Artichoke Basille's Frozen Pizza

As you may have read last week, the Artichoke Basille boys, Francis Garcia and Sal Basille, have partnered with A&P on an Artichoke-branded line of frozen pizzas. According to the company's press release, all A&P stores and its subsidiaries (Waldbaum's, Food Emporium, Pathmark) should be carrying the pies now. I was one of the first to highlight Artichoke on this site back in early 2008, so you know I'd be there to grab a frozen pizza or six to test out for you.

The 10 Best Pizzas in NYC

When deciding on this list, certainly history, setting, and pedigree had an impact, but in the end, it was all about the flavor. We didn't care whether the joint was 80 years old, or 8 months old, as long as they served a tasty pie. And here they are. Our favorite pizzas in the city. A mix of the old, a mix of the new, a representation of most of the boroughs, a bit of something delicious for everyone.

Openings: Artichoke Basille's West Side and New Grimaldi-Helmed Operation

The Eater NY has a couple good pieces of intel today. First, that Artichoke Basille's will open a West Side operation in the old Red Rock West Saloon space on Tenth Avenue and 17th Street. It'll be a sit-down restaurant, which is a little scary, seeing as how the original location on 14th Street near First is notorious for service—and that's take-out only. Second, that Patsy Grimaldi is looking to open a new coal-oven place to be called Juliana's. The Eater item doesn't mention where Grimaldi might open, only that he's looking for a space....

Are Artichoke Basille's Sicilian Slices Shrinking?

[Photograph: Kathy YL Chan] Wish I would have caught this earlier, but here you go. From September 15, Kathy YL Chan notices that the Sicilian slices seem to be shrinking at Artichoke Basille's: About a month ago, I started to notice that the slices (I can only vouch for the Sicilian) were smaller with each visit. I guess it's only something you notice if you order the exact same thing at the exact same place multiple times a week. Price remains the same of course. It's scary how quickly change has settled in—hopefully the shrinkage will stop in due...

Motorino's Margherita pizza. Time Out New York held its Eat Out Awards last night, with a couple pizza categories.

Best new pizza: Artichoke. "Said the Artichoke boys, 'We thought we lost. We want to thank our grandmother and grandfather. We thank our customers for making us No. 1. Pizza is in our hearts and in our veins!'"...

More Artichoke Craziness, But the Truth Hammer Rests

The velvet bag where the Truth Hammer is kept. Red, naturally. Sometimes the mere threat of overwhelming power is more effective than the indiscriminate use thereof. This holds for the Truth Hammer, as well. Therefore, I'm only glancing in the general direction of this trusty Slice device as I write. The Truth Hammer will remain in its velvet bag as I point out the words of Village Voice guest blogger Haily Eber (my emphasis): The Artichoke Slice at Artichoke Basille's Pizza & Brewery was recently featured in Time Out's "100 Best..things we ate and drank this year" and hailed...
