Artichoke Basille’s Pizza & Bar
“Right off the High Line near Chelsea Market, Artichoke Basille's is hard to miss if you are walking on the garden bridge.”
“The artichoke pizza is a classic and sooooo good (especially after a night out) and the Staten Island is the meat lovers dream.”
“Oh wait, I think my friends and I convinced another table to give us their leftover Margherita once.”

Wow this place is lit after a night out. It's like an after party but with lots of delicious slices of pizza. First time here and I must say that the pizza was definitely delicious. We ordered the Margherita and Artichoke (what they're known for). The artichoke pizza was a little too heavy for me. Don't get me wrong – it was good!!! But I definitely enjoyed the Margherita pizza a lot more. The slices are HUGE. I could barely eat one. So I recommend coming here when you're super hungry and ready to commit to eating at least 2 huge slices of their pizza.
We arrived around 2am and the place was packed. We did have to wait about 7 minutes for a table. The to-go line was ridiculously long. Our service was outstanding and we didn't have to wait too long for our 3 pizzas. Everything was freshly made to order.
A little pricey for pizza ($5 a slice) but it's worth it. The quality of the pizza and the location is great. If you're looking for a good pizza place in the city, this is it!
So after so many people have been reposting this restaurants video on Facebook I knew I had to come and try it on my visit to NYC. They have several different locations. We first went to the one in Greenwich village but preferred to sit down so we ventured over to Chelsea. I guess after a certain time they gave bouncers and they check your ID. They are open until 5am and have a bar too so that is probably why. They also have a side for to go pizza but you can't bring it to sit down with you.
The famous artichoke pizza: think spinach and artichoke dip but pizza style. That's exactly what it tasted like. Pretty good and the crust was thick like a bread stick. I was satisfied with it and it met my expectations.
I also ordered the small personal salad. It was bigger than I expected with several cheeses and veggies. I liked it because it didn't have too much dressing but wasn't dry. I also appreciated the different cheeses.
My friends and I were laughing at their choice of utensils using "Happy Birthday" napkins but it was fine.
I would come back here again.
We came here after a few drinks at Brass Monkey and the line wasn't too bad. We came right when the bouncers started taking over the line. Yup, you heard me right. BOUNCERS. It must get crazy in here but I can see why. The artichoke pizza is TO. DIE. FOR. Hell, I'll get into a fight for it if I have to. I don't know why I ordered a slice of crab pizza. I mean, don't get me wrong. That was good too but THE ARTICHOKE PIZZA is what it's all about!!!!! There were absolutely no seats so we took our drunk selves down a block and ate under an awning.. in the pouring rain. YUP. It was that good and it was aaaaaaaall worth it. GET THE ARTICHOKE PIZZA. A NYC MUST.
Came here for a quick slice of the infamous Artichoke Pizza. Which, I must say is delicious! It's only missing two stars because of how dirty the establishment is. We didn't sit in the table service area, instead we ordered a slice in the back and sat at the counter.. and unfortunately our seats were right next to the garbage can.
The garbage can had trash overfilled to the top. God knows how long that garbage has been sitting in there for with no one cleaning it up! It was pretty gross sight when trying to enjoy the food. That alone, would probably not make me want to come back to this specific location.
Overall, the pizza was good… but is it worth the price? I think my spinach artichoke dip might be better (and cheaper) than the pizza! But it was a good experience.
If you haven't tried the Artichoke Pizza, give it a go!
Had a slice of the overly-hyped artichoke pizza and was less than impressed. It is a thick crust, overly saucy/creamy pizza with some artichoke on it. The texture reminds of a pot pie except with crust that I don't want to eat. It's a pretty large slice and $5 isn't bad, but I would much prefer getting an NY slice for less (that also tastes better)
This was a spontaneous stop to grab a quick bite on our way to catch the Bolt Bus. Having heard about artichoke pizza on the cupcake tour we just completed, thought it was good to give it a try while in NYC. It was a full-house when we came in, with a small line forming to wait for a table, however they have a "take-out" slices to-go section in the back. Slices are $5 each and I opted for the artichoke slice. A friend of mine asked the cashier for his recommendation and he said since he doesn't like artichokes (the irony?), he preferred the crab slice. They heated the slices up in the oven and off we went. Even after 15 minutes walk until we could sit down and eat them, the pizza was still delicious! The artichoke slice was pretty large and thick. I sprinkled some red crushed pepper on my slice, and I think it gave it a kicker. My friends seemed to really enjoy their crab slice, so I look forward to trying that the next time around.
Coming from California, I've had Artichoke Basille's in Berkeley, but when I was visiting New York, I knew I had to try the original!
My family and I were walking The High Line and saw the restaurant, so decided to take a quick detour. We were planning on getting dinner later, so the 5 of us split a couple of slices. When you walk in, you can get seated by the hostess, or head toward the back and just grab slices.
We had to get the artichoke pizza. The slices were HUGE – they cut one slice into two for you. They heat the slice before giving it to you, and it's so delicious! The cheese and sauce are all melted together, and it's heated thoroughly. There is an ample amount of artichokes. The pizza is a bit heavy, the crust is thicker than your average crust, but it's very good. If you're looking for a light snack, definitely share a slice, but if you're looking for a meal, I personally think one slice will be enough!
Great place to grab a slice and it's right next to The High Line!
2.5 stars. I thought it was just meh. We sat outside and got 2 pizzas; one was the famous artichoke pizza, and the other was a meatball pie called the Staten Island. While I was expecting the opposite, I really enjoyed the artichoke pie, but the meatball one was a god damn mess. Artichoke pie is seasoned well, creamy, and has a nice crust on the thinner side (but not typical NY thin). The meatball pie had a suuuper thick crust, not crispy, and was just incredibly messy. I'm staunchly anti-knife-and-fork when it comes to pizza, but you really had no choice with this one. Wouldn't order it again.
I don't know if I'd come back… there is much better pizza in NYC to be had.
