    There's a lot of hype about Lombardi's, and the lines can sometimes be incredible...in ten years of living in NYC, I experienced my first Lombardi's pizza just now! (Aug. 2004!). It was AMAZING. We ordered a black olive and onion pizza and everything was delicious.

    The crust is crunchy outside and soft inside; the cheese is rich, but not too rubbery; the sauce (oh! the sauce!) is fully of tomato and herb and garlic flavors; and the toppings you choose are plentiful.

    I've only had the olive and onion pizza, but I saw several others go by that looked just as stunning.

    This pizzaria opened in 1897 and is one of the oldest eateries in New York. My friend took me there for supper one night, and I soon realised what a popular place Lombardi's is as we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, which I have been told is not too bad, as the wait can sometimes be longer, this is how popular they are!!

    This is where you come for good pizza. They are very very large and equally as tasty.
    If you are 2 people that want their own toppings, they will happily divide the ingredients for you so that each person gets what they want on their pizza. As per usual, I had all the meats on the pizza and loads of olives, and it was very very delicious.

    A large 18" pizza will cost $15,50, and then you can add your toppings from a choice of your favourites.
    Toppings are 1 for $3, 2 for $5, 3 for $6 etc...

    I will reccomend going there for a pizza, their food is very good. If I can advise you, I would book before so you dont need to queue (I am not sure if they take bookings but its worth asking) if you cannot book ahead of time, you can always have a drink in the bar before you have your pizza.

    Lombardi's of Little Italy
    by londonlover
    Lomarbi's of Little Italy has a loyal following of New York-style pizza aficionados, and it holds the honor of being the oldest enduring pizza place in the States. This was the last of my three pizza meals in New York in May 2005, and it certainly is great pizza. However, my pizza preferences lie with Grimaldi's of Brooklyn or John's of Bleeker Street, with Lombardi's as a third choice.

    Lombardi's pizza differs John's or Grimaldi's. Although all are baked in a coal-fired brick oven, Lombardi's uses tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes. I would also consider it a slightly "prefab" atmosphere--more self-conscious than no-nonsense Grimaldi's or John's, and the music was played a little loudly.

    Although the variety of toppings here is great (with more unusual ingredients available than the others), the service when we went was not great. In fact, we ordered two pizzas at our table--one came very quickly, but after 10 minutes, when we finally asked where the second pizza was, our server acted confused and went to check, and then took another ten minutes to bring the second pizza (with a little apology, but without explanation). This may have been a fluke, but they did not go out of their way to make up for this situation.

    Lombardi's Pizzeria is in SoHo. They can reasonably claim to be the first pizza place in New York City. They serve pizza cooked in coal ovens with fresh mozzerlla. I'd say the pizza we had was good give it a try. It is all hand made. Herein lies the problem. Aparently our pie got burned amd 2 other tables were served ahead of us. When we finally got the pie it was good. The best thing to do is sit by the table by the window and people watch. That made up for the late food:) I think though you may find Johns pizza better.

    PIZZA what else, pick toppings of your choice.

  • I love the pizza at this small, cozy restaurant in Little Italy. It was opened in 1905. Their pizza is all thin crust & delicious! Not too greasy, not dry, & not drippy. I`ve been here a few times & I`ve never left disappointed.

    Everything is delicious but try the margherita pizza!

  • Authentic Italian pizzas from brick, coal-fired oven built in 1905. Pizza doesn't get any better.

    PIZZA, select your favorite toppings and enjoy.

  • The oldest pizzeria in the US started in 1905. It is located on 32 Spring St (Spring and Mott). The pizza is very good and lives up to being the first pizzeria in the US.

  • You'd have read all about the history of this place so I won't bother....but the pizza is absolutely fantastic. The service is good and they'll cater for any need (Mrs SWGF is veggie and they gave us a half/half topping). Tasted just like the real thing that we've been looking for since we got back from Rome. Had to wait for 30mins or so, but if you're hankering for pizza, head down to Little Italy and join the queue. Don't go anywhere else....you won't be disappointed.

    18" with additional toppings of wild mushrooms, fresh garlic and pepperoni seemed to go down well!
