If you’re a New Yorker or visiting New York City for the first time, Artichoke Basille’s Pizza is a must-visit. This place is not just about pizza, it’s a New York food experience.
Food (5/5)
The food absolutely deserves five stars.
The Artichoke slice is legendary for a reason. It is rich, creamy, bold, and unlike anything you’ll find at a typical pizza spot. The portion size alone sets it apart. One slice is massive and easily more filling than two standard NYC slices.
The Margherita slice is another favorite of mine. Simple, fresh, and consistently delicious.
The Crab slice is also excellent and worth trying if you want something different and well-executed.
I don’t eat pork, so I haven’t personally tried the pepperoni or vodka pepperoni slices, but they are extremely popular and clearly loved by many regulars.
I’ve been coming here since around 2008, and there has never been a single visit where the food disappointed. I’ve recommended this place to friends and family over the years, and no one has ever regretted coming here.
Yes, the slices are more expensive than a typical $1–$2 NYC slice, but the portion size and quality fully justify the price.
Service (4/5)
Service is solid and exactly what you’d expect from a high-volume pizza spot.
You order at the counter, make specific requests like reheating or cutting, and the staff handles it efficiently. There are no table servers, so expectations should be aligned with that model. Within that context, service is reliable and professional.
️ Atmosphere (3/5)
Atmosphere is simple and functional.
There’s no traditional seating, just wall-mounted wooden counters where you can stand and enjoy your slice. This isn’t a sit-down restaurant, and it’s not trying to be. The focus is clearly on the pizza, not the ambiance.
Final Thoughts
Artichoke Basille’s Pizza has grown a lot over the years, with multiple locations now across Manhattan and beyond, and for good reason. This spot has earned its reputation.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or introducing someone to a true NYC pizza experience, this place delivers every single time. It’s iconic, consistent, and absolutely worth the visit.
Highly recommended.

Great tasting pizza. Wish the spot had stools or seating area. I ordered a vodka pepperoni sicilian . Should’ve just gotten the regular cheese pepperoni Sicilian instead. Vodka was too much. Great location. And famous for their artichoke slice. BTW its really big! Give it a try sometime.

Go with a friend or 2 or 6. Seriously, this place is not be ventured into alone. The slices are huge, they’re packed with flavor and you’ll want to try more than 1 variety but your appetite can probably only handle 1 full slice.
The trademark Artichoke slice was bursting with flavor but super heavy even when sharing with others. Need to come back here on an empty stomach to attempt to try the rest. Their Margherita slice looks amazing as well.
Edit: went in again for the margherita slice and it was good but not their best. Tasted a bit burnt throughout. Stick to the freshly made unique artichoke slices here

The wait time is too long, probably as it gets too many orders. The vodka pizza was great, but what’s amazing is the spinach artichoke. It was creamy, hot, buttery and slides right into the mouth. And the slices are too huge that the family of 6 had it for next day’s breakfast.

Delicious, filling, and super affordable pizza spot! I visited around 9pm on a Tuesday and ordered a slice of their artichoke pizza. The cost was only a little bit more expensive than a matcha latte I’d gotten that morning. It was served on 2 paper plates, which should give some idea of its size. Super creamy delicious white sauce! Lots of locals were also coming through to get full pies for takeout. Some standing room inside and a little seating outside.

Let’s just be real: Artichoke Basille’s is the worst slice I’ve had in NYC.
The only reason I even tried this place was my manager’s enthusiastic recommendation, which he gave when he was clearly hammered. My sober reality? It’s the worst pizza I’ve had in NYC, and I let him know it.
The unforgivable sin here is the salt. Everything on the slice, every layer, is aggressively, overwhelmingly salty. It’s not seasoned well; it’s a sodium overload that kills every other potential flavor.
Credit where it’s due: the crust is good, and the slices are absolutely huge. The service was okay, the place was empty, and I appreciated the little outdoor standing tables for grabbing a quick bite.
But ultimately, nothing saves it from the salt. It’s a hard pass. I’m sticking to Prince St Pizza from now on.

The staff we welcoming and friendly. Open space but there is nowhere to sit,so you have to stand at eat. The pizza was ok, great in the cheese but the flavor wasn’t too wowing. Im no pizza critic so you’ll definitely have to try it for yourself. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and a pretty good slice of pizza.

I recently tried the Artichoke Slice at Artichoke Basille’s Pizza, and I have to say-it was easily one of the best slices I’ve had in New York City! This isn’t your typical slice; it’s massive, rich, and incredibly indulgent. The crust is thick and crisp, providing the perfect base for the generous layers of creamy white sauce and gooey melted cheese. What really stood out were the chunks of artichoke hearts-abundant, flavorful, and perfectly balanced against the richness of the sauce.
Be warned: this slice is very heavy, so if you have a smaller appetite, it’s definitely something you could share with a friend. But if you’re feeling hungry or just want to treat yourself, it’s absolutely worth digging into solo. It’s not your average New York slice-it’s more like a full meal.
The service was quick and efficient, which is always appreciated in a busy city spot. There were a few standing tables both inside and outside, which made it easy to grab a quick bite without a long wait.
If you’re in NYC and craving something different from the usual cheese or pepperoni, the Artichoke Slice is a must-try. Creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor-this slice lives up to the hype!

Artichoke pizza was delicious! Crab flavour was okay, was hoping for more sauce. Pepperoni and vodka were great as well! We’ll be back.

Artichoke Pizza is HANDS DOWN the best pizza in the world and my all time favorite! Every time I visit New York from Miami, I make sure to stop here and have their signature: artichoke pizza (and I even take slices back with me in my luggage because it is that good lol!) The flavor is rich, creamy, and unforgettable, and no other pizza compares. They have several locations which makes it easy to enjoy whenever I am in the city. For me it is a must visit spot in New York and truly the best pizza I have ever had. MUST TRY
