I must admit I was a little late to the game on this one but finally got the chance to stop by the now famed Artichoke Basilles in the East Village. I have heard stories of long lines and a soup-nazi-like atmosphere but must have hit it on a good day since I experienced neither. What I did experience though was one of the most delicious versions of pizza I have ever tasted.
They have only four choices for slices or pies: Artichoke, Margarita, Sicilian and Crab. I decided on the Sicilian and no matter that it was incredibly messy to eat and slightly burnt, I wanted to take my time eating it, to savor every last bite. A deliciously dense, crispy crust was the perfect vehicle for the sweet marinara sauce and rich, salty cheese. Yet another reason for why there is no excuse for eating bad pizza in New York. I say pick up a sicilian pie to go, then grab a 6 pack of Moretti on your way home and voila! Italian Night In.
