My husband and I recently visited NY again and my husband insisted our first stop was Lombardi's Pizza! For 2 weeks before our trip all I heard was "I can't wait to eat at Lombardi's" WE BOTH LOVED THE PIZZA!...

After being disappointed by so many "New York slices" that were ultra-greasy with disgusting congealed cheese, I was a bit leery of Lombardi's despite its reputation. However, everything about the...

Great pizza and it came out FAST too!!! I'd give it the full five stars if the wait staff was any good. Despite that, I'd go back because the pizza is worth it! Oh and you can share a small...

Overpriced. The place is packed with ravenous tourists and this is going to kill both the atmosphere and the service. At the same time, their pizza is -poor-. It lasts about 15 seconds in a box, it falls...

The spot is bustling, the pizza doughy and crispy in all of the right places. The drinks are ice cold and even the table wine is good. It's a cute, fun date spot that won't break your bank account. There is no...

A bit too crowded with tourists -- so delivery or take-out is preferable -- but the pizza makes it all worthwhile. Great thin crust, fresh mozzarella, and fantastic pepperoni.
