"I'm noting that the second Northern California franchise location of NY-founded pizza chain Artichoke Basille’s is opening next Saturday, August 24 in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood, occupying the former Lanesplitter Pizza space. The new shop, run by franchise operator Jim Trevor (who also runs the chain’s popular Berkeley outpost and helped open early New York offshoots), will offer the chain’s expected lineup of pizzas, like artichoke and vodka sauce slices, and will serve beer, wine, and cocktails under a full liquor license; opening hours to start will be 5 p.m. to 12 a.m." - Caleb Pershan
