Artichoke Basille's Pizza

Nestled in Bushwick’s vibrant culinary landscape, **Artichoke Basille’s Pizza** at 18 Wyckoff Ave has become a beacon for late-night revelers and pizza aficionados alike. Since opening in 2016, this outpost of the iconic NYC pizza chain has carved its niche with decadent slices, a counter-service hustle, and hours stretching until 4 AM daily[1][5].  

### From Farm-to-Table to Late-Night Legend  
The location’s history adds depth to its story: the space once housed Northeast Kingdom, a pioneer of Bushwick’s farm-to-table movement[5]. Artichoke’s arrival marked a shift toward comfort-food indulgence, with its neon sign now a neighborhood fixture. Founded by fourth-generation pizzaiolos, the brand blends family tradition with bold flavors, expanding rapidly since its 2008 East Village debut[2][5].  

### The Art of the Slice  
Patrons brave lines for the **signature artichoke-spinach dip pizza**—a creamy, garlicky masterpiece layered atop a crisp crust. The menu also features classics like margherita and crab pizza, alongside bar-friendly bites like garlic knots[1][4]. While the Bushwick location’s bar is still in the works, plans include draft beer to pair with its hearty slices[5].  

### A Night Owl’s Haven  
Open until 4 AM on weekdays and 5 AM weekends, Artichoke thrives when most kitchens close[1][5]. Its no-frills counter service and picnic-ready slices cater to post-party crowds and shift workers alike. With future plans to extend hours daily, it’s poised to become Bushwick’s ultimate late-night refuge[5].  

### More Than a Chain  
Despite its expansion (including Times Square and Park Slope), the Bushwick location retains a neighborhood edge[3]. The team’s commitment to quality—evident in their house-made dough and locally sourced ingredients—keeps regulars coming back[2][5]. As the bar launch looms, Artichoke continues to write its next chapter, one slice at a time.
