    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Salsiccia e Cipolla
    Vicky R.

    This place exceeded expectations. It was small but very cutely decorated with all the tomato tin cans holding the cutlery and napkins. The food was absolutely amazing too. We got the Salsiccia e Cipolla pizza which was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The sauce and toppings were so flavorful and went well together. The caprese salad was also so fresh tasting and balanced the savory pizza out. Overall a great place and cannot wait to be back

    Our mozzarella does not contain animal rennet but the majority of our pizzas have a touch of pecorino cheese on them, and our pecorino does contain animal rennet. If you’re looking for a fully vegetarian meal, you can choose to order your pizza…

This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.
