    Came because it was a friend's favorite pizza place! Thought it was unique with the flavors. I got the artichoke pizza and it tasted like the artichoke spinach dip/chowder, which is very creamy! There was no line when we went. They don't have seatings inside, only a table. They have a small area for you to hang out and eat outside though.

    Great spot to grab a slice! Artichoke pizza yumm Parking can just be a pain but overall it's a good spot for any time of the day

    This was okay overall. The artichoke pizza was definitely my favorite. It was super creamy and flavorful, but it was really oily, which made it a bit heavy after a few bites. Honestly, all the slices we ordered were pretty oily. Service was quick and we got our slices pretty soon after ordering. There is seating outside with tiered steps and bench seating. The spot itself feels pretty run down and not very clean. It's definitely more casual and is good if you're looking to grab a quick slice or stop by after drinking. The location is also convenient because it's near Telegraph and you can easily shop and walk around before or after stopping here. Other than that, I'd probably choose another pizza spot if I were looking for a more elevated spot.

    Came here around 1am on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. They still had 3 or 4 pizza options despite it being so late. Artichoke Basille's Pizza hits the spot every time! I have come during the day too, and there is always a small line because of how good it is. Food: - Artichoke (Artichoke Hearts, Spinach, Cream Sauce, Mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano Cheese): 5/5 Possibly the best pizza I have ever had. I can't believe I was missing out of this pizza my whole life. Service: around a 5 minute wait for the pizza to be heated up and cashiers have always been friendly Pricing: $ so worth it for the size of the slice!! extremely filling! Ambiance: they added a lot of seating outside which is nice and they have parmesan/red pepper to use Parking: Sometimes there is street parking, but sometimes it is hard to find parking haha Would love to come back and try all of their pizzas!

    I really wanted to like this place, but the quality just isn't there. If you do try it, only grab a slice if you see it coming fresh out of the oven, reheated slices are rough. I ordered a pepperoni slice and it was pretty bad. To make things worse, the guy serving had clearly been cleaning something in the back, came up with dirty hands, and still handled the pizza with bare hands. Not a good look. If you're going to try Artichoke Basille's, stick with their specialty slice, it's the only thing worth getting here. Everything else is a skip.

    Conveniently located across the street from the Graduate, hotel and down the street from Top Dog. We were going to go to Blondies, but this just popped up next to us so we gave it a try. It's set up like Blondies, a counter with all the pizza's on display for you next to the cash register. I was surprised at how conscientious they are about cross contamination that they used a different pizza cutter with each pizza to do the initial slice off the pie. They had a few to choose from. Deep Dish Sicilian, sausage, probably peperoni, and artichoke with a white cream sauce. I almost got the artichoke, but I was afraid the cream sauce wouldn't agree with me so we got the one with basil and cheese on it. To be honest the pizzas don't look very appetizing just sitting there behind the counter. They are cold and have some grated cheese just on top of them. The slices also look small for $7.95. We picked out the basil with cheese slice and he slid it into the over. He asked if we wanted it in a box to go or on a plate. We opted for the plate as we were going to eat it right there at the walk up counter in front of the register. After about 4 minutes our pizza came out of the oven. He sliced it in 2 length wise and handed to us on a double plate as it was so long. Well, it looked bigger and much more appetizing after it came out of the oven. We each took a half, it was hot so we took our time. As it turns out the pizza was delicious. It was a very think crust and the cheese was gooey. I'm happy with our purchase. It was a good snack before we started our service project in downtown Berkeley. I recommend this pizza joint. The pizza is good size and comes out hot and delicious. The service is quick and very friendly. The server defiantly had a smile on his face the whole time.

    A grab-and-go casual pizza stand that has huge slices and outdoor seating. We got the artichoke pizza, which is more of a white sauce cheesy slice that has an artichoke twang to it.

    The slice DWARFS Costco pizza in comparison (which is crazy). It was like approaching deep dish thickness. The artichoke was a tender, unique touch to a pizza but it was too creamy and only was yummy when it was still hot. Then it got kind of gross. It was fine when reheated though. Also the dude lowkey eyeballed me before naming a price for water. The box also costs extra compared to the plate (makes sense) but I wish that had been disclosed to me before...

    Get the artichoke pizza! The lines are typically long but worth the wait. Sometimes the pizza comes out still cold in the middle and I've seen some other customers get it twice baked.

    Artichokes is one of Berkeley's most popular late night food spots! They're open until 2am (Sun-Thurs) and 3am (Fri and Sat) making it a great spot to go to after a night out or if you're just craving pizza later in the night. The line does get pretty long on busy nights after big events like concerts, but it tends to move pretty fast. I've tried their Artichoke, Margherita, and Vodka slices which are all solid choices. Each of their slices are huge and great for the price of ~$8! Personally, I find their pizzas to be a bit on the heavier side with their generous amounts of sauce, but great if you're in the mood for some mouth-watering greasy saucy pizza. They operate on a grab n go service, but there are seats and a few standing tables outside. Overall, definitely a pizza spot worth going to when you're in Berkeley!

    I remember when this place first opened back when I was going to school here. It was notable since it was one of their first west-coast locations, and only a block away from where I lived. All these years later, it still hits the spot. If it's your first time, I would recommend going with their signature artichoke pizza. The slices are huge and priced accordingly ($8), but one slice is pretty much always enough to be a meal. It was great in the college days when you didn't want to commit to a whole pie, and even now it works as a grab-and-go option. It takes about 5 minutes for them to heat it up, but if you have the option, I'd recommend waiting for a fresh pizza to come out of the oven.

    Perfect late night grub! I can ALWAYS depend on this spot after a long night out or concerts. There's not much to say about artichoke basille's besides the fact that no other pizza joint serves big pizza slices quite like them! Park in the nearby parking garage or you can find parking on the street! I arrived late night at around midnight on a weekday and found easy street parking.

    I've had Artichoke Basille's in NY and it was amazing. However when I tried the artichoke slice again here, it was a goopy runny mess with a very hard crust on the bottom. There were also not enough artichoke pieces to my liking. Not bad, but I agree with the other reviews saying it's probably better fresh out the oven.

    Is this Durant location open as of November 2021? Yelp says yes but their website says "Temporarily closed".

    Yes, I went last Wednesday (11/24)

The city of Berkeley has brought good pizza recently to San Francisco like Rose Pizzeria. Going to Berkeley I have experienced great pizza places which are not located in SF. Berkeley has some great pizza places such as the Cheeseboard , Pizzeria da Laura and for the best Chicago style pizza at Zachary's Pizza ( actual fresher ingredients than most of Chicago )which both have no locations in SF. There a different pizza spot in Berkeley which serves fresh pizza with local ingredients and there is no spot in SF and it's called Sliver pizza. On a Summer day stroll in the sun in Berkeley I landed at the Telegraph Avenue. Inside there are plenty of seating and they do not accept cash. I ordered their POD also known as Pizza Of the Day. It had the Mushroom, red onions, green scallions , and it had a lemon zest which was sour like some in SF. It was a little cheesy and the sourdough crust was soft. It was tasty and you can taste the field to table ingredients in the pizza. They also have interesting pizza like the Cherry Corn Pizza like I saw on my social media feed. When in Berkeley you must try Sliver Pizzeria. Go to Berkeley for this is a "must" because they have a sourdough "crust" is a "plus" it's not too cheesy and very delicious and leaves some pizza places in SF in the "dust" This pizza place is to eat inside , pick up, and they do "deliver" I rate it more on gold standard side than "silver" fresh ingredients from the "Salinas River" at a pizza place in Berkeley on Telegraph called "Sliver"

I went last week and they had a summer corn pizza that was loaded with juicy kernels of corn, fresh tomatoes and peppers, plus a ton of parsley for garnish. I am a corn fan so I knew I'd like this flavor. And I wasn't disappointed. Sauce: Sliver could even be more well known for its sauces. You have to try the green sauce! Perfect blend of savoriness, freshness, and a kick of heat! Location: right off the Berkeley BART station, This shop is super easy to transit to whether you're taking bus or the bart. Lots parking nearby too. Bathroom: maybe I just went too early in the day before the employees had time to clean up the bathroom, but it had no toilet paper, no seat covers, no paper towels, and the hand soap was simply in a cup that you had to dip your fingers into... kinda sus? Overall I'll definitely be going back because sliver become so popular because of their incredible pizzas and not their bathrooms!

I only tried NY style and it was so good but the others look decadently good. Prices are similar to other pizza spots, so you're paying $28-35ish for a large. They do have small available, as well.

For the appetizers, we got the caprese salad ($19), cheesy garlic bread ($14), chicken wings ($18), and BBQ pork riblets ($18). The caprese salad was one of my favorites. The spring mix was super fresh, and even though I'm not the biggest cheese fan, I really liked the fresh mozzarella. The vinaigrette had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, making this a great spring or summer salad. The BBQ pork riblets and chicken wings were both a little dry. I liked the seasoning on the riblets, while the chicken wings were a bit lighter in flavor. The cheesy garlic bread was, as expected, super cheesy! I didn't realize the roasted garlic was served on the side, and personally wasn't the biggest fan of its flavor, but the focaccia itself had a great texture. We also shared the Aries ($22), Mercury ($21), and Cassiopeia ($25) pizzas. The Aries was a classic pepperoni pizza with a nice thin crust, and the Mercury was a margherita pizza. I liked the fresh tomatoes, although I wish there had been more basil. The Cassiopeia was my favorite of the three, and I can definitely see why it's so popular. The BBQ sauce was super flavorful and paired really well with the chicken and onions. Jupiter has a lively atmosphere and a really nice outdoor patio with live music, making it a fun spot for group dinners. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're coming with a larger group.
