Artichoke Basille's Pizza

Pizza is bomb. 5 stars! We got the classic artichoke and pepperoni. The place is small so don’t expect to stay long or eat inside unless you plan to order bar drinks. We did just that with a pizza and beer combo. Decent value. Bring cash. The bartender/owner Ronnie was a bit hard on us at first but then became super friendly once we sat down to eat and drink for a bit. Luckily it was a slow time so we could chat it up and learn about NYC as tourists. I always try to get artichoke pizza anytime I visit NYC. Don’t miss out!

After trying the artichoke and crab slices at a different Artichoke Basille's and loving them, I decided to order from here and try some of the other slices available. I got a meatball slice, pepperoni slice, and a square vodka sauce slice. Unfortunately, all three slices were burned, and the vodka slice was so charred that it wasn't edible. They would have been good and delicious if they weren't so burned.

This place is a New York icon for a reason! They consistently make excellent pizza, and this spot had such great service when I visited

Phenomenal signature pizza. Artichoke flavor is rich and creamy. Absolutely a full meal in one slice. Excellent service at the small pizzeria/bar. Must have cash. Use ATM inside or order online for pickup.

I love the pizza here, especially the Artichoke and the crab meat one—they’re both great. Haven’t tried the rest yet, but honestly by the third slice of the Artichoke I already start to feel a bit heavy. Which makes sense… three big slices is not a normal portion, it’s just too good to stop.(*^^*)

These is a hidden gem! The service is amazing and the slices are amazing. These are the type of slices that hit late at night. The slices are massive and genuinely heavy. They were packed with flavor! I recommend either the Vodka or Arrickoke slice.

I was over charged. We ordered 1 Margherita pie, 1 half pepperoni/half extra cheese pie, 1 vodka slice, and 1 crab slice. They charged us $91.60, without a tip. Maybe overpaying made the pizza taste meh but collectively we were underwhelmed and pissed off. I definitely do not recommend.

I ordered UBER eats... not sure why the rating is just 4 stars. My pizza was the ish and I don't hand out stars. I ordered 3 slices: Vodka, Pepperoni, and Meatball. All were solid. I would visit them for a fresher slice of pie.

This is my first time trying out this pizza (I'm a Brooklyn slice kind of girl). Ordered the Basille 18 inch pizza, the flavor was decent, sauce was pretty sweet, it was fresh mozzarella which I liked. The pizza overall was soggy, which is why I took a star away and it was also saltier than any pie I've ever had. Ordered a single crab slice (needed to try!) really enjoyed it. Seafood lover here and I love creamy sauces, this slice has the best of both worlds, Would eat again. I want to give the artichoke slice a try, I'm an artichoke fan. The pizza came from park slope, I'm in East Flatbush. So I received in about an hour, which isn't an unreasonable time for the distance. As it stands, I'd go for a Brooklyn pie vs their Basille pie, but they have so many specialty options and slowly but surely I'll try them all. Haha

Question: How does this "cash only" pizza shop continue to exist with a rude staff serving overpriced, sub- par pizza?? Answer: Artichokes 1st location was in the E.Village on MacDougal street. Anyone who's familiar with NYC knows how the foot traffic is on that block all night long. They've always been good at slinging pies to drunk people from out of town. & now they're back to their old tricks again at this 5th ave location. Serving sub par pizza to people who are "passing through" the neighborhood. Here in the Slope they're catering to the Barclays clientele, especially the hockey fans. This is why they don't mind being rude. They're not really as dependent on return customers as other pizza spots in less "fortunate" locations. ....mystery solved.

My go to spot for a quick slice of pizza! As well the pricing is fair! I like the menu carries a lot of diversity and the staff are very sweet!

Artichoke slice or pie for me when I get to make it here. Always good every time without fail

3.5 Stars Artichoke Basille's Pizza has been one of my favorite pizzas for the longest time. It can be too much for some people but I'm a huge fan of saucy, flavorful things so the artichoke slice is one of my faves. This spot was right next to where I got omakase and I knew I had to get a slice to end the night. It's a small shop with a few seats and even a full bar. The staff was nice to us and made sure to clean up after every customer. I got the artichoke slice and it was presented warm and gooey. However, I would've preferred it heated up more cause I like a crispier crust. Even though it's a thick slice with heavy sauce, the bottom can definitely be made crispier - trust me, I've gotten it enough times to know. Anyway, it definitely had a heavy sauce on top as I remembered but it was a bit saltier than I would've liked. Not sure if the sauce has just gotten saltier over the years but I still ate the pizza regardless. The crust was also very thick, which it normally is, but if it was made crispier, definitely would've made a difference. Although the pizza was as great as I remembered it to be, I still enjoyed it regardless. The sauce could've been just slightly less salty but it was still thick and runny just how I like it. This location is also cash only!

Usually one of my favorite spots to order from when I'm feeling like pizza but my last order was disappointing & basically uneatable. I ordered at 7, the place is a 12 min drive away. The pizza got to me in 14 mins???? Which makes sense because the pizza wasn't cooked at all. Literally artichoke dip soup. It was all over the box. Completely raw. Huge red flag from a food establishment, could have gotten very sick from eating raw food like that.

$7 for a slice of their famous Artichoke's pizza. I've been to other locations before and I felt that this one didn't have as much artichoke flavor / substance. It's still good but it's a tad salty. CASH ONLY!

I've been to NY a few times now and always had this place on my mind. I love artichokes and artichoke dip so a pizza version would be nothing but glorious. After a work event, I saw they were still open (closes at 4am) and finally this was my chance. Ordered delivery to my hotel and this arrived super quick. Damn that artichoke slice was HUGE and just for kicks I also ordered a square slice of the vodka style. This didn't disappoint! Artichoke slice was crazy creamy artichoke goodness it was super indulgent. I tried not to eat the whole thing in one sitting but it was hard to put down. I tried a bit of the vodka slice and that sauce was just as good. I ended up eating that slice the next day , ate it cold because cold pizza is just as good, and it was still super tasty! I'm definitely ordering again!

Neighborhood staple! I can't believe I haven't reviewed Artichoke's yet! Crab and vodka slices are my favorites. Large slices, perfectly thin crispy *but certainly not burnt* crust.

I may have just had the worst pizza I've had in my life. Artichoke Pizza fell off big time. I had a pepperoni slice and my partner had an artichoke slice. The pepperoni tasted like a slim Jim and he said the artichoke was salty, soggy and cold. Would give Zero stars if I could. For $6 a slice NOT WORTH IT.

Artichoke Basil, I had dreams of experiencing your epic crab pizza with friends. Unfortunately you were closed at 12 AM, when hours posted said open until 4 AM on Yelp, Google, and your website. Please update your hours of business so people don't waste time, gas, and leave hungry and empty handed.

Even years later, Artichoke Basille's Pizza is easily still my favorite pizza of all time. I am in love with the artichoke pizza. You just can't get this anywhere else, nor have I ever even seen this on any other pizza menu. As soon as I landed, I made an online order for pick up which was ready in 15 minutes. Note that it's cash only, but since I ordered online, I was able to pay through credit card. I ordered the infamous Artichoke Slice ($6.95), Crab Slice ($6.95), Pepperoni Slice ($5.95), and Vodka Slice ($6.95). Also, these slices are not your regular pizza slices, they're are HUGE. You're probably going to be full from just two slices, but they were just as tasty the next day after reheating them. I have to say that the crab and pepperoni were mediocre to me, but the vodka and artichoke are winners. The vodka slice is so creamy on top of a thick and crunchy crust. But the spinach is just the cheesiest and creamiest topping you can imagine. It's basically spinach dip on top of pizza and it's the best thing ever.

Unfortunately have to agree with other reviews. I've ordered the classic artichoke from other locations before and it's amazing, this place delivered a sloppy box of soup on soggy bread smooshed to one side. Disgusting and inedible - and for $50?!? Nope

I got 4 slices (2) artichoke slices & (2) pepperoni slices First let's start by saying wow these slices individually weren't a joke when I saw how huge the slices were for just $6-$7 that's a deal if you ask me found my go to place ;) & packed with flavor go now I promise it won't disappoint, friendly staff very informative.

That's an absolute Yes. You in BK go get yourself a slice and you will absolutely eat another. Mark my words

Disappointing. There are many branches of this restaurant. The one at 9th Ave in Manhattan is exceptional. It's hard to park there, & typically, I just drive past, dejected, & filled with longing. Imagine my surprise & elation when I had a meeting on this block & saw their sign! Sadly, the pizza quality was nowhere near that of the Manhattan west side location. I can't even put my finger on it - the flavor & texture were just not there. I am sorry to not be more specific, but some things just defy language. That being said, the place was clean, the staff was very friendly, & they had good music. Also - no bathroom. I'm pretty sure it's illegal for an eat-in restaurant to not have a public restroom.

I've come here several times and admittedly I've always ordered slices. Today we decided to order a small pie. The first did not look up to the standard I know them for so I brought it to their attention. They said they'd make another, and as you can see in the picture it's just the same as the first with added cheese. The slices are great, but they don't know how to make their pies in mini size.

Greetings and salutations yelpers. Ever have those late night cravings for pizza? Well artichoke is here for the rescue. Slices are are larger and pricier than your average but totally worth it. They have multiple locations. Location I visited is in the Barclays area. So happens a concert just ended so by the time we found parking the line was pretty solid but it moves quickly. Note this location is cash only. They also have bears on sale. I love the vodka and the margarita slice. Once you take your first bite the flavors that surrounds your mouth you can help but close your eyes and relish it all. If you haven't tried, Artichoke Pizza def needs to be tried!

A delicious pizza spot that has the famous Artichoke Pizza. This pizza is almost a foot long, and tastes a bit like thin crust pizza mixed with the spongyness from NY pizza. The Margarita slice had some thing crust/ spongy combos too. It's around $6 for a slice but honestly each slice is like a whole meal. Not much seating here but it's located close to barclays so I can see that there must be a lot of drunk customers coming. The sauce on the artichoke slice was delicious though and worth every bite

Get your slice of pizza heated before you leave, 10x more tastier I promise! An extra 10x more tastier if you eat it after a winning nets game! I rarely crave pizza, but this pizza is amazing! Salivating, just thinking about it.

Bottom line: 2 stars pizza was not impressive Arrived in NYC hungry for NY pizza! But how do I choose? So many places for authentic Brooklyn pizza! So I rely on the time honored process of asking the front desk. "Sorry, you aren't driving you could go to Artichokes, it's the best place for pizza." I went up to Yelp and found Artichokes delivered, oh joy! So I ordered a pepperoni pizza for delivery when it arrived, I showed the box to the front desk person and he smiled in approval. I went to my room, mouth ready for this delicacy. I open the box, I see small, curled, pepperoni and I take my first bite. I was so disappointed only bread, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni- no seasoning, no flavor. Just tastes like warm pizza "lunchable." What a rip off.

Ordered an artichoke pizza, ate it for dinner twice, then froze two slices. It was a little gloppy but tasty and the crust was nice and crispy, though thicker thsn I usually like. Almost like a deep dish pizza. A little different than the usual.

My bf and I came back to artichokes because we would not leave Brooklyn without getting their delicious pepperoni pizza. It is not the best but it is honestly pretty close! Outdoor dining only. Service is good and the pepperoni on the slice is just great!! Highly recommend checking this place out. Plus it's located on 5th Ave which is adorable with so much to do/see.

Paid for a slice, but the manager wasn't thrilled about my bathroom visit, citing it as excessive. The pizza falls into the realm of average, and the bartender's demeanor leans heavily towards the miserable side.

I heard a lot of good things about Artichoke Basilles and wanted to check it out! Of course I had to try the artichoke slice! The slices are huge!!! Personally that slice wasn't for me, wayyyy to creamy for me! Felt like I was just eating like a creamy artichoke dip I'm glad I also tried a slice of their vodka pizza! Soooooo goood! If you like saucy pizza this is the place for you! Drowning in sauce , yet not tooooo much cheese. It just works and it's delicious!

Writing review because this crab slice invoked something in me unusual... It is truly, divine. It reminds me of why I came to this city, the pizza here is unlike anywhere else. I've had lots of specialty slices, but none like the crab slice. My Florida is showing but this is my childhood and my adulthood masher together perfectly. Thank you, Artichoke Basille's, Barclays location, for giving my life hope.

Ok, perhaps it'll be an unpopular opinion, but this place didn't sweep me off my feet like it did for others, perhaps it ultimately comes down to how do you like your pizza. The artichoke slice is for sure unique, and I can easily see some folks loving it if you like a heavier topping to crust ratio, it just wasn't for me. The base ends up being more doughy and the topping is just too much creaminess for my liking. The crab slice was unique, but I would say also not great, with the base being too thick for my liking. What I did love was actually the Sicilian! Super rich with plum tomatoes which add a bit of glorious sweetness and complements the fresh basil so well. I'll be a regular mostly for this slice!

Overpriced, burnt pizza, served with horrible customer service . I got charged $30 for 4 slices. The pizza was burnt and the guy taking orders/putting pizza in the oven was miserable to be there. I would never go back here.

I'm not sure if it was because we got this pizza at 3am, but I have never had worse pizza in my life. I feel like it may have been radioactive honestly. Even drunk we couldn't stomach more than a couple bites.

Look! We made our way here twice during our trip to Brooklyn! We managed to smuggle this back to Texas! How can pizza that should be dense be soo light! It's cash only, but the service was quick and easy!

I've been to the downtown Manhattan location and have been a Stan ever since. I was in the area and figured I'd try this location and it's safe to say that they stay true to their craft regardless of the location. 10 out of 10!

Sometimes, the thin New York style, cheese pizza isn't enough. (yeah; I said it.) Sometimes, the body wants the cheesier and thicker bites of Artichoke's signature artichoke pizza or crab pizza. Additionally, each slice is so large that they serve it with two places side to side. With a bunch of toppings to cover all of that real estate, it's a proper big piece of pizza. If you're not feeling a "vegetarian" pizza like the artichoke pizza, please make this the exception. Each slice is super cheesy and creamy with the occasional notes of freshness from the artichoke; the richness from even one slice can be pretty filling. Even though I'm usually not into artichokes, I'm a big fan because it's definitely a pizza first. Along with the artichoke pizza, this crab pizza is another common favorite. The crab pizza was a new experience personally because I've never had so much seafood on a pizza before. I was skeptical at first because cheese and seafood is usually not an appetizing pairing, but it really works in this case. Also, the vodka sauce (rather than a typical red tomato sauce) on a seafood pizza just makes so much sense. It's not nearly as creamy and rich as the artichoke pizza, but there's still plenty of pizza and plenty of flavor. Located near the Barclays Center, Artichoke was a great place for a pre-game meal before the Nets game. I had a great time at the game, but I'm still thinking about that pizza. I can't wait to go again! Easy 5 stars.

This pizza is delicious! Came here after a concert and this was everything my friend and I needed. There's a to-go side of this place and then there's a dine-in side and my friend and I did the dine-in. We got 2 orders of the Sampler, so we each got 3 slices of pizza and they cut it in half for each of us to try a different flavor. We probably would've been okay sharing just one order of the Sampler but we did get leftovers to take home this way. We ordered: pepperoni, vodka sauce, Sicilian slice, crab slice, the famous artichoke, and meatball. Their sauces are delicious and have such great flavor, between the white Alfredo-like sauce on the artichoke pizza, the crab bisque type sauce on the crab pizza, and the vodka sauce slice of pizza, I was in heaven! Even the original tomato sauce on the Sicilian slice was phenomenal. The crust itself was also great, and so were the toppings on every slice. I have no regrets on eating so much delicious pizza and I cannot wait to be back and have some more!

Pepperoni is hand cut and accumulates puddles of delicious oil upon cooking! FABULOUS! Cash Only! Open LATE

Greatest ever!!!! Love this pizza everytime I go to NY. Been to 3 different locations and they are all #1 in my book.

PURCHASED: Vodka 22" Pizza Pie (largest pizza size) COST: $35 PROS: - Filling: It will certainly keep you full. I ate 4 slices and was completely full (NOTE: I EAT A LOT.) - Vegetarian-Friendly: All but 2 pizzas offered are vegetarian! - CONS: - ... Can't really think of any for now. So, I will give it a 5-star rating. - Artichoke Pizza: Actually! I don't prefer this slice. If you're going to purchase 2-3 slices for the visit, I totally would grab just one of these slices. It is quite soupy. But, why go here if you didn't want that experience in the first place. IMPRESSION: -Great pizza. I can't complain. Be prepared to pay $5-7 a slice. To get your fill, you'll be purchasing maybe 3 slices though.

Artichoke is one of my absolute favorite pizza restaurants, but I was disappointed with my most recent delivery experience. We ordered artichoke and vodka slices. They packed the slices too closely in the box and the sauce leaked everywhere. They topped the slices with paper plates. It was super messy and hard to eat. Still a tasty slice, but execution could have been way better.

Pep is sooooo good ! Amazing and delicious. My favorite pizza place in Brooklyn right now

I only gave it a 1 bc that's the minimum! Look at this!!! It's burnt! I deserve better. Whole thing burnt. Don't get these things unless you like dirt I'm pissed

Alright, this place has gotten dumped on enough. Is it exceptional pizza? No. But it's good, and they're open at 4:00am. Five stars.

Great pizza with a number of good choices. My favorites are the artichoke pizza and the crab pizza. The slices are a bit more expensive than dollar slice places but the quality is there and the slices are rather large. Check it out!

Artichoke is a great carry out and quick dine in pizza parlor. This location has very small space where you can sit to eat. However it's basically designed for carryout. I like the pizza here. I typically get a pepperoni slice. The flavor is very robust. You get a lot of flavorful sauce on a thing crust pizza. You definitely can't go wrong with a slice from here. It's large slice also so you get your Bang for your buck. Definitely check them out if you're ever in the area!

They are cash only!! $7 for a GIANT slice of pizza. We tried their infamous artichoke slice and it was pretty average, IMO. The white sauce is super creamy and kind of overwhelming, and I saw maybe 3 pieces of artichoke, so was kind of disappointing on that front.

I have to say... this was the worst pizza I've ever had in my entire life, if I could give it half a star I would do it in a heartbeat. DO NOT GO HERE TO GET PIZZA OR ORDER PIZZA FROM HERE. Absolutely terrible

I always knew the pizza from here was really good. I mean, really really good. But when I ordered from Artichoke last night and the delivery driver refused to deliver to my apartment, I went to the restaurant to pick up my order. The gentleman behind the counter had boxed up another two slices on the house for us, in addition to our order. After the ordeal we went through to get the food, this made our night. We will always come back here.

The day was November 11, 2022 (11,08,2022). I went into artichoke pizza (the one on 5th Ave) to order my favorite pizza of choice, which is the artichoke pizza (obviously lol). With that being said, the moment I entered the establishment I felt a weird sense of animosity from the workers, kind of was getting the vibe that I was not wanted in said establishment. More so, when I ordered my pizza the cashier asked me if I wanted my food to stay or to go. I said that I wanted to stay, as it was raining outside. The cashier proceeded to give me my food, which I took to the bar stand. When I put my food down at the bar one of the workers, a Caucasian looking, short bald man. Says I have to buy a drink in order to sit at the bar. That took me by surprise, as the cashier insinuated that it was alright for me to eat inside. Needless to say, the bartender was not having it, dude basically pushed me out the door with his energy. I asked the bartender if he could let things slide this one time because no one was in the establishment except for me, but he would not budge. He even said that he could get me a box to go, again pushing me out of the door with his energy. Basically, what I'm trying to say is why did the workers initially give me the impression that it was alright to eat in the restaurant, when in reality I did not have a choice? Idk if it was racial hostility, as I am a tall African American male. Enough said, I do not want to point fingers, but this establishment definitely has to work on their hospitality. Either that or the staff has to become better at conversing with each other. I did nothing wrong, so their was no reason for me to get tossed out the way that I did. I was a paying customer, not someone that was trying to get over on anyone. Best, Junior Saravia

Let me just preface this review by saying, i am so fat today! And gleefully so. After going to another spot of deliciousness earlier in the morning, i and my tummy decided that yet MORE FOOD in the form of an Artichoke Slice was what we needed. (Maybe i'm half Hobbit? They may be onto something with that 2nd breakfast idea...but i digress) Not one to argue with myself and my cravings, i got my dear husband to accompany me to the Artichoke Basille's location in Park Slope. It's a bit dim in the pizza shop, so we decided to get our order to-go and enjoy the sunshine. Speedily greeted by a friendly pizzaiolo who was in the process of readying some delivery orders, we just decided to get a regular slice and i specified extra hot. ::Spoiler Alert:: The pizza was exactly what i needed. Not too salty with a nice balance of artichoke flavor, and on a hearty crust (cuz you need a diesel azz crust to hold all that artichoky and bechamel gooey goodness), and the perfect temperature. It made our morning! Plus, it was a good value for $6. The slice is huge and the pizzaiolo even offered to cut it in half for us. It was perfect for sharing because of how big it is. (i know, i know, that's what she said...get your mind outta the gutter!) But yes - 1 slice IS formidable and it's great to share with someone who appreciates good pizza! Basically, get thee to Artichoke! Pizza is a food group onto itself, so make sure you're eating enuff of it.

Stopped by after an evening out and wanted a quick bite. The place let's you grab pizza by the slice or get a whole pie. Cash only. Pretty quick service in person and some counter space to eat outside. Bunch of other spots right outside but this seemed to be the spot to grab a quick bite. I'd say for a pizza slice this place was a bit on the pricer side (11 for 2 slices) so was a bit surprised but the portions are pretty big. The crust, like many mentioned it largely flavorless but in my state of deep hunger, it hit the spot. 1. Artichoke pizza - (3/5) - I wasn't entirely sure if I liked this or didn't throughout the whole slice, but came to the conclusion that I did. Never had anything like this before and it was a bit funky - so I'd probably stick with another slice. 2. Pepperoni pizza - 3/5 - classic slice and decent. Pepperonis were fresh, not too oily and not burnt to a crisp. It was standard tbh. If I came back, I'd probably try the vodka pizza because it was the last one that caught my eye. Long story short: good for the hungry, not going to be the best slice you've had.

Family ordered takeout, three pies. All delivered with crushed soggy boxes ( it definitely wasn't from any rain). The pies themselves soaked the boxes with runny tomato sauce. What a $100 plus dollars of disgusting tasteless wet dough. Never again!

Ok so I don't even know where to start ... bussit. I want y'all to realize I'm basing this review on 1 pizza and 1 pizza only! Why? I'm glad you asked - because it's the absolute ONLY pizza I will travel to Park Slope to get! The only!!! Listen here - RUN, don't walk to Artichoke Pizza and get the ARTICHOKE PIZZA!!!! Y'all know a slice is damn good when they name the restaurant after it! And no, I don't know which came first - the name or the slice and guess what I DON'T CARE! This slice y'all - it's literally dinner! First of all, it's the creamiest slice I've ever eaten in my life! 2nd - it's literally the size of 2 slices .. they serve it on 2 plates!!! Now, if you're a prissy eater, this slice is NOT for you! You CANNOT stay cute while eating this masterpiece - you've been warned! But just think of the creamy sauce, spinach, onions, seasonings and of course artichokes ..... oooooooooo Chile!
