It was a sad day when the Bushwick favorite of 10 years, Northeast Kingdom, closed this past spring. It left a void on Wyckoff Ave begging the question of what will inevitably fill it and if it will compare to the much beloved farm-to-table fare that once occupied it.
This week, we have that answer. Famous NYC chain Artichoke Basille’s Pizza is set to open at 18 Wyckoff Ave early this Fall. Owners and cousins Francis Garcia and Sal Basille opened their first Artichoke location back in 2008 on East 14th St. Since its induction into the vast pizza culture of New York City, the chain has received positive recognition in major publications from Business Insider to the New York Times. It even won Time Out New York’s Eat Out Award for “best new pizza” and has since gone to open six further locations in the Manhattan and Brooklyn area. Bushwick will mark its eighth.
