Numero 28 - East Village

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!!!

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!!

My good friend Nicole recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. We had the margarita pizza, and the ricotta and spinach ravioli. Delicious!!! My fave thing about this restaurant was the spicy olive oil. I had the lemon drop margarita as my drink, which was fantastic as well! 10/10 highly recommend

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!

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!

Pizza was delicious!!! I split the "couple" size with a friend and we got two flavors - the D.O.C. and the Diavolo; both had super fresh ingredients and tasted wonderful. My drink I wasn't really a fan of.. I had the Aviatore which was a little too sugary for my taste (it has Maraschino liqueur) but it had a great presentation! Waiter messed up one of our pizza orders but other than that service was nice.
