About Base Bar

Norwood regulars head to Base Bar for blistered wood-oven pizzas and cold drinks in an easygoing, walk-in hangout. It is built for dropping by without a plan—grab a stool, order at the counter, and collect your own plates while the hearth does the heavy lifting. Groups fill tables over cocktails and wine by the glass, splitting crisp pepperoni slices and potato pies without any fuss. On Tuesday nights, the kitchen turns out sixteen-dollar pies straight from the roaring wood fire.

  • Wood-Fired Hearth: Pizzas bake fast in a dedicated wood oven, from classic pepperoni to potato toppings.
  • Walk-In Casual: No bookings taken—walk in, snag a seat, and order drinks and food directly from the bar.
  • Tuesday Pizza Deals: Budget-friendly weeknights center around sixteen-dollar pizzas right off the oven paddle.
