Vasili "Bill" Pitsavas arrived at Ellis Island from Greece in 1956. After learning the pizza-making trade and perfecting his own original recipe, Pitsavas launched his business. He opened Basil's Pizza in its current location in Northfield, MN in December of 1960. Originally titled "Bill's Pizza," the name was changed in 1984 and continues to be owned and operated by the Pitsavas family. Carrying on the tradition of quality food and friendly service, we at Basil's Pizza are proud to serve the Northfield community, including St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges.
Thank you for over 60 years of business!
