Artisans Pizza Creations

I have always thought of an artisan as a skilled person, meticulously creating something by hand. With painstaking attention to detail, lacking in mass produced products. The aptly named Artisans restaurant in Nanshan, lives up to that definition. Passionate and meticulous about giving you the best.

The continuous effort that goes into the food prepared at Artisans is obvious at first bite. The salad dressing, pizza sauce and even the pizza dough are each made from scratch. Very specific ingredients for detailed recipes are created, based on taste, while always promoting healthy choices. This is truly the work of a pizza artisan. Although sauce, dough and salad dressing can easily be found commercially, Artisans skillfully assembles many high quality and sometimes difficult to get culinary components to create their own savory versions. All the staff has been formally trained to ensure consistency. Mass-produced products would be cheaper, but would certainly not be as delicious.

Artisans is a labor of love for owner Quinton Daniels. Already a successful entrepreneur in China, Artisans is Quinton’s means to escape. Quinton is totally driven to pizza perfection rather than pizza profits. It actually takes 4 days to create the dough for the delightful “baker’s crust” pizza.

Every aspect of dining at Artisans has been considered to give you a delicious meal in a comfortable setting. The music was relaxing and played at a perfect volume. You could hear the songs, but you could still easily carry on a conversation at your table. The service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. The décor and feel of the place is like half pub, half pizza parlor.

While you enjoy the best pizza and salads in Shenzhen, be sure to check out the wine list at Artisans. Quinton is somewhat of a wine connoisseur. Every one of the wines served at Artisans has been carefully selected. I really enjoyed the wine called “Turning Heads”, which was recommended by the maître d. When the wine was recommended, my first thought was that the name was so novel, it won’t likely be good. I ordered anyway as it was suggested. Of course I was pleasantly surprised. It was absolutely delectable. I had to appreciate that Quinton put in the effort to only provide wines that were vetted by his expert wine palate. If you prefer beer, Artisans also serves several high-quality craft beers.

Artisans is still new to Shenzhen, but they have already taken their pizza prowess to the next level. Artisans has opened a second small outlet in the “ING” gourmet food market in Shekou. The Shekou outlet does not have a dining room but is like an incubator for feedback. A great way to sample Artisans scrumptious creations.

Everything on the menu at Artisans is geared towards nutritious American gourmet pizza and salads. Artisans menu is largely inspired by California fusion cuisine which is focused on providing a creative mix of healthy, fresh, local foods. California cuisine pizza is generally themed and often includes carefully selected, non-traditional ingredients. With a focus on discerning ingredients low in saturated fats, Artisans creates masterpieces that are both healthy and delicious. Making Artisans a healthy choice. Even the french fries are baked to avoid the fat. For myself, I’d have to say that I enjoyed the best pizza and salad in the five years I have been in Shenzhen.

Located in the Poly Cultural Plaza, Nanshan district, right across from the oddly shaped Poly Theater (Houhai metro station, exit E1), Artisans is friendly, convenient and easy to find. Although Nanshan is very metropolitan, Artisans is located in an area that seems laid back and casual.

Although it takes a long time to get there from where I live (Kengzi, Pingshan New District) I have already made the trek several times to visit Artisans in Nanshan, during the 7 months that they have been opened and I plan to make it a regular stop every time I get the chance. A dream come true would be an Artisans outlet in Pingshan or even Longgang.

You can call 0755-8628-7109 and have a delightful Artisans pizza delivered to your door or use one of several food service apps like Mazing, Shenzhen Eat and Koubei. With delivery, you will savor the carefully prepared pizza, salads and more, but you won’t meet the friendly staff of Artisans. If you go down to the restaurant, just steps from Houhai metro station (exit E1), there is a good chance you will meet Quinton himself. Catch the latest blockbuster at Poly Theater, then walk directly across for a mouthwatering pizza and salad for a perfect evening.
