    Garlic Knots
    Megan R.

    This might not be the best pizza you'll ever have, and the service is kind of meh - but they've got seating! And that alone is enough to recommend them over other Grand Central offerings when you've been traveling and need a break. The food is a bit greasy, so don't overdo it or you may regret it later...but have a small snack and a large drink and enjoy being off your feet and/or the train!

    Spinach Stromboli and Garlic Knots
    Courtney A.

    Visited Provo Pizzeria inside Grand Central Station. The service was fairly quick, and I ordered the spinach stromboli along with garlic knots. The garlic knots were delicious and satisfying. The spinach stromboli, however, had an odd flavor I just couldn't get past. I only made it through about a quarter before tossing the rest, unfortunately. One thing I didn't love: after I picked up my order, the cashier insisted she hadn't rung me up for the garlic knots--even though she had, and only then "remembered." I didn't appreciate how adamant she was at first. That said, I would still recommend giving them a try for the garlic knots alone. They really are great.

    Passing through Grand Central, I've always noticed Prova tucked in the corner, and this time I finally stopped in after work for a drink. It wasn't busy, so we grabbed seats at the bar. I ordered a Manhattan and it was definitely on the stronger side. Shout out to Alfredo! I went with the garlic knots with mozzarella. It was really good but the dough was slightly undercooked, which was a little disappointing. :(

    SUPPOSED to be chicken Alfredo...

    The mozzarella garlic knots were good and my pinot Grigio but the chicken Alfredo was disappointing . I was disgusted by the smell, and the chicken looked off but still tried to take a mouthful. Bad idea!

    Prova, located in the dining concourse of Grand Central is a great option if you're passing through and looking for a quick bit. My current favorite is their Hawaiian, but I've had almost everything on their menu over the years. If you have time there's a bar area where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Overall, it's one of my favorite places there, and I'm sure that you will like it as well.

    Buffalo chicken
    Rishi P.

    Needed a quick lunch spot in grand central, it's all the way to the bottom and it hit the spot. All the pizza was laid out and reheated, some don't like that but it gave it the crispy taste which I like. Large sizes and Detroit with ny style. I had the buffalo chicken which was great with a good amount of cheese. It was ready quick after a 60 second reheat.

    Penne with chicken
    Sandra R.

    Stopped in after work with a colleague since I've been here before for a bite. Tried the penne with chicken. It was quite tasty and very well portioned. Surprised I was actually able to finish it all. The pricing was very reasonable for the amount of food and the server was very attentive. I enjoyed the set up and the seating we had. Everything was somewhat spaced out, so you were able to have your privacy although it was not a large establishment.

    I'm not a pizza fan?!? Diabolical I know, esp in the east coast. But my kids and I do love this spot when traveling. Good flavor, great cheese pulls, and nice crispy outside soft inside. We never had pizza this good coming from the west coast! We've tried other nyc pizza at famous spots and found others crusts bland or dry. We enjoy this spot and will come back!

    Grand Central

    So we brought the kids to Grand Central and decided to grab a bite to eat. Going downstairs is where the food court was. We walked back to back corner where the counter to order was. We got a few slices and were able to sit at a high table in the restaurant reserved for to orders to eat. The pizza was very good and the whole family was happy with the meal.

    a can of peach margarita
    Gatangalie S.

    Actually I was super hungry after work one evening and decided to go to the food court in the basement in grand central. Thought I would grab a chicken roll and a peach margarita at Prova Pizzabar. It's a really chilled pizza takeout place. Lots of pizza with delicious toppings. And let me tell you my chicken roll was cheesy and packed with delicious slices of chicken. They were really quick with getting my order together and ensure it was heated up in the oven to perfection. Overall great atmosphere to enjoy a quick takeout if you are a pizza kinda person.

    Humairaa A.

    They warm up the slices quick. Our pizza slices had a balanced amount of sauce and cheese. We tried spinach and mushroom as well as regular cheese. Quick lunch. Cost effective. In grand central.

    If you are in the Grand Central Station Area and looking for a quick, delicious food. A Grab and Go. Fast service, you see it, you ask for it, pay and go!! (Ambience) You can always entertain yourself looking around looking at the pedestrian traffic as folks are walking fast to their respective train stations.

They sat us upstairs along the balcony overlooking the main dining room, and the decor... honestly, just look at the photo because I don't even know how to describe it The space used to be a church, and it is SO cool inside. Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

The wait was worth it though because they know how to do pizza. The crust just crisp enough, the sauce flavorful, and the toppings plentiful. The service was friendly and quick given the number of people there. For my first trip to NYC, I'd make this a traditional stop for future visits.

    I can't stop thinking about their pizza…read more.. Yesterday was my first time dining at See No Evil Pizza, but I'd tried it before. Last year, I was at Nothing Really Matters, the bar next door, with a group of friends. Someone ordered pizza, and I had no idea where it came from. I just remember thinking, "Wow, this pizza is really good." That memory stuck with me, so when a friend and I decided to stop by See No Evil Pizza yesterday, I was excited to finally visit. I didn't realize reservations were recommended, but thankfully Ariel, the host, was able to fit us in. Ariel was fantastic - he was friendly, welcoming, and so accommodating despite us showing up without a reservation. Ariel provided excellent service from the moment we walked in until we left. I didn't take any photos, which I now regret, because their pepperoni pizza was salty, addictive, and just really, really good. The pepperoni was crisp, the crust had that perfect char and crunch, and I couldn't stop reaching for another slice. The restaurant is small, cozy, and inviting. If you've been thinking about checking this place out, go for it. You won't regret it.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat. Aside from that, though, I thought the flavors were great - the sogginess just distracted from it. Overall such a fun place to go!

It is such a cute place that deeply honors its heritage and ancestry, and their understanding of celiac disease immediately put us at ease. They explicitly let us know they use a dedicated oven and explained what pizzas can be made gluten free. They also have a dedicated fryer for all their gluten-free items, which is a massive relief for anyone with strict dietary needs. To drink, I ordered an Aperol Spritz, though you will want to double-check with the staff since a few of their other cocktails are not gluten-free. We kicked off our meal with the gluten-free arancini and a gluten-free Margherita pizza, and the pizza was genuinely delicious. They even offer gluten-free desserts, so we naturally went all-in on the fried dough with Nutella to finish things off. Aside from the incredible food safety and quality, the service and staff were fantastic. They were constantly attentive, clearing empty plates and bringing new ones throughout the meal. If you are looking for a safe and amazing gluten-free dining experience, this spot is an absolute gem!

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous. The bits of bacon, combined with the spiciness of the pepper spices, made this a perfect starter. The entree was also shared and it was the Spicoli 2.0 Pizza. I cannot recommend this pie, enough. You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
