Located on George Street, Basil & Grape is a wine bar and pizzeria that feels like a hidden slice of Italy. The interior is charming and vine-covered, providing a cozy escape from the bustle of the town center. Their pizza dough is slow-proved and topped with high-quality Italian imports, resulting in a crust that is light, airy, and perfectly charred.
Their wine list is extensive, curated with a focus on regional Italian labels that you won’t find in your local supermarket. It’s the premier spot in Croydon for a long, “grazing” style evening centered around a massive charcuterie board and a bottle of Chianti.
