Artichoke Basille's Pizza - Slice - Pizza Near Me - Jamaica, New York

The JFK location is really bad. I really don't have much expectations from airport food, but in LAX we have pizza that you really enjoyed to eat, this one is one of the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. I bought three slices took a few bites and it's all went to the garbage, it was really as bad as it could possibly be. I'm leaving this review so other travelers will know not to spend their money here. read more

Airport food pizza. This is not Artichoke Pizza as I've known it. This is pretty sad. It looks good under the glass but in real life it's just lacking. Also, at $7 to almost $9 a slice? What? Morbid curiosity got to me. I immediately regretted my decision. Made me sad. I wish present me could build a time machine to go back in time and tackle past me before I could place my order. read more

Under normal circumstances, I would never consume a slice of margarita pizza at 7am, but with an early flight, and my lack of desire to wait 40 minutes to get Dunkin, I figured this would suffice. It's been quite awhile since I've had Artichoke-- seems I've forgotten how great their slices were. I placed my order from the automated machine, and within a few minutes, the magic was created. This may be my go to going forward because the Dunkin line is always very long and the order usually takes almost the same amount of time as the initial wait to place the order. In Artichoke, we trust when you have a flight to catch! read more

Couldn't leave NYC without getting some pizza at the airport. I've heard of the Artichoke Basille's brand since they have a location in the Bay Area, so I was looking forward to it, although I shouldn't have expected much being an airport location. I opted for the Margherita slice as well as the meatball slice. I definitely preferred the meatball slice, but was a bit disappointed by the texture of both crusts as I wish it was a little more crisp, especially since they heat up the slices again. Additionally, the Margherita slice was more just cheese pizza, since the basil pieces were miniscule. The prices weren't bad, especially with all the other airport food options, but I would probably preferred to try the other airport food spots. read more

Pizza. DUBIOUS. Once at ARTICHOKE'S Stall I questioned the freshness of their Pizza based on appearance alone. No Customers or Employees in sight also gave me a BAD feeling. Displeased I left without a purchase. A shame 'cause I liked their Pizza at the MacDOUGAL location. CAUTION. read more

Slice of pizza and a breakfast Stromboli (I think that's the term) was a good pre flight meal. Taking 15 minutes to warm up and serve after ordering seemed a bit long. Food was good though. Interesting artwork of the Kennedy brothers! read more

Chewed something crunchy in the back of my mouth after biting into my Staten Island Slice. Ended up with a chipped tooth from who knows what, and a piece of pizza that wasn't terrific. The dollop of ricotta on the slice was minimal and the meatballs were few. Sadly, I didn't check the reviews before ordering, or I would have skipped this place and got a burger instead. I would also have my perfect teeth all in place. read more

Nothing wow about this place at all. There is no interaction with anyone as you order on a screen. The very little service I got was not what you would say friendly. Artichoke pizza was not good either .... It legit came apart... ... even the crust wasn't impressive. Tried to save some money to avoid paying 20 something for food but this is close to 9$ and not worth it. read more

As expected of airport food, overpriced and mid. It's essentially cold pizza reheated and the food doesn't even look fresh. But with the limited options inside the terminal, you gotta do what you gotta do. read more

I am usually a big fan of Artichoke Basille's Pizza, but please skip this location at JFK. Unfortunately, the food is all cold and not even that great when reheated. I can't even say for the pizza slices, but they didn't look fresh at all. Even though you can get pizza here, they also offered some breakfast strombolis in the morning. I got a Ham, Egg, Cheese, Pepper, and Onions Stromboli ($11.99), which was disappointing. The eggs were even a bit rubbery and there was no flavor whatsoever. For the price, my companion had a breakfast bagel at another location which was 10x much better. Spend your money elsewhere or skip the food at the airport altogether. read more

Not as good as good a in the city of NY. The taste is doughy. Not as flavorful as Time Square Artichoke restaurants. I guess this will do since I'm leaving NY. It's a 3/10. read more

I was in the airport for what was supposed to be a quick layover, however, after the third extension, I was hungry. Taking a stroll through the food court, I decided on Artichoke. I mean, how could I be in New York, hungry, pizza right in front of me, and I don't get any. As such, I headed to the Artichoke line and placed my order for a Pepperoni Slice and a Meatball Parm Slice via the kiosk. This kiosk was super simple and efficient and my order was placed and paid for all within 2 minutes at most. Once my order was placed, I stood in line until my name was called. As the slices I chose were part of the ones already done, I got to see them go in the oven to be heated and come out all bubbly and hot. Once out the over, they were covered, put in the bag, and my name was called. I headed to the open area in the courtyard to have a seat and enjoy my pizza and enjoy is exactly what I did. Each slice was perfect. The thin crust, with the perfect layer of sauce. The right spread of cheese and the meat was high quality. As I anticipated, the authentic taste was present with each slice and tasted as if it was slow cooked in a brick oven. Hands down, though this was a fast food experience, the pizza is restaurant quality. If you're in the Terminal and in the mood for some pizza, def stop past Artichoke and head to the kiosk to place your order. read more

Don't do it. A total waste of $20. I got the artichoke slice and vodka slice. Both were trash. I've had an artichoke slice in the past at the location in the village I remember it being delicious. Maybe they fell off or maybe the recipe is different or maybe it's just the airport location but both these slices went into the garbage. That's how bad they both were. read more

I was only at JFK for stop over. I love Artichoke Basille in Oakland and Berkeley, and thought this would be ok at least. To me pizza is either good or bad. This place is on the bad list. I'm not sure what went wrong. It tasted terrible. I couldn't even finish it, and it wasn't as big as it is normally. I know it's airport food but at least for $10 work something out. You order from a kiosk and they call out your name. Staff wasn't friendly or care. Possibly why this pizza is simply unacceptable. read more

This was the greasiest pizza I've ever had. The kind where your stomach immediately hurts after. I gave 2 starts instead of 1 because it's the airport and it was like $8 for a big slice which I feel is reasonable. I would be upset if I paid anymore than that. The crust was like two layers and I could peel it apart. The outside layer was nice and crunchy and it should've been the only layer but the inside one with all the sauce and artichoke was super undercooked. It was like they made the first pizza with just dough no sauce and then made a whole second pizza on top. New York is notorious for great pizza and this one was a disappointment read more

Pizza by the slice is one of the few foods that just sits out on display for you before you order. Meaning, I could tell that this wasn't a great idea, but my kid wanted pizza, and I ordered it anyway. Artichoke slices in particular are best at around 2:30 am in the East Village, after taking too many shots (any shots is often too many), because you need a gutbomb to soak up the alcohol so you aren't severely hungover the next day. Unfortunately, this was about 11 am, and I was dead sober, and fully aware of the bad decision I was making. And I was right. My kid's margherita slice was not good. I'm thankful the guy behind the counter cut it into little pieces for her, but nothing was going to get her to eat much of it, because she's used to good pizza. My vodka square tasted of nothing so much as cream, which was even more unfortunate. I didn't eat it all, which is something I almost never say. If I get to choose, and I probably won't, I wouldn't come back for this. In closing, I do want to say that pizza in New York is usually quite good. Unfortunately, an airport is not really anywhere; it lives on a different plane of existence. So, travelers in JFK Airport, please do not judge our city's pizza by this abomination. read more

Ok so I flew in from nyc super early and it was delayed the flight and I made the mistake of not eating on the plane and let's face it that snacks are not food So I couldn't handle it and decided to eat after I arrived vs people eating before they leave lol Many of the food court areas or even restaurants were long lines but yeah this place was almost empty and for a reason It's super slow even with no people they took their time despite all the pizza being ready and sitting there They heat it up to bring it back to life lol Honestly I don't give it horrible low scores because it wasn't bad at all. Could use some more cheese but yeah given this is New York I had more expectations but I was hungry I mean starving and I needed something and this definitely did the trick but I should have looked at help first before saying yes lol but hey it's fine it's fine just needs some help read more

Looked good but tasted terrible. Didn't know you could screw up pizza so badly. I was hungry but I threw it out after a few bites, which I never do because I hate wasting food. At $7 a slice it's cheaper than other airport food but it takes forever and they have the worst packaging for airport to-go food. Hard pass. read more

This location is not like a traditional Artichoke pizza location in my opinion so I'd avoid it. The line and food ordering system in this section of JFK is so confusing and the lady at the counter was giving people wrong orders out twice before mine. I like the artichoke pizza topping itself and it wasn't like the others you would get elsewhere, very disappointing and more dough than anything. read more

I had reasonable expectations. This is an airport spot after all but it turns out that my hopes were way too high. This is a fast food pizza joint turning out subpar slices. The crust looked decent but tasted less like a good dough and more like straight white flower. The pepperoni cups had decent flavor but the sauce was lacking (and very light). The meatballs were seriously unseasoned and the consistency of the slices were all over the place. I had the Staten island 3/10 and the pepperoni 4/10. I should've grabbed a bagel. read more

Wow...the reviews are very accurate. They're not even trying here. Sad, because I'm on my way back to Florida where good pizza is few and far between. I missed my opportunity to get a slice in the city this weekend, and set my expectations lower since this is an airport. I thought that since this is a well respected location in Little Italy, their airport location would at least be decent. It's not, it took forever; but why?? Slices are barely heated, what are we waiting for? The crust was not fresh in flavor or texture. One star for the flavor of the sauce and the cheese. All this said, it's still better than all the chains and the vast majority of places near my home. Do better Artichoke, this'll make people avoid your original location. read more

I'm surprised at the terrible reviews. I got my big Staten Island slice quickly, paid $7 and change, and am really enjoying it. $7 for a filling snack in between flights, quick service, and very tasty pizza-- that's better than I hope for in airport food. read more

If you're used to Artichoke's in the city, temper your expectations. This is not that. You order & pay through a computer and then wait, for a while. After waiting for a while, the guy told me he was giving me a completely different & less expensive slice than I paid for because he didn't have the pizza I ordered. I didn't even want the kind that he insisted I take. I asked about a refund for the price difference. He has me find someone in an orange apron. There is one person that fits this description managing a different restaurant. She was very flustered. Had me scan a QR code while screaming at the pizza guys for my order number, which they couldn't find. She runs away. Pizza tastes terrible. Threw away after a couple bites...this terminal is in desperate need of a lounge. read more

Honestly I'm surprised how bad the rating is. If you travel as often as I do, you know airport food isn't going to be that great but this pizza honestly was pretty decent for an airport (not the best I've had but no complaints). The price was great too. Came to $7.61 with tax and it's a big slice. I'd rather pay that for a decent slice than sit down in a restaurant and pay $25 for a meal I won't like plus tipping a server. They had a good variety of slices to choose from; thin slices and thick squares and different toppings. White pizza too. They are on display and will put in the oven to warm up and make it crisp. The 2 employees I interacted with were friendly and made eye contact and smiled. Be advised, you do order from their kiosk at the end of the counter versus telling them and cashing out with a human cashier. This is in terminal 5 food court. read more

The pizza sits out in a window as does most pizza by the slice in NY. My husband and I love NY pizza so we were excited to see this on our layover in terminal 5 at JFK. I thought the pizza looked bad but my husband wanted to get it anyway. $7/slice and they literally did not even put his in the oven. Mine was fine. Not the worst, DEFINITELY NOT the best!! Luckily, we were not far from the place when we learned they only gave my husband completely uncooked pizza so he was able to go back for cooked slices. He said his was then fine but he would never order it again. Edit to add that their ordering system lost someone else's order. The poor guy had been waiting a long time and they tried to tell him he hadn't ordered. He had opted to have the receipt texted to him, so he was able to show them. I always opt for that option when I go places too, as this has happened to me before. read more

There are a few locations around the city, but I often pass by because there's so many great inexpensive slice shops everywhere. The airport is a bit more limited with choices and you usually have low expectations. So a perfect time to try one of their signature slices. Artichoke Slice: A massive amount of food for one slice. It's kinda like the dough of a deep dish pizza with a bunch of creamy spinach artichoke dip on top. Definitely not a NY slice by any means, but kind of cool in its own right. Very cheesy and very indulgent. Unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, they reheated it a bit too long and the bottom was slightly burnt. So that took away from the experience a bit. read more

I was flying out of JFK on a Friday evening and ended up catching a earlier flight to Las Vegas, having approximately 20 minutes until boarding for the flight. I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and saw Artichoke Basille's Pizza. The line was relatively short for this pizza place inside JFK, Terminal 5. I walked up the counter and asked for a cheese pizza. It was warmed in the oven and provided promptly. The check-out was pretty seamless. $7.00 for a slice of cheese pizza though! The pizza slice was still cold, the cheese wasn't melted. The slice did have plenty of sauce on it though. The dough was extremely thick. Service was quick though and I was able to make my flight with no issues! read more

Like another reviewer mentioned, cheapest option in the court, $7 a slice, and not bad wait time. I did not read the reviews before trying it. I did notice, it took me 15mins to eat one slice. It didn't look thick but it tasted thick. I got the artichoke pizza. I wish it was hotter. It was ok, not much flavor but I did eat it. This is I'm hungry food. It's whatever. read more

What happened to the pizza? The artichoke pizza is think dry, no more sauce. I was so disappointed.

People here have no clue what they are doing. Took 30 mins to get three slices. There was one person in front of us.

Slice of pizza was $7 and not great, but the breakfast Stromboli was actually horrible. They reheat all your items in the oven for several minutes and yet the bottom of the Stromboli still came out cold. The dough is raw and chewy--you can see it's still partially translucent in my photo. The eggs aren't salted, and there's hardly any sausage, so all you can taste is raw dough. read more

Artichoke Basille's Pizza - Sausage, egg, and cheese Stromboli - Pizza Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Come here because it's like the cheapest food option, not because you're expecting a good slice. At $7 each for pepperoni, 2 slices is a better deal than other options around. This is where the "good" stops. The dough was so thick and chewy and doughy. There was no crisp to be found anywhere on that pizza. It must've been sliced too hot, because the cheese was sliding off. The pepperoni was sliced a little too thick for my liking, but that could just be how Artichoke serves them. My two stars are for the fact that the flavor of the sauce was fine. They seem to move quickly enough, dispensing with the longish line I was in before I was able to be even slightly annoyed. The moral of the story here is, have your expectations low. Very low. Or, eat before you arrive and save yourself the trouble! read more

Allergen info was unclear plus the person at the kiosk couldn't actually tell me about allergens. Also since I just came back from like 5 months in the Middle East was really craving some pizza but it disappointed. Got two slices, one pepperoni and one artichoke which I've never had, artichoke pizza was very stiff and not very flavorful. Pepperoni was okay but would not recommend. Also seating is difficult. read more

Whether one is a curious tourist or a desperate local, I'm finding no one wins when it comes to the airport version of Artichoke. This isn't the NY pizza that is worth traveling from wherever you came from nor is it the pizza of yesteryear during its heyday in the East Village. This is overpriced airport pizza bearing the same name. And sadly, I fit amongst the curious *and* desperate folk. Having grown tired of the JetBlue CIBO options over the years, the sample display pizzas have me wondering if things have improved over the years. The curiosity turns into something more and eventually I'll find myself desperate to try it again. Yet somehow I've succumbed to the mediocrity by paying the price (#1) every time. The crust for many of their pizzas have been dry, thick, and sometimes overly doughy. Something is off with the sauce(s) and more of than not the pizza doesn't hold well and the toppings end up sliding right off. Whether it's undercooked or burnt on the bottom, it's almost a guarantee that it's going to be a messy meal. I would normally say it's better to aim for a pepperoni slice versus the standard artichoke, but I've struck out with almost all of them at some point. Then there is the off-chance that there is a pizza that is properly cooked and somewhat of a representation of the real thing. Is it nearly $8 a slice good? No. Is the service comparable to the pizza? It might actually be worse. Ultimately, is it worth the airport meal while waiting for a flight? Not really, there's definitely better food in Terminal 5. __________ (#1) Literally and figuratively. read more
