza, Basilico serves them plain and simple, thin-crusted, in 30 varieties. If you order a large you can choose three different flavors. The options include the Portuguesa, with ham, slices of boiled egg, and olives; the ricotta, with mozzarella, tomato sauce, fresh ricotta, and slices of tomato; or the spicy Maçarico, with tomato sauce, sausage, hot peppers, and onions. The patio sprawls out in several directions and a roaring fireplace adds much-needed warmth on chilly evenings.
