What Kate Richardson has said about Artichoke Basilles Pizza in New York.

There are pizza places on every other block in New York, and most of them are really mediocre, but this one is truly amazing because their specialty is artichoke pizza, which is spinach and artichoke dip and cheese on pizza crust and it is unbelievably tasty. I'm not sure how pervasive spinach and artichoke dip is around the world, but in America it's a staple of suburban chain restaurants (Chili's, for instance), so the concept of it on pizza is simultaneously pedestrian and inspired and above all delicious. I really can't emphasize enough how satisfying this pizza is.

The restaurant itself is very tiny and to-go only, so it's not a dine-in option. Artichoke slices are $4, which is on the pricey size but they're extremely large and so incredibly delicious that it's definitely worth the money. If you're going to do New York pizza, this is probably your best bet.
