Innovative Pizza Spot Opens in Times Square Subway Station
A Unique Concept in the Heart of Manhattan
In possibly the most New York City thing to ever happen, a new restaurant is serving up New York-style pizza in the subway. Right down the stairs on the 50th St. 1 train subway station, you’ll find See No Evil Pizza, just a stone’s throw from Times Square and the Theater District.
The Concept and Menu
Prior to taking over the space, See No Evil Pizza was a (since closed) Dunkin Donuts, Tiny Dancer was a bodega and Nothing Really Matters was storage for a Duane Reade. After three years of running Nothing Really Matters, Gallo felt it was time to help make the space that is now See No Evil into something great for the city. "This was a very derelict subway station. There wasn’t a lot going on. All the businesses that closed during COVID," said Gallo. "I was constantly staring at these two spaces with the gates down with graffiti everywhere and I thought, what else could I do to bring kind of a unique food and beverage destination to New York City and kind of add to the neighborhood?"
The menu at See No Evil Pizza is mostly gluten-free, with every pizza made from a unique flour blend with the option to be gluten-free as well. Beyond the traditional Margherita and pepperoni pies, here are a handful of staples on the menu, including the Hell Pie, Funghi, and Ottobagatto.
Beyond Pizza
Beyond the pizza, See No Evil Pizza offers classic options such as a Caesar salad, arancini, and whipped ricotta, but also options such as Chef Ed’s Croquette, Uovo Diavolo, Hot Mayo, and Evil Chicken Wings.
The Future
Gallo hopes that See No Evil continues to become a favorite among New Yorkers, encouraging them to try something new every time they come. "We really just want this to grow into something that people look forward to, either coming up from downtown, coming down from uptown, or just coming in from wherever you are in the world and being like, Oh my God, I read about this place, I heard about this place. I have to try it,’" said Gallo. "Then we want you to come back because it is that good. I guarantee it’s that good. We are the best pizza place in Midtown, hands down."
Conclusion
See No Evil Pizza is a unique and innovative concept that is sure to attract pizza lovers from all over the city. With its mostly gluten-free menu, unique flour blend, and creative options, it’s a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a new pizza experience.
