See No Evil Pizza
Hell's Kitchen

There are just some places that are so New York they couldn't be found anywhere else. See No Evil Pizza is just that. It could be the location in a subway station, or it could be because they're doling out an iconic New York staple—pizza—but don't be fooled by the environs, as a treasure awaits inside. It's casual with a hint of punk, with 80s classics overhead and black-and-white checkered floors. Sit back and let the commuters fly by as you snack on small plates like toast with sardines or a seasonal bowl of beautiful beans in a walnut sauce before moving on to the pizza. There are always specials, but the Hell pie, a thin crust variety topped with spicy meat, is always good. Finish with vanilla soft serve with olive oil and sea salt.
