Artichoke was a Middle Eastern place that I was rather fond of. They have since moved to New Bahru and subsequently made a rather big pivot to a pizza shop (46 Kim Yam Road #01-02). I think the chef basically graduated the pizza omakase course that he previously incubated at his Smalls counter.
Yep, the pizza is all done in his own way, with those "UnderCrust" slabs above being a bit like Detroit-style pizza in that there is cheese baked into the crust. But the cheese is on the bottom rather than the sides, and the dough is lighter and poofier. They were dressed with things like halloumi, pistachio, fennel, kumquat, and hazelnut, which I liked for not just its ambition but also proper quality ingredients (mmm...nice tomatoes!).
Some of the Middle Eastern items are apparently back on the menu by the way, including hummus and baked cauliflower. Either way, I like the fun attitude and service of this place. Next time we should try their stone baked "rounds" featuring deep-fried dough.
