About Basil Doc's Pizza:

Basil Doc's Pizza came to Colorado by way of Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, Connecticut (on the outskirts of the Yale campus). The original Basil Doc's Pizza was opened in the Washington Park neighborhood (2107 East Virginia Avenue: 303-778-7747) in 1996 by Hilary and David Allen who had apprenticed at Pepe's.

In 1999, Mike Miller purchased Basil Doc's from Hilary and David and immediately educated himself on the entire Basil Doc's Pizza operation. Mike is a veteran of the restaurant industry beginning his restaurant career in 1978 after graduating from the University of Denver. After 13 years of restaurant management operations Miller once again graduated from DU (1991) with his MBA.

In July of 2000 a second Basil Doc's was opened in the Crestmoor area of Denver (330 Holly Street: 303-322-5832) which has brought the "THE BEST PIZZAS IN TOWN" (2001 Zagat.com survey) to that neighborhood. In 2004 three neighborhood locations were opened (Virginia Village 1481 S. Holly 303.782.9900, and Highlands 3940 West 32nd Avenue 303.477.5400.)

A local micro business, Basil Docs chose to participate in the Denver Energy Challenge and Xcel Windsource - colorado's source for locally produced wind power and made some energy improvements to streamline their operations!
