Sandro MorandinJuly 7, 2015Famous pizza in New York! Good for a pizza to share with friends or family!
Connie ChiuJanuary 16, 2018It’s good but not amazing. Margherita with premium toppings is the way to go. We also added ricotta. Bruschetta is pretty good too.- Jamie BachmanOctober 27, 2012First pizza joint in the U.S., excellent Original Margherita pizza! Definitely competes with the best CT pizza joints, Colony, Pepe's, Rosalind and Modern.
John ObeidinJanuary 4, 2015The margherita with pancetta, pepperoni, and olives is incredible. So amazing.
Nicole SavvaJuly 14, 2013Amazing food! Caesar salad and the margarita (half plain half pepperoni and meatball) is a must!! Cash only but there are ATMs available
Kursad AlbayraktarogluDecember 20, 2018Excellent pizza - definitely worth the hype for its historic importance as the first pizza restaurant in the nation.
Michelle ButlerApril 15, 2013They accept reservations Mon-Thurs. Pizza was yummy! Exactly how it should be. Cash only, but they do have ATMs inside. We ordered a Large (18") Margherita to share, $24.
Jenna McCloskeyNovember 18, 2014My favorite pizza in all of Manhattan! I get it topped with ricotta cheese and sausage. It's always hot and crispy. Mmm.
Ken GriggsOctober 31, 2011Pizza was one of the best I ever had... Margherita with spinach. Well worth the wait. I will come here again from over an hour drive just to have dinner! Top notch.
Vincent SteursNovember 14, 2013One of the best pizzas I've eaten. They come with surprisingly little mozzarella, but that does not effect the quality. Cash Only!
Mariel BrissetJanuary 17, 2015Meatball appetizer is delicious! You won't go wrong with a Ricotta, garlic spinach and pepperoni Pizza Pie! 🍕😻- Jacob AstorOctober 8, 2012Amazing amazing food! Get it loaded! Here is a list of other local spots in NYC worth checking out, including some free entertainment: http://theblogappleguide.blogspot.com/
Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013ALWAYS worth the wait. Pizza sold by the pie and cash only. There is a reason this place has been around so long and is always crowded.
Tim BushnellMay 11, 2017A great charcoal oven pizza, definitely a place to try and enjoy a slice of real NYC
Kesser OsmanMay 6, 2012Haven't tried others places yet to compare, but the food and service here was so great, i'll probably never eat pizza anywhere else again. Very true to my memories of Italy!
Stavria K.August 11, 2015This white pizza really made my day! BUT eat it quickly so it doesn't cool down!
Kevin O'wingsOctober 11, 2018So even though I am from Chicago I love real New York pizza and we have a place called Napolita and it's way better. Sorry. This was ok not what I wanted.
Serious EatsFebruary 26, 2013A huge tourist spot, to be sure, but the pizza here is good. Cash only. Whole pies only. Stay away from the clam pie, even though it may be recommended elsewhere.
YoannJanuary 24, 2017Honestly I don't understand why people are making so much fuss out of this place! Pizzas are tasteless +you drink & eat w plastic plates & cups! not what I expect from I quote "the best pizza in NY"
James PantherApril 17, 2016A must for anyone visiting New York City. Great authentic pizza and excellent service every time.
Jennifer LevineNovember 10, 2015Best coal oven pizza and calzone in the city, bar none. Go early on weekends and during San Gennaro.
Natalia BakerOctober 14, 2014Amazing pizza - super light and delish. Can get half & half with toppings so you can share as they are huge!
Anne SOctober 25, 2015Expensive, limited menu, cash only... But SO good and worth it!! Loved every bite! Caesar salad was good, too!
Missie De Leeuw-BonoMay 26, 2016Best original thin slice pizzeria in the area. Order anything, you can't go wrong. 💗🍕💗
Emily WilsonOctober 14, 2015The pizza is still good, and I really enjoyed the house salad too, but only tourists really come here and it's offensively overpriced
Joshua NewmanJuly 10, 2016Sure, the atmosphere is one step away from the Olive Garden, and the lines get ridiculous, but the pizza itself lives up to the hype.
As always, the pizza was delicious. My gf and I didn't have to wait too long, so that made the experience that much better. You MUST, I repeat MUST, add the homemade meatballs toppings to your meal. P
Mario De La PazMarch 21, 2015I had margheritas pizza. It was delicious! Wait was about 15 min for two. The service however made me feel like I was being rushed out.
HashtagNYUJune 20, 2016Established over a century ago, Lombardi's is absolutely a New York staple. You won't regret it!
The pizza really is good here but also loved the house salad and organic greens a big plus! Also it was nice that they brought the food quick as we were really hungry. :e)
Daniel PorterOctober 7, 2014The red is much better than the White. Simple is best, just pick a meat and you can't go wrong.
EstherFebruary 4, 2012No options of pizza to chose: Just the Original Lombardi's pizza adding as many toppings as you like. Try it with Meatballs+mushrooms! Yummy!
Daniel BarnettOctober 20, 2014I've loved this place for years and will always remain loyal... Even if it's not as good as it used to be :/
Riding BeanJune 12, 2016Expensive, worth the price if the service stepped it up. They tag team service but one of my servers couldn't get me a refill without the main server. Pizza is outstanding though.
ドーラMarch 7, 2011Lombardi's got just the right amount of fresh mozzarella and a tangy sauce redolent of basil. All of the toppings are of high quality, especially the *sliced homemade meatballs*.
Marcel EApril 17, 2013If you are in NY, you have to come here. This is the first pizzeria established in Manhattan. Great coal fired pizza.
Stephen MundtJuly 21, 2015Best pizza place we went to in NYC. Had a large for 4 people and was just the perfect amount.
TaraSeptember 25, 2021New York definitely has better pizza, so go here only if you like your pizza with a sprinkling of history.
Efrain VasquezSeptember 1, 2014Pepperoni pizza and margarita are the best pizza's on the menu. Recommended but a bit pricey.
Christian DickmannFebruary 4, 2017Friend told me I had to come here. Tried the calzone, and was quite disappointed. Had so many so much better pizzas in my life. Now I regret having consumed the calories.
Jon TorerkJune 10, 2012One of NYC oldest and best pizza places in town. The oven they use is from 1902 and you have to try the clam pie!
Shana CarpOctober 14, 2012Really friendly staff and good margarita pizza. Cash only though, and they have tons of competition for Napoli style
Jess NaldoJune 14, 2015There is so much better pizza elsewhere! Classic, yes, but just head over to Prince St. and grab a fresher, more quality slice with even better cheese. Plastic cups? Come on. Is this Chuck E. Cheese?
Mike BeauchampJuly 6, 2012Great place. If you wanna skip the lines, call in your order and get it to go.
Anthony BovassoDecember 17, 2014Everything is great, but my absolute favorite is a white pie with pancetta! Outstanding
Danielle NeufeldMay 6, 2011So good.. but come on a random week night for less wait time. No reservations but if you can grab a seat on the bench the heat lamp will keep you warm!
Danny TrejoOctober 10, 2015Great place to take your family or friends visiting from out of town due to all the history.
