You soon won’t have to cross the Hudson River to satisfy your Artichoke Basille Pizza craving. The New York-based restaurant has announced its Hoboken location will have its grand opening on Oct. 7.

The restaurant known for its artichoke pizza — think artichoke dip instead of pizza sauce under the cheese — got its start in New York in 2008, and now has 11 locations in New York, two in California and one in Connecticut with another planned. The Hoboken location, at 96 Hudson St., is to be the first of five New Jersey locations. Artichoke Basille Pizza previously announced that location sin Jersey City, New Brunswick, Princeton and Newark are all in the works.

“We have received an outpouring of support from the Historic District community since first announcing that we were coming to the area, and we are incredibly excited to finally open our doors in Hoboken,” owner Premal Shanghvi said in a release. “We’re looking forward to serving New Jersey and slinging Artichoke Pizza to families, businesses, and commuters here for many years to come!”

If you can’t wait until Oct. 7 for an artichoke slice, the restaurant is having a fundraiser the day before for the Hoboken Library Foundation from 12 to 3 p.m., where 100 percent of proceeds will go to the foundation. The library’s BookBike will be there as well to lend out cookbooks. Library staff will be on hand to register people for library cards.

Artichoke’s namesake pizza is its signature pie, though it’s also known for crab sauce pie, its vodka sauce pie and Staten Island pie with meatballs, red onions and ricotta cheese.
