NYC’s hottest new pizzeria is hidden inside a grimy Times Square subway station

A slice of Times Square’s vast underbelly is quickly becoming one of Midtown’s coolest destinations.

Steps from a recently abandoned Duane Reade and a massive, shuttered Sbarro’s at the neighborhood’s northern end, the concourse level of the 50th Street downtown 1 train station is home to a growing cluster of businesses giving Bushwick vibes in the heart of tourist land.

What you’ll find: A nihilist cocktail joint, a sleek espresso bar that roasts its own coffee, a digital art gallery and now, as of Mar. 1, a tightly curated new restaurant, See No Evil Pizza. 

“What we deliver is far greater than what you expect when you walk down the stairs leading to the subway,” See No Evil chef Ed Carew told The Post of the 1,000-square-foot sit-down eatery, which he co-opened with longtime friend Adrien Gallo, the subterranean Midtown magnate behind the adjacent, two-year-old drinkery, Nothing Really Matters, and months-old coffee shop, Tiny Dancer. 

“We are champions of Times Square as a neighborhood and a culinary destination for everything and everyone,” said Gallo, who finds the nabe generally — and the crud-caked corridor where he’s built his basement empire specifically — “an awesome place that’s so alive, once you get past all the noise.”

Gallo isn’t the first to recognize the sneaky, underground charms of both the Crossroads of The World and the station concourse — former tunnel tenant Siberia Bar, opened in the Nothing Really Matters space in 1996, offered a “dank, celebrity-infested” dive which complimented the grimy passageway, all the way up until the turn of the century.
