Breakfast Burritos are like an undiscovered continent of food that just popped onto my radar a few years ago, and ever since I have been Lewis & Clark. This place recently switched from Rise n' Shine Biscuits (meh) to offering burritos, and I noticed a lack of any HONEST reviews on the burritos (looking at you Paula and Lauren--let's stick to reviewing the food and not the sour grapes, shall we?), so allow me to be the first: 1) This being a pizza place they have transferred the model over to burritos, but in all the wrong ways: You start with the basic burrito and are charged for each "topping". The price is still reasonable for a GIANT burrito, but the set up messes with my head and makes me order cautiously when I really just want to relax and get what I want. A better feature to borrow from the pizzeria model would be to make your own tortillas to order--warm, pillowy and soft--THAT would really set this place apart! 2) Despite the persistence of "Bacon Bits", bacon is ALWAYS better in slabs. Rather than dice it up, throw 3-4 sticks of bacon in there whole--I'll take it from here. 3) Green Chile SAUCE is essential. It is the rug that ties the room together. Do it. 4) Potatoes on a breakfast burrito should be crispy enough to stand on their own, and you should know when you've hit one as you work your way down. The hash browns that I had were in the "flimsy zone" and they just kind of blended in with the egg, adding nothing to the experience. In a good burrito, every bite is unique. Consider using country fries. 5) Finally, WRAP THOSE BURRITOS TIGHT!!! Mine had stuff falling out the edge--Burrito Sin #1. The final verdict is that it was "just okay". I will come back after they have had time to find their groove. It's a great set up with a lot of room for improvement, but also a lot of opportunities to set themselves apart from the rest.

Totally shocked. Just ordered a large Veggie pizza and went int to pay and it is $26. No pizza is worth $26. Too much and the owner is typically high and mighty with an attitude. Done with him and his high priced pizza.

Awful. The breakfast burritos are terrible as is the coffee. We threw both the coffee and burritos away after having one bite and one sip. My husband and I LOVED Rise and Shine biscuits and coffee, often taking walks there on the weekends. We are so disappointed that Basil Docs kicked them out and is now serving terrible food. We have never tried the pizza and definitely will not now.

I will not be eating at any Basil Docs again. I am very displeased with what appeared to be very greedy owners booting Rise and Shine Biscuits from their space so they could take over the coffee and breakfast crowd ad well. It seemed be a successful business arrangement that benefited both parties. I know several others besides myself that tried Basil Docs only after visiting for biscuits. About the pizza: decent pizza with some fun flavors and topping options, but overpriCed. I'm done with you Basil Docs!

My husband and I used to go to Basil Doc's a fair amount, but after they kicked out Rise and Shine Biscuits (our favorite weekend spot) we decided Basil Doc's is not worth our business. Better pizza is available all around Denver, and it is not worth supporting a business that is willing to shut down a neighborhood staple.

We had an absolutely horrible experience at this place. Ordered two pizzas, one white, one red. The white one was so overcooked that the cheese had become burnt bubbles that disintegrated on contact, leaving nothing but inedible crust. The red one had no discernible sauce on it and was dry as a bone. Took both pizzas back and got a huge amount of attitude for my trouble -- the guy behind the counter actually argued about it. Newsflash to the manager: Teach your employees that if a customer comes in complaining, make it right -- unless you want to lose their business. Which they just did. Two words: Overrated -- overpriced!

We ordered 3 pizzas last night and I loved them all. The pesto pizza was very fresh and unique and I was surprised to find whole pine nuts in the sauce, which was very yummy. The Big Wheel pizza was the most popular with it's lovely Canadian bacon, salty pepperoni, sausage and bacon - I was very sad that there weren't any pieces leftover. We also had the Pinnarello which was a white veggie pizza with sun dried tomatoes and very fresh mushrooms. I can't say I really tasted the white sauce though. The hooked us up with a bunch of ranch (a must), which was only 50 cents for a small container. The pizza is not cheap ($25 for a large), but it's worth the splurge when you have company and don't have time to cook. Everyone was happy and full! The only strange thing was the fact that the employee told me that we were their only customer all day when I stopped in around 6. Made me wonder if I was missing something. :)

Do not buy a groupon! Thought we were going out to a nice restaurant and it was take out only. Then they made us wait 30 minutes. When we came back they hadn't even taken the order! HORRIBLE! Ruined our Saturday night. Not to mention it was 30 minutes away.

We ordered two large pizzas for a party of six and we ended up with leftovers! This pizza is so good though & truly hits the spot. We ordered one straight pepperoni and one white pizza recommended by the lady on the phone. The crust first off is some of the best and this comes from a former New Yorker. While living in the city I sought out some of the best slices and this is quite reminiscent in texture both the thinness/perfect crispness of the crust but also the bite/chewy texture. I love it. I really love good pizza and these were great. The pepperoni stands out as different not just boring little circles but bundles of tiny chunks or something. Whatever they do its amazing peppery and perfect and not too saucy. Fold a slice in half like a New Yorker and your basically there. The white pizza we got recommended was absolutely creamy and delicious. Chicken, spinach, artichoke, garlic, of course basil. It was the perfect contrast to the pepperoni and ensured everyone in our party was satisfied. Whenever we visit Denver we insist on a visit and this was no exception. We will be back!
