Editorial Review for Lombardi's – by Allison Austin
The Scene
Opened in 1897 at 53 Spring Street, just down the street from its present location, Lombardi's is easily one of the city's oldest eateries. Now, since taking over the space next door, the restaurant has almost doubled its former size. And while the original half--with its well-worn booths and open kitchen--easily out-charms the new dining room, the famously long wait has been cut in half, and thanks to the addition of a bar, it's almost a pleasure.
The Food
The reason to come here is obvious: beautiful, smoky crusted pizza with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. The genius of this pizza starts with the crust, which is black and crispy on the underside (with pleasant, slightly bitter overtones), but gives way to a wonderfully soft, yeasty interior. Signature toppings like double-cut pepperoni and homemade meatballs, along with the restaurant's famous clam pie, keep locals and tourists alike coming back.

I was there with my boyfriend on a really busy friday night, we were visiting from LA and we really loved the place. The hosts were very fast and polite. We waited at the bar for like a half an hour but they have great home-made sangria!! Diana was our waitress and she gave a really friendly, super fast and attentive service. Even though she seemed busy( I mean the place was packed) she took great care of our table and we had everything we wished for, even directions...now let me tell you how great the pizza was!!! A slice of heaven. Never did we even taste something so delicious. Great meatballs and roasted peppers. This place is a must. We loved Lombardi's and recomend it to everybody!
