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.

The Scene – 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. Ceiling fans lazily whir, echoing the pace of the casual service and young, dressed-down clientele. – – The Food – The pies here are purely Neapolitan, which means baked hot and fast with a thin, chewy, smoky crust. There's no better model than the Bufalina D.O.C., topped with creamy buffalo mozzarella and a sauce bursting with fresh tomato flavor. The staff loves to recommend the pizza…
Terrible service
by Exiledwasp
Ordered a pizza an hour before close yesterday, phone twice to ask where it was, was told it was 20 minutes away, then told almost there...it never came, when I called back a third time to enquire, there was no answer...would love to have rated the food for this delivery but cannot do so. Terrible service.
- Pros: Last time the pizza actually came, it was quite good
- Cons: Pizza didn't come, nobody answered phone
Excellent Pizza
by D Tobias
The margrhita reginella di bufala is outstanding! It is an authentic italian pizza cooked to perfection (most of the time). I don't put topings on so I cannot comment). Bottom line, its a great pizza which is endorsed by the fact that its full of Italians eating there. However, it is expensive for what you get (pizza size is ok but is $16-18 per person and a soda goes for $3). The seating is atrocious and is VERY hard to get in and out of seat and you are stuffed in next to other people (in fact the people next to us just up and left as it was to tight).
So great pizza but not a great experience. Worth it once or twice.
- Pros: Excellent Pizza
- Cons: Overpriced and Cramped
Excellent even by Italian standards
by Elena Collerica
I am Italian and I have been in North America for 12 years. All Along I have been desperately trying to find REAL pizza, simple, tasty, with REAL mozzarella, cooked in a wood burning oven. By now I had given up, resigned to the idea that I could have real pizza only on my trips back to Italy. Well, last Sunday I have finally found it in North America too! In New York city.
Me and my husband were strolling in the West Village when I saw the wood burning oven and the pizza on the tables. It looked so real that I made my husband hang around for another few hours, until supper time. Then we went back to No. 28 and had our pizza. Finally! It was real, real real. It would make the cut even in Italy and believe me this is the first time I make such a claim in the 12 years I have been missing my beloved pizza.
Thank you No. 28, I will spread the rumor among my Italian friends!
- Pros: A real pizza with a real wood burning oven!
- Cons: slightly ndewrcooked
