Artichokes have huge slices and are always open late (2am). Add in its prime location in Southside and you have a recipe for THE late-night spot for college party munchies. The shop pre-makes its pizza so it just needs to heat them up in the oven when you order making payment to food pickup turnaround time very quick! They are best known for their Artichoke slice (after all, they are named for it) but they also offer 2-3 other options. Must-try if you're in Berkeley! read more

This spot is awesome. Stays open until 2AM on most weekdays and Friday-Sunday 3AM! Slices are huge and delicious. I'm a long time blondies fan, but this pizza is flavorfully elevated. Service is quick and ambiance is simple. No seats inside, but there are places to sit around outside. read more

I never do reviews but I have to for this one. I ordered delivery, and I'm 35 min away. Even with the distance.... this artichoke pizza was the best pizza I've ever had! I'm a huge pizza snob and this was truly like nothing I've ever had. So creamy and the best flavor and perfect amount of artichokes: I also got the pepperoni pizza which was sooooooo yummy. I will be a frequent customer from now on! read more

What can I say, Artichokes is the whole reason why Im at this school! I recently visited them to take a picture in my graduation gear in honor of Artichokes being the reason why I toured UC Berkeley in the first place. I got their iconic artichoke slice (but Im also a huge fan of the vodka slice). The slices are HUGE. Like enough yo keep you full for the rest of the day or to be shared with someone else. The artichoke slice is very cheesy and soupy and delicious. I just wish they'd warmed it up a bit longer to get the cheese as melted as possible. Service is fast and the people working are helpful. I definitely recommend this place and will miss it dearly. read more

One of my favorite spots in Berkeley!! Artichoke's has a variety of classic pizza slices and my go to's are the Artichokes and the Margherita!The artichoke pizza is super unique. It was very creamy and had lots of chunks of artichokes! The Margherita is always a classic. All of their pizzas' are PACKED with flavor and the slices are HUGE. I really liked that they warmed up the slices after you order so it come out piping hot. Overall, super great NYC pizza joint that's open late!! 10/10 recommend! read more

This place has some hot pizza. Like I took a bite of their pizza and it burned the roof of my mouth lmao. I had their alfredo spinach pizza? The size of the slice alone was impressive. See picture of my fist for scale. The sauce was creamy and savory. The perfect late night bite after going out. The slice was about $6. They offered margherita, sausage and a chicago style pizza too. I wish there was a store in SJ, because this place is too good. They're open until 3am, and the cooks are baking more pizza by the hour so come grab a slice. read more

Good late night food. We got the Artichoke, Margherita, and Pepperoni slice. The slices are bigger than most pizza places. My favorite is the Margherita. It has great soft yet crunchy crust and the tomatoes and cheese blend really well together. The Artichoke is really creamy and a bit on the saltier side. It was not my favorite but I'm glad I tried it. However, when we ordered, the staff member was cold towards us. We asked for a pizza box and got a cold responses "to look around and see that there were no boxes." However, he still gave us a box. Usually, the staff members are professional and chill, so it was more of a one time experience (hopefully). The inside is pretty small and you get to see the pizza and pizza making process. There's only room to order inside then there are tables and seats outside to eat at. In my opinion, the best occasion for Artichokes is when you're a bit tired and hungry whether it's after practice, after a night of partying, or while pulling an all nighter. read more

I asked the pizza guy to cut each one in half, which he kindly did. The pizzas here are really big, doughy, and heavy. The artichoke pizza is very creamy. I prefer the vodka square over the artichoke slice, but I believe they are most known for the artichoke one (which doesn't taste that much like artichokes ironically) read more

Had this chain before but in another state and got their famous artichoke slice so wanted to go for something else at this location. The meatball parmesan sounds a bit ordinary but the photos really do look appetizing because the way the parm is layed on there. This was a good size slice and tastes like good quality pizza! Will probably be back at some point but of course there are plenty of pizza places to choose from! read more

I was in Berkeley last week and decided to get some pizza before driving back. I was choosing between cheeseboard, arizmendi, or basilles, and ended up choosing basille's. Basille is located at the corner of Durant and Bowditch, theres a paid parking lot next door if you can't find parking on Durant. Durant always has tons of uber / doordash cars double parking so its kind of hard to find parking. I got 2 slices of artichoke pizza, one slice of margherita, and one sausage / pepperoni. I forgot to ask for 2 separate boxes so they placed it all in one big box. The slices are about $5 each, each slice is more than enough for 1 meal. The slices are freaking huge. The artichoke pizza here was my favorite, so juicy and moist and so much flavor. It is kind of like artichoke dip and spinach melted on top of a pizza crust. you definitely have to come check them out!! read more

A classic Berkeley establishment. You will not be disappointed by stopping by this place. Parking: Parking sucks here. It is in the heart of downtown Berkeley. Right next to UC Berkeley. There are a few parking lots but you do have to pay for them. Same with street parking in this area (there are meters). Food: Food is great. The quality of their dough is really good. I would recommend trying their artichoke pizza. Their slices are massive. My cousin and I ordered two different slices and asked them to live them in half so we can try two different pizzas. Their pizza is not super thick but super filling since the slices are so big. Service: The workers are very nice. They are accommodating and willing to help you in any way possible. I would highly recommend this place if you are in Berkeley craving pizza. read more

Wasn't too bad but there's several things. Wait until the latter part. The inside is spacious, I'm assuming once side of the entrance is a one way flow but I could be wrong. I passed by when it was empty and I had time to look at several options available at the time. Staff members are nice and very communicative. There's loads of space outside as it's a nice area to hang out and chill. Seems very popular especially at night at the weekend. I wanted to try two "flavours". I was always recommended the artichoke one and that was my first choice and the only vegetarian option seemed to be the Margherita pizza. The artichoke pizza was heavenly; it was creamy, soft, and crunchy. The flavouring was the nice part. I would get this again. Now the Margherita one was good but it had like thick pieces of cheese that were very hard. Was it Parmesan? It had a strong smell. Sauce, basil, and the bread were good. But that hard strings of cheese killed the moment. I would perhaps just get the artichoke next. I'll perhaps rate it higher to fully give my undivided attention for the artichoke one. Do come here for it, if you like savoury, saucy, creamy flavours. read more

The BEST pizza I've ever had hands down, sad i don't live in the bay just for this reason alone. After a concert in the city my boyfriend took me here for a late night slice, we got a slice of the original Margherita, artichoke, and Sicilian vodka crema. Oh my god i don't even have words for this pizza. To start with the margarita pizza is thin crust, but doesn't get crispy or fall apart. Its flavor is perfectly authentic, but it pales in comparison to it counterparts, the artichoke and the vodka Crema Sicilian slices. These were the stand out stars of the night. The artichoke pizza has a creamy cheesy artichoke sauce that is just SO creamy It will melt in your mouth right off of the side of the pizza, and yet it stays structured and holds together in your hand without becoming mushy or collapsing apart on itself. No words. Incredible. Then there's The vodka Crema Sicilian pizza .. it's hard for me to choose the superior slice, but this might be it. I don't even know how to describe the texture. It's the perfect cross between crispy, crunchy and soft. the sauce is thicker, creamy &tomatoey with seasonings that will blow your mind, the cheese is fresh and chunky and so delicious. I mourn not being able to get this pizza whenever I want. I will be back in the bay in 3 months and will be making my way to Berkeley several times just for this thank you! read more

The pizza photos on DoorDash did not represent how enormous the slices were! But obviously this was a delightful surprise. Since then I have been back a couple times to grab a quick slice, the service is quick and the pizza is consistently tasty. Today's artichokes lice is exceptionally delicious, the crust is thick and crunchy and crispy and cheesy, and I am a very happy customer! read more

This location is definitely superior compared to the Oakland location, although the menu is similar the flavors here are much better. This is a pizza place that you only want to go to if you are hungry, sharing, and in the mood for a super filling/heavy/greasy slice of good pizza. We have tried: Pepperoni -- huge, covered in pepperoni, greasy, just as expected Vodka Sicilian -- delicious, thick, sometimes too much sauce Artichoke -- good, rich, heavy, sometimes too much sauce Margarita -- decent, similar sauce to the vodka pizza but on thin crust with basil Although we like this place and will continue to go here when we are having a specific craving, they do however have inconsistent crust thickness and amounts of sauce at times. read more

Came across while in Berkeley. I was kinda hesitant to get pizza here. It didn't look very appetizing but I was getting hangry lol. I decided to get the artichoke slice..... and I'm so glad I did!! It was a huge slice of yumminess. The cream sauce was thick and very creamy. The crust was just ok. Usually that's my favorite part. My boyfriend had the meatball pharm slice which must've been good too because he ate the whole in less than 5 mins. He did say the crust was too crispy, almost like a cracker. I did get a bite of my daughters vodka Sicilian which really did taste like lasagna. I wish they had more pizza options available by the slice. Maybe it was just timing. But I'd probably stop by again if I'm in the area to see what they have available:) read more

Had the biggest craving for Artichoke Basille's. Last time I came was nearly 6 years ago. Made the drive to Berkeley late at night since they close at 2AM. Called ahead to reserve a whole box of their artichoke pizza not knowing how big the pizzas were going to be LOL. I barely remember when I visited in high school. When my siblings and I arrived, we saw the large pizza box on standby while our pizza was cooking in the oven and we were shook at how large the pizza was. We really could not tell through the Yelp photos at all. In addition to the Artichoke pizza, we got two slices of pepperoni pizza and a slice of meatball pizza. We were planning to take the artichoke pizza for later. Pepperoni pizzas were alright. Was a bit on the saltier side. My sister's meatball pizza was quite lacking. There wasn't much meatball on there. She thought it was just alright as well. The artichoke pizza however was a game changer. A full box comes with 8 huge slices totaling to about $54 (I think). It was so big, that the person cutting it, had to put the extra two slices into the smaller pizza box. The pizza looked amazing though. It was incredibly greasy and creamy but it was really good. It tasted like artichoke dip on a pizza. Loved the artichoke pieces but I think it would've been better if the whole hearts of artichoke were more evenly distributed. It is a little bit on the heavier side but its manageable. If the artichokes were less sour, that would've made it even better. It was a bit hard to eat the artichoke hearts completely. Overall, it was a great experience. I've never seen slices of pizza that big so far. The artichoke pizza was delicious and I'd definitely come back. read more

How can you go wrong to this right of passage pizza?! The creamy sauce of the artichoke isn't only just the start of the slice it is the best that I have tried. I have done other artichoke pizzas, but nothing compares to this place. The crust is chewy yet still has a nice golden brown exterior. They have a system where you first order and then you they will pop the slice(s) that you want in the oven to toast it up. Lines move fast so don't be deceived. We were lucky and didn't have a line and food came out in five minutes or less. When it starts to get late though I remember the long lines, but if you have company with you it doesn't matter. read more

The pizza here is delicious and so fairly priced! Each slice is $5 but it's massive- you could eat one and be satisfied. Two may be too much! The pepperoni slice had lots of pepperoni (my favorite) but slightly greasy (which is ok with me since you can just dab it off). The artichoke slice is very dense and rich but also really good. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and are craving pizza. read more

The interior is clean enough and pretty spacious. A good place to hang out with friends and enjoy some pizza.

I am going to be honest here, and I am not a fan. I don't usually like pizza, but my standards are…read morehigh. The pizza is THIN and greasy, the flavor is completely overshadowed by the grease, you can't even taste the flavors of the pizza and toppings because of the sheer layer of GREASE on each slice. It is disappointing to say the least. The sauce they give you for their white pizza has random hints of spice but is, for the most part, flavorless. The pizza took a while to be ready (3 pizzas), and every drink option I attempted to order was out of stock. There are many seating options and the space is well decorated, but that cannot make up for the dish they served.

Make sure to order ahead as it can be crowded and wait times can be long.

But Blondie's still knows how to crank out slices that are very satisfying for a quick bite. I got their classic pepperoni and it still plentifully loaded with beef pepperoni on a slice sizable enough to make you think twice before ordering two of them. I stuck with one. Something about the texture does not say dough prepared daily to my palate. Still, it's quick and delicious. The spicy tomato sauce and four cheese blend offer a nice balance to the doughy crust. Slices start as $6.99 for cheese. Vegetarian and a daily special are also available. Whole pies too -- $14 for a small cheese pie. 12 varieties to choose from and sizes ranging from 10' to the 22" Godzilla pizza. Not to mention wings or breadsticks. Order from a cashier or, when it's busy, a kiosk. For seating, there are only 3 small tables + 3 chairs at the window counter. Lot's of standing room or it's easy food to walk with. If you can't find street parking, the Telegraph-Channing lot is relatively inexpensive at $3/hour. Enter from Channing Way or Durant Ave.

But when we go to this place they ACCUSE ME of stealing the food even after I showed them the order and everything and what not so we had to wait for the next door dasher to literally hand me the food.

The location gives it a lively downtown vibe with lots of energy from the surrounding area and nearby students. The reservation and check-in process was very smooth. The staff were incredibly courteous, welcoming, and helpful throughout the visit. I actually arrived about 30 minutes earlier than my reservation time, and they were kind enough to seat us early, which was a really nice touch. One thing I really like about this place is that they update their dishes a few times a year, so every visit can feel a little different and exciting. The menu has great variety, especially when it comes to pizza styles as you can choose from New York, Sicilian, Detroit, and Grandma-style pizzas, and the pricing is very straightforward for all the sizes they serve. The pizza was perfectly cooked and tasted great. They also allow you to customize your pizza by adding or removing ingredients, which makes it very convenient for everyone to choose based on their liking. And they add toppings with open-heart. The pasta was also excellent. We ordered the Peperoncino pasta, and it tasted amazing. The garlic flavor and breadcrumbs were really the highlight and brought out the authentic character of the spaghetti. Another big plus is that they have plenty of vegetarian options, making it easy for different dietary preferences. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for what they serve. Food arrived quickly, and the service from the servers and staff was great throughout the visit. The restaurant also has plenty of space and handles reservations well. The atmosphere is lively with lots of people around and students from the nearby university, which adds to the downtown Berkeley energy. A little more upbeat music could add even more charm to the place. Overall, this is a place I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Berkeley. It's the kind of restaurant I'd happily come back to again and again.

The first time I came here many months ago, the pizza was better. After having a different Detroit style (Joyride) a few days later I realized that this one was not as good. My biggest issue is that I feel ripped off by this pizzeria. They charged me $3.99 for a takeout fee. I ordered directly on the website and it routed me to Toast. It wasn't even clear that they had a fee for taking out, they kinda slide it right past you. This is the first time I've ever experienced this level of robbery. Just for that, I wouldn't go back for takeout. The pizza is already $33 and what the hell is this fee even for? And they have the audacity to ask for tip on top of this while checking out. It's just insanity. You shouldn't do this to customers. Edit: I was scrolling reviews and saw the manager's response to someone who also complained about this fee, saying they don't control what Toast charges for takeout. Come on, really? You can control what platform you use. That's a poor excuse.

Their marinara sauce is perfectly sweet & not too acidic, perfect amount of cheese, and the taste of the dough in the pizza, plus the char on the crust was incredible- truly no notes for the Margherita pie. The Champione pie was a white pizza with mushrooms and charred leeks, this was sort of a 3.9/5 for me, and this is my personal opinion. Mushrooms and leeks are a good flavor combo, but I think it works better on pasta than as a pizza topping. Plentiful mushrooms in each bite, but I felt like they were competing with each other instead of complimenting each others. This review was for a takeout order (ordered in person, took 30 mins) and I can't wait to dine in person!

Interior, that might need some touch up.

This place probably isn't in my top 5 for the area because its not too good and it takes a long time, but if someone wanted to eat here I wouldn't argue against it.

My recent encounter with your establishment was characterized by a profound lack of professional decorum and a systemic collapse of basic hospitality protocols. Rather than the anticipated standard of service, I was met with an atmosphere of recalcitrant hostility and a startling absence of interpersonal competence that defies standard commercial logic. The initial point of contact was marred by a supercilious attitude from the counter staff, who seemed to view my mere presence as an egregious imposition upon their time. This manifest disdain was not merely an isolated lapse in etiquette but appeared to be a foundational element of their behavioral repertoire, signaling a deep-seated culture of apathy that permeates the very air of your pizzeria. Furthermore, the communicative exchange was defined by a curt, monosyllabic brevity that bordered on the contemptuous. Instead of the clarity and assistance one expects when navigating your menu, I was subjected to a series of obfuscations and dismissive gestures, leaving my inquiries regarding the simplest of toppings entirely unresolved and my patience thoroughly depleted. Most egregious was the staff's flagrant auditory negligence; despite my explicit instructions, the worker remained in a state of impenetrable cognitive dissonance. My requests were met not with comprehension, but with a vacuous indifference that suggested a total abandonment of the most rudimentary listening skills required for basic commerce. The operational inertia displayed was equally staggering, amplified by the unabashed boldness of the worker. This individual's conduct transitioned from mere neglect into a realm of active, confrontational insolence, delivered with a level of audacity that suggested they felt entirely insulated from the consequences of their own belligerence. In summation, the experience was a masterclass in institutionalized insolence. To frequent your establishment is to subject oneself to a gauntlet of calculated disrespect, and I find the current trajectory of your customer relations to be in a state of terminal, self-inflicted ignominy. read more

Artichoke Pizza in Berkeley is a hidden gem for pizza lovers, especially those seeking a no-frills, late-night option. This unassuming joint is open late, making it a go-to spot for night owls and students needing a break from studying. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the slices - they're massive and truly bang for your buck. The standout here is the artichoke flavor. It's a delightful blend of creamy and savory, with the perfect balance of artichoke hearts, spinach, and a rich, cheesy sauce. Each bite is a burst of flavor that's hard to beat. What makes it even better is that they heat each slice for you, ensuring it's served hot and fresh, just the way pizza should be. Despite its no-frills appearance, the quality of the pizza at Artichoke Pizza is top-notch. The crust is just right - not too thick, not too thin - and has that perfect crunch. The staff is friendly and efficient, making sure you get your slice quickly even during the busiest hours. If you're in Berkeley and craving a delicious, affordable slice, Artichoke Pizza is the place to go. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite after a night out or need a study break snack, this pizza joint won't disappoint. read more

We stopped by Artichoke Basille's Pizza in Berkeley on a Saturday m weekend for lunch, and while it was crowded, the pizza was absolutely worth the wait. We tried the Margherita and the Artichoke slice, and both were fantastic--loaded with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The Margherita had a perfect balance of tangy sauce, creamy mozzarella, and a fresh basil finish, while the Artichoke slice had a rich, savory twist with the creamy artichoke heart topping. While the slices were a bit on the pricier side, the quality was undeniable. The crust was crisp with just the right amount of chew, making each bite satisfying. Despite the crowd, the vibe was lively and fun, and the pizza made it all worth it. read more

First time there, to get a feel of the quality of a new Pizza joint, I tried a Margherita. Gotta say, it was excellent. Very crisp crust that held up well despite it's size and thin-ness. Sauce and basil were great. I'll definitely be back for their more fanciful options, namely their signature pie, the artichoke pizza, which looked like a slice could be a meal and a half and the intriguing crab and lobster sauce pie. Service was delivered with perhaps what one would expect of friendly "New York" attitude, a nice change of pace. Awesome pizza addition to the Cal dining scene. read more

Wow, the pizzas here are incredible. I mean they're not going to blow you away with options because there's only like a couple pizzas to choose from but the quality of the toppings and the pizza itself is head and shoulders above any pizza I've had around the Bay. Artichoke & spinach, if you love cheese and spinach/artichoke dip then this pizza will knock your socks off. Such a rich taste, flavorful to the last crumb, and the dough is fantastic. Cheese has a very good flavor to it and the slices are gigantic. Definitely might have to be a fork & knife job. read more
