Master Critic Review
Artichoke Basille's Pizza (Bushwick)
7.6
A late-running slice counter built around heavy, sauce-and-cheese-forward signature slices that read like comfort food more than classic NY thin-slice minimalism. It’s best as a one-slice mission—pick the signature you came for, add a simpler backup slice, and move on.
