This is a nice pizza spot. I got the veggie slice for $6 but it was worth it. The pizza is thick and flavorful. They do have a section to sit down and a nice dine in area. They do have a B rating. Overall this place is good for pizza but not the first place I'd for the price. read more

We were heading out to Coney Island and wanted to grab something on the way since it'll be a long trip on the subway. Since we were next to Grand Station Stadium, I didn't realize there's a food hall there. We scouted the area and there were many choices. My friend wanted pizza and caesar salad. I didn't mind so we found Prova Pizzabar. We were able to see our choices and once we made up our mind. Our slices of pizza were put in the oven. Our caesar salad took longer cause they made it fresh. Mine had too much croutons but the flavors were on point. Very full and although felt paid a little too much for the meal. It was delicious and fulfilling. 169/2019 read more

Changed the tip for my 16 year old son's purchase. That's not cool. The pizza was good but very expensive.

I found Prova by accident. I was meeting a friend for an economical lunch in GST and we wandered over to the "pizza place". I noticed a small sign that said "full service dining" and I figured it would be nicer than hunting for an available table in the food court. We both had chicken parm stambolies.....large enuf to take half home! The price, considering the location, was very good and the meal was delicious. Service was quick....and there was plenty of available seating. I went back with my husband this week (we were in the neighborhood) and he thought it was "a gem in the middle of chaos). Highly recommend! read more

It's been a month since my review and i KNOW the owners read their reviews. Why is the man STILL yelling?! It is VERY annoying and does not make me want to buy a slice. Please stop immediately. read more

Seriously good pizza. The classic plain slice has an amazing sauce. The square pepperoni slice is pure magic with its crispy crust and tasty pepperoni. Service is fast and friendly. Inside has a full bar with great bartenders. read more

After traveling cross-country and arriving at our hotel we were hungry and looking for something close by to eat. There weren't a ton of options open in Grand Central Station and being that We love pizza, it was a simple choice for us to try Prova. Overall the pizza was OK but it was not New York pizza (I grew up eating Pizza in NY my whole life). We ordered pepperoni pizza and the Quattro Formaggio. The slices we ordered were square so they looked kind of like Sicilian but they were thinner like a regular slice of New York pizza. read more

The pizza here is so flavorful. I was surprised as I wasn't expecting much. I really regret not taking more slices to go, but seeing as I had to get on the subway, I thought better of it. My friend and I sat at the bar and had it with a couple of glasses of wine. read more

This is not my kind of pizza! Thick crust, greasy, messy and cold. I needed a whole roll of paper towels to finish my dish. The grease really overpowered the flavor. The only thing I enjoyed was the ricotta cheese on top (cold and all)! read more

Every time I happen to be at Grand Central Terminal, I grab a slice of their pizza. It's Square, it's good, its delicious. If you want to sit down and order a large pie, they have a little restaurant there too. Their restaurant is ok, servers were very friendly. I prefer just to buy the slice and find a table somewhere else. Pizza is always fresh there. I've had their garlic knots with cheese and their caprese salad too (cherry tomatoes for life). Prices are a little high, $4.90 for a slice of cheese pizza, but I think the slice is big, and the pizza is top quality. It looks small but when you eat, you realize it's big. The pizza dough/crush is very good, crispy, chewy, crunchy at the same time. They offer different types of toppings. Good place. read more

This place should be avoided unless you are late for a train, already in grand central, and desperate for pizza. Even then you should think about getting a frozen pizza at the drug store and heating it up with a lighter. First, the positives: I ate two slices and did not get sick (yet). Now, the negatives: literally everything else. I ordered a regular slice and a white pizza slice. I received a pepperoni and a mushroom. When I raised the issue I was informed that the mistake was mine -- I had actually had ordered the the wrong pizza (huh?). When I finally got the right pizza I was met with two doughy cannon balls of greasy, gross pizza. Oh, and two pizza slices somehow cost almost $14. read more

The four cheese pizza slice is amazing. Absolutely tasty. Only problem i have is the 7.65 price but this is a very tourist filled area so i excuse the price point. read more

Prova Pizzabar is Sicilian style, square bready slices of tomato and cheese. The pizza is okay, with a decent red sauce and interesting cheese blend. Each slice is about 6x6 inches and about $6 each with toppings. I ordered an eggplant and mixed mushroom slice. Both were just okay. Considering the location, prices are fair. Service was basic and bored, clearly just hoping to leave for the day. None of the slices on display are labeled so you have to ask and its a pain. read more

$6 for a slice that has no taste at all. It's a greasy heavy slice that I regret. I would rate $1 pizza higher.

Updating my previous negative review because I tried Prova again, post-pandemic. I had the funghi (mushroom) slice and it was excellent. Really top tier. Congratulations Prova on really upping your game! read more

So, ignoring the first review below, here's my take as a Canadian who just got back from a trip to Naples and Rome, then went on a tour of New York pizza: This isn't NY pizza. It's not Napoli style either. This is something unique and different. The pizza, at first glance, looks way too thick. But it's all air. Their placemat explains they proof the dough ("prova" = proof in Italian) for a really long time, so despite the thickness, the crust is crispy and light, not heavy and dense as you might expect. I am very much a fan. We tried their Diavola pizza. Six large slices, spicy with delicious soprasatta. The crust is delicious and flavorful. Appetizer meatballs were similarly delicious and light. One star off for not allowing slices in the restaurant despite being on the menu (we had to ask for permission to try a slice of a different pizza since we were already ordering a whole pizza). Otherwise, for a new place, everything else was excellent. I hope they hang around, I'll visit when I'm next in town! read more

Considering the location, I'm quite impressed with the prices and the quality of the pizza. Loved how you don't have to wait a long time in line to get pizza. I ordered a margarita pizza for myself and a cheese pizza for my son. It was a decent taste for pizza read more

The pizza here is great! I got a NY style cheese pizza for $26 and it could feed 4 people at least.

First time visiting New York and found this pizza place on the One Bite review list. The employees were friendly and the service was fast. However, not a great piece of pizza. Hardly any sauce and very greasy. The crust was so good. It is what saved the pizza, in my opinion. read more

The pizza here looks good but don't let looks fool you. It tastes worse than frozen grocery store pizza, and the crust is as hard as a brick. The flavors don't go that well together, and it almost has a plastic-like after taste. I ordered 2 different flavors, and they're both mediocre. But the worst thing about this place is that I found a piece of rubber in it. Health hazard in the form of a pizza shop. Don't go and save yourself the trauma. read more

Found it by accident, buried in the corner of the food concourse. Place was empty but the pizza rustica was great. Nice bar inside with games on the TV. Best thing was the service. Your waitress, originally from Rockaway but now a Brooklyn girl, was the best and super friendly. As was her Detroit co-worker Didn't think this place would work but it was above and beyond what expected. They didn't even mind my 8 year old, full of energy, son moving all around read more

Good, fresh, hot pizza. Generous portions, small was more than enough for each of us. A friendly welcome and a bit of chat from the serving staff. A box for the pizza we didn't manage to finish. Nice advice on choice of local brew. Prices not bad. A nice experience, thanks. read more

Wow! I was not expecting much from this place after reading the reviews but it was great! Yes, the service was not that great but the food made up for it. Our server looked like she might have been 14 at the most and from what I could see, she looked like the only person working other than the bartender. She took our order and we had to wait about 20-25 minutes for our food. It was worth the wait though! I had the lasagna with meatballs and it was probably the best lasagna I've had in a while! Perfect portions too! We stopped here for a quick lunch but ended up spending more than an hour here, so if you're in a hurry, just grab a slice of pizza from the pizza bar out front. read more

Prova Pizzabar you are simply fantastic, I had an incredible experience here yesterday. Can't talk highly enough about Prova Pizzabar. They have a lovely menu also. The staff are extremely attentive and friendly and they're great at giving recommendations. I certainly see myself returning here in the future. read more

I'll probably be in the minority, but considering how sad it can be to have to eat in the food court in the bottom floor of Grand Central, I actually think this place is spectacular. I went for the third time yesterday (I have only been to the quick service part, not the sit down restaurant part), and I maintain that the pizza is great. I got my favorite, the funghi, and also a slice of margherita. Slightly overpriced, but the slices are huge and filling (this was my lunch at 3pm, so I was pretty hungry). Surprised by the low reviews: is this the greatest pizza in the entire world? No, of course not - you're in the basement of Grand Central. But for what it is, I think it's excellent! read more

Only a staunch desire to not create havoc and mayhem on Metro North prevented me from up chucking my partially digested slice. And I mean partially digested. I should have known when saw the sheet of cheese coating the pizza that the quality was questionable. I should have refrained after the first bite into a crust that tasted as if it had been reheated so many times it would have made good show and tell for geology class. I should have tossed the slice away when I realized after reheating, that the strange cheese that was supposed to be mozzarella didn't melt! I should have Yelped Prova but had five minutes to catch a train. This pizza isn't a cross between Sicilian and focaccia. It's an indigestible hybrid that reminded me of bad school cafeteria microwaved pizza, layered with greasy cheese that backs up in your esophagus with all the force of Old Faithful and none of the splendour. There's a reason this place in the busy Grand Central food court had no wait. And I went right before lunchtime, so the pies should have been fresh. I feel bad writing such a terrible review since the servers were polite. But when the pizza is close to $5 and up a slice, and tastes horrendous, it's time for the owner to hire some real pizza chefs. read more

Ive gone back a few times since and it just isnt as good anymore. ITs just too heavy. And the margarita pizza is blah. With the Shake Shack appearing to now be closed now there are no choices for a quick and cheap option in GCT. read more

Absolutely horrible for pizza. But a damn fine commuter bar for a cocktail, with bartenders on top of their game for people on the go.

Every now and then I plunge in blindly without checking the Yelp ratings. In this case, that was a good thing. I took a seat at the bar and ordered up a glass of Primitivo. The barman quickly brought a glass of ice water and then the wine, which was in excellent condition. Two slices followed. Chicken piccata was the better choice. All too often, chicken topped slices in Manhattan are leathery and bland. While not authentically Sicilian, this was a moist, well seasoned not quite sfincione. A slice with funghi was less successful. The crust was fine and the shrooms were plentiful, but a bit more zing was needed. Maybe I should have gone with the Tartufata. Good food, good service. Overall, a pleasant experience which I intend to repeat. read more

The pizza is actually pretty good. It's a bit pricey at $7 a slice. We bought two slices and a fountain soda for about $20. When we went to sit down to eat in their large restaurant we were told we couldn't use their table to eat! They have a small crowded ledge where we were supposed to eat. I asked nicely if we could sit at a table. There was one table in use. We were in and out in 15 mins. They could have easily invited us to use the table since we did purchase food from them! The waitress was in incredibly rude. The manager was almost worse. Keep your tables and your pizza. Im never going back. I urge you to find a friendlier place. read more

Just reviewing the take-out pizza bar in the basement at Grand Central. I think the slices are really good. High quality ingredients and tasty crust. If you feel like spending $5-9 bucks for a slice, you will probably really enjoy it...if not, there is a good $1 slice shop less than a block away from GC. read more

Inside grand central lower level but don't waste your time coming here. Pizza is terrible. Burnt and has no flavor except for the flavor of burnt toast. Shake shack has a line around the corner down here and none of the other food vendors have more than 1 or 2 people in line if that tells you anything... it's quick so if you just need to fill that void in your tummy, then hold your nose and swallow. There is a restaurant area with sit down service so maybe somehow you may get better food there. read more

Had a pretty bad pepperoni slice from here. First of all, it was cold. Second of all, it was like $7 bucks. Ate about half and tossed it. Maybe they put out a good fresh pie but they have there heads up their asses if they think they are serving decent slices. Robbing tourists all day long is what they're doing. read more
