Numero 28 Pizzaria & Cucina

Meh. Service 3, pizza… Over price… Ambiance… parents after school with a million kids running around… Not a good spot for getting a beer and a bite after work. Pizza… Nothing to write home about.

Awesome.
The vibe, seating, and music are absolutely awesome and so relaxing. I just wanted to sit there and sip wine all night.
Appetizers: we got the buffalo mozzarella with prosciutto which was incredible and a healthy helping for the 4 of us. My co worker said it was the best he ever had, it was totes good!
Spaghetti: we wanted something to split so we got the bolognese fettuccini which was arguably some of the best homemade pasta I have had and cooked all a denete.
Pizza: note pizzas are HUGE! We got two mediums and I thought they would take over the world! Definitely probably some of the best wood fired pizza I have had. 2 mediums were a lot maybe one medium and a small would have been good. We got the Frichettonne and the Parma, the Parma being my fave and blowing it out of the water, but incredibly delicious though.
This would be excellent to go or bring home for leftovers. I definitely want to/​am looking forward to coming back here again.

Hands-​down the best real Italian pizza in Brooklyn thin crust-​perfect amount of tomato sauce cheese and fresh garlic and Cherry tomatoes and peppers and mushrooms –stakes are pretty good little salty but still pretty good tuna tartare five stars this place will make it and is worthy.

Have you ever been mad at yourself for not having gone to a place in your neighborhood that’s been open for a while, because when you finally go it turns out to be pretty great, so you’re kicking yourself for not having gone sooner?
My wife has that problem, except she gets mad at me instead of herself, and she kicks hard.
In any case, we should’ve been coming in here for the past year because Numero 28 is pretty great. We have a surplus of good pizza in this neighborhood, so we didn’t really feel the need to check out another, but this cute little spot off Smith Street offers a lot more.
Namely, delicious fresh pasta:
Lasagna bolognese. Purple gnocchi. Spaghetti with clam sauce. These are things I like to have in my life, and I don’t know why I waited so long to eat them at Numero 28, where they do pasta right. The salads are solid (pear, gorgonzola and pancetta are never a bad combination), the apps are good (I don’t know what aurora sauce is, but I like dipping calamari in it), and of course they have pizza, but we needed some good lasagna around here now that Brucie is no more, and I like this one.
With regard for the pizza, it’s not bad by any means. They offer an array of toppings to place atop a not quite thin, not quite thick crust, and I’m not sad about being able to order at 29″ pie. Anything with caramelized onions is a winner, by the way.
But I’m here for the pasta. And the booze, but that goes without saying.

For newyorkers: if you want to eat an excellent pizza come here and order it one (with a medium one can eat ²⁄₃ people). But they don’t have only pizza ;)
For Italians in New York: if you miss your homefood come here and enjoy the place and Brooklyn.
The atmosphere is cool and the service is excellent.

Amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Beet salad is mouth watering and pizza is always made to perfection.

Solid addition to the neighborhood /​diverse menu /​good staff /​cocktails could be more interesting but solid /​you should try it.

We all enjoyed our plates here! Shrimp Risotto, pizza, and lasagna! Great ambiance inside and in Brooklyn! Pizzas are huge and super tasty with their fresh ingredients! We recommend eating all our choices and def recommend the Crème Brûlée! Will come back again!

Love this place and last night was my first time. Food was amazing, staff friendly and welcoming! Definitely, will be back. If you want authentic Italian cuisine, this place is special!!!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The pizza is incredibly fresh and delicious. My friend and I ordered a small margherita and mushroom truffle pizza to share. It was so flavorful, thin and the right amount of everything.
Definitely ask for garlic sauce on the side!
The restaurant itself is very charming and cozy, perfect for a date night or small group dinner!

When this gorgeous space opened up in Cobble Hill, I must have passed it a dozen times before finally grabbing some friends for dinner. The first thing they noticed was the thing I love so much about this place: It’s huge! Seriously, it’s rare to find something that’s warehouse-​sized in this ‘hood, and it’s a nice spot to bring a big group for a meal.
The pizza is amazing (and fairly priced, those complaining didn’t comment on the massive size of it). The drinks are also superb – loved the Japanese influence, which was a nod to their chef.
My only complaint is that the service can be a bit slow at times, but hey that might be the Italian way.

Why it took a century to bring decent pizza to New York is a mystery to me. When it did, it came with a price.
Considering the ingredients on the menu aren’t designated DOC, (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), it’s a bit much.
The space is cool, the food good, but it’s overpriced and cold inside. We kept our jackets on throughout dinner, and noticed other diners did too. Are we paying for the heat?
–14″ Margherita Pizza is $ 14! (DOC is $ 19)
–Penne with Tomato Sauce $ 18!
–Lasagna $ 18!
Ellipsis.
Drop the prices by two bucks down the menu, and you’ll be a winner, otherwise it’s a bit absurd.
*A note on Service– We are New Yorkers, we know how restaurants work.
I felt like we were being waited on by the owner overlooking the manager, who was overlooking the waiter, giving the uncomfortable feeling of being a tourist in Rome.
I was waiting for the € 3 for the bread charge.
Ellipsis.

This rustic chic eatery is so much more than just a pizza joint, but they definitely know how to pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by how stylish and spacious this place is. Complete with a full bar and a bartender who, I’ve heard, makes some rockin’ cocktails, I could even see bringing a date here.
My friends and I ordered a carafe of their house red, two apps (kale salad and burrata with eggplant), and two medium pizzas (Capricciosa and Diavola). The kale salad wasn’t anything special, but the burrata with eggplant was delicious and unlike anything I’d ever tried before. The pizzas were also very delicious. Thin, but still soft crusts and great, fresh flavors. Just looking at the photos make me hungry.
Note that the mediums are rectangular and about 2.5′ long! Definitely enough for 3, or 2 hungry people.
Our bill came to just under $ 130 before tip; a good value for the amount and quality of food you get!

Beautiful restaurant with authentic Italian pizzas (and staff!). We went in during brunch hours (they do have a brunch menu), but decided to stick with personal pizzas– the Italian way! If you’ve ever had pizza in Italy, this is going to bring you back to that delicious moment. If not, let me give you a virtual taste. Italian style pizzas are usually 10 – 12 inches and made for a single person. That’s a sort of fun size where you’re going to feel really happy (and then really sad) if you eat the whole thing yourself, but you might start slapping your dining partner’s hand if you just share one. The pizza is very thin, though not crispy, and has the best quality ingredients and sauce adorning it. Bellissima!
The restaurant is very well done, cozy and chic, and the staff are great. Highly recommend checking it out.

Some of the best pizza made by reeeeaaal Italians… From Italy LOL
A we dropped in for a quick bite at midnight.
The staff was friendly, no one rolled their eyes at us strolling in almost at closing.
The place was lovely, warm and intimate. Nicely decorated and clean. Even their bathrooms were well kept.
We didn’t explore everything that’s offered here because the place was closing but there was a full bar with some interesting looking cocktails on their menu.
The pizzas were pricy but worth every penny. We got a margarita pizza. Thin crust, fresh, flavorful, non greasy… Just top quality. They gave us a bowl of fresh parm cheese to sprinkle as much as our hearts want. But honestly, the pizza was so flavorful, I chose to just enjoy it as is.
We were very impressed and we’re glad we stumbled on this place accidentally.
After we took our first bite, we basically committed to coming back to try more.
Great little gem here.

I came here with my parents around 10 PM on Saturday night. The space is gorgeous; it’s cozy and light with great front windows (the front walls are entirely windows) that overlook a quiet, residential block. The room was lit with candles and soft lighting that gave it a romantic, comfortable feel.
The waiter was fantastic and the food was spectacular. My dad and I shared the Arugula salad (fairly basic: arugula, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese with a nice, light balsamic dressing) and a sausage pizza that was enormous (we got a medium – there were plenty of leftovers). My mum ordered the calamari which were delicious (lightly fried, chewy, perfection) and the eggplant Parmesan which I believe is an appetizer but satiated her just fine.
The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, the service is great. I HIGHLY recommend Numero 28 for date night or just a nice dining experience.

I am so glad I get to update this review with 5 stars because I’ve really been rooting for Numero 28.
Came for the third time last night at 11:45pm (yes, they were still serving food!) and the service was absolutely stellar. The food, as it’s always been, was on point. (So far I’ve tried the reginella and frichetta pizzas, the homemade fettuccine in tomato sauce topped with fresh basil, and the bruschetta). The classic, fresh flavors plus the kindness of my waiter just made my night.
Thank you, guys. Keep it up!

I’m a regular customer of the other pizzeria in the East Village location and this was my first time at Cobble Hill location.
It was the perfect evening to sit on the lounge next to the window and dine.
We had the pizza Tokyo (crispy flat bread topped with fresh tuna, scallions and mayo-​wasabi) OMG!! and the grilled Octopus served over mashed chickpeas was outstanding!
The food is authentic and prepared by their Italian (and hot!) chef.
The servers are always smiling and making sure that you have a fantastic time.
I definitely recommend this place, try them and you’ll be back for more :)

This pizza is it! We ordered a medium diavolo and it was perfection. It arrived on a long wood cutting board which was a nice rustic touch. We have been to a few other wood fired pizza places and all had very wet crusts. Número 28 has it down to a science be every piece had the perfect (to us) consistency. I adore the charred color on the crust and it adds that amazing smokey taste. The sauce is insane. It tastes just like the freshest tomato and not tomato paste. The soppressata is a lovely textural topping and the mozzarella was nicely melted.
The décor and ambience was a nice rustic/​urban café feel. We loved that the front windows were open for that indoor/​outdoor dining experience. While the service left a bit to be desired the food made up for it. This is definitely going to become our regular pizza fix.

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT:
Come here for good fresh pizza, good vibes, and delicious cocktails. Further details below my friends! :)
After a few drinks across the street at the 61 Local bar, my friends and I decided to grab dinner here. Their pizza is really fresh and the server suggested we order a large pie. The cool points here is that you can order your specialty pizzas and divvy it up across one pie… SO we each got to order our desired flavors.
The icing on this gem of a venue is their signature cocktails. I believe their bartender either came from or used to operate a speakeasy in NYC (I don’t recall which). I wish I took a picture of their drink menu since I didn’t realize this is a new addition to the Numero 28 Cucina chains in NYC, but please order up your drink of choice and I promise you can’t go wrong (all 3 of us literally tasted each different drink order and we loved each one).
Cheers!
