The Arugula Pizza in Woodland Park, NJ That Turns Salad People Into Pizza People
Every group has one. The friend who looks at the menu, sighs, and says "I'll just get a salad."
We love that friend. We also have a plan for them. It is called the Arugula pizza, and it has quietly been converting salad people into pizza people at BASK46 in Woodland Park, one slice at a time.
It looks fresh and green. It tastes like you made a very good decision. And nobody at the table has to pick between "light" and "delicious" ever again.
What's on the Arugula Pizza at BASK46?
Here is the full lineup. Short list, big flavor:
• Arugula, fresh and peppery
• Prosciutto, thin, salty, and a little bit fancy
• Red onions for bite
• Roasted red peppers for something sweet and smoky
• Garlic, because this is New Jersey
• Shaved parmesan cheese
• Balsamic glaze drizzled over the top
That's it. No fillers, nothing extra.
Why It Works (a Quick Bite-by-Bite Breakdown)
Good pizza is all about balance, and this pie hits every note.
Peppery meets salty
Arugula has a fresh, peppery kick. Prosciutto brings the salt and that melt-in-your-mouth richness. Put them together and each one makes the other taste better.
Sweet meets sharp
Roasted red peppers and balsamic glaze add a mellow sweetness. Red onion and garlic cut right through it. Shaved parmesan ties it all up with that nutty, salty finish.
Fresh meets comfort
Here is the real trick. You get the crunch and brightness of a salad sitting on top of everything you love about a pizza. It is the only pie on the table that somehow feels light and indulgent at the same time.
If you have ever ordered a big arugula salad and thought "this needs prosciutto and a crust," congratulations. Your pizza exists.
Who Should Order the Arugula Pizza?
• The salad person. Obviously. They are about to have a moment.
• The foodie. Prosciutto, parmesan, and balsamic is a combo you'd expect at a pricey wine bar, not your neighborhood sports bar on Route 46. Surprise.
• The group that can't agree. Order one Arugula next to a classic pie and everybody wins. (Need help picking the rest? Here is what to order at BASK46 when you can't decide.)
• The "I've been here 20 times and always get the same thing" regular. You know who you are. Branch out.
What to Drink With It
Peppery greens and salty prosciutto love something crisp, bright, or a little bubbly. A few picks from our drinks menu:
• Purple French. Gin, lime, agave, topped with prosecco. Bubbly and fresh, basically made for this pizza.
• Austin Ranch Water. Vodka, passion fruit liqueur, agave, lime, and a splash of club soda. Light and citrusy.
• Spicy Blackberry Margarita. The berry plays nicely with the balsamic, and the heat wakes up the arugula.
• House wine or a cold draft. Never wrong.
Coming in on a weekday afternoon? Our happy hour runs Monday to Friday from 3 to 6 PM with deals on house wine, house margaritas, and drafts, plus discounted apps to start. Not a bad way to warm up before the main event.

Come Try It (Bring Your Salad Friend)
Next time someone at your table reaches for the salad, slide the Arugula pizza their way instead. Worst case, they get their greens. Best case, you just made a new pizza person.
Find it on our full menu, grab a table at BASK46, or order for pickup if you are eating on the couch tonight. We won't judge.
