About Base Face Pizza - Putney
On Upper Richmond Road in Putney, Base Face Pizza serves dough fermented for a minimum of 48 hours, baked in a 450 degree oven for a soft crust with a crispy char. Ingredients are sourced from local producers to cut food miles. Starters include prawns in chilli oil, bread, and flatbread with mozzarella, alongside named pizzas such as the truffle shuffle and parmigiana. A 2-for-1 cocktail offer covers the Picante and Negroni, and Nero d'Avola is poured by the glass. Some evenings bring live blues music. A private room is available for group bookings and celebrations. The space gets loud when full. It opens from 5pm Tuesday to Friday, and from midday on weekends.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently return for the pizza itself, praising a crisp, crunchy base from the slow-fermented dough alongside standout pies like the truffle shuffle and parmigiana. Starters draw notice too, especially the prawns in chilli oil and flatbread with mozzarella, and several mention pairing meals with the Picante cocktail, a Nero d'Avola, or the 2-for-1 Negronis. Close behind the food, the staff and welcoming service come up repeatedly, with diners describing the team as warm and accommodating, including one birthday party praised for its private room, decorated space, and pre-ordered menu. The atmosphere gets called relaxed and lively, sometimes loud when full, occasionally with live blues music. One reviewer, though, found the pizza dripping in oil or grease and suggested table-side oil bottles instead of it being added automatically during cooking. Several say they've made it their new go-to spot in Putney, returning multiple times after their first visit.

“Wow this pizza was incredible. Beautifully crunchy base, very rich & high-quality tomato’s used for the base and fresh toppings. Taken the spot of my favorite local pizza place. Staff are very friendly and service is quick. It gets quite loud inside when it’s full.”

“I celebrated my birthday at Base Face Pizza after discovering their cosy private room, and it was absolutely perfect! Klaudia and her team couldn't have been more accommodating. They let me decorate the space, offered corkage, organised a pre-order, and made everything run so smoothly on the day. All of my friends commented on how kind, welcoming, and attentive the team was, and everyone loved the pizza. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate, thank you for making it such a special day! I will most definitely be back for a slice.”

“This is by far one of the best pizza places in Putney! My friends and I come here regularly, and the food is consistently outstanding—fresh, delicious, and full of flavour every single time. What really sets this place apart is the exceptional customer service. Kai and Tiyana are always incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They greet everyone with a smile, make you feel at home, and always go the extra mile to ensure you have a great experience. It’s rare to find a place that combines amazing food with such consistently excellent service. I can’t recommend it highly enough—if you’re on Upper Richmond Road and looking for fantastic pizza, this is the place to visit!”

“The place seems clean and looks ok but there was a lot of grease or oil on the pizza. I'm not sure if the chef adds oil when the pizza is cooked or the ingredients are fatty. Either way the pizza is just dripping in oil. Prefer if they have oil bottles on the table so customers can add oil if they want it, rather than add loads automatically.”

“Loved Base Face 🍕—the pizza was incredible with a perfectly crisp base and amazing flavor. Big shout-out to Ky, who was super friendly and made the experience even better with her great service. Can’t wait to come back!”
Highlights
“Open Tues - Fri from 5pm and Sat & Sun from 12pm. Seriously tasty artisan pizza from street food team Base Face Pizza. From day one we have been utilising local producers to cut down on food miles, most of your ingredients have been made and sourced right here in London! We use a slow dough fermented over a minimum of 48 hrs to create a soft crust with a crispy char given by our 450 degree oven. Sustainable and thoughtful pizza.”
