Dear Slice: 'I'm Looking for a Particular Pizza Joint in Greenwich Village'

Reaching in to the Slice mailbag, we've got ...

Dear Adam,
Last time I was in New York I went into a pizzeria to look at the menu. I don't remember the name. I was hoping you could help me out if I give you a explanation of where I was.

I was eating at Kesté and after lunch walked down the street Kesté is on. On the right side a block before the Village, there was a wood-fired pizzeria. I think it had a number in its name. The inside had the oven separated from the restaurant, and there were a few tables in front of the oven. The smell of the pizzeria was exceptional. Do you know this restaurant?

I am a big follower of Slice, I own a pizzeria in Oberlin, Ohio, called Lorenzo's. Our pizza is baked in a pan and is a type that is typical of the Cleveland area. I cook wood-fired in my back yard and am a fan of Neapolitan pizza. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Dear Larry,

This one's easy!

That would be No. 28.

So named because it's at 28 Carmine Street, New York NY 10014 (at Bleecker Street; map).

Enjoy!

Hasta la pizza,
Adam
