Reviews Numero 28 - East Village

Fantastic pizza spot. The vibes of the restaurant were so fun and really had me thinking about how technical designing the space of a restaurant well can be. The pizza was great. I’ll be honest, I’ve had better crusts, but the toppings were fabulous. I particularly enjoyed the pear pizza and the prosciutto and arugula (I’m a sucker for this combo). The third we tried was the numero 28 and it was good but I could have passed - although I do love mushroom on pizza. Like I said, the ambiance was great and it was all well priced. Getting the 3 toppings pizza - aka three different flavors on one big pizza - was a great deal. I’d totally go back!!

First. Nicest staff. It’s my neighborhood pizza restaurant and I’ve been going here for 8 years. They were cash only before the pandemic… now they accept CC. Much easier for me. The food is always so good. Lately I’ve been coming here for happy hour and early dinner with my daughter after I pick her up from school Fridays. They have happy hour til 6. Happy hour drink prices are great esp in the east village! I usually get aperol spritz and a glass of wine. Only $8! Most places for happy hour is still like $11. We love coming here for good food and drinks and very friendly staff!

Solid place. The menu labels the small size of pizza as “individual” but it’s pretty large, definitely enough for two people to share comfortably.

Honestly this is one of my alllllll time favorite go to pizza place!!!!!! The pizza is delicious. It comes in so many different flavors. You can get a single flavor pizza or two flavor pizza or three flavor pizza. It all depends on which size you get. A small is a single flavor. A medium is two flavors and the large is 3 flavors. It is in a rectangular shaped pizza. It is cooked in a brick oven. It's delicious and bubbly and golden brown. I believe in the spring and summer time they open up the window doors so there is the summer breeze coming in and there are tables outside. But in the winter time it is closed and no one is ratting outside. The ambiance is great for a date night or brunch time during the morning. The pasta was delicious but the sauce was a little saltier for me but it was still delicious none the less. Suggested to my friend that she can go there for her birthday with her friends and they loveddddddd it. It really is a wonderful spot to hit up and if you love Italian it is definitely worth trying.

Very good Neapolitan style pizza. Lots of tables and a good amount of outdoor seats. Would be good for a casual night out. Spacious interior as you can see from the photos.

Okay so this place is so so awesome! They were super super nice and welcoming. The only problem was that the food took a VERY long time which we were kinda surprised by. But when we asked, they got to it and brought the food after around 5 mins. But besides that, the food was really good and the environment was really fun! The place itself was cool, with the chairs and the pictures. I strongly recommend!

Update December 2023: Unfortunately they appear to have closed this location permanently. It's such a shame because it was our go-to place especially for holidays. We still talk about how much fun we had on Valentine's Day 2023. And the food was so good! My original reviews follow: We had such a good time here at happy hour on Friday. Happy hour prices are great. We decided to stay after happy hour ended and order a vegan pizza and a big salad. Both were absolutely out of this world. I've been a vegan for 20 years and I've tried every vegan pizza place in the East Village (and all of Manhattan and Brooklyn for that matter), and this is the best I've ever had by far. I don't understand why the other vegan pizza places can't make pizza this good. Our server Noemi was delightful to talk to and very helpful. Shaquille greeted us when we arrived and seated us quickly. He was super friendly. (Update Feb. 2023: We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner here last night. The food is out of this world. The quattro formaggi ravioli is a must try--it's the best I've ever tasted! We also had a delicious vegan pizza and super tasty asparagus and broccolini. Our server, Donatella, could not have been kinder and more helpful. Considering that it was Valentine's Day and they were pretty busy, we felt that we got a lot of attention. And the food was brought to us in a very timely but well thought out manner. This is such a good place that I don't know why I go anywhere else LOL!) (Update July 2023: New Happy Hour! Menu is awesome--food and drink combos at great Happy Hour prices! We went yesterday and had incredibly delicious polenta fries and a glass of wine for like $13-15. We also got an individual pizza and beer for about the same price! I can't wait to go back. Happy Hour ends at 8pm. ) Highly recommended!!!

The pizza here is outstanding! Delicious and great choices, the price is a bit high, but worth it. Don't miss this excellent restuarant.
