Tim and I decided that we'd try a new (to us, at least) appetizer. The artichoke spinach cheesebread ($5.25) was kind of like eating spinach artichoke dip baked onto Italian bread. And it was delicious. It was definitely more vibrantly green than any spinach artichoke dip I've ever had--they must have blended the spinach up into the mixture--but the color contrasted nicely with the diced tomatoes on top. Everyone at the table really seemed to enjoy it, and I know I did. I'd definitely order it again. (Side note--for the best artichoke dip money can buy, try The Ball & Biscuit's--there are no words to describe how wonderously delicious it is!) 
Our friends ordered breadsticks to share--an order of 10 sticks was $9.75 and came with three sauces. The sticks are the pillowy kind--not sure whether they're housemade (in a place like Jockamo's, I would think so)--and were very good with the creamy parmesan sauce our friends ordered.Tim and I split a large meatball, mushroom, and gorgonzola pizza ($12.25 for a large cheese, plus $1.65 for the mushrooms and $2.75 each for the meatballs and gorgonzola). This is our go-to build-your-own pizza (sometimes we interchange the cheese for goat cheese, but the gorgonzola hit the spot this time). Our pizza was incredibly good--cheesy of its own accord, plus the tangy sharpness of the blue cheese (there was plenty of it!), and the meaty spice of the meatballs. The mushrooms got a little lost with so many other strong flavors (plus they were more scarce than the other toppings), but when I did get a bite with one it gave a little tinge of earthy mushroominess. We had quite a bit of pizza leftover, but Jockamo's reheats really well, so Tim enjoyed those for dinner later in the week. Overall, a really successful trip to one of our favorite pizza joints in town!
