I know I'm always advocating for a home-cooked meal, in fact, that's why you read, right? But lately, I've been exhausted! A new job with new responsibilities means new demands for my time. In an effort to lighten the load, I've been trying to find kid-friendly dinner spots to frequent on Mondays, our busiest night of the week. Well this Monday my prayers may have been answered, because a new restaurant opened its doors to help out busy families and foodies alike. Pizza Artista has all the perks of home cooking: quality ingredients, easy atmosphere, cost effectiveness, with the added bonus of zero cleanup! The format is simple, you can choose from their pre-designed creations or assemble your own from the variety of crusts, cheeses, veggies, meats (including crawfish and andouille!) and other toppings list. Allow your kids to get creative with their meal and the adorable activities available in the shop. Mom and dad can have a date night (yes, they serve beer and wine) knowing that the kids are well-fed and entertained, and get this...pizzas are ready in under 5 minutes and most cost less than $8!
Find them on Facebook or online at www.pizzaartista.com. Drop in for lunch or dinner at 5409 Johnston Street. Make dinner a culinary creation of your choosing! Enjoy!
