Lombardi's Pizza

"I was really hyped for this visit because of the history and I’m not sure whether I’m not a fan of the style of pizza or if it’s bad, but I know I didn’t really like it. The crust was very well cooked and rather than the light char that you get on a Neapolitan pizza it tasted more widespread burnt. I’ve added a photo of the base where you can see all round the edges is black. There was also a lot of sauce vs crust which I wasn’t keen on. Again, possibly personal taste. It wasn’t dreadful and I did eat a decent amount of it, but just not amazing especially considering it’s quite pricey. I think it was just underwhelming. Service wise my waiter was very eager to tell me how great the food was, and not so keen on answering my questions. I asked him if he did a smaller size as 12” to yourself is quite a lot and he just started ranting about how the pizza was nice, I’m still not sure if there’s a child’s portion or anything. If not it would be a good idea, a lot of places now offer a child size which is also better for smaller appetites."

"The first American pizza restaurant! Very typical place in NYC. The staff and the service is very good. Not big place so expect some waiting time. But it worth! The tomato salad is delicious same as the pasta. You can only pay cash but no problem as that have an ATM in the restaurant. Do not miss this place. A must in NYC!"

"Love the history, food, service, and atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was amazing. We had bread sticks, meatballs, and Margarita red pie x2, it all was amazing. We had a 30-minute wait for a table, which was definitely worth the wait. If you are visiting the city, I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a most try."

"Wonderful pizza. I mean, near perfection. And they’re very fast! The service was wonderful too. Very helpful and kind staff. They have their own soda’s, which aren’t terrible, but if you’re expecting coke, their cola falls very short. This is also a cash-only establishment, so, bear that in mind before going. All-in-all I was so pleased with my experience here. Oh, and it may just have the cleanest bathroom in Manhattan!"

"I was impressed being I'm born in Brooklyn and been eating new york pizza all my life. The taste was great I order a half sausage and half meatballs. And one cheese pizza. I have to say it was very flavorful and cheesy. Even the crust was on point it was crispy. So for my first time here I have to give them all stars. The service was good and the environment was great. Will definitely be back to enjoy another sausage pie. Fyi a little pricey but well worth it."
