mmm.. 11/17/2005

i had their ""clam pie"" yesterday and it's out of this world. basically it's a clam pizza stuffed with herbs and cheese. have it with ""stella"" beer. it doesn't get any better than this. comfort food and a casual atmosphere. Pros: clam pie, fast service, friendly staff more

FRESH Pizza! 10/27/2005

I went there last year after graduation with my mom and brother. We are from Europe and know exactly what kind of pizza we like. Crispy hot crust, from a wood brick oven, a little burnt on the edges, not too much, just to give you that hint of a smoky taste. The toppings were all incredibly fresh and the pizza was huge! All three of us agreed that despite having had plenty of pizza in Italy, that this was one of the best pizza's we've ever had. There is no way that I would go back to NYC without revisiting this restaurant. The only bad thing was that we felt slightly rushed because it is such a popular place. Strangely enough, we got lucky and didn't have to wait at all, although we went at night. Bon Appetit! Pros: fresh ingredients, authentic, affordable Cons: rushed more

pretty good 10/3/2005

my roomie and i tried this place soon after moving here; the ambience was great if you like that bustling italian atmosphere...we were seated quickly and service was prompt..the pizza was pretty good; fresh basil and cheese were yummy..classic crusty bottom..not the cheapest pizza in town but good to try. more

GREAT FOOD 9/21/2005

We usually go to NYC 3-4 times a year. We ALWAYS go for lunch. The best pizza. We have never had to wait in line, as we always go for lunch. Pros: pizza more

Not my favorite 9/19/2005

Simply put -- some like 'em wet and sloppy, others like 'em thin and crispy. Count me in as the latter and Lombardi's fall into the former catergory. The pie has a fresh yeasty scent (ugh!) when you bite into it and it is served with a burnt bottom and a chewy mouth fill. Since I'm bias towards thin, crispy pizzas, I did not enjoy Lombardi's version at all. It's a matter of personal preference so I can't fault Lombardi's. The service is good, the atmosphere is charming, and the value is fair. Pros: Service Cons: Pizza more

Good food, not great ambience 9/8/2005

I have eaten at Lombardi's a number of times. I have to say, great pizza, not good ambience. Why would you have the lights on so bright (like daylight) at night? Was obviously much too bright. But great food! more

Nice, but maybe not best 9/1/2005

The pizza was pretty good, it did come out a little fast and wasn't hot. The service was fantastic, the seating host was nice, the waitress was a gem and the bus boy noticed my table wabbling and stopped by to put something under the leg so it would stop. I didn't prompt him or anything, totally great service. Pros: service Cons: pizza is just okay more

Lombardi's- Great service, disappointing pizza 7/16/2005

After waiting over an hour on a hot and humid summer night, my date and I were finally seated. We were taken care of immediatley and ordered the large pie with fresh garlic and wild mushrooms and a salad. Our salad arrived right away, and our pie arrived just as were were finishing the salad. It looked beautiful; cheese nicely arranged and julienned strips of basil sprinkled about. But the mushrooms were domestic, cultivated paper thin slices of cremini's and hardly what I would call wild. The sauce was sharp, bitter and acidic and the cheese was spongy and rubbery. Too bad the pizza wasn't as good as the service! Lombardi's? A major disappointment. Pros: Service Cons: Long wait more

One of the best in the World 6/26/2005

I did not comment on the ""Ambience and Service"", because I never ate here - I ALWAYS order the pizza delivered from this place. One some occasions I've ordered a pizza for take out - and was glad because the lines to get in were too long. I can't believe how delish the pizza always is. It's not the typical greasy, oily tomato sauce pizza that you'll get from every other New York pizzeria place. It's got this traditional old school authentic taste to it. Also, it tastes best without any toppings so that you can best enjoy all the flavors of the fresh sauce and fresh basil. So yeah, definitely order this either for take out or for delivery instead of going here. That way you won't have to stand on line. Also - this pizza is so good, that even after sitting around for 2 days you bite into to the left overs & say ""oh gawd this is so good!"" Pros: Delivery, Fresh sauce, not greasy, left overs are sooooo good! Cons: No Parking, long lines more

Best Pizza in the City....hands down 6/18/2005

Putting fresh garlic in the cheese...and I'm talking tons of it....is a brilliant idea. This place has the best pizza in the city...when you come to NY you have to get a pie here. If you go on the weekend you'll be waiting....it's open till Midnite. more

I get a large and freeze most of it so thaT I CAN HAVE IT WHEN I want it and it reheats nicely.they just expanded the dineing room so you may not have wait in the long line that they useually have on the weekend nights Pros: nothing out of a CAN, free fresh garlic, Brick oven tastes bet Cons: long line at night more

Famous for a reason! 5/10/2005

This place is a NYC must. It's worth the wait if there is a line. They just renovated and expanded their space and they still are packing them in. I would stick to the pizza. We had the tomatoe and mozarella salad and it was pretty weak. The pizza is outstanding and the service is very quick! more

Great Pizza!! 4/27/2005

My husband and I flew in to NYC for the long weekend to see the ""city"". We took one of those red bus tours and they mentioned Lombardi's. We got right off and we in. The service was fast. Yes, the place is small, but I have seen smaller places. Any ways....we got the pizza really fast and both my husband and I ate a whole large ourselves! The pizza was great. We did not get anything fancy, just sauce, fresh mozerella and basil, but the crust was SOOO good. I am glad we did not add any other toppings. Personally if we go to NYC again, we will stop there again. more

Don't waste your time or dough! 4/15/2005

Lombardi's first impression: nice pizza parlor like room, ambiance great, BUT THEN they send you somewhere else.....we got shoved in a narrow hallway next to the kitchen, which was really noisy. One would think that you would at least have better service here...especially being so close to the kitchen with a lot of waiters coming/going alot, but we were wrong. By the time we ate through half our pizza which the crust too salty tasting, we had finished our sodas and were dying of thirst. Where was the waiter? We didn't finish our pizza, could not pallet another bite, ended up throwing it away. We finally flagged down another server who brought us more to drink, and then they took forever with the check. We usually leave a tip, but not this time. We were almost on the verge of getting up and leaving without paying. NEVER AGAIN! Cons: Salty Crust, Rude Waitstaff, Noisy more

Lombardi's 4/11/2005

Be there RIGHT when it opens. It's still crowded but you can be seated without a wait. Otherwise you will have to wait for the experience. The pizza lived up to the hype. Very inexpensive. more

A Place of Special Meaning...and....Great Pizza! 4/8/2005

This was the spot of my first date with my Angel Face, so I'll try to be objective. If I had to pick a pizzaria to have my last meal at, this would be it! The pizza is beyond words. The ""clam"" pizza is sooooo good!!! You have to give it a try. If you are coming into NYC and never had a NYC pizza, you must come here. Needless to say, when my Honey and I feel like pizza and want to reminisce, guess where we go. I'm 100% Sicilian, so I'm a good judge of good pizza.....THIS IS GREAT PIZZA! Pros: Excellent Pizza, Fun Atmosphere, Good Service Cons: Long Lines more
