    It's huge, heavy and loaded with their (I think) Alfredo style sauce with artichoke hearts... And topped with some mozzarella for good measure. You can feel your heart start to struggle during and after eating it, worth it though.

  • replying to u/CrwdsrcEntrepreneur: Damn I'm about to get downvoted to hell but I actually like the artichoke slice. I know it's not a traditional pizza but if you like artichoke dip it slaps.

    the artichoke slice is a last meal kind of pizza slice but it is insanely good and can be an entire meal for one day in a single slice it's so filling and full of calories and fat.

  • replying to u/Easy-F: Artichoke pizza place is vomitous vile filth, straight from satan’s anus. It is not pizza. It is not food. it is not right. If you like it you’re going to hell.

    I actually think the pepperoni slice is solid, although more of a Detroit style than NYC. The artichoke slice is pretty awful in my opinion, drenched in gallons of greasy white sauce.

  • It’s sloppy and simply isn’t on the level of the other great NYC spots. The actual artichoke slice is a stick of butter on top of bread with a few artichoke hearts.

    It sucks unless you get the Sicilian and specifically eat it fresh out of the oven/a whole pizza rather than a reheated slice, then it’s really good.

  • This was exactly my experience as well. It's bland and it tastes like thick cardboard topped with paste. I've had it twice while drunk and never finished more than a few bites

  • replying to u/curbthemeplays: Favorite: Joe’s on Carmine and Louie’s and Ernie’s Underrated: Luigi’s Brooklyn Worst: Artichoke I was also really let down by Juliana’s lately, because I’m pretty fond of the OG Grimaldi’s back in the day. I’m not impressed with any of the trendy spots but do still have to try Lucali. I’m a die hard New Haven pizza snob at heart.

    100% agree that Artichoke is the worst. I have no idea what the fuss is all about. Their artichoke slice was soupy, and more or less gross. Their regular was passable - nothing to write home about.

  • replying to u/ZestycloseFactor780: while it isn’t a typical ny slice, artichoke pizza is sooooo good. Their Margherita pizza changed me from a thin crust pizza hater to a thin crust lover. their artichoke pizza is also phenomenal, but I don’t know how anyone could eat a whole slice without puking tbh

    The vodka square at Artichoke slice is really good. I’m not a huge fan of their other slices.

  • Pizza I would def try the artichoke slice at Artichoke. Some people hate it but most love it. It’s not anything like a typical slice of pizza. If you love artichoke and creamy Alfredo type sauces then you’ll love this.

  • replying to u/why_squ1rtle: That’s a lot of artichoke. In my memory that slice is only good if ur faded at 2am. I don’t recall it being good when sober

    The artichoke slice at Artichoke tastes like someone dumped a can of Campbell's cream of broccoli soup on pizza dough, put a bit of cheese on top, and called it a slice. Definite pass unless you are faded, as you said.

  • I’ve tried to give them a shot no fewer than >dozen times and have never, not once, had a positive experience. Didn’t matter which location, a whole pie, or a slice. Plain, artichoke, or pepperoni. Just trash, all of it. Either burnt to shit or a soggy buttery mess.
