One of our absolute favorite pizza slices in all of New York City is the artichoke slice from Artichoke Pizza. I mean it. Look at the size of this thing. It is giant. Every single bite is pure perfection.
I remember the first time I got my hands on one of these legendary slices. People talk about New York pizza all the time. They talk about classic thin crust and simple cheese slices. But this place does things completely different. They load up a heavy, thick crust with a rich mixture that feels more like a gourmet dip than a standard pizza topping. It is heavy. It is creamy. The second you lift it up, you can feel the sheer weight of it.
The slice is packed with a rich spinach cream sauce, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, and pecorino cheese. Drenched. Every square inch is completely covered in that velvety sauce. You get huge chunks of tender artichoke hearts buried under a golden, bubbly layer of cheese.
Taking a massive bite into this slice is an unbelievable experience. The crust holds up against the intense weight of the topping, giving you a sturdy base with a nice bite. Then you get that huge wave of rich cream, salty pecorino, and savory artichoke. It hits you instantly. Unreal. The flavor profile is bold and aggressive in the best way possible.
It is not just a slice of pizza. It is an event. You need two hands just to keep it steady while you go in for a bite. If you are looking for the most satisfying, hearty slice in New York City, you have to try this one out. The result? Incredible.
