We prefer to end the weekend outside, where good food and a bottle of wine are waiting for us. It doesn't have to be elaborate, as long as it's good, like at Bastacosi. Favorite spot for an evening of eating with friends. With two locations in Utrecht, there is (almost) always a spot free at this Italian place, which definitely is in the running for best pizzeria in Utrecht. Because those crispy bases... they are fantastic, so tasty! At the back of the shop is a large, traditional wood oven. The kitchen is open, so you can watch your pizza go into the oven (and more fun, when it comes out!). You order at the bar, you get your own beers from the fridge. Nice and easy, as it should be with pizzas. Bastacosi

For those who are in Utrecht in December: Bastacosi will be at the event all month long with a mobile wood-fired oven. winter station at the ice rink in the Museum Quarter.
