Pizza Luce

I went to Pizza Luce at 32nd and Lyndale yesterday for dinner with my friend Becky. We got the artichoke dip, which had lots of artichokes, cream cheese, garlic, and parmesan cheese in it, and which was cheesy and delicious. It was served with two loaves of focaccia bread, and both the dip and the bread had lots of parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. We also ordered a medium shrimp al pesto pizza to share, which is my favorite pizza from there. It has lots of basil pesto, diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, garlic, and shrimp on Bianca sauce (their white sauce). It was delicious. Another pizza that I've had from them in the past that I really enjoyed is the Pizza Athena, which is a Greek-inspired pizza that has spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, Greek oregano, toasted garlic, and mozzarella on Bianca sauce. My friend pointed out that she really likes Pizza Luce's crust because it's of medium thickness; it's not thin crust, but also not thick crust, and it's doughy without being too doughy. We thought about getting their tiramisu for dessert, which is also good, but were ultimately too full for it. They also have a peanut butter brownie that's really good; it's a brownie with peanut butter on it and a layer of chocolate on top of that. Now they have a sundae that is made with that peanut butter brownie that I think sounds delicious and I want to go back and try. They also have these paintings hanging on the walls there right now, that are kind of cool, but also kind of creepy, that are paintings, some of them quite large, of extreme close-ups on people's faces. One of them was of Snoop Dogg and another looked like it was of Bob Marley, but I didn't recognize any of the other faces.
