Our story

When you come to visit BastaCosi you will experience the perfect combination of Italy and Utrecht. We are a truly Utrecht-based restaurant, with authentic Italian pizza. By fully focusing on pizzas and keeping the menu small, we can say with certainty that our pizzas are the best pizzas in Utrecht. We make our own sourdough, ensure the highest quality products and come up with the tastiest combinations ourselves.

We want you to feel at home. Really feel at home. So you can grab and order your own drinks at our bar. Sit down with your friends, family or loved ones and enjoy a relaxed and informal atmosphere at one of our three locations.

Our process

Sourdough

At our pizzeria, we’re all about Roman-style pizzas with those irresistible wafer-thin, crispy crusts that you can’t resist! We whip up our dough fresh every day using our beloved sourdough culture, which has been thriving for over 10 years. It not only gives our pizzas a unique, delicious flavor but also makes it easier for your body to break down gluten—so you can enjoy a healthier bite. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a slice to go, we can’t wait for you to taste the difference. Come join us for a pizza experience that’s as genuine as it is tasty!

Open kitchen

Step into any BastaCosi location, and you’ll instantly feel right at home! We’ve created a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes every guest feel like part of our family. From the cozy décor to the friendly smiles of our staff, everything is designed to put you at ease. Whether you're here for a casual meal with friends or a special gathering, our relaxed vibe invites you to kick back and enjoy every moment. We believe that good food tastes even better in a space that feels like home, so come on in, grab a seat, and let us take care of you!

Woodoven

At our pizzeria, we take pride in using a traditional wood-fired oven to bake our pizzas, a true gem in the city where such methods are rare due to local restrictions. This age-old technique not only helps us keep a cherished tradition alive, but it also gives our pizzas that unbeatable, smoky flavor and perfectly crispy crust. Each pizza is cooked to perfection in minutes, allowing the toppings to meld beautifully while enhancing their taste. We believe in honoring this unique approach because it truly elevates your pizza experience. Come savor the difference that our wood-fired oven makes—it’s a slice of history you won’t want to miss!
