This has got to be the closest to NY style pizza in all of Osceola County. The pizza was delicious, had a nice crust, and just the right amount of grease! Yes, I said grease because a proper NY pizza will have grease dripping out the back end as you sink your teeth into it. I am so glad I found this place!

We recently moved to Orlando. I must say that their pizza is awesome. They were really fast to deliver it. We were really surprise by how huge the pizza were! I would really recommend to friends.

Had a White Pizza today and a Sicilian on Thursday. Both were spot on! I love the atmosphere and the great service. I love that they have great phone customer service skills when I call and place an order and as well when I am greeted when I walk thru the door for a pick-up. The guys there make me feel welcome and it reminds me of my local pizza parlor back home in New York. Job well done! I will be back not only for the awesome food but the spectacular customer service!

I was very happy with their NY style pizza which was delivered promptly to our door! Nice crust, chewy texture, and just the right amount of toppings. Garlic twists were..well very garlicy)) and very good. They also have beef patties, which I found curious - what kind of patties can an Italian place have?? We tried one and it was a very good Jamaican spicy beef patty..

The best place for pizza that I have found around since moving from Boston. I wouldn't bother with any of the appetizers on the menu - tried a few, and they were definitely not worth it. I will however, make this my go to place for pizza any day of the week. I highly recommend it. It is very small inside, I don't recommend going with a big group of people. Take out or delivery is probably you're best option.

Cute little pizza spot in St. Cloud. Reminded me of home (NY). Didn't have pizza but the Tour of Italy plate was delicious.

Having had some issues finding a good pie in St. Cloud that my husband enjoys we came across A Touch of Basil. Good NY Style thin crust, the right about of toppings. Sliced well, and flavorful. The cheese is of good quality and the crust has a nice crunch without being overdone. The guys always get the garlic bread, it's so good they devour it in minutes. I always have to fight to get one piece.

It was pouring rain on the turnpike and there were all kinds of terrible accidents, so we decided to get off and take U.S. 441 instead. 441 took us through St. Cloud, and we decided to stop and get some dinner. With the help of Yelp, we decided to go to "Bonnie Lee's Fried Chicken." When we arrived, we found that they had closed not twenty minutes before. We were sad, but it turned out alright because that's when we found the unassuming "A Touch of Basil," tucked away in the strip mall right behind Bonnie Lee's. It's not the most beautiful restaurant: there are those awful red and white checkered tablecloths that, I believe, are mailed monthly to every Italian restaurant in America; the kitchen takes up almost the entire floorspace of the unit; and I picked up a tan while walking past the blazing neon signage of the grungy Chinese place next door. I wasn't expecting much. We ordered a whole Sicilian pizza and an order of garlic bread. Quickly, though, we found out why the kitchen was right there in the middle of everything: the guys make everything fresh, right in front of you and right after you order it. When I ordered the garlic bread, I was expecting something resembling those frozen Texas Toast things to come out in a red, plastic basket. I was wrong. The garlic bread (which cost about $1.25) turned out to be a whole load of French bread cut in half, doused in hot garlic butter, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. It came with marinara sauce and it was fantastic. I watched the guy pull our giant pizza out of the oven: it was a hot, bread-y rectangle of browned cheesy goodness. The crust was a little too brown, so I was very afraid that we had ordered the kind of Sicilian pizza that is so crunchy that it cuts one's mouth all up -- worst feeling in the world, if you wondered. Again, I was wrong. It was cooked perfectly: simultaneously soft, chewy, and crunchy. The pizza cost $11.00. With the sodas, I payed about $17.50. A pizza half the size of the one I got here would have cost me more than that at Pizza Hut. I was disappointed when I saw that this place had no review on Yelp. Well, now it does. These guys make good, fresh food for cheap. That doesn't happen often nowadays. People of Saint Cloud, help them stay in business.
