Artichoke Basille's opens 3rd New Jersey store
January 25, 2021
New York-style pizzeria, Artichoke Basille's said it's opening a Jersey City store this spring on Bay Street. It will be the the chain's third New Jersey restaurant for Artichoke Basille's Pizza, and the second of five franchised stores set to open across New Jersey as part of a 2018 deal with Premal and Leela Shanghvi, a news release said.
The 800-square-foot store will offer both dine-in and takeout. The restaurant's interior will feature preserved brick walls from the 1880's as well as NYC-inspired design elements like an antique tin ceiling and mosaic floor tiles, which pay homage to Artichoke's original outpost. The menu features slices and whole pies in eight varieties, including the signature Artichoke Pie that's made with artichoke hearts, spinach, cream sauce, mozzarella and pecorino Romano cheese
"We love the diversity Jersey City has to offer," Premal Shanghvi said in the release. "The new location is just off the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza and a few short steps away from the Grove Street PATH train station that shuttles over 7 million commuters a year to and from Manhattan, so we jumped at the opportunity to bring an Artichoke Basille's Pizza outpost to this highly trafficked area."
Artichoke Basille's Pizza currently operates 15 locations nationwide in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Arizona and California. It is based in New York City.
