    What a delightful surprise. We were looking for some artisan pizza, salad, and a cocktail. We found this hidden speakeasy"ish" spot in the basement of 1800 Arch Street essentially seeming like a random pop-up. Yet, it has a very cool vibe created by lighting and simplistic decor with the grand pizza oven with mosaic embellishments  (Marra Forni) being the focus of the wide open space! The food was fantastic, exactly what you would expect from a Vetri restaurant. The pizza was so delicious, the chopped salad with the perfect blend of ingredients, a good selection of beer and some delicious signature cocktails. We loved it!
