Exponentially Great Pizza

by HouDoc

By far the best pizza anywhere. When in NY I want to eat there everyday. Their Original is a marguerita (sp?) pizza that is STOOPID GOOD. You will like it. The wait can be long but worth it.

• Pros: Their Original Pizza, Ambiance, History, Neighborhood
• Cons: Not Any

personal fave

by StevieM

When I lived in the neighborhood, they delivered and I would sometimes eat the whole pie (it was that good). Favorite topping: meatballs.

• Pros: crust, cheese, sauce
• Cons: none

The BEST Pizza Ever....

by jayonline1218

I have been going to Lombardi's for a few years....and it's absolutely, hands down the best brick oven pizza I have ever had!!

I have noticed that the newcomers don't always know what to order...so if you're a meat lover then order the following:

Double meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, onions, fresh garlic!!!! Make it a large pie and take the rest home if there's any left!!

I do miss, the baked clams they once had! They were also the best, but sad they took it off the menu!!

I love it and will continue to visit often!! :)

• Pros: Everything!!!

Best Pizza EVER!

by ED11

I absolutely love pizza. So, naturally, when I was going to Manhattan for the very first time I wanted to try the NYC style pizza. Everyone that has ever been to NYC has always told me about this place. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype and then some. The pizza was awesome. I am going back to NYC this December and already I cannot wait to go back to Lombardi's! Only two months away! Hahaha.

BEST. PIZZA. EVER. PERIOD.

• Pros: Read the headline!
• Cons: I live in Canada. It's too far!

noisy, touristy, lost it's uniqueness

by nativenewyorker22

i remember lombardi's when it was small and quaint. now it's huge. the waitresses wear madonna-like microphones, and while escorting you to your table repeat a thousand times "watch your step!" because they expanded into an adjoining building and the floors don't align from the new area to the original area.

the food took a long time to come out. our clam pizza still tasted good but it was lukewarm - not hot.

all of the waitresses had light brown hair and all looked like they came from ireland, nothing italian about that!

when it's time to leave, they start screaming again "this way out!", treating you like a baby. guess they don't want to say watch your step again, so they found a shortcut outta dere.

A CIRCUS ATMOSPHERE OF THE BAD KIND.

go to lazzara in the garment center. yummmmm.

• Pros: unfortunately a cold but tasty pizza
• Cons: hearing "watch your step" 75 million times

Lombardi's over rated

by ChristianGarcia

Came to know of Lombardi's from the Travel Channels. Arrived at Lombardi's at 3:00 p.m. on 7/26/2009. At the door there was a gentleman or a greater that not even did he did not said good afternoon welcome to Lombardis all that was saided how many are you and the waiting time was less than fifteen minutes. After five minutes the gentleman keeps calling Garcia party of five for about four times noticing the waiter taken care of us. when thru the kitchen then a stair in which is an air condiction balcony facing apartments and backyard i was not fund of. The waiter was pretty nice all the not very familiar with Lombardi's menu. Waitress did not even introduced herself all she said welcome to Lombardi's may I take your ordered. Lombardi's was ok even the we ate a 18" and 14" pie overall pizza was great. The only problem is that Lombardi's do not have a baby changing table nor they take credit card I found that very inconvenience. I would love to come back to Lombardi's with a couple of friend from Aventura, Florida......

• Pros: Great location in the city
• Cons: No Parking, and No Credit Card "Cash Only"

You call this pizza?

by MPRBC

I don't know why this place gets so many stars. It's nothing short of a standard pizza. So it has a little bit of history being the first pizzeria in NYC. great. But guess what, this isn't even the original location. It was originally a few shops down. Anyway, i digress. The pizza here is what i'm suppose to discuss. Its dry. dry dry dry. I also question the quality of the dough. I think i;ve had better pre-made frozen pizza from whole foods on Houston St.

• Pros: Good for tourists
• Cons: Bad for locals
