Artichoke Basille's Pizzeria & Brewery

Don't be surprised to see a crowd of people standing in front of this tiny place on 14th Street, and not because there is some New York celebrity couple inside. The star's name here is Art E. Choke, and the pizza fan base he has tapped into is nothing short of astonishing. East Villagers have a hound-like hunger for these garlic-flavored slices, you can almost see them panting and drooling on the sidewalk outside.
