Manhattan, NY — New York Pizza Suprema, a pizza restaurant located at 413 8th Avenue in Manhattan, received a score of 41 during a health inspection conducted on March 26, 2026, placing it in the Grade C category under New York City's restaurant grading system. Inspection data was released by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on March 31, 2026.

Inspectors documented one violation during the visit, classified as non-critical under NYC Health Code standards.

What Inspectors Found

The violation recorded at New York Pizza Suprema fell under Code 10F, which addresses non-food contact surfaces and equipment. Inspectors noted that a surface or piece of equipment was found to be improperly maintained — either made of unacceptable material, not kept sufficiently clean, or not positioned in a way that allowed adequate access for cleaning on all sides, above, and underneath the unit.

Non-food contact surfaces include items such as shelving, storage units, equipment frames, and other fixtures that are not in direct contact with food. While Code 10F is classified as non-critical, meaning it does not represent an immediate threat to public health, ongoing maintenance deficiencies in these areas can contribute to broader sanitation concerns over time.

The violation carries points under the DOHMH scoring system, and the cumulative score of 41 places the restaurant in Grade C territory.

Food Safety Context

Restaurant health inspections in New York City are governed by NYC Health Code Article 81, which establishes sanitation and food safety requirements for all permitted food service establishments. The FDA Food Code, which informs these standards nationally, addresses equipment design and maintenance as factors in preventing conditions that could contribute to contamination.

Under these frameworks, non-food contact surfaces are required to be constructed of materials that allow for thorough cleaning, maintained in a clean condition, and positioned or installed in ways that allow inspectors and staff to access all surfaces. Code 10F violations indicate that one or more of these conditions was not met at the time of inspection.

DOHMH conducts unannounced inspections of all permitted food service establishments at least once per year. Restaurants with higher scores or repeated violations may be inspected more frequently.

Inspection History

New York Pizza Suprema's inspection record over the past three years shows variable results:

  • April 14, 2025: Score 13 (Grade A)
  • November 19, 2024: Score 27
  • July 17, 2023: Score 20 (Grade B)
  • January 26, 2023: Score 31 (Grade C)

The restaurant achieved a Grade A on its most recent prior inspection in April 2025, a significant improvement from a Grade C result in January 2023. The March 2026 inspection represents a notable increase from that Grade A score, returning the restaurant to Grade C territory for the first time since early 2023.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on their inspection scores. Lower scores reflect fewer or less severe violations, while higher scores indicate more issues identified during the visit.

  • A: Score of 0–13 points
  • B: Score of 14–27 points
  • C: Score of 28 or more points

Restaurants that receive a score placing them in Grade B or C territory during an initial inspection may request a re-inspection, at which point a final letter grade is assigned. Grades must be posted in a window or door visible from the street.

Consumers can look up the full inspection history for any permitted NYC food service establishment through the DOHMH's restaurant inspection database, available via the NYC Open Data portal. Records are updated on a rolling basis as new inspections are completed and processed.
