It's like they're in slow motion and don't know how to keep things moving. I'm officially DONE with this place. Artichoke: check out a pizza joint in midtown during rush hour and see how it's done.

There wasn't much artichoke taste, but I don't think artichoke hearts have too much taste which is why they're so good marinated. But the artichoke texture was not so great for a pizza topping. The taste of the pie was good, like having Houston's spinach/artichoke dip on pizza dough. But I thought the bottom of that pie was a bit too hard.<br /><br />The sauce on the regular wasn't falling off as much since it was cooler when I ate mine, but I didn't think the sauce was flavorful enough. Which is weird because generally I'm closer to a 'super taster' so to find something bland is unusual for me. The taste was good, but it was too light. <br /><br />It's definitely worth going to try the spinach/artichoke pie, but I'm glad I have Italian Village around the corner from home.
