Awesome pizza joint!!!! Our super sweet waitress recommended the Carnivore pizza and it was probably the best 'meat lovers' pizza I've ever had. Just wonderful flavors and the right amount of meat toppings. We also got the Taco pizza and the Steak and Swiss pizza, and they were also delicious. I really liked this place and would go back. It felt like a cute Italian hole in the wall pizzeria. read more

See all

Absolutely the best thin crust pizza around, from the slightly tangy spice of the pizza sauce , crispy deliciousness of the crust, to the thick slab mozzarella cheesiness, truly is heaven in a mouthful. I've tried several of their pizzas, Tom's special is a fav: pineapple, pepperoni, Canadian bacon with extra cheese, they have a lot of other stuff on their menu, salads, pasta, appetizers but the best is the pizza, very friendly, welcoming staff always, affordable pricing, can't go wrong here. Another cool thing I'm loving is the herbed Parmesan. The picture is pepperoni, pork sausage, and extra cheese. read more

Basilleo's Pizza - Pepperoni, pork sausage, and extra cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Faribault, Minnesota

The pizza crust is paper thin and not to our liking. We were told it was hand tossed and expected thicker than paper. We ordered the Supreme House Special which included pepperoni. We asked them to hold the pepperoni and just add more of one of the other toppings that was included instead. No can do. We didn't think that was right. The sauce was spicy but ok. Service was ok but slow. Location was good and ambience nice. read more

Great pizza in Faribault MN! We were there for a hockey tournament twice. We had the pizza both times. Great homemade pizza with lots of toppings! read more

Pizza is good, kinda greasy for my liking though. I'd recommend the sandwiches. The atmosphere is a good experience and the people who work there are kind. If it's busy it might take a while to get your food. read more

I enjoy this pizza. Crust is nice and thin and sauce is tasty. Spicy sausage is good.

I decided to try their new location on Owatonna on my way south of the cities and I will not be back. This is one of the worst fresh pizzas I have ever had, without exaggeration. I need to watch my sodium and pizzas from everyone are normally high in sodium. If I can taste it, it's too high. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger pizza (I know not the wisest choice) and it is the saltiest pizza I have ever had in my life, with a side of the saltiest pickles I have ever had. The pizza probably wasn't cut well because it reformed again before I could get home into a glob. The pizza itself didn't hold together well, with the cheese and toppings wanting to slide off the crust. And it's extremely greasy, more noticeable as leftovers watching the oil bleed out. Why not 1 star? I didn't get food poisoning and the flavor was decent. Somehow I do believe a good pizza could be made, but they would have to change a lot. read more

Basilleo's Pizza - Leftover pizza, a bit overcooked, but bleeding oil everywhere. - Pizza Near Me - Faribault, Minnesota

I ordered and the pizza is over cooked or under cooked ALL of the time. It didn't use to be like that with the last manager or owner. The waiters are good but I usually order so don't trust me. The ambiance is nice there's nice dim lights that's all I know. read more

The pizza was done very well. Classic Minnesota style pub pizza. The sandwich my girlfriend got was also delicious. Highly recommended.

I have been through faribault several times and finally took the time to go here for a pizza. It was very good! This is a thin crust pizza with the crisp edges and chewy center crust with a good flavor. The sauce is good, and topping were generous and flavorful. I got a half and half with the house special and the Boss. Fun choices to put together. Service was pleasant and attentive... definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

This is a real pizza restaurant that is locally owned and operated! They also gave take out! The current owners and cooks have came really close, really close to the original Basilleo's Pizza! Just an FYI if the parking is full in front the place still has plenty of room, so park on a side street and try it out! My favorite is Italian sausage and pepperoni! read more

Ever since Tom took this over, it's been the best pizza joint in town. Prices are more than fair - in fact, I'd like to see them have sustained success so raise them on all menu items about 10%! Your consistency and quality is worth it. Will be back at least every other week if not weekly! read more

Driving through and didn't want Mexican. Stopped here and glad we did! Thin crust, great sauce, great service. Very friendly staff. Don't follow directions given. Drive another two blocks East and you'll see their sign on the left/North side-- between 1st and 2nd on Fourth Street. read more

this have been once of the worse pizza I have ever try I will recommend Pizza Hut instead. Don't waste time and money very disappointe.

We ordered a large House Special pizza along with Spaghetti and Meatballs. Both items were exceptionally delicious. The pizza had a thin crunchy crust, there was an overabundance of toppings, and the sauce was the best part. The Spaghetti came with a large slice of garlic bread, which we ordered toasted. This was Italian the way it should be. Fantastic Food, Fantastic Service, and the Price was very reasonable for what we received. read more

Basilleo's is a great place for great pizza. It is on the pricer end, but you are paying for the quality for sure. I will rave about their Hawaiian pizza until I can't no more. They are super willing to customize to how you want it, which is super helpful with picky husbands.. read more

Like all Chicagoans, I think I know a thing or two about pizza. That being said and considering it wasn't deep dish, the pizza was excellent! The thin crust was very crispy on the edges and firm in the middle. Perfect amount of cheese, and toppings. What stole the show was the sauce! It was the right consistency with just a hint of spice to give it a little more zip. Needless to say, the next time we are in town for hockey, we will make another visit. I would highly recommend Basilleo's! read more

Every time we come in for dinner everyone is friendly, the place is clean and the service is great! Some of the best pizza in Faribault! I definitely recommend stopping in. They have sandwiches, salads, spaghetti and pizza! Something for everyone and room for larger groups of people too! read more

Basilleo's Pizza - Best pizza in town!! - Pizza Near Me - Faribault, Minnesota

From the Faribault Daily News: Fans of Basilleo's Pizza will be pleased to know Faribault's acclaimed pizza place reopens Aug. 13 -- and the recipes haven't changed one bit. Tom Lester and his girlfriend, Connie Lee, heard about the business closing back in January and decided to revive the restaurant into Basilleo's Pizza 2.0. Lester is the former owner/operator of an Owatonna pizzeria, and Lee's food service experience includes two restaurants in Owatonna. read more

Excellent pizza, great service and friendly owners. The rest of the menu also looks great, will definitely be back by to try some of their other dishes. read more

Service was great and the pizza was fabulous! I live in the twin cities but always look forward to going to Basilleo's!

We hadn't tried "Basilleo's 2.0" yet and decided to give it a try today. We had been regulars at the old Basilleo's for years, until the last owner let the quality sink. We were hoping the old style pizza quality returned with the new ownership. We chose to got and pick up the pizzas instead of delivery. Looking in the store, it was very open and looked new. They did a great job on the remodel. We got two large pizzas, pepperoni and onion as well as sausage and onion. Both were done perfectly. There were plenty of toppings and the sauce was perfect. Crust was perfectly baked and it was all very tasty. It's not the cheapest pizza in town. But the quality was worth the cost. Would highly recommend you visit! read more

Great family owned restaurant food was fine service was great and everyone was super friendly. What more could you want. Left feeling full and a smile on our face. We were a party of 5 and everyone felt the same read more

Basilleo's closed their doors January 1, 2018. They will be missed. http://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/business/article_78081b4b-69eb-5051-bdf1-d93ee90e2d40.html read more

Visited Basilleo's with some family that my sister and I were visiting and it was great! The place seemed small at first, but there are multiple seating areas as you go into the restaurant further. We were seated right away, which was great and our waitress, Connie, was wonderful! She kept our drinks full, checked in on us frequently, and even helped entertain my niece with pizza themed toys they had at the restaurant! She also noticed us struggling to get my niece to eat all of her dinner and was kind enough to bring her a surprise (toy duck and fruit snacks) once she finished eating everything! We had a great time here and will definitely make a note to come back once we are in Faribault again! read more

I should start by saying I was not a fan of the former Basilleo's and was not sad to see it go. However when it was announced it was reopening with new owners I felt I could give it a shot. We started by ordering pizza and actually were quite pleased with what we got. I had requested one substitution and was curtly denied, but I can live with that. Still a fairly good pizza. So when my mom came into town last night and we were looking for a place to eat I thought we would go in and try their pasta. Wow what a mistake. All pasta dishes come with a salad and buttered or garlic butter bread. I had a creamy Italian salad and the garlic bread with their combo platter. My dressing tasted strange, but the salad by itself was pretty impressive. Good lettuce, cheese and croutons. The garlic bread wasn't even toasted and was just buttered French bread. The combo plate has cannelloni, spaghetti and meatballs, and meat or spinach lasagna. The cannelloni meat had spice but was otherwise tasteless, the red sauce seemed like it was straight out of a jar and lacked flavor. It was just bland. My mom had the Alfredo and added shrimp and mushrooms. She asked before ordering if the mushrooms were fresh or out of a can. The server stated they were fresh. Upon getting the dish they looked like they were from a can. The shrimp were very cheap and tasted like it as well. I really wanted this restaurant to be good and to give us yet another choice in Faribault, but unless I want their pizza over all the others in town I don't foresee myself going back. read more

Great service good food at a good price. Dinned here on a Saturday night with a large group. Wait staff was very attentive. I would return here. read more

Very nice "individually owned" business. (We HATE and refuse to eat at ANY Franchises) (They necessarily SUCK consistently in all cases) Basilleo's makes GREAT Thin crust Pizzas. Don't know if they have a deep dish or not. They also have Great Spaghetti and meatballs! The service is moderately good, and the wait staff is friendly. It's a comfort food place, and they do this well. One minor complaint on Bread quality, (kind of weak, but fairly tasty anyways) but aside from that you'll generally get a great meal, and leave satisfied. The salads are also a bit weak, but this is not designed as a high end place. Just good dependable food. The pizza/Spaghetti sauce is good and strong, meatballs and sausage are great! Pastas are very good. A good place to bring your friends for a nice comfortable meal of good Italian cooking and conversation with good friends. Being they are independant, you'll meet people who will actually give a rat's #$% what they serve on your plate. We now regularly drive down from Apple Valley to enjoy their food. Well worth the cruise!! Enjoy read more

Basillio's is a fantastic locally-owned pizza joint in Faribault. Crust is thin and they pack each pizza with plenty of toppings. Sauce and crust were excellent, I'll definitely recommend them. Staff is super friendly also, take a look at their website for deals. Recommend if... A) You're "Occupy Pizza Hut" campaign flamed out, so eat here to support the little guy. B) You want to cut back...They cut the pieces small, so you can brag to your friends you ate 10 pieces, while still cutting down. C) You're looking for a good deal, there's daily specials ever day. read more

Despite some of the reviews which are older, we decided to have my Son and DIL's rehersal dinner here at Basilleo's. We wanted something simple, fairly fast and nothing too fancy. We talked to the owner who helped us decide on ordering and made good suggestions for serving a party of 35. We had pizza, salad, and beer and pop. They had the back room set up and ready to go for us and a waitress dedicated to just our party. Can't remember her name , but she was great......sorry!!!. When we were done with salad, the pizzas came out and we ordered a variety. All were hot thin crust and delicious. The spicy italian sausage and onion is a MUST!!! Very thin crust with ample toppings and not too greasy. Pizza that is not greasy is for cake-eaters!!! Pizza was cut in Milwaukee style small squares which was nice for getting a variety of pizza on each plate. All in all, Basilleo's did what they promised and it was just what we were looking for. Thank You!!! Too bad we live 8 hours away or this would become our new Sunday night pizza joint!!! Slammer!!! read more

This use to be the best pizza I ever had and that includes my college years. Recently they have changed the cheese and meats. Now it's really greasy and has a waxy taste. They would be smart to go back to the better ingredients. I also heard they are using frozen dough read more

Favorite of girlfriend and her sister, so we stopped in on a recent visit. I'm a thin crust fan, so this was up my alley. Pizza was decent, but nothing spectacular. Other items similar. Very family-friendly, though. read more

Best pizza around by far!! The staff is also very amazing and so friendly. The new owners are doing a fantastic job!!

We love this place, the pizza is awesome and the waitress was pleasant but last night the wait was ridiculous long. Our app of cheese bread took 25 min. Then another 25 min for our food that we ordered at the same time. We weren't informed of the wait time until 10 min after we ordered. I know they just reopened but you think they would have planned for this. We will be going back but maybe in a month or two after they got their ducks in a row. read more

Good pizza and friendly staff. If it's busy, expect to wait a while for your food. Table seating is small in the front room so things get crowded on the table with two pizzas. read more

Worst meal I've ever had. Salad was watery. Spaghetti was watery. Lasagna was hamburger layered between noodles. Cannelloni was a rock hard, dried log of meat wrapped in a piece of pasta. All of this was covered in sauce that wasn't bad. I gave up and decided to just eat the garlic bread dipped in the sauce but I couldn't even bite a piece off of the bread. It was so tough you could tell it had been microwaved. Worst meal EVER. read more

I paid $11 to have my taco salad and half order of buttered bread delivered. The bread amount was tiny and was hard when I got it. The meat on the taco salad was cold. I wouldn't spend my money on this place if I had a choice. Taco Johns is better...ughh! read more

Valentines Day so I realize they might be busy. She told me 30 min for delivery. It took 1 hr 20 min. Pizza cold. I asked for bread to be not heated. It had been microwaved into shoe leather and couldn't eat it. Come on...... But this was pretty similar to ordering two weeks ago when it wasn't a holiday so I guess I won't do that again. read more
