Once upon a time you could only purchase this slice in the East Village, but over the years they have expanded and have locations in Chelsea & the Greenwich Village. This spot is perfect for when you have been all night drinking and need a late night greasy fatty bite, as the East Village and Chelsea locations are open to 4 AM. Don't be fooled by the margarita & crab pizza here- yes it is delicious, but pales in comparison to the one and only artichoke slice. You should know that sitting down is not an option at any of these restaurants except for Chelsea, and you most likely will encounter a line, but it tends to move quickly! Also, you will NOT walk away clean after eating here- expect to take whatever it is your wearing to the drycleaner, especially if enjoying after boozing all night long!
Artichoke pizza is like crack- when you have it once it haunts your cravings! I have been known to buy two slices and if I don't drunkly eat them all in one sitting I will heat it up the extra slice for a lovely hungover breaky. So naturally when I found out they were selling Artichoke Pizza "in your grocer's freezer" I ran to the grocery store to purchase. I invited another Artichoke Pizza lover over and we patiently waited by the oven for it to be ready. Sad to say we were majorly disappointed! No gloppy cheese, lackluster flavor & thin crust - it just had us craving for the real thing!
Lastly, this pizza has to be like 10,000,000 calories and its worth every bite. One slice is enough, but I won't judge you if you have two or three ; )
