Like literally clean off, I lost my socks and never found them but it was worth it and I'd lose them all over again. If I could rate this place a million stars, I would. I've lived in Texas about a year now looking for an Italian restaurant that wows me and this went beyond my expectations. Wonderful experience! Wonderful food!

We could have had a few slices a piece at the most and it would have been more than enough food. We even got the smallest (14") pizza! Next time....we will get it by the slice!!! The service was efficient and I love how they bring you your order and not make you walk up and get it at the counter. Very accomodating and we would definitely return if we are in Taylor again.

We ordered the food takeaway, and the service was quick and the food was hot. Now, onto the taste…read more My wife ordered the Margherita pizza, which is one of the best she has had. I ordered the spaghetti with everything, which really hit the spot. As for the ambiance, it has a small dine-in area that was clean and well-maintained, though a bit dated. I would dine there without hesitation, and it will definitely be our go-to place for pizza or pasta.

The pizza was well above average, and we had a great time. We look forward to visiting their new location next time!

Who knew Bastrop, Texas, would have some of the best pizza and pasta I've had in a long time?…read more I'm in town for a six-week work assignment and decided to try Bastiano's for takeout. All I can say is wow. I ordered the creamy garlic pasta with chicken, spinach, bacon, and onions, along with a supreme pizza, and both were outstanding. The pasta was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without being overly heavy. The chicken was tender, the bacon added the perfect savory bite, and the spinach and onions balanced everything beautifully. Then there was the pizza. This wasn't one of those pizzas where you have to hunt for toppings. Every slice was loaded with pepperoni, ham, sausage, olives, mushrooms, and vegetables. The crust had a great texture, the cheese was perfectly melted, and every bite was packed with flavor. One of the best parts is the value. The portions were generous enough that this takeout order will easily feed me for several days, which makes the quality even more impressive. As someone who wasn't expecting to discover amazing Italian food in Bastrop, Bastiano's was a pleasant surprise. If you're local or just passing through town, do yourself a favor and give them a try. I'll definitely be ordering again before my assignment is over.

TLDR: Good pizza at reasonable prices but the wait time is unreasonably long…read more Pretty solid pizza here. Fully customizable. I built my own white pizza with garlic butter herb sauce, fresh mozz, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. It was pretty tasty. I was STARVING so maybe that amplified the flavor. This brings me to my next point... Pizza takes FOREVER. I clocked it and it was a full hour from the moment we ordered. This was particularly unpleasant because I was waiting in the car with my two bored and hungry toddlers. If you have kids, you get it. Not ideal. By the way, we tried to call ahead and no one picked up the phone (we tried a couple times). I should also add that the prices are very reasonable here. The kids menu pizzas are very cheap and more than enough food to fill them up.

NGL the prices were a bit scary but once I took that first bite ‍. This pizza is actually good it's better than good. I was telling myself a small is going to be just too small and to my surprise it's actually a good size. The amount of toppings they add Whoa! Plus they give the option to add the other half of one of their specialty. So it's a win win. Let me not forget to mention how welcoming both of the men working are. Y'all definitely got a new customer. Now to continue to eat this pizza .

NEIGHBORS KITCHEN & YARD -- BASTROP, TEXAS…read more It's currently approximately $197° in Texas and somehow Doug and I STILL walk into restaurants asking the same ridiculous question: "Can we sit outside?" At Neighbors Kitchen & Yard? YOU ABSOLUTELY WANT TO SIT OUTSIDE. Oh. My. Stars. Their multi-level outdoor space overlooks the Colorado River and has plenty of shade cloth, fans AND misters--which means even those of us determined to dine outdoors during the surface-of-the-sun portion of the Texas calendar can actually enjoy ourselves. Neighbors is located at The Crossing in Bastrop, which is a really cool little destination of its own with other businesses and shopping nearby. But let's get to the important stuff... BEER. CHEESE. DOGS. GREAT SERVICE. We happened to visit while they're trying out a Golden Hour special for September from 4-6 PM. Selected draft beers are $2 off, and appetizers--except wings--are also $2 off. Naturally... We considered it our responsibility to thoroughly investigate both specials. For research purposes, obviously. We tried FOUR different beers. Doug's winner was the Blonde. Mine? The BLUEBERRY BEER over ice. AWWEEEE SHITTTT. That was GOOD. Then came the food. OG Warm Cheese Dip Phenomenal. I would happily sit beside the Colorado River with that cheese dip and a beer and call it dinner. Doug ordered the Brussels sprouts. TO. DIE. FOR. Seriously, we were completely happy with everything we tried. But here's another thing that will get me every single time... They LOVE dogs. Not "we technically allow dogs." DOG FRIENDLY. Our pups were welcomed and immediately received two separate bowls of water. Little details like that tell me a lot about a place. And then there's Sadi, our server. SPECTACULAR. Friendly, attentive and one of those servers who helps turn a good outing into a place you're already talking about visiting again before you've even left. Great food. Great beer. Great specials. Fantastic service. Dogs genuinely welcomed. Beautiful Colorado River views. And an outdoor setup designed by people who apparently understand that some of us are stubborn enough to sit outside in Texas no matter WHAT. We LOVE it here. We will absolutely be back. Which brings us to... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 5 out of 5 Real Pants Would Doug and I leave the campground and put on real pants to come back? AWWEEEE SHITTTT... apparently we'd put them on in 197° weather. Neighbors didn't just earn all five pairs. They earned 'em with a river view, cold beer, warm cheese dip and water bowls for the dogs. That's how you knock our britches off. Portions were larger. We dove right in before pics.

We spent a couple of hours here (on a Saturday) because we were just chillin' and not in a hurry. The covered patio was perfect of a hot July day! We had an appetizer and a couple of Iron Bridge beers first. Then we ordered the Caprese Sandwich and a large pizza that was half "Gettin' figgy wit it" and half "Riverside Veggie". OMG! It was amazing! We also had the whiskey flight, an Old Pro and a Gold Rush. We completely loved everything that we ordered. And again, Sianna was such a great server. Very attentive and friendly without being over the top. We definitely will come back and ask for her next time we visit Bastrop. Great job guys! I can easily see why y'all are voted the best pizza! Thanks for such an amazing experience

Great night with my friends at The Stone Cellar! Prices are high ($10 per small pour of wine), but…read morethe atmosphere, friendliness and food make up for it. Brandi was our waitress. She was very friendly and fast getting our items to us. We thoroughly enjoyed the live music and dance space. It seems many of the patrons were locals. They were all warm and even asked us all to dance several times. The outside perimeter has a wrap around porch that would be great for warmer months (we were there in November). The chips and queso were great. The chips themselves were piping hot. The fried green tomatoes served with ranch are delicious. I recommend this place fir anyone wanting a fun night out with small town feel and charm.
