One of the many artisnal pizza places that have popped up. The slice isn't bad. On a Portnoy scale 7.8

Ebony M.

Fermento's Pizza is outstanding! The crust is perfectly fermented (3 days to be exact) to give the crust a unique light, airy, and crisp with incredible flavor in every bite. It also does leave you feeling stomach feeling bloated. Really high quality crust. They also have a very high quality tasting gluten free crust. You can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients, from the rich, balanced tomato sauce to the fresh toppings. The attention to detail really sets this place apart. Everything feels thoughtfully made and authentically crafted. Ask for Hector who is absolutely the best, and welcoming, the vibe is relaxed and inviting! Perfect for grabbing a slice or sitting down to enjoy a full pie. If you're in the neighborhood, Fermento's is definitely worth a visit. Easily one of the best pizza spots around the West Village area at 226 Varick near the corner of Clarkson, across from Shake Shack .

Fermento Pizza's reasonably priced, outstanding Vodka Upside Down (left) and NYC (right) slices

Wow! Walking around downtown and not expecting to discover such a fantastic 5-star pizzeria! Fermento makes amazing, memorable, reasonably priced slices!!! A bit hungry when I walked into this really small space, so decided to try a slice of their basic NYC slice and Vodka Upside Down. Paid in cash and noticed when that the prices for each slice were oddly and without explanation, slightly higher than posted even after tax, amounting to 30 cents, but thought it petty to question. Regardless, after receiving my beautiful slices, it really didn't matter. Both slices were topped with fresh basil, fresh grated cheese, and olive oil light drizzle plus perfect crusts (from my understanding using long-fermented dough, hence the name) - the flavor of each was unequivocally outstanding! As I finished, the young guy behind the counter walked out and asked how it was. Needless to say, I really look forward and may even go out of my way to grab more, delicious Fermento slices. I wish them well-deserved success, although not those lines of obnoxious, IG/Tiktok obsessed, FOMO tourists that dissuade us locals and kills the pleasure of being your customer!

Excellent new spot (opened Nov end 2025) in West Village! There are many pizza spots around here (ie: joes pizza, johns of bleekers, prince street, artichokes, made in New York, etc), but i am glad this one opened as it provides great flavor for great value!!! $3.75 reg slice $4.50 roni slice **Credit card vs cash payment is about 4% difference** Same owners as Ninos Beach in Port Washington! Great sourdough style pizza. Undercarriage is great along with its crust. Not too cheesy like neighborhood pizza (not that that its a bad thing either!). Bread to cheese ratio is great. VALUE AND FLAVOR ARE THERE! this is a must try and come back situation! :)

Sourdough crust pizzas are all the rage. The lines at l'industrie wrap around the block, so it was inevitable that similar spots popped up. This is one of them. No lines and very similar flavor. We tried a roni slice and a cheese slice. It's definitely a sourdough crust. The slices are good, a tab salty. A good alternative you want your pizza with more flavor than Joe's

Crispy crust great flavor( 72 hour fermentation time). Excellent sauce not too salty not too sweet. Excellent acidity. Definitely great price and the toppings slices as well are not overpriced!! Very friendly staff and very informative about the ingredients. Also has knowledge about business in general. Obviously he cares about the place he works at No seats but you can stand and eat a slice. Establishment is very bright and very clean. Put this on the Pizza NYC map.

Came back for other options and wasn't disappointed! The broken burratta might be my favorite so far. Take a lactaid before and after if you're lactose. The truffle pizza was good but a bit salty but not bad at all. Try for yourself.

An excellent pizza experience! We stopped here on our way to Joe's and John's and this place is a MUST stop and have a slice. The crust was crisp, cheese was sharp, and a little drizzle of olive oil put it over the top. Run by people you can tell really care about their product... you don't want to miss this one. We will be back for sure!

Amazing new slice shop in the East Village. Thin, crispy and flavorful, like a good slice should be. Very unique options too. For the quality, very good pricing. My new go to!

Trash Central pizza here at Fermento on December 17, 2025.

What utter trash this thin pizza without oregano, hot flakes and parmesan cheese! I took two bites of this trash and tossed it into the garbage. The place itself is without chairs or small tables. On a scale of one through ten I would rate it a 2.

The menu

First visit and very impressed! A delicious perfectly baked and balanced slice of pizza. I had their classic New York Slice, and this might be just my new go to place for a quick bite. I live nearby and will definitely be back!

Outstanding pizza. A slice shop on par with the West Village's best, minus the crowds.

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.
