Great New York Styled Pizza 6/6/2003

Lombardi's serves that rare pizza where you actually enjoy the crust as much or more as the pie itself. Thin, charred crust yet delicately chewy with that deep aroma of the coal oven heat. A basic cheese pie is heaven enough but for a real treat add on their double cut pepperoni and kalamata olives. They are most famous for their clam pie which I have tried but found the clams very chewy. Keep in mind you can only get a whole pie, no slices here. Thin pizzas look much more substantial than they really are, a normal couple can comfortably eat a small (14"") pie. Good house red as well. Pros: great tasting crust; double cut pepperoni Cons: chewy clam pie more

Simply the best 4/23/2003

There is a reason why it is so difficult to get a table here. The pizza is the best I ever had. Being originally from Brooklyn, I thought I could never find a place that tops any of the pizzarias of the borough. But this place does. The service is a head ache but the pizza more then makes up for it. Be ready to wait a while for a table even if you have a reservation, but is definitely worth it. Pros: Excellent food, nice atmosphere Cons: Crowded, slow servive, expensive more

The Best 4/22/2003

By far the best pizza i have evere had. I was a visitor from chicago and lombardi's definitely topped any chicago pizza. If ever back in new york, i will go back again and again. Pros: food, service, ambiance Cons: tight seating areas more

Best pizza in the world 4/21/2003

What else can be said of the creator of pizza? May god bless his wonderful soul!!! The sauce here is unreal, full of fresh tomatoes and spices. The fresh basil on top is also a nice complement. Pros: Great crust, Great Sauce more

Best Pizza in New York. Period 3/22/2003

Until I eat a better pizza from a no-slice establishment, Lombardi's is the absolute best pizza you can eat in New York. Yes, I've been to the other famous joints, and they're all in the ""9"" category - except maybe Totonno's in Coney Island, which is a 9.5. But I do believe Lombardi's earns a 10. If you are a pepperoni lover, you have not lived until you have a Lombardi's pepperoni pizza. If only for that, I set them aside. The reviewers here are definitely right about telling them not to burn the crust if you don't like a well-done pie, which is how they make it. (But I actually think it adds to the flavor.) And don't hesitate to take them up on the free garlic topping, because ain't nothing else even close to free here! Pros: Best pepperoni, Great Cheese, Great Crust Cons: Nothing more

Not the same 3/19/2003

I have always praised Lombardi's as being the best pizza joint in NY. However, the past few times I have eaten there, the clam pie and the regular pie have dissappointed. The clams were rubbery and I found shells, the crust burnt...It's just not the same anymore. Pros: tasty crust, soho location Cons: inconsistant more

clam pie... hmmm... 3/16/2003

I read reviews about the famous clam pie... and decided to go there for a try when I'm visiting New York... Well... to be honest... I was a little disappointed... the crust was crispy tasty... but the clam is too much... it has that really strong seafood smell that I'm not too fond of... I rather eat the crust without the clam... And it is a little pricy... but other talbe's pizza looks pretty yummy... maybe i oughtta try the real pizza next time... more

Pure Ambrosia 3/7/2003

I dont think I have had any better pizza anywhere! I think it tops Pepe's in New Haven. Ive been lucky enough to fly in to NYC twice for lunch and it was fantastico!! I will always be a Lobardi's die-hard. I hope to be back soon! more

I don't get it? 2/10/2003

I've given this place 2 shots2/2002 & 2/2003. Both times I was disappointed. I must give them points for consistency. Both visits the crust was burnt although tasty and there were plenty of chunky toppings, but that's where it ends. Sauce is scarce and has little taste. I'm not sure that they even remembered the cheese. Each bite was nothing but dough because the stuff couldn't stay on the crust, call it a lack of cheese or blame it on the topping size, but any way you slice it, this place is definitely not even on my great pizza list. A+ for ambience. Pros: ambience, roof top seating Cons: Pizza more

Pizza, the way it was meant to be! 2/10/2003

Pizza was the best I ever tasted. I would recommend anyone who visits New York, to try Lombardi's! more

Overrated. 2/2/2003

Good pizza. Ask them to cook it for shorter than usual because they almost always burn the crust. Definitely not worth a wait, especially when Pomodoro's is 50 feet away and better but Lombardi's is good for a change every so often. more

Small, Ice cold pizza for $16 1/23/2003

I have know idea how Lombadis can be ranked one of the best pizzerias! We ordered a small pepperoni pizza for delivery. It took over an hour to reach us and the pizza was hard and cold! And to top it off the service could not understand why we were upset! I have eaten at many pizzerias around the city (I wouldn't call myself an expert), but this was the most expensive, disgusting pizza I have ever eaten. An embarrassment to NY slices! Cons: overpriced, cold, disgusting more

Pretty Darn Good 1/21/2003

I have been to this place once and had delivered maybe 4 times. Every time the crust and toppings have been excellent. BTW, there is a lot of good pizza in California. I love NY but you need to get over the pizza thing. more

Pizza without a package 1/6/2003

As for the previous reviewer, the crust wasn't burnt, it was charred...the sign of a good coal or wood oven crust. I'm not even from new york and i know a good crust. As for Manhattan not having good pizza, you just suggested a joint on Broadway, which if I'm not mistaken IS IN MANHATTAN. Lombardi's has a great crust char with some chewiness, very mild but fresh sauce, and mild mots. Fresh basil and garlic are plentiful and the mushrooms were squeeky fresh. The ambiance on the back patio leaves everything to be disired but this place is about pizza, hot and fast. Still no Grimaldi's in my opinion though. Pros: Mild, Good Pie, Great Oven Cons: Backroom ambiance more

Worldwide pizza critic 1/2/2003

Tried many pizzas throughout the world. Manhattan just doesn't have good pizza. Brooklyn is better. Chicago and L.A. are better. Lombardi's is just another tasteless pizza. The sauce tastes like tomato sauce out of a can Why bother. Go to Mamma Sbarro's on Broadway if you want a decent pizza. Pros: none really Cons: poor taste, pizza crust burnt more

Big, VERY Big! 12/27/2002

Not being a fan of pizza, I reluctantly joined my friends at this restaurant which was highly reccomended in the guide we were using. The service was very good, and the waitresses were polite and smiley. The restaurant is in a U shape but seemed a little cramped. The food was, well, large, actually the largest pizza I have ever seen, and it tasted pretty good. They will even put different toppings on each part of the pizza to suit everyones taste! Pros: Service, Amount of Food, Location Cons: Cramped, Busy more
