Worst

It took 1.5 hours and the delivery guy forgot my two drinks I ordered. Pizza was tasty but for the price, the delay and poor service it only gets two stars.

Absolutely Delicious!!!!!! 10/11/2008

Although this pizza may not be the most traditional it tastes better than anything I've had in Manhattan. The Artichoke slice is perfectly made. The crust is thick with a crispy outerlayer and soft inner with creamy goodness all over. The margarita slice is also very good, it tastes like a thin crust pizza but is much thicker. The pizza is huge so you can split it with someone you love. My boyfriend hates artichokes but loves this pizza. The line may be long but it's definitely worth the wait. Bring good friends and time will pass as you await this different yet perfect slice of pizza. P.S. At certain times of the day there is no line (2-3 people), peak seems to be late night when everyone is drunk and hungry. Pros: tasty Cons: no seating... more

Editorial review from GrubHub 9/12/2008

I ordered the Artichoke Pizza and got the delivery more than 2 hours later. The crust was very chewy and topping was like the spinach dip you get in other restaurants with nachos. more

its good pizza, but some negatives bring it down to average, and not worth the wait 8/26/2008

Ive had this pizza several times, and every time with a line of up to maybe 6-7 people. I would not be caught dead waiting in line for over 10 minutes, and thats pushing it. Pros: the artichoe slice. good ingredients. good dough, many customers meaning always fresh out of the oven Cons: usually burnt BLACK, huge pointless line, sudden price hike more

It burnt so good 7/30/2008

I am a lady of leisure this week. I have my first week off in two years thus, I get to eat lunch at places that are wayyy too busy for supper. I avoided the line by going at 2 o clock on Tuesday afternoon. I had a delicious slice of Sicilian with fresh basil and parmesan that was slightly burnt but oh so yummy. I burnt my mouth but it was the kind of burn that felt good and didn't stop me from eating the rest of Lex's. Pros: Delicious all around Cons: No where to sit more

What's the line for? 7/9/2008

I went when there wasn't actually a line (first time ever)... and for $4/slice (that's the new price), it is NOT worth it. The artichoke slice is very rich and the crust is too thick and slightly burnt. What are people waiting in line for? Pros: Good location Cons: Price, Taste, Wait more

Overrated, but still on my list. 7/3/2008

My roommate and I stumbled into Artichoke within the week of its opening. At this time, a Neapolitan pie was offered for $11(!); this was reasonably canceled later as a ""grand opening promotion"", though there was no hint of this at the time. I like Artichoke, but the quality has dropped somewhat since my first experience there. Pros: Good ingredients, large slice and pie sizes, friendly staff, occasional snacks while you wait. Cons: Long line, doesn't live up to the hype, cramped space, lacks flavor. more

Holy overrated Batman! 7/1/2008

If you have an hour or two to burn waiting on line for pizza that is only a bit better than average, go right ahead. But at the end of the day, it's pizza. I called ahead thinking it would reduce my wait time, oh how mistaken I was. As we waited, my brother pointed out the embarrassing fact that we were actually waiting on line for pizza. Never again. The ingredients are fresh but they adhere to the Sbarro school of way too much dough. I would go anywhere else in the neighborhood for a slice to avoid the line. My suggestion would be to go to Vinny Vincenz on first ave and pay the extra buck for the fresh mozzarella slice. Oh, and the artichoke slice is just gross: way too rich. Pros: pizza? Cons: uh . . . it's still just pizza more

Lemmings in line 6/27/2008

OK. Here's how to make a tasty pizza: Take an entire stick of butter and a half a pound of cheese. Melt it on one slice. Just one. Now dump enough creamy alfredo sauce to give you the right type of heart attack. Don't bother adding sauce to it. Who adds sauce on a NY pizza? Now take two slices of spinach and maybe one or two artichokes....not too many!! Just enough to make the vegetarians think that this artery clogger is ""healthy."" Serve on chicago style deep dish crust for this NY treat. We'll call it the Artichoke slice. People will line up for this thing. Pros: No actual real new yorkers in line Cons: no seats?! long line. pizza (i just dont get it). more

My New Favorite! Please don't join the line... 6/9/2008

Hey Ma, these guys seriously know what they are doing in the kitchen!. Each slice is perfectly unique, the sauce, the cheese, the crust!!!! The dense sicilian is amazing and might be my favorite, but the artichoke can become an unexpected constant craving. They slice them large, the price is right, the line....ridiculous!!!...but worth it if only ten deep. If I were you, I would order one or two pies and refrigerate for an entire week for multiple nights of ""Holy F@^#$%, this is good friggin pie!"" This place is a godsent considering the overpriced horrid new fancy BS that keeps opening to acclaim around gentrified NYC. Thanks for bringing the real deal back to Manhattan! Pros: Best friggin slice Cons: Lonnnng Line more

Refreshing Traditional and Delicious! 5/23/2008

We read a review for this place in New York Magazine and had to try it. The line was down the block so we hopped on and waited our turn and let me tell you it was WORTH THE WAIT! It's a tiny hole in the wall with a very short menu and a very long line! We ordered 2 of the famous artichoke and spinach pizza slices that were creamy and delicious, 3 regular slices which were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of cheese and sauce and a stuffed artichoke! The stuffed artichoke is second only to my grandmothers and was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I would wait on that line just for one stuffed artichoke! Don't be intimidated by the line ... it only means they have a big turn over and your food will be that much better because it just came out of the oven! The guys running the joint are adorable and sweet and have good ol'rat pack music playing... Nice to see small businesses like this succeed this big city! Good job guys and good luck! Pros: Great pizza, Great people, fair prices Cons: I could say they need to expand but then it would loose some charm :) more

Mangia the best pizza by the slice in NYC! 5/5/2008

You will want to bathe in the marinara sauce. The Artichoke spinach slice ( tastes like spinach dip ) is the size of a frisbee , for a mere 3.oo a slice. The guys are dolls from Staten Island. They are new on the scene, and still perfecting this near perfect pizza. They are struggling to keep more consistent hours as they do the daily commute in from SI. They are offering free pizza if you can find them an apt in Manhattan. Help them help us eat the most delicious pizza often. Mangia, enjoy! Pros: Best pizza by the slice in NYC Cons: Hours are not yet consistent, no seating..standing room only. more

Don't let the line out the door deter you...this pizza really is worth waiting for... 5/4/2008

I live across the street from Artichoke and I am so happy for the guys who own the place. FINALLY a family owned and operated place opens up in a city where non-chain stores are closing left and right. Aside from that, these guys are really great people and they really and truly know how to make an amazing slice of pizza. Whether it's their HEAVENLY Artichoke Signature slice or even just a plain or a Sicilian slice EVERY SINGLE element of the pie is top notch. The crust is homemade perfection, the sauce stellar and the ingredients fresh and delicious. I am so impressed at how well they are doing. But seriously, it all has to do with the fact that their pizza really is THAT good. Literally every single night there is a line out the door. DO NOT let that turn you away. Be patient and kind to your fellow next-in-liner and prepare to enjoy a wonderful home cooked slice of heaven. I HIGHLY recommend the Artichoke Signature Slice...it is bonkers. It is a flavor adventure which is possibly the best slice of pie I have had to date (and I do consider myself to be a NYC pizza connoisseur). Muzzerella on A b/w 13th & 14th makes a GREAT plain slice, but this place beats them hands down. Well done gentlemen! This is how pizza should be done. Long live the home cooked taste of a family run business!!! Check it out; you won't be sorry you waited!!! Pros: Wonderful, fresh ingredients AMAZING Artichoke Signature Slice Cons: Long lines BUT if you practice patience and kindness, you will be rewarded 10 fold in the end more

BEST PIZZA EVER!!!!!!!!!! 4/16/2008

I ate their with my boyfriend for the 1st time yesterday. I regularly pass the place, but the line since day 1 has been sooooo long. we decided to take on the line. after 15 min, we were holding the most beautiful, large, cheap piece of pizza i have ever gazed my brown eyes upon. we sat a few doors down and within minutes people were asking us about the pizza. we raved and raved about it. The men inside you so helpful and kind. I love the specialty of the place. 2 kinds of pizza and stuffed artichokes. $3 for a slice! Its perfection you cant go wrong. Pros: Cheap & Delicious Cons: please we wait in line 1/3 of our lives. Its worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! more
