Have you heard of the Pizza Pusha? No? He’s apparently New York’s “most famous weed guy,” and he’s known for selling pizzas drizzled with THC. He has restaurants, called St-ned Pizza, in the East Village and the Bronx, and one content creator, Nicole, who goes by Dope Kitchen and specializes in weed-infused eats, visited the East Village location to give her fans an honest review.

Nicole enjoyed the three-course meal, infused with THC, starting with garlic knots, followed by pizza and rounded out with cannoli and sorbet. She felt that it would be a good spot to visit with friends — as she was dining on her own, it was a slightly different experience.


As for the food, she said it was great; a standard “pizza and wings” vibe but very well made, and you can’t taste the infusion at all. There’s no alcohol, but you can choose whether or not you’d like your drinks to be infused with THC as well. Nicole opted not to, since the meal was already ensuring she’d be getting a good amount of THC into her system.


One drawback was how high the dosage was for the meal, which Nicole explained makes it inaccessible to a more casual consumer. “I’m fairly experienced with consumables and still only ate about 1/4 of what was served because I was so anxious in anticipation of the effects,” she wrote. “I felt like I couldn’t truly enjoy the meal or the experience because I was waiting for it to smack me in the face. Looking back, I probably could have eaten more and still would have been okay, but I was dining alone and didn’t want to get too crazy.”


The restaurant’s website doesn’t tell you how much THC each dish is infused with, meaning Nicole had to ask a waitress, which is how she learned that every course was infused with 100 milligrams. To make matters worse, you aren’t allowed to take unfinished food home, so the risk of high amounts of food waste is great. You can order pickup or delivery if you’d rather indulge at home, though.


The majority of commenters were in agreement that they would be leaving St-ned Pizza, for lack of a better term, fucked-up. One remarked, “30MG of edibles in Vegas had me seeing sounds and hearing colors. I cannot FATHOM what 300MG would do to my nervous system,” while another added, “Dude I take 25mg and can feel my esophagus.”



If you’re one of those people, St-ned Pizza might not be the place for you. Otherwise, though, buzz appetit!
