    A great stop for a quick bite! Fun flavors! We tried corn and mushroom- both were good though I preferred the mushroom slice. I wished the corn pizza had some elote seasoning? or at least something to make it a bit more interesting... Still solid pizza though! Plentiful seating and quick service. They warm your slices up for you in the oven which made these slices particularly comforting especially given the rainy weather when we arrived. Overall, I would return!

    This spot recently popped up right across from the iconic Tom's Restaurant, the diner made famous by its appearance in the TV show Friends. They offer outdoor seating in good weather, and after walking by a few times I finally decided to give them a try. There are already a couple of long-standing pizza shops in that area that have been there for decades and have loyal followings. They are both very good, so I was curious to see if Upside Pizza could compete. The price for a regular slice was average for the neighborhood. Before I even walked in, something caught my attention. The storefront looks almost identical to Tom's. The color scheme and the lightbulb-style signage look so similar that it made me wonder if they share the same owners or if the design was intentionally modeled after Tom's to draw attention from the steady flow of people who stop to take photos there. It was a smooth and clever move either way. Inside, the shop is on the smaller side but it has a decent amount of seating and a nice oven setup. In good weather they put additional tables outside, so there is plenty of space to sit. As for the pizza, I tried a regular slice first because that is the baseline for me. It looked fine but it did not blow me away. It tasted a bit too basic, especially compared to the other established spots down the block. They do offer a wide variety of specialty slices that look visually appealing, so I would be open to giving them another try. Usually if the toppings and specialty options are strong, that can make up for a simple regular slice. The staff was okay. Nothing remarkable, but nothing negative either. Overall I had an average experience and I might return to explore their other options, but the regular slice did not stand out for me.

    Upside Pizza Cheese Slice - Good, but really small for the price
    Mike R.

    Checked out this Morningside Heights location of Upside. As at the other locations, their basic cheese slice was good, but compared to other places in this neighborhood, like the great "old school" Koronet, it was really small for the price.

    Pepperoni and sausage slices.

    Awesome pizza! Came here for a quick bite with a friend after having walked by multiple times. The guy at the counter ended up giving us a slice for free. Thinest crust pizza I've ever had in this city and it was really good. Nice flavor, char, and taste without being overly greasy. Definitely coming back when I'm the area.

    I am a huge Upside fan so I was so excited to see it open up near Columbia! I'm not sure if this location is as delicious as the Williamsburg one. However, it's still great pizza with unique toppings. It comes HOT. Great lunch option in Morningside Heights!

    I decided to try this new pizza shop that opened near my job. I ordered two plain slices and a soda. It was very busy in the restaurant but the service was quick. I ate my pizza and while it was well prepared and presentable it was very salty. I've never eaten a pizza that was so salty. I'm willing to go back and try other pizza options on the menu but I hope they're not salty as well.

    I was very excited to try this new pizza place near Columbia's campus since my coworker had great things to say about it! It is a chain pizza place that has many other locations in NYC. The pizza was delicious and the interior looked very clean and modern. They were also very quick with getting my pizza heated up and given to me!

    Sicilian Pepperoni (aka Detroit- style pizza)

    Great NY style pizza, thin with good char. No flop on the fold... by the slice or whole pie. Recommended.

    I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

It is located right in the hallway of a subway entrance, next to a bar and across from a coffee shop, and it somehow manages to feel like a cozy, sit-down restaurant right in the middle of NYC. Don't let the odd location fool you, the food here is outstanding. The Neapolitan and Sicilian-style pizzas are both exceptional, with rich, well-balanced flavors and perfectly executed crusts. Every bite tastes high quality. Also, don't skip the house-made lemonade! The experience is even better because of the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They were all so kind to so many people. From offering to keep leftovers in the fridge until a customer was done at their broadway show, to offering a scone to a young child while he and his father waited for their pizza to be done, it was more than just flipping a table and onto the next tip, it was humanity at its best. Be sure to give See No Evil Pizza a try. You certainly will want to come back again for more.

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!

We came here with reservations right after watching &Juliet across the street and the only problem was that I the dishes were so big that I couldn't order more. My wife and I enjoy a good meal but didn't research the size of the portions well. Thankfully our waiter guided us appropriately. We ended up skipping the appetizers and getting a chicken parmigiana and a half order of the rigatoni vodka! It was just enough for us. The chicken parmigiana was just right. It's their star and we can see why. The chicken was breaded well and dressed in the rich sauce and cheese. The breading was not overdone and the chicken was moist and tasty. The complimentary bread was helpful in mopping up the sauce. It was my wife's favorite for the night The rigatoni was my favorite and I regretted only getting the half order.
