Owners of Artichoke Basille’s Pizza are opening up their first Staten Island location of the chain at the Empire Outlets in St. George, which will be New York City's first retail outlet center.  The co-founders of Artichoke are cousins who learned about the business at their family's Staten Island restaurant Basille's. They developed that famous artichoke pie there and went on to open a pizzeria in Manhattan which has since expanded to 12 locations.  The Empire Outlets are expected to open in the fall of this year.
