Artichoke Basille's Pizza is hitting the square, as in Time Square, when it opens just a few blocks away from the Big Apple's big meeting spot later this month at 1410 Broadway on 39th Street. It is the brand's first Midtown Manhattan restaurant and the twelfth location in New York City and its boroughs.

"After nearly 12 years since we've been founded, we're excited to finally bring Artichoke Basille's Pizza to Midtown Manhattan, and just in time to ring in the new year," Artichoke Basille's co-founder and co-owner, Francis Garcia, said in the release. "To finally have an Artichoke Basille's Pizza right near Times Square, that's pretty surreal for us."

The Times Square restaurant will be a 1,100-square-foot takeout spot, modeled after the original Artichoke Basille's Pizza location in East Village. The restaurant's interior will feature NYC-inspired design elements like exposed brick and tin, which also pay homage to Artichoke's original outpost. 

The menu will star Artichoke's authentic New York slices and whole pies in eight varieties, including signature flavors like the namesake Artichoke Pie, Crab Pie and Staten Island Pie.
