VITO Klybeck

This was my second time dining it at Vito in Klybeck, and just like the first time it was a really nice experience. The first time was with my brother: we were surprised by how tasty the pizza was, and this is coming from two Italians that have tried lots of pizza both in Italy and abroad. The dough is fantastic and flavorful, and the pizza is generously garnished. We had the option to wait in line to take away, or otherwise dine in if we wanted the bigger pizza, so we chose the latter. We did the same now with my friend yesterday. The choices of pizza are: a piece, a third, or entire pizza. The entire pizza obviously nets you more pizza, it occupies the entire people in length, and can further be divided to the following options for garnishing: single whole pizza, half vegan and half vegetarian (as example choice of what we did), or 1/3 of different garnish, giving three pieces with three different flavors.

While we mostly stick to a single choice and just eat it whole, this allows for nice personalization and experiencing different pizza flavors, especially nice to divide with friends. Furthermore you get rucola, oil, salt, pepper and spicy oil to add to ensure you get the flavor you want, and can experiment with even more taste variation.

While the vegan choice I wanted wasn’t available, the staff immediately offered to add a bit of variation onto the pizza choice left, which I really appreciated and turned into a great experience to try. This of course if the option to do so are available, depending on what ingredients and availability they are left with.

The place is also with a good atmosphere, this time we ate in the front of the local, but the back is also very cozy and has a big table for friends along a few single ones that will be appreciated by couples.

Overall really great experience, kind and friendly staff aware of dietary restrictions and making also vegans and vegetarians feel included in a world where this becomes the norm, and enjoyable atmosphere for a good price (about 25 CHF per person depending on choice).

While I haven’t been to the other VITO places in Basel, I can absolutely recommend going in any of them even just to do take away and simply enjoy the pizza outside, you won’t regret it.
