We visited SIMÒ Pizza for dinner on Jun 26, 2025 as part of the Road Scholar's "American Mosaic - An NYC Exploration" program. Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Upon entering the restaurant, we discovered that the entire place was reserved for us - it was a small establishment. Our party of 36 occupied all the tables. The manager juggled between serving drinks and maintaining smooth customer service. Among the staff was a Latino of probably Mexican heritage in charge of serving the food. I wished the manager had picked someone else for that. When he named the food out loud, the names were butchered by his thick accent. The unisex restroom was easy to get to but has only one stall. There were pizza already at the tables when we sat down. They didn't appear to be plain cheese - Son's exclusive choice - and were in New York thin crust. According to the manager, these were Margherita pizzas. So I went up to the cashier to order plain cheese pizza and drinks. While making my order, I noticed that the tab on the register showed $212 and rising with every order. Waiting for the plain cheese pizza was trying my patience. Following-up between Joe and the manager, I discovered that the Margherita pizza and plain cheese pizza were one and the same. That was news to me as the Margherita pizza I had elsewhere had toppings. This was confirmed when the pizza served was Margherita. Furthermore, Son had already eaten two slices of the pre-served Margherita so it wasn't an issue for him. But two thin-crust pizza pies with no toppings were not filling, so we ordered a salsiccia e cipolla. It was tasty but I felt that the pizza could use more (minced) sausage toppings. For drinks, Wife had limonata aka Sicilian lemon soda, Son had MoleCola classica aka Italian Coke, and I had an Aranciata di Sicilia, aka Sicilian blood orange soda. According to the ingredients listed on the bloody orange soda can, it contains black carrot juice. I had plain carrot juice when I was a child and didn't like it. When done right, carrot juice can taste good as demonstrated by the bloody orange soda. Wife noted that neither hers nor Son's drink had black carrot juice. A quick search on the Wal-Mart app revealed that they have stock on this brand of bloody orange soda. We are looking to purchase more. I don't recommend this place because the service was a bit of a hot mess and the serving portions felt light. Despite the pizzas being medium sizes, one person can consume an entire pie and still feel hungry. Adding tax and service charge to that, you're looking at a $20 tab on just the food alone. read more

I lovee their pizzas! They have the perfect thin pie and simple toppings for a italian pizza. The pizzas wasn't greasy at all and it was more on the light side. My favorite will be the prosciutto and arugula! read more

Had the Cacio de Pepe pizza and a chopped salad. Chopped salad had peppers- green,red and yellow. Also olives prosciutto and cheeses. Nice light dressing vinaigrette red wine. Pizza was nice combination of mozzarella, pecorino romano, evoo and basil. And of course- black pepper. Nice ambiance. It is located at the end of the High Line so a nice spot to start and end trip. Nice restrooms as well. read more

You heard a lot of things from people about this spot. Actually some of the co-workers had listed it pretty high up but I did not seem like a fan. Lindustrie was leagues better. I haven't tried Ruby Rosa but I heard that's also pretty close lindustrie. The bread was too soft and the toppings were lacking. read more

Simo was a great choice for Neapolitan pizza that was quick and delicious. It's conveniently located next to The Whitney, and has a couple of small outdoor tables on the elevated sidewalk, in addition to a clean, modern interior with a lot more seating. Ordering is at the counter, and they have a few drink options to choose from (including a couple of beers and canned wines). They bring your order out to your table once it's ready. The diavola was good -- nice flavor, and a great Neapolitan crust that came out well. One pizza was okay for two people as a small meal, but you might need one pizza per person if you're going to make this your lunch or dinner. For $16 per pizza (as of September 2024), this is a good deal in the area! read more

Simò has some solid pizza at reasonable prices- could do with a bit more mozzarella though but I'm a fan regardless. It is conveniently located right across from the Whitney so if you're looking for a (relatively) quick bite before heading to the museum, this would be your best bet. read more

I was at this fast casual Neapolitan pizza spot with one other having gone recently to the Whitney across the street which is likely where a lot of the people going here come from outside of the High Line. They also have a second newer location in the village near the NYU bookstore. This isn't traditional New York City pizza so I'm not exactly sure why people are looking for thinner crust or why it's a bit soggy by comparison or why the flavors don't bounce as much as New York/other style slices. You go here for reasonably priced Neapolitan pizza and not much else. We started with the Insalata Di Tonno which was $12.90 or something similar (might have been different when were there but definitely something similar/also I won't mention this for any other prices) which was the most expensive of the dishes surprisingly but it was very large. This consisted of tuna, mesclun greens, fresh tomato, red onion, egg, Castelvetrano olives, capers, and mustard vinaigrette. The tuna was on the blander end not really reminding me much of Italian style tuna but it went well enough with the remaining ingredients. Overall it was a very big dish but I wouldn't order it again. I went with the Acciughe E Olive Nere for $10.90 which had San Marzano tomato, mozzarella di bufala, anchovy, Gaeta olive, and like basically every other pizza here extra virgin olive oil/EVOO, and basil. The anchovy and olive mix of course made this a tad salty but it had a good tomato sauce base and the cheese was of good quality. The dough had a good chew and overall, it was solid. The portion size was good for the price and perfectly reasonable to fill you up but not overly so and the extra toppings don't really cost that much more compared to the plainer pizzas. The other person got the Margherita for $9.60 which basically consisted of all the ingredients I had minus the olive and anchovies. This was as with the other dish very reasonable if not even more so and it would make a pretty satisfying lunch or dinner. , While I preferred the Tres Gusti (and specifically the cacio e pepe or pesto e pecorino) from the other location, I still liked my pizza here. I would likely just go back to the caio e pepe next time if I was in the area and wanted some cheap pizza. Solid spot doing exactly what they say they're going to do and it's hard to argue with that. read more

This my go-to for a personal pizza and a drink before heading to the Whitney across the street. I've been here twice and I've been impressed by the attentive service and menu options. It's nice that you can see your pizza as it emerges from the oven. The result has that brick oven toasty chewiness that I prefer for my pizza. The atmosphere is communal tables and relatively bright lighting, so it's not date night material. It can't be beat for an affordable and fast pre-Whitney snack. read more

Food: 3/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4/5 This pizza joint right across the Whitney museum managed to satisfy my hunger but not much else. My group of 4 came over an hour before they close and were told that we had to sit outside in the stalls, which were nice, but it was quite cold and windy. We ordered the tre gusti, which comes with 3 different "flavors". The pizza came out within a couple of minutes, but I expected something larger and less wet / soggy. I appreciated the ability to try 3 flavors, but overall I was unimpressed. read more

Food: fresh Neapolitan style pizza - dough was chewy and soft. Diavolo had a good amount of salami which was satisfying. Pizza pie size portion likens to a personal pan size pizza - sharable or 1-person depending on how willing you are to sharing or how hungry you are; the cheese and sauce slide off the pizza in case you're not into the soft baked pizza situation and want more bite in your crust Service: friendly, more of self-service sit and eat, they bring your order to you when ready Ambiance: clean, simple, straight-forward; not a lot of seats read more

Very very good napolitano pizza. Individual 8" pizzas with great salad sides. The service was attentive and efficient. Simo pizza is located directly across the street from The Whitney. The inside matches for a grab n go or an eat and go place. I'd return whenever I'm at The Whitney read more

This is my favorite pizza place to stop by after a nice walk on The Highline. The pizza is very fresh and delicious. Pesto pizza is my favorite! The Insalta Mista is also really good. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the food is prepared quickly which is great. The staff is very friendly. The kids pizzas are shaped in either a bunny or heart shaped, which my kids always enjoy. They also like going for the peach iced teas. read more

Five stars all the way. I had their pesto pizza, which I came specifically to try after seeing some pretty appetizing photos on instagram! Well, it certainly lived up to my expectations. I also love their business model, focusing on providing excellent food at low prices. I think the pizza I had was only 11 dollars or so. I will definitely be back! Oh, and don't skip the cannoli for dessert! read more

The pizza here was only OK to me. The sauce was a bit watery but overall it was good for the price $13 for a personal pie. The service wasn't all that , I received my pizza not thoroughly cut and when I asked for it to be cut the woman looked at me like this is how it's supposed to be . Honestly I didn't feel like eating ripped pizza and I'm from Naples so I know the pizza is THIN! Anyway, I might come back and try the anchovy and olive pizza next time. P.s the ice tea was exceptional ! So delicious !!!! read more

Simo Pizza is simply excellent pizza using the highest quality ingredients. Every pizza is made to order at the fast casual pizzeria.

Very nice, quaint experience sitting out across from the Whitney in a very heated shed (you can turn the over head, heater off) Little picnic tables slightly separated, clean and great for people watching. Very fair pricing, perfectly sized individual pizza's served on a great big recyclable cardboard type plate..very smart design, with recycling bin right on the street as you leave your table. Pleseant service even when they were taking order after order and explaining the menu in great detail. I love mushrooms and ordered the Prosciutto y Funghi and picked off most of the meat, could have absolutely had more funghi though.. and there was an abundance of moisture in the entire center of the pie. The cheese was odd, didn't really melt and left a few clumps behind. I could have done without the cheese as well... I would love to see a veggie lovers pie with mushrooms, greens, onions etc The crust was excellent, I was already seated outside and was at a loss to go back up and find red pepper flakes, next time. The whole experience was perfect, especially if you are headed to the museum or the end of the Hi-Line read more

The Margherita pizza was delicious!!! The thin crust was nice and crispy yet soft and filling, the Marinara pizza was also extremely flavorful and just as good. The cannoli was also excellent.

First time at SIMO pizza and really enjoyed my experience. You pay inside for your food, receive a pepper shaker with a number, and then sit. The pizza was fresh with a thin, chewy crust. I would say one personal pie is enough per adult. The one with anchovies (acciughe e olive) was a bit on the salty side but very unique with a briny, umami flavor. My favorite one was the prosciutto and funghi. Currently they are only doing outdoor seating so there may be a wait if you come with a larger group (over 3 people). read more

I was disappointed upon trying the arugula and prosciutto pie, as I thought the pizza was pretty average. The crust was not perfectly cooked, which many other reviewers have stated, so maybe it was an off night. The salad was fresh though, and it was a pretty large portion. You order at the counter and the choose a seat from there. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Simo Pizza was okay. My husband and I were walking around the area and we saw that there were a list of people waiting to be seated so we figured that it should be okay. We were seated almost immediately but our table was dirty. They only had 1 waitress and she was stretched thin. I guess there were some people sitting inside and of course there were people outside. The waitress was everywhere. The food was hot but it honestly felt like something I have made. There really wasn't anything special about simo pizza.... I really wouldn't recommend Simo to anyone. I also wouldn't go out of my way to visit either. There are other places to get pizza in new york. Its just the truth. read more

Great value for money and perfect for lunch or early dinner when you have young children in your party. We stopped by here after a visit to Little Island which is a 9 minute walk away. All pizzas are personal size, Napoletana style and fairly priced. We got the cacio e pepe and prosciutto e rucala pizza, which we washed down with a Peroni. Their kids menu is adorable. They offer a tomato mozzarella pizza in a heart or bunny shape with a side of apple juice. They have covid style outdoor seating but their indoor space is big and nice too. These aren't the absolute best pizzas you'll have in New York but they are perfect for a quick meal. I recommend! read more

Can I say WOW? Where in the universe can you find an assortment of Neopolitan pies for an average of $10.00 in NY? I ordered the prosciutto and funghi pie and it was $10.70. The toppings were generously portioned and the wait time was under 10 minutes. You won't find exotic mushrooms and expensive imported prosciutto but for the price you are paying, does it even matter? The crust is airy, thin, and perfectly charred. Don't let the size of the pizza underwhelm you. I was completely full before the pie was done! Definitely a good find and at a fantastic value. read more

I stumbled on to this place when I was looking for a salad. I glanced over at a table of Europeans and saw the pizza looked just like it did when I traveled to Naples. I decided to skip the salad and get one for dinner. So glad I did because it was not only one of the best looking pizzas but the first bite literally took me to heaven. I'm a pizza snob so it's hard for me to order pizza I like my pizza light not heavy. Like the dough was just made. And the pizza is incredibly priced well. Why pay $24 for a pie when you can pay almost half and the taste is incredible. Cliff note: This might be the best pizza in NYC if you're looking for true Italian light pizza from Napoli. read more

After wandering around the High Line and Little Island, we were starving and found ourselves at Simo Pizza. I thought this was just a random hole-in-the-wall but the pizza is tasty, ready quickly and relatively inexpensive. The cost is about $11-12 per pizza with each pizza feeding 1-2 people (depending on how hungry you are); we had two pizzas for three people and it was the perfect amount. We ordered the margharita pizza and the proscuitto and arugula pizza of which I only had the proscuitto and arugula pizza....which was very tasty. There are 4-5 outdoor tables where you can sit and enjoy your pizzas but there isn't table service. You need to order inside, and they will bring the pizzas outside and call your name. read more

Great pizza spot! I ordered from UberEats as I was craving pizza and it was National Pizza Day!

This business doesn't pay attention to the details. F first time I ordered I noted in the delivery order no red onions. Pizza arrived with red onions Dash so annoying. I called them and spoke with the manager who said we didn't see that on the order form and next time call to confirm that you don't want onions. Well I decided to give them another try because the pizza is good. However they totally blew it again!! My pizza arrived with red onions even after I called and left a message on their machine. Obviously the manager does not care. Don't spend your money here read more
