Brussel Sprouts and pancetta pizza!
Nadine F.

It makes me sad to see so many "meh" reviews of this place. This place was soooo good. First, they were super accommodating. The restaurant is small. I emailed them the night before asking if they could accommodate our party of 10. The next morning they confirmed and had it all ready for us that evening. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The pizza was not your traditional pizza. My younger two kids loved the cheese pizza. My oldest got the meatball pizza and really enjoyed it. The mushroom pizza was very good as well. But my favorite was the Brussel Sprouts pizza with pancetta! It was DELICIOUS! I loved the cozy feel of the place. It was perfect on a cold winter day to enjoy a meal with family/friends and a glass of wine. I will definitely be back - and will tell everyone I know!

This is a cute pizza place, semi casual and totally fits the vibe of a NYC sit down pizza spot. The pizza was excellent, fresh sauce and perfect crust. The sauce was well seasoned but not overpowering. The crush was the right amount of crispy. They had a lot of different pizza options and were more than willing to do customizations. Service: Service was slow as it seemed like there were only 1-2 people on the floor. It took them about 15 minutes to bring my drink and this place is small, has no more than 15 small tables. Price: Priced like a typical NYC sit down spot. Insta: @TheShahLALand

After a visit to Central Park, we stopped by this restaurant because of its convenient location nearby. The pizza was just okay. nothing to write home about, but not terrible either. On the other hand, the wings had a decent flavor and were a bit more enjoyable. The staff was neutral. They were not overly friendly, but not rude either. One of the standout aspects of this spot is the atmosphere. The seating, especially the outdoor dining area, is quite pleasant, making it a nice option if you're looking to relax outside after spending time in the park. Overall, it's an average experience, with the location and ambiance being the main highlights.

The positions here are so big which meant my friend and I could share a salad, pizza, and tiramisu. Pizza is their thing and it's always great. The salad was filling and delicious. Peroni is my favourite beer which they carry too. Yum! Will be back!

Decent oven fired pizza but the crust to sauce to cheese ratio needs improvement. The crust was delicious, crunchy but chewy, however that was the only good part.

More good pizza at Motorino! Tried the soppressata picante and pugliese. Watch out for the chilies on the pugliese though! We were seated rather quickly on a Friday night at an outdoor table. It was less crowded inside even though it was rather chilly out. Service was a little slow once we were seated. Our waiter eventually came and took our order and that was the only time we saw him. Lovely we really liked the pizza

My husband and I came here for a date night on Saturday and LOVED it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is quaint and cute. It felt very intimate. We ordered the roasted artichoke and a pizza. Be warned the chiles in the Amatriciana pizza mean business! I love spicy things and those chilis brought tears to my eyes haha Will be coming back. I loved my experience and my food.

Motorino is honestly my favorite pizzeria. Their weekday lunch special $17.5 for any pie and house salad is amazing especially nowadays. The buy 2 get 1 free takeout deal is great if you don't mind not eating immediately. This place isn't perfect but I'm still happy with my experience there. Just went on Tuesday and grabbed the last table at 1pm. The house salad is so big for a lunch side. There's plenty of places that only give you half. Their purple onions are particularly sweet too. I'm usually against raw onions. Pies we ordered: don dom, meatball, cherrystone clams Overall the pies had a bit of burnt bottom while insides underdone. We think it's the oven not getting cleaned in time over the holidays and they're rushing to complete orders during lunch. Tolerable. This was the first time I tried the cherrystone clams. I think it's good to eat at the restaurant and less suitable for takeout. It's a bit fishy but I kind of like it. Squeezing fresh lemon brightens and sweetens up everything. It's very water when it comes out but it eventually soaks up a bit. Besides, it's juicy to me. I did notice they give clams diced up rather than whole. I don't mind it for the bite purpose but would be more impressed seeing it whole. Also I sat right next to the kitchen which made all my clothes smell like pizza afterwards. Not ideal but okay ish considering it went away after a few days. You also see all the wood they use for the oven.

I was disappointed especially after having a good experience at their other location. This location is tiny inside. It's like you're dining with strangers at your table. The pizza was disappointing with soggy crusts and toppings that could have covered more of the crust.

Delicious pizza!!! Just a couple vegan options but they are AMAZING. Such good crust and tomato sauce!

Cremini Mushroom

My pizza preference is a crispy crust. I need it, y'all. BUT. My friend's pizza preference happens to be a chewy crust. If you're like my friend, you will probably like Motorino. The buy 2 get a 3rd pizza free for delivery/takeout is kind of unbeatable, honestly. It was pretty much only the two of us eating, and we were full after 4 slices each, but these keep super well so you can reheat them and eat them again a different time. I really don't have much to say that was wrong about the flavors of the pizzas themselves-- they tasted fresh and like they were made with good ingredients. My favorite was probably the brussels sprouts pizza-- the brussels sprouts had a sweetness to them and the ham added the saltiness. My friend stands by the mushroom pizza. She gets it every single time. I personally thought that the mushrooms were good, but there's a weird saltiness that comes with certain bites. I never knew when to expect it so it was just like a salt jumpscare. As I was saying, though, I need a crispy crust. That bottom should be CRUNCHY. Biting into these slices was like chowing down on an entire mouthful of dough that was absolutely way too soft for my taste. I'm not sure how it was like this because the crust did show some areas of being burnt.... but it was just not crispy how I like my pizza. Chewy crust might be your preference, though! In which case, go crazy. The world is your oyster and in it you'll find Motorino.

Nice location in the upper west side...came here to take out pizza after the movies...glad they were still open. Thin crust pizza that is ready in about 10-15 minutes... had the margherita pizza. They only sell by the pie - small is 4 slices and good enough to share for 2 people. They don't sell pizza by the slice. Buy 2 pies and your 3rd is free. Have to try some of the other pies next time in the area. they have outdoor seating as well since the pandemic...but not the greatest place to sit during a downpour even with the covering..

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.
