Artichoke Unleashes Late Night Pizza, Lines on West Side

Artichoke, the super popular East Village slice joint, has begun to open its new outpost over in Chelsea. The main restaurant section of the operation has yet to make its debut, but last night, club goers and bar hoppers got their first taste of the oversized slices from the new to-go window. Per a tipster who was hanging in the Avenue kitchen: "It opened at 10pm (take out style pizza counter)...pizza is being served and they will be open until 5 AM tomorrow morning. Bouncers from avenue and 1OAk are already lining the sidewalks." Reps say is was a test run, but it could be open this weekend. Expect the full restaurant to open in the next seven to ten days.
