Artichoke Pizzeria


PRICE RANGE:$

So I discovered this little spot after a night of drinking with some friends and let me tell you I am SO HAPPY I did. First let me say this place is ALWAYS busy, especially so late at night. Being that there are some universities close by you will find a multitude of young kids milling about online after partying. So this place only has 4 different pizza's to choose from. One would think thats very limiting,right? Not at all. The slices they have are these: Margherita $4, Sicilian $4, Crab $4.50 and Spinach and Artichoke $4.50. Being a native New Yorker I'm pretty dead set against paying more than $2 for a slice of pizza but I decided to try the pizza.  Let me tell you the slices are HUGE you could definitely split it with someone and feel satisfied, but I guarantee you won't want to after tasting it. So the Margherita slice is delicious very savory and minimal although a tad bit salty but I can tolerate it. I have not tried the crab meat since I am not a big fan of seafood but this place is all about the Spinach and Artichoke slice. Think of a really yummy spinach and artichoke dip on a nice fluffy bed of bread and some gooey cheese and that is what the slice is. This place is cash only so be sure to bring some because if not you will be directed to the ATM across the street and you will lose your place in line. They have beer,soda and water if you get thirsty. There is no seating at the place on 14th street but there is one small bench outside and mostly everyone just stands around eating. They opened up another location which does have seating and serves a variety of other stuff which I have yet to go and try but will review at another time. This place is good for all types.
