Not since my first trip to meet my relatives in Sicily have I had pizza as fresh and delicious as Lombardi's family-style pies. With fresh mozzarella melted over the sweet sauce made just like my grandmother used to, the pizza delivered just the kind of old-school satisfaction I was seeking. It was well worth the wait. There was one downside to this restaurant though: the adorable curly-haired, scruffy-bearded waiter that served me rebuffed my shameless flirtation. Politely but firmly he informed me he had a girlfriend, and his loyalties prompted my 40% tip. But I'll be persistant. And if not, there's always the cute bartender that kept me entertained while I waited to stuff my face. It's NOT the waiters that'll keep me coming back. It's the pizza, it's the pizza...
Pros: the fresh ingredients, the male staff!! Absolutely stunning!!!
Cons: I wasted my paper napkin by leaving my phone number. Perhaps if I'd wiped my face with it instead, he'd have called me back...
