Silvio's Pizza Serves Up Organic Slices

"Aren't you tired of chain delis and "authentic" burrito joints? Well, Silvio's Pizza is a great lunch alternative. Upon entering, the "young artists wall," a spot covered in children's paintings, sets the right tone: very relaxed and comfortable, featuring café sized tables (barely fits 2), pictures of mountains and environmentally friendly fliers filling in the eatery. (Hippies flock here, thinking they are saving the world by eating organic pizza and recycling. This place feels like Amsterdam without the brownies.)

Aside from the mellow vibe, what sets Silvio's apart from the chain restaurants is the food. Although it's hidden in the building where Sushi.come is, Silvio's charm shines through. The emphasis on organic ingredients means you can taste the difference; the pizza isn't greasy, it doesn't taste like canned tomatoes, and the spices don't overpower the rest of the pie. Although pepperoni is still available, the pizza options feature unique options like anchovies, eggplant, asparagus and shrimp pizzas. If you don't see a combination that fits you, that okay because Silvio will cater to your creative pizza vision. Prices for pizzas are $1.75-2.75 a slice, and $8-20 for a pie. There are also many other types of foods like pasta, sandwiches, calzones, soups, and salads with prices ranging from $5-9.50."
