    The pizza here is so good! It's fresh wood fired pizza and their menu has great options. We came on a Friday for lunch and it was fairly empty so we were able to grab a table easily. We got the margherita and tartufo e porcini pizzas. We ordered at the front and our food was brought out to us. Both pizzas were delicious. The margherita was a classic and tasted exactly how it should. The mushroom pizza was good as well and had a good amount of mushroom toppings. Overall we loved it and we'll definitely be back!

    This is a really nice and casual pizza spot. We set outside. The service was quick and friendly. We had tow pizzas and a salad. Everything was freshly made. They also have a small but really nice wine list.

    Really laid back cute spot for a quick snack, but that snack is delicious, doughy, Neapolitan style pizza. Very casual. Great service. Also, the ceiling is gorgeous. Would recommend if you're in the area and want to relax for a bit in a non rushed but also non pub style place.

    This was my first time visiting Simo and I must say that I was impressed. I ordered the Carnivora Pizza and a glass of Prosecco wine. The pizza was delicious and the wine was much needed after a long day. The waiters were friendly and provided excellent customer service. They played nice music and it was pretty quiet for a Tuesday afternoon. I really enjoyed my meal and the crust on the pizza was very soft. I will definitely be back to try other pizza options on the menu. I had a great experience here.

    Good chewy pizza. The dough is resilient. I had the tartufo well done. Enjoyable n I'll be back to try a different pie

    Talk about a good deal! Super friendly and clean restaurant. Not much seating inside but decent amount of space outside Pizza came quick and well made, and for the price, you really can't complain. It tasted like a classic brilliant pizza and Large portions too!

    Having been to Naples this past fall, I was skeptical that this pizza would taste as fresh and light as they are in Italy. This was the best Neapolitan style pizza I have had in New York City. The caprese salad with burrata was fresh and delicious. The tomato was flavorful with the perfect amount of olive oil and ridiculously creamy burrata. The ingredients were delicious and the pizza was served very quickly and piping hot. The restaurant was quaint and clean with staff that was friendly and knew the menu.

    Big fan of Naples style pizza here. It isn't like NY style pizza with the crusty bottom; it's light, slightly chewy and airy with classic caramelized to charred bulbous thingese. I've been trying to find a place that can deliver what I experienced in Naples, but I'll have to keep searching. Simo has given a good effort, but I think they could go with a sweeter sauce and a lighter airier crust. However the ambiance is lovely and service excellent. Give'm a try and see if Naples style pizza is of your liking.

    Loved the food! The service was extremely fast. We were literally setting ourselves up at our tables after we took our orders and it was brought out real quick. We ordered from a kiosk stand and then sat at a table. It was a bit empty but I saw the another table when it got a bit more crowded. They had their order come out quick as well. Even though the service was fast, the pizza did not taste as if it was microwaved or not cooked properly because you'd think it was since it came out fast. It tasted fresh and of high quality! The servers were very kind and helpful. The ambiance, let's just say the music got me doing my dancey dance in my chair (even though it was in Italian and I didn't understand a word) I would most definitely recommend this place to all pizza lovers and everyone as well!

    This is a Margarita style pizza with their salami (pepperoni). It was so good!

    This was a good place to eat Napoli style pizza. It was delicious and the service was great!

    Decent pizza! The service was pretty quick and very very kind. I wasn't a big fan of the crust but overall it had good flavor and lots of toppings. The inside of this restaurant is super cute.

    I love Simo on Gansevoort St and came here not long after it opened when they were still ironing out a few kinks. Thoroughly enjoyed my recent revisit though! It's a similar format to the other branch. Here you order and pay at a touchscreen (which allows you to customize your pizza) and then your food and drinks are bought to you. There's a wider range of pizza here and they also have more salads. It's very well priced, swift service, the room and seating is pleasant and they have plenty of tables outside. I love the pizza here, thin crust, very authentic, reminds me of the ones I've eaten in Italy. I think I slightly prefer the original Simo but this one is conveniently located for me. It's a great option for a quick lunch that won't break the bank!

    This is now my go-to for Neapolitan pizza. Where else can you find a $12.5 pie in the NYC? Wouldn't say it's the best Neapolitan pizza I have ever had, but it's the best I tried in the city (Neapolitan). I love the ricotta cheese providing the creaminess. The dough is not as airy as I love, but for $12.5 I am willing to go for it. It's an easygoing place that can go for a casual lunch. I had a great time there with my starving college friend.

    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.
