    Loved the food and service of Cafe 28. . The only complaint I have is there is no egg free pasta. Would love it if they can introduce egg free vegetarian pastas. . Anita our waitress was excellent with her service.

    If you're looking for real Italian pizza, this place delivers the full Napoli experience. From the moment the pizza hits the table, the aroma of that wood-fired, blistered crust pulls you in. Light, airy, and slightly chewy with just the right char — exactly how it should be. The San Marzano tomato base is fresh and vibrant, and the mozzarella di bufala melts like a dream. You can tell they use quality ingredients and traditional techniques — no shortcuts here. The vibe is warm, inviting, and casual — just like a pizzeria in a tucked-away alley in Naples. The service? Fast, friendly, and passionate about what they do. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

    The meal was alright, we have been to Naples and I do not think the pizzas taste the same. Service was poor and they weren’t busy. We had the Burrata, truffle and buffalo mozzarella pizza.
