Have the people who say Lombardi's is the best NY pizza actually eaten there? I was so excited to try it, having been a totonno's addict for many years. Not only is is not as good -- it's not even close. Both have great crust, though Totonno's is a little lighter and thinner. The sauce at Lombardi's was more acidic, but the biggest difference was the cheese. At Totonno's it has some tang to it, with a little bit of baked parmesan on top. Lombardi's fresh mozzarella was bland, flavorless. Toppings-wise, Lombardi's garlic meatballs were terrible, sliced too thick and overdone. Beyond that, the menu at totonno's is amazing, great salads, egglant parm, penne vodka. Lombardi's salad dressing is so heavy on the vinegar it brings tears to your eyes. Lombardi's doesn't hold a candle to totonno's and has rested on its laurels for too long ...
Pros: upstairs patio
