Kevin ErskineDecember 26, 2013Don't bother with the bread sticks...since the pizza crust was so good, you'd figure the bread sticks would be good. Not so.
CrowdscoreOctober 1, 2011Coal oven? Check. Over 100 years old? Check. Lines can get long at this famous pizzeria so try to go during off-peak hours.
Valan KayeJanuary 8, 2011Great Cole oven pizza and salad long wait to get a table though it's worth the wait!
Jessica EturraldeNovember 12, 2014Best pizza in Manhattan. I wrote about it here. http://hotpressjess.com/2012/07/16/manhattan-tips/ Read more
Cutter HouckApril 2, 2012What is the best pizza in New York? Who knows! But you should try Lombardi's on your journey finding out.
ManbqueOctober 22, 2012A tourist trap, yes, but nothing beats a coal fired oven pizza with a pitcher of Yuengling
Stacy ForrestJanuary 19, 2012Cash only. Can't split checks for any reason so don't come if you are on a business trip ...
Chris PolloneAugust 26, 2014Don't come at me with "tourist trap". Is the Sistine Chapel a "tourist trap"? This is the place that invented NYC pizza. Show some respect.
- Sergei ErmackSeptember 3, 2014Pizza is very average, place is too touristy. Worth a visit though just to check the box you've been to the 1st pizza place in NYC.
Estefanía López DefloryMay 12, 2014The food is not bad at all (quite the opposite!), but the waiters are kind of rude and you feel as if they wanted you to eat in a rush.
Lenny GalloSeptember 18, 2010Remember, no credit cards; no refills. A little pricey. I'm glad I went to say I've been to the birth place of pizza, but no need to wait in that long line again.
Bonnie RamonMarch 24, 2011I ate here and it was pretty great, and lucky not to wait long cause I went when it was very early.
ArjunAugust 6, 2015Skip this place and go to a real pizza shop. If you do eat here, skip the "wild" mushrooms (white button mushrooms) and "coal fire roasted" red pepper (completely flavorless).
Joe 😎April 5, 2012This place is so damn good! I will be back for some Lombardi's Pizza straight from the west coast L.A. Cali!
- Renee DiRestaSeptember 5, 2011New York style pizza done right. The white pizza is the best, followed by pepperoni or clam.
EatocracyJune 10, 2010The nation's first pizzeria doesn't accept reservations, but their wood-oven pies are worth the wait.
