Artichoke Basille's Pizza 104 Easton Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

"We really enjoyed the Margherita pizza and the cheese pizza. The garlic knots are pretty good. BTW the single slices are huge so the price is justified (we had sticker shock initially until we saw the slices). I wasn't a fan of the artichoke slice it was too saucy for me and the same for the vodka slice. Maybe I will give the artichoke another chance when I am super hungry, but I still wouldn't order a whole pie, just my preference. Give them a try doesn't disappoint!"

"I’ve visited the NYC location many times and was excited to hear a parlor was being opened in New Brunswick. I ordered one artichoke pie for pick up and was not pleased to be charged a convenience fee just for ordering, and then be hit up for a tip of top of it. The pizza itself was quite messy, overly creamy and the crust was cooked too much so we had trouble cutting it with a knife. Unfortunately not a great experience."

"I tried this pizza in Manhattan and have been craving it ever since. The New Brunswick location was just as good, same quality and flavor as the first time. Aside from the famous artichoke slice, the Sicilian Grandma and Crab are also never a miss"

"As there's quite a following for Artichoke Basille's, and they haven't quite made their official debut, i wanted to try it before the college kiddies get back and the line trails out the store and you have to wait 2 hours for a taste. This is a review in their soft opening time. There were only 2 guys working the oven / counter, but they were still steady. Get there while you can ! It goes up against an entire street / town of pizza on Easton Ave and they stand out based upon the quality of the pizza. This is a small location that has been rehabbed and gutted to reflect the Artichoke Basille Pizza brand / style. Is there tons of seating? No, this is New Brunswick, standing counter space (with perhaps a couple stools if u'r lucky enough to get'em). Make note of the classic leg lamp, or you might "...poke your eye out...", if you're not careful with their L A R G E R slices. With the place being so tiny, I wonder where they keep their extra dough, cuz as we all know; the older the dough (longer the ferment) the better the pizza, makes me worry if they could possibly sell out if they've not prepped / stored. They offer full sized pies at an 18" or 16" size. My opinion, go big or don't go at all, get a pie, and get it fresh, it'll be worth the price for the quality. Their single slices are a bit larger than the 18" and they tout that as a selling point for them. The single slices (fits on 2 plates) are reheated, not bad, but for the full experience get a full pie made fresh and eat it crisp and hot. They also have a 2 slice with beverage deal that's their supersized slices if u can't get a couple folks together to manage the pie. Cheese slice: A goto slice for a classic! it's light, crisp, and has a great feel and crunch. Their dough formulation is airy and while you might not get a hard char, i'm sure it could be asked for. the sauce is tasty goodness, bright fresh and pairs well on the cheese which doesn't leave you dripping with grease on their slices. Artichoke slice: If you could make spinach and artichoke dip on a pizza this would be it. It's their signature slice and it's phenomenal. If you like creamy goodness for a white pie this is gonna be a solid goto. The perimeter crust on this slice is like a bread stick which when eaten alone, you can taste a slight fermentation in their dough (a good thing as an ideal would be a 72 hr ferment) Grandma slice: this pizza had your touch of basil, a fresh bright sauce and a typical grandma yum that you'd look for in a slice of grandma, slightly better than your typical. Will I swear off the other pizzerias in the area? hhmm depends on how my pockets feeling at the time. However for a quality slice where i don't have to travel to Coniglio's in Morristown, Delorenzo's in Robbinsville, Prima in Somerville, or DeLucia's in Raritan, this will be a new local collegiate goto setting the standard for pizza."

"So glad to have this pizza place in town! my FAVORITE pizza place. No need to go to manhattan or Jersey City for a slice of pizza anymore:) I know artichoke is their most popular flavor, but you got to try the crab pie, it is even better."
