Best

Amazing little slice of Italy in NY and not in Little Italy. The West Village location has the best pizza anywhere, and that's including Napoli! Forget about the others, even if...

Out of the way gem. 11/5/2007

This place is so unassuming I first noticed it last nite after living in the neighborhood 7 years. What a treat! Great, thinthin crust pizza. Top notch sauce and cheese. Crispy, ""charred edge"" crusts. And delightful service. Only (minor) issue: wine pour could be more generous. Worth a detour! Like the Village used to be. Pros: best pizza more

Authentic Italian Pizzeria 2/27/2007

Stopped in No. 28 randomly last Saturday. The Milan football match was on the TV, and the place was full of beautiful Italians following the game. The pizza (ordered prosciutto cotto and mushroom) was just like I've had in Italy; paper-thin crust, not too much sauce or cheese. After the meal, our waiter (also Italian) offered us chocolate and marscapone cake that the proprietress made herself, and which she personally delivered to the table. One could tell it was home-made and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Will definitely return when I'm pining for la patria, or just want a real Neopolitan pizza. Pros: Pizza, Italians more

Superb pizza, decent pasta too! 11/20/2006

Quaint, comfortable setting tucked away on Carmine. Sometimes slow service is more than made up for by true quality pies. Staff is attentative to requests though consistency is sometimes not spot on - still fares far better than many alternatives. Pros: Superb pizza! quaint setting/rustic Cons: sometimes slow more

Good Pizza 9/30/2006

Went there with my brother saturday night. Needed reservations. Ordered #3 29"" pizza\r Had appetizer buffalo moz with tomatoes very good. Pizza had ok cheese to sauce ratio, could have used a little more cheese. Also pizza could have had a little less crust and more cheese and sauce to the edges. Great flavor with added grated cheese and EVOO. Overall not bad, price a little steep for the pizza. The 29"" pizza is exactly 29"" but only about 6-7inches across.\r All in all a nice treat good atmosphere very nice waiter staff. Wines are a bargian too! Most bodies all under $25.00 which unheard of for the city.\r \r \r Pros: Wine list, great taste Cons: little high in price. more

It's a perfect pizza party! 5/9/2006

Numero 28 went out of their way to arrange a perfect pizza birthday party! They generously accomodated our group of 11 in their intimate space and provided a fabulous tirimisu cake! The pizza was delicious, the service was excellent and we even got treated to special after-dinner drinks (apparently good for digestion) on the house! We will certainly go back to this special place in the future! Pros: comfortable, nice atmosphere, flexible servers more

Awesome Pizza! 4/24/2006

Went here on a recommendation from a friend who found this while walking through the Village. The ambiance was very casual and relaxed. The service was very attentive. Most of all the pizza was absolutely awesome! This is not one of your run of the mill ""by the slice"" places. This pizza is the real deal. All the ingredients were fresh and it tasted very authentic. Reminded me of when my wife & I were in Italy. more

A Most Go!!! 4/20/2006

A couple of friends of mine stopped by this place last night and we had an incredible time. The food was magnificent! They had all sorts of good quality toppings. Our favorite was the San Danielle and the Pear with Gorgonzola. I read the review below and I would definitely say to disregard it, we had great service. They were very attentive with us and not to mention everyone else there it was fantastic because they all spoke Italian and that made everything even better. It was like being in Italy!!! I would definitely give them two thumbs up and recommend it to all. Pros: Food, Price, Ambiance Cons: Cash Only more

""worst service ever"" 4/14/2006

As the table beside ours was on their way out they muttered about the horrible service, we should have heeded their warning.. We had a party of six, sat ourselves out on the sidewalk after waiting, waited for menus, waited another 10 minutes to order, then-after 15 minutes- our dishes proceeded to come out once every 10 minutes. One of my friends would finish and then another would receive their plate. The waitress was borderline deaf or completely ignoring everyone around her. The food wasnt bad, and somewhat reasonably priced but it made us realize how important good (or at least sufficient) service is. I would not eat here again, our table had a substantial bill yet the waitress did not seem to care at all. You could go elsewhere for the same food and get better service. Pros: food Cons: WORST SERVICE EVER, portions more

Straight from Naples! 11/8/2005

I've tried almost every italian rest in NY - and nothing can compare to No.28. The food and not to mention their pizza is unreal. I went there with some friends the other night and while we were there we met Salvatore, the pizzaiolo, who is not your typical pizzaman, he has so much character and personality, no wonder his pizza is incredible. I would reccomend this place to everyone. and while you are there try the Margharita DOC(Salvatore's speciality-not on menu) and their Zepolies!!! Pros: moderate price, excellant food Cons: cash only more

the most delicious pizza in new york 8/16/2005

The pizza at No. 28 is made in a wood fired brick oven(hard to find in NYC), the crust is thin and crispy. My two favorite pizzas are the Daniele which is made with a tasty simple tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh arugula and prosciutto di parma on top sprinkled with a little parmigiano and amazing olive oil from their family's grove in Italy. My other favorite is called pizza patata featuring thinly sliced potatoes, fresh ricotta, fresh rosemary and walnuts. Everyone at the restaurant is friendly, there are always people screaming in Italian, you can watch Luigi the pizzaoilo make the pizza in front of the oven... This place is great for birthday's, a nice date or hanging with your friends... It's like going to an Italian home! Pros: near W4- ACE BDFV Cons: cash only more

Owner Message

  • So what is the secret of Numero 28 success? Simple - the restaurant produces pizzas using only natural and fresh ingredients, and it employs tried and traditional methods for preparing and raising the pizza dough. This combination of the great and the good has earned Numero 28 a 'Pizza DOC' stamp of approval. The DOC is to pizza what DOC is to wine - a signature of quality awarded by a central body. The pizzas are not just loved by the people of the Village; in fact they have drawn the attention of the Italian glitterati as well as a few international big hitters.

    There's no mystery as to the specialty here: A brick oven entirely dominates one room while the black-and-tan dining room features the history of pizza scrawled on one wall....
