Caesar salad with amazing anchovie dressing
Carrie O.

Such a cozy pizza place! Never felt rushed. Service was amazing and we will definitely return!

Artichoke
Anne F.

I came here with my husband and his other friend and his friend's girlfriend. They used to come here all the time when they lived near Port Authority. My husband always wants pizza, like always, so between this place and another restaurant, we chose this one. It was Sunday afternoon so not too crowded. Server was quick. We started with the artichoke. Our friend said they used to have more artichoke on the plate but now it's only 2. This was a bit shocking for them. They also so got arancini - which they also commented that it used to come with 4 balls and now only 3. My husband got the meat lovers pizza and I got a prosciutto pie. Our friends also split a prosciutto pie. The slices are sliced into 4's, so much larger than anticipated. The pizzas are wood fired so the crust is amazing: chewy and crunchy at the same time. It's a cute little pizza spot that I definitely recommend if you're looking for some quality pizza. The menu is limited so no pasta but who doesn't love pizza? Also their bathroom is super cool; it's an old-fashioned toilet with a pull down level to flush. Unfortunately the water pressure is weak so you may have to pull a few times to flush everything but still pretty awesome.

quick story... 11 years ago I came here with my brother & cousin on a whim because I saw this place recommended on Tumblr... I've been back to NYC many times since but had never saved this spot.. and I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN. I've been searching as I never forgot about this pizzeria!!! I say all this to say that pizza taste just like it did then. Exceptional italiana style pizza. I had the hot honey to share with my partner (2 slices each) and we ended with an espresso. Had lunch on a Wednesday @2 and it was very lowkey, no wait, great service, and good vibe. I'll be back again!!!

Dinner in New York City... My good Yelp friends were looking out for me. They noticed that I was in New York and suggested that I get some New York pizza! I told my friend and she told her brother. They had been to Capizzi in the past and said that this place is really good because the pizzas are baked in a brick oven and the pizzas are personal sized. Okay! We walked over from the theater and entered the cozy, warm, dimly lit restaurant. Service was very welcoming and helpful! We shared the Artichoke salad with pine nuts... delicious! My friend and her brother got the Loaded pizza while I got the Prosciutto Fungi pizza. I enjoyed the texture of the mushrooms and the fragrant, fresh basil. The Prosciutto added the savory flavor to the thin, crisp crust! We finished off our feast with a large piece of Tiramisu... it was moist and not too sweet! We were so full that we took an entire pizza home - one quarter from me, one quarter from Marlina, and half of David's pizza! It made a wonderful breakfast the next morning!

1/2 Margherita 1/2 Pepperoni -- solid 4 stars.

Was looking for a slice, opened up Yelp, gave this spot by the Theater District a chance. Service was great, the food was solid, the ambiance on the casual side, and the restaurant definitely got quite busy. Caesar Salad -- 3 1/2 Stars. Very cheesy and coated in thick dressing, if that's your thing. Margherita Pizza - 4 1/2 stars. Tasty, light, delicious! Pepperoni Pizza - 4 stars. A solid pizza, light thin crust that I really liked.

Sangria
Alli B.

We loved this place! We came after seeing a show and the pizza was delciousssss. We ordered a Marguerite pizza and then got a side of hot honey and a side of Caesar dressing to dip. Absolutely amazing. The house made sangria was fantastic. Tiramisu was good too. The restaurant is so cute and the service was amazing.

#5. Capizzi's Eggplant Parmigiana Combination Pizza (in the back)
Kayla P.

New York has so many great Italian options, so I was very excited to try this restaurant. Upon entering the establishment, I was very pleased with the ambience of the restaurant, which was decorated in a very charming, quaint style that reminded me of Italy. There were vines hanging on the ceiling and lots of vintage memorabilia on the walls which were a fun conversation starter at our table. The restaurant is very small inside. We ordered several pizzas, though I mainly had the eggplant one. It was ok, and the crust was beautifully cooked and charred. However, I'm rating Capizzi 3 stars because my friend ordered a gluten-free pizza because she is legitimately gluten-free. The waitress assured us that this was an option provided at this restaurant. When the pizza came out, my friend was pleasantly surprised because the crust looked too good to be gluten-free. And she almost ate it, but her skepticism made us double-check with the staff again. And unfortunately, the crust was not gluten-free. There was a mixup, which they promptly fixed. I appreciate how the issue was handled, it's just that this could've been a compromising situation for my friend. Overall, the food was okay, though the vibes were very fun. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to revisit this place, but it's a solid choice if you're in the area.

Prosciutto Funghi
Aude L.

I've walked past this spot so many times on my way to work and just noticed it for the first time tonight. We showed up right around 5:15, and we were surprised to see the place was already packed, but we were able to get a spot after a 20 minute wait. The pizza is pretty solid and they have a great salad selection. I also appreciated their very generous wine pours. But the best part about the place is the atmosphere and decor on the inside. I'd hang out here all day with some friends and a bottle of wine if they'd let me!

Beautiful decor
Philip Z.

Fifth time here in the last three months. Place is as good as the first time. Excellent, warm service and delicious pizza. Very warm, comfortable surroundings. Really enjoyable place to eat.

Greg M.

Fast friendly service, excellent pizza. Traditional wood fired pizza. Ordered the Neapolitan Classic #1 with pepperoni, mushrooms and onions. Not sure what varietal of shrooms those were, but they were very good!

#5. Capizzi's Eggplant Parmigiana Combination Pizza
Daniel B.

Stopped in for dinner before a show and would definitely come back. Really cozy decor inside, and my one caution would be that it was VERY hot inside on this winter evening. We started with the pane and olio, which was good but not worth the $10, so I'd recommend avoiding that. We split margherita and eggplant parm pizzas and really enjoyed those. The Margherita was a little undercooked and the dough was very chewy, but the crisp on the eggplant parm pizza was perfect and absolutely delicious! For dessert, we split the Oreo truffle cannoli which was great. I'll give benefit of the doubt that the pizza is more often cooked like the eggplant parm and not the chewy margherita and rate 5 stars since that is definitely the potential of this place!

Pizza Margherita with sausage #2. Capizzi's Sausage, Sweet Roasted Peppers and Onions Combination Pizza
Christopher T.

Cool, old school coal fired pizza joint. The menu is small, but still covers a lot of options - salad, pizza, wine, etc... The place is small so be prepared to wait a bit. We waited about 20 minutes. They updated us several times on how long the wait would be. Once seated we opted for an artichoke salad, a sausage and onion pizza plus a spinach special pizza. Everything was delicious and the service was great as well.

Pizzas
Najwa G.

Capizzi does have some solid pizza but honestly I feel like they've gone down in quality since the last time I've gone years ago. My family and I ordered the hot honey chicken, margherita, spinach white, and eggplant pies. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing stood out either. The hot honey chicken pizza I've had at other places and really enjoyed it but it completely fell flat at Capizzi- I firmly believe this pie needs it's red sauce. The eggplant pie was quite watery. The margherita and spinach pies were good but again, nothing to write home about. I will not be returning unless I'm in this area as there is no dearth of great pizzerias in NYC.

See No Evil Pizza

I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

Tucked away in the most unexpected spot, See No Evil is truly one of those rare hidden gems you…read morealmost don't want to tell people about, but absolutely should. It is located right in the hallway of a subway entrance, next to a bar and across from a coffee shop, and it somehow manages to feel like a cozy, sit-down restaurant right in the middle of NYC. Don't let the odd location fool you, the food here is outstanding. The Neapolitan and Sicilian-style pizzas are both exceptional, with rich, well-balanced flavors and perfectly executed crusts. Every bite tastes high quality. Also, don't skip the house-made lemonade! The experience is even better because of the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They were all so kind to so many people. From offering to keep leftovers in the fridge until a customer was done at their broadway show, to offering a scone to a young child while he and his father waited for their pizza to be done, it was more than just flipping a table and onto the next tip, it was humanity at its best. Be sure to give See No Evil Pizza a try. You certainly will want to come back again for more.
