Artichoke Basille's is a counter-service slice shop at 321 E 14th St, open daily 11am to 5am per its own location page. The draw is essentially one item: the spinach-artichoke slice, which The Infatuation describes as 'more like a four course meal (artichoke, an assortment of cheeses, cream sauce, thick Italian bread) than it is a slice of pizza' and weighs in at two and a half pounds. Time Out NY calls the East Village shop 'perpetually packed.'
The line is a late-night fixture. The Infatuation describes a '24/7 line' and, on one Thursday visit at 2:30am, counted 'a line forty deep for a slice of pizza,' which it pegged at 'at least an hour' wait. The wait is not only about volume. The same review complains about 'deliberately slow operation' and notes that even 'when it's empty, it still takes fifteen minutes to get a slice.'
So the queue stacks two ways: after-bar crowds and a slow counter. The Infatuation, despite calling the signature slice 'worthy of the buzz,' concluded 'I'm just not lining up for it ever again.' Damnlines has no camera at this location, so nothing here is a live count. The figures above are reporters' observations, not our measurement.

Daily 11AM-5AM, per the official site.
The Infatuation counted 'a line forty deep' at 2:30am and estimated 'at least an hour' at that peak; it also says a slice takes about fifteen minutes even when the shop is empty. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
The Infatuation blames 'deliberately slow operation,' noting a slice takes roughly fifteen minutes even with no crowd. So the wait comes from pace as much as volume.
