At Bastella, a wood-fired pizzeria in Lucciana near Casamozza
A Bastella is an artisanal pizzeria located in Lucciana, near Casamozza. Since 2010, Franck Meschini has been preparing wood-fired pizzas made with homemade dough using Alalia Corsican wheat flour, as well as migliaccioli, grilled dishes, homemade desserts, and seasonal pizzas for takeout.
Why are A Bastella's pizzas so popular?
At A Bastella, each pizza is the result of a lengthy preparation process. The dough is kneaded and made on-site using Alalia Corsican flour, and it is allowed to rise for several hours before it's ready to be shaped.
The sauces and toppings are also prepared in advance, starting in the early afternoon. Deliberately generous and made with carefully selected ingredients, the vegetables come partly from our seasonal garden; Corsican products feature prominently on the menu; and the fish is selected based on daily catches to ensure maximum freshness.
Baking is done exclusively in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a crispy crust, a slight smoky note, and a distinctive flavor that is highly appreciated.
Order your pizza by text message or phone
By text message between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. By phone after 6:00 p.m.
It's simple and convenient—text Franck between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM to place your order, specifying the time you'd like to pick up your pizzas. After 6:00 PM, orders are taken by phone only. We recommend allowing about an hour or more for pickup during busy times.
Wood-fired pizza - Corsican wheat flour
Open every evening except Sunday, A Bastella is located along the RN 193 in a prefab building that looks like a pizza truck, 1 km before the Casamozza roundabout. Since 2010, Franck Meschini has been using Alalia Corsican wheat flour to make pizza, as well as serving fritters and drinks, every evening from Monday through Saturday.
Pizza remains the main attraction, generously topped with ingredients whose quality and freshness are evident from the very first bite. A Bastella selects seasonal and local produce, sometimes sourced directly from Franck's garden (zucchini, basil, bay leaves, tomatoes, eggplant). The menu and the pizza of the day vary depending on seasonal produce and the day's fish catch.
The sourdough bread—just like the pizza dough—is made with Corsican wheat flour from Aleria.
Vegetarian pizza: Four options are available
The menu features several meatless pizzas: the Parmesan, the Margherita, the Mozzarella, and the aptly named “Vegetarian” pizza with seasonal vegetables.
Pizze nustrale - Corsican pizzas
The “pizze nustrale” will give you a taste of Corsica's local flavors. Made with carefully selected island specialties and high-quality Corsican cured meats— coppa, prisuttu, and Corsican farm-fresh cheese—these pizzas feature traditional or reimagined toppings on wood-fired crust.
Depending on the season and Franck's inspiration, the menu also showcases local products with original recipes featuring, in particular, Corsican veal, pignata, melon, fresh basil from the garden, and other seasonal ingredients. It's a way to discover Corsican cuisine from a different perspective, through high-quality pizzas.
Grilled dishes to go, Friday and Saturday evenings starting in October
Treat yourself to wood-fired grilled short ribs, sausages, or chicken drumsticks wrapped in pizza dough, all served with potatoes. Available every Friday and Saturday evening, by reservation.
Homemade desserts
To end on a sweet note, A Bastella also offers desserts that stay true to the wood-fired theme, such as dessert strudel, a pastry native to Central Europe.
Corsican Migliaccioli
An iconic specialty of the island, migliaccioli are made with flour, eggs, and fresh cheese.
At A Bastella, the migliaccioli are baked in a wood-fired oven, which gives them a beautiful, lightly golden crust while keeping the center soft and melt-in-your-mouth. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a green salad for a simple, traditional Corsican meal.
Fresh, seasonal ingredients
The ingredients used for the pizzas are selected daily based on their local origin and quality. Frank isn't afraid to switch things up depending on a Corsican cheese, cured meats, or any other product a producer offers him, giving each pizza and bastella new flavors.
A “Pizza of the Day” is featured daily. On Friday evenings, fresh fish from the local catch is incorporated into the pizza.
Preparation from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Franck does everything himself when it comes to the pizza: pizza dough, tomato sauce, spiced sauces, and preparing the toppings. He starts work every day at 2:00 p.m. to ensure everything is ready for the wood-fired oven in the evening.
It's a nonstop process that makes pizza delivery difficult, but customers enjoy taking their orders to go—with the option to sit on the small patio, complete with chairs and tables, if you don't live nearby or just want to spend some time in a friendly atmosphere.
