Reviews for Artichoke Basille's Pizza in Berkeley, CA
Ive been to the Artichoke in NYC, and this one is close; but not as magical. I feel that the pizzas here sit a bit longer which... let's the crust dry out a bit. There's also a noticable lack of pepperoni slices. There is no inside dining, and the sittingarea outside is in a rather busy corner that has activities that seem a bit sketchy at night. Read more
The crust of the pizza was okay, it wasn?t crispy but much rather thick and tasted a bit stale or burnt. The sauce was good I... suppose, though the cheese and meat was just between mediocre and good. I?m no professional on New York style pizza, though Ijust thought it was okay and more for just convenient sort of food. Read more
Got me some of that artichoke pizza! Tastes exactly like the ones in nyc
Pizza here is how people dream of pizza ....humongous slices oozing with cheese and super hot. One slice is a meal ! A staple... Cal spot for students and visitors alike. Even though the artichoke pizza is almost like soup on a slice ..its stillyummalicious ????. The Margherita pizza is always a delight. The pepperoni might be my least favorite here. But we alwaysenjoyed AB on our visits to our son at Cal. Read more
Open till late, great location near campus, near other great restaurants. Friendly staff, friendly location. You see the pizza... up front before you order so you know what you're getting, they heat it up or prepare a fresh one once they're out or you ask.Condiments on the side, they used to serve free water, the counters inside are not for eating, because of the pandemic. Butthere are tables fixed around a tree at elbow level and there's an outlet there too, plenty of room for 3 groups or a bunchastrangers. Great pizza, fresh ingredients, good price, short wait; bout 2-3 min. Read more
Wow, all the flavors and crispiness and deliciousness of the dough come together in perfect harmony. I bought two slices, one... Artichoke and the other Margherita. Quite substantial slices and one is enough, but I ate them both!!! That's how good it was.It tastes just like the slices I've had from this restaurant in NYC. It's become my pizza place of choice!

Historic Berkeley pizza establishment highly popular with students and tourists alike. Serves great tasting pizza for a good... price. It?s worth visiting if only for the memory and Berkeley student experience. Highly recommended, details to follow: [TheFood] The pizza here is top notch. They offer whole pizzas and also pizza by the slice. We paid 5 dollars for a slice a pizza,which isn?t bad in California. The taste is great and the slices are large. They seem to put just the right amount of sauce andcheese. The crust is crispy, but not too much. [The Service] The employees are great. Super fast, professional, no frills. Ihad no complaints. You can pay cash or debit card. [The Location] The location here is wonderful. Right next to campus andother little spots in Berkeley. There?s some places to sit nearby. Parking is hard, but that?s Berkeley. No seating inside thestore. Read more
Always the best place for some traditional artichoke pizza! They have pizza by the slice and are open until 2am on weekends..... they have a quick service but might have wait times during holidays. There's no dine in.. most students grab and go Read more
