The New York Times's outgoing "$25 and Under" columnist Peter Meehan "comes to the party late" but arrives nonetheless at Artichoke Basille's. Like most folks, he digs the place but quibbles about the queue:
Waiting in line for it spoils the fun, the spontaneity, the charm; needing to strategize to go there is a bummer.
But it’s the blessing of the New York restaurant world, too: supply and demand. The guys at Artichoke brought an underrepresented style of pizza — big pies on a bready, almost tough, crust, generously and greasily topped — and the city has gone nuts for it. Who am I to protest?
